Yeah - that had “Super-villain origin story” written all over it. ---

But we are told there is no S3 (albeit characters will appear in other projects) and not much space to be a supervillain in what time is left … ---

I saw it more that his father in the alt dimension was against the Nazi world. Being a total opposite of Peacemakers real father. Alt Auggie described the Auggie we knew as cruel, and when learning the Nazi’s lost he thought it was a utopian world from which they came. ---

I really enjoyed the first season. For those who have seen it, would you rate season 2 as good, better, or _meh_ compared to season 1? ---

> [@Snarky\_Kong](#): > > I mean, he had 3/4th of a monologue about how he wasn’t a Nazi And not only that, is Peacemaker’s horified realization that, in this world, his father wasn’t a Nazi, unlike his real father, who was unabashedly a Nazi piece of shit. Had he realized that earlier, maybe things would have worked out very differently. ---

You watch that finale and _that’s_ your hot take?! 😀 Personally this seems more like an intro for … another show, the next movie … whatever … than a finale. Slightly annoyed? ---

Thanks for that summary. I was wondering how Chris would get out of that situation. ---

I read last night that Gunn said that in the original script the episode ended with the happy walking out of the building, and the additional scenes were added at the insistence of someone up the food chain at the studio. ---

When Chris got black bagged at the end of the episode, I was thinking it would be his brother working with Flagg. But nope, I guess they’re just going to leave that thread hanging.
