WARNING: The following article contains spoilers for Peacemaker, Season 1, Episode 8, “It’s Cow or Never,” available now on HBO Max.
Season 1 of Peacemaker came to a glorious end as John Cena’s Chris dug deep to find a way to stop the Butterflies from teleporting their food source away from the Coverdale Farm. The battle wasn’t easy, though, as it left his ARGUS teammates alive but damaged.
It led to peace and closure for some, however, with Adebayo exposing Amanda Waller’s Task Force X and then going home to her family. They hoped change would come thereafter, but there were some questions left unanswered when this mission ended.
What Will The Goff Butterfly Do Now?
Chris killed Goff’s colleagues and shot the Song vessel before he and Adebayo killed the cow meant to feed them. He left the Goff butterfly alive, though, with the final scene showing it chilling with him and Eagly. Chris didn’t buy into Goff’s mission of killing evil people to bring peace to the world, so fans were curious why they remained friends. It left fans wondering if Chris had enough nectar for Goff, if it’d seek a new human form, if other Butterfly cells existed and if they’d forgive Chris as Goff did.
What’s The New Direction For ARGUS?
Adebayo exposed Waller using and killing prisoners with bombs in their heads in the Suicide Squad. However, the series didn’t show if Waller was arrested or if the offices were shut down. It’d have been nice to gauge this to see if maybe Adebayo would take over from her mom to rehabilitate the project or if a recovering Harcourt would be interested once she could walk again after her brilliant heroics.
Where Were The Other Justice League Heroes?
When Peacemaker’s team left the farm, he cursed out the Justice League for being late. Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash and Aquaman arrived, but it wasn’t revealed why Batman and Cyborg were missing. Writer/director James Gunn did suggest there was a reason for this, leaving fans wondering if they were on another mission.
Are The Justice League Heroes Sexual Deviants?
Peacemaker was adamant Aquaman paid off aquariums to go backstage and have his way with marine life. Flash playfully said it wasn’t a rumor but from Aquaman’s reactions, theorists are wondering if it’s true. In addition, Economos said he could confirm Green Arrow had a “brony” fetish, which had folks online what other kinks the League were into in their downtime.
Does Harcourt Really Love Peacemaker?
Harcourt held Chris’ hand after he stayed in the hospital for days but it could be she just needed a friend. After all, both had turbulent family pasts and if anything, this show was about true love in terms of friendship. Maybe she and Chris transcended the need to hook up, and were meant to just look out for each other as colleagues. It was left deliberately vague, setting up an intriguing bond in the upcoming second season.
Can Peacemaker Be Cured?
Chris was haunted by Rick Flag’s death because it reminded him how he accidentally killed his brother, Keith, when they were kids. He was simply following Auggie’s orders in a fight club, but while he got over Rick, Chris ended the episode hallucinating his dad. The White Dragon was racist and abusive, so he deserved to die, but the worried look on Chris’ face suggests he might never get over the trauma of killing close people in his life.
Will Economos Find True Love?
The season ended with Economos working a desk job at Belle Reve while nursing a broken foot. He put up a team photo to remember the good times in the field, but it left fans curious if he’ll find true love. He admitted he was sad, lonely and depressed, ergo why he dyed his beard, so it seemed like this was the perfect opportunity to have him join a dating app. Economos taking a second crack at love does set up another Season 2 arc, especially with Vigilante sure to chime in.
What’s Judomaster’s New Plan?
Judomaster wasn’t a Butterfly but their vision for peace aligned with his, ergo why he showed up at the farm crying over the aliens’ deaths. There wasn’t any tease regarding his future plans, though, leaving it up in the air if he’ll seek out more Butterflies for revenge against Chris’ team, join Chris and Goff, or find other costumed individuals to take ARGUS down.
All eight episodes of Peacemaker Season 1 are streaming now on HBO Max.
