Peacemaker S2 Episode 6 - BIG TWIST REVEALED! - Angry Review

Quick Overview

The reviewers gave Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 6 an overall rating of 8/10, praising the character development for heroes like Peacemaker and Vigilante, despite noting that the episode was somewhat tonally jarring and less focused on the main villains.

Key Points: The reviewers gave Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 6 a final rating of 8/10. The episode featured a major twist reveal that the character Lex Luthor, who was in prison, was actually the one who killed Peacemaker's father. The character Lex Luthor (played by Nicholas Hoult) is perceived as a very successful actor, but his character's morality is questioned due to his actions. The episode successfully handled emotional moments, particularly concerning Peacemaker's character arc and potential future. The reviewer noted that the show is doing well by rehabilitating characters who might otherwise be seen as pure villains, like Peacemaker and Vigilante. The episode contained a potentially shocking reveal that the character Lex Luthor, who they expected to be aiding the heroes, might actually be a sociopath. The episode featured a scene where the characters are forced to deal with the repercussions of past actions (like killing a prisoner) which forces character growth.

Detailed Analysis

The hosts of The Angry Joe Show (Angry Joe, Alex, and another member) gave Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 6 an 8/10 rating. They discussed the episode's success in developing characters, particularly Peacemaker and Vigilante, noting that the show excels at rehabilitating characters who might otherwise be considered pure villains. A major plot point discussed was the reveal that Lex Luthor (played by Nicholas Hoult in prison) killed Peacemaker's father, which the hosts found compelling, despite Luthor's general character being morally gray or sociopathic. The episode is praised for having strong character-driven moments, like the scene where Vigilante is essentially forced to stop his reckless behavior (like killing a prisoner) because he realizes the stakes are high. The reviewers felt the show paid off its long build-up, even if the episode itself wasn't the most action-packed. They noted that the series continues to be a success for the DCU, even if they anticipate some viewers might dislike the tone or character choices, such as the potential for Lex Luthor to be a true villain.
