Starting point is 00:00:45 New helmet. Real hero? You wear a clown costume and go out and beat up people. Whoa! Whoa! Chris, take something bad and make something good out of it. Wow, is he really going to turn a tide here? We need to find the peacemaker. Oh, snap.

Seeing you. Oh damn. Whoa. What is it? Tim Meadows. It leads to a parallel world. Cool. It's a great, it's a great deal, man. Argus.

And I'm tidy whitey's there's another dimension. It's exactly the same as ours I'm turning you up with a new agent rib Jagger. Who's Rip Jagger? Oh, Kudo Master! Hey! Hey, fatty.

Starting point is 00:02:06 Ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha! No matter how green the grass is over there. Yes, Pops is there. You belong here with us. Oh my God. Was that a Mighty Crab Joy's billboard? I think so.

Starting point is 00:02:22 We're gonna get Chris back. They did trademark that recently oh whoa you're wearing his clothes you think about this I'm mom we're going to my secret. You're not allowed to follow you must be John Leave a condom us alone Like pretty fun Rejectation I'm gonna interrupt this video just for a tiny bit to tell you that we were so inspired by this movie It's suddenly got our creative juices flowing and now we suddenly have three new

Starting point is 00:03:10 Inspired teas at reject nation shop comm can't wait to share them with you guys the first one up right here being kind is punk Rock might have heard a few of us already talking about that theme of punk rock and being kind is such a big part of the Heart of this movie. I'm so glad that we got Alyssa B. Krazy to design this for us. It is a fantastic representation of the vibes and the fun of this film. And of course, the theme as well. Another one that we got the Krypton sunscreen from the Mind of Aaron Alexander artist, Joanne and Alyssa B.

Starting point is 00:03:39 Krazy combined their efforts here. It is a throwback to that classic sunscreen design, but I feel like it is so emblematic of the type of vibe that Crypto and Superman have in this movie together. And the third one, weirdly personally, my favorite. Hi, my name is Gary. If you guys have seen the movie, you get the reference. And for some reason, it ended up being my favorite one.

Starting point is 00:03:58 I absolutely love it. And I hope you guys love either one of these. If you're able to buy any one of them, it is an amazing way to support the channel, support the artists here as well. We get a lot of weird monetization issues that I've heard many YouTubers probably talk about it, and it is a very real thing.

Starting point is 00:04:12 So it's a great way to offset some of it, and hopefully you guys get something in return that you enjoy rocking, and it's the way you become a righteous reject. So become a righteous reject today by buying any one of these tees. I can't wait to be wearing these throughout the year, and I hope you guys can't wait to be wearing them as well. Thank you so, so, so much. We're gonna go back to the video now. Alright, Peacemaker Season 2 trailers here.

Starting point is 00:04:32 I'm excited for this. I'm excited for this. Thanks to all of them buying our Superman Spider Apparel, by the way. What did you think of the trailer, John? This was really fun. This, I mean, you know, Peacemaker Season 1 was like a lovely surprise. Not that I didn't expect to have a lot of of the trailer, John? This was really fun. I mean, you know, Peacemaker season one was like a lovely surprise. Not that I didn't expect to have fun with it, but I think the level of quality and nuance

Starting point is 00:04:54 along with all the hijinks and stuff certainly struck people. And this looks like a fun build on top of that while also embracing and confronting the idea that we are porting this over from a collapsed universe and now collapsed universe and so you know having both direct stakes leading out of the suicide squad but also having what I'm sure will be some set of circumstances that allows for you know at least Chris peacemaker but also just our little team here kind of trends mute into you know the DC you it looks really fun and madcap and kind of like potentially obviously I don't know but it looks like the kind of thing that was definitely like inspired

Starting point is 00:05:38 by circumstance that by its own circumstance it seems like and is like embracing this opportunity to go a little bit broader you know do Interdimensional travel and stuff like that in a way that certainly seems like it's gonna do something to peacemaker as a character as well as You know patch some holes create some fun and games yada yada yada. Yeah, well, how do you feel? I think it's a really good direction for it to go It's carrying over character themes that I recall from the first season. It's been a couple of years,

Starting point is 00:06:08 but I will rewatch it before going into this, but carrying over some themes of self-acceptance that Chris is clearly having a hard time with. As pointed out in this trailer, I like the idea of a guy who, after doing something heroic and creating some friends, the past just has this way of like, it can't stop haunting you, it can't stop catching up to you.

Starting point is 00:06:32 Now, already haunted by the death of Rick Flagg Jr. Now he's got senior on his ass who wants to bring him down. We saw in the other trailer, as he's trying to become a real hero, he's not getting accepted into the Justice gang. And the idea of like, I want to escape my own reality, you know, how often do people fantasize about that? I know I do. I want to get away from my own reality. And what if there's an alt world where my life was this, but at the end of the day, that's still fake. It's not your real life. It's not your world. It's not your reality. You're still like,

Starting point is 00:07:05 while I believe in the idea that you create your own reality, it still isn't yours. You're not actually content. You're still bringing you wherever you go. And doing this circumstantially is not going to be the thing that allows you to escape. So I like how while this trailer is a lot of fun and there's a lot of crazy like multiverse stuff, I imagine you'll get some cool little Easter eggs through opening those doors and whatever like we saw with the crazy skull shot and everything like that looks cool but you know it makes sense why Chris and Hardcore aren't together right now when he hasn't accepted himself still and he still hasn't forgiven himself for so much and that's why I feel like by the end of the season they'll probably get

Starting point is 00:07:43 together where he realizes he can have an opportunity with her. And they can tell each other they love one another and such. But yeah, that's what I'm feeling with this. I think there's a lot of really cool themes here about, even the parallel of John seeing as learning how to forgive himself, and then Rick Flagg, senior will probably have to learn how to forgive peacemaker. Yeah yeah

Starting point is 00:08:08 absolutely and I mean you know just like the little visual. There's also Robert Patrick comes back too. Yeah. In that multiverse world so yeah it's probably a forgiveness of your dad as well. Yeah. There's a lot of different like I think this season is gonna be about forgiveness, basically. It's a great pull. It's a great, I don't mean, you know... It's in the trailer, right? Well, yeah, but I don't know, like, you know, it's not usually what people are digging for in these situations. And yeah, like an overarching season theme, I could definitely see that forgiveness. And yeah, letting go of the, you know, bargain delusion of, oh, if just this one thing, then my life would be great or I would be happy.

Starting point is 00:08:45 And yeah, I mean, I could only imagine we might meet, you know, a different, maybe more benevolent version of, you know, his father or something like that, see what might have been if he wasn't such a, you know, evil, racist asshole or something like that. And yeah, I mean, you certainly get a couple of at least intimate shots peppered in

Starting point is 00:09:04 to suggest that, yeah, like, Harcourt and Chris might actually, you know, make good on what's between them at some point. And then, yeah, like to see Judo Master back, obviously. Vigilante is really fun. And, you know, Tim Meadow is always a joy, you know, in these kinds of things. So yeah, like, this brings that same promise of like,

Starting point is 00:09:24 oh, this is probably going to be really fun, really funny. The yeah like this brings that same promise of like oh it's probably gonna be really fun really funny the action like all the fights look like they're really kind of going out of their way to make them feel like they hit hard you know. And yeah if again James Gunn has a solid enough track record that this seems like just another instance of you know a full package meal we can get for the DCU. So I'm really excited based off of this. Man me too man. Can't wait. Cannot wait. What'd you guys think about the trailer? Leave your thoughts down below. Leave your theories down below.
