Haeims Gun, a chaotic series of HBO Max superhero series, "Peacekeeper" is completely original despite being based (loosely) of the image of DC Comics, created in the 1960s, but there is another of the writers and previous works of the director from which it is noted to make it (and not just "). In an interview Gun did with actor and friend Rhein Wilson for Interview magazineGun said the "peacemaker" is a spiritual sequel to his 2010 Subversive superhero flop, "Super".

Wilson, who starred as a lonely and broken Vanabe's hearty superhero, Frank Darbo in Super, was not fully sold for Gun's comparison between the two, but there are several thematic and tone similarities between them, even if they work in wildly different universes. While Darbo may have never powers, and even scientific-technological technology as his amateur superhero alter-ego, Circon Bolt, he still has a terrible very common with the peacemaker and his alter-Ego, Christopher Smith (Johnon Senna). Sure, Smith has high-tech helmets created by his late Super-scientist neo-Nazi father, white dragon (Robert Patrick), but he also has the same crippling loneliness as Darbo, and both are lost men with some pretty violent ideas on what justice looks like.

Gun told Wilson that the "peacemaker" is "Super" spiritual successor and explained it like this:

"" Peaceuar "is for Christopher Smith, a man wearing a suit. But it's really about the boy under the suit. His reasons for putting that suit are different, but they are not all good and many have to do with who his father is. But in the same way in "great", it's a very story about Frank Darbo and it's about a man who puts him about what's about the tone. And comedy, but has a grounded, full character in the center of it.

In "Super", Darbo is trying to become a vigilant fighter for crimes Who hits people with a hammer and shouts "shut up, crime!" To his enemies after the wife of a recovery of recovery, Sarah (Liv Tyler), leaves him for her charismatic dealer, Quesak (Kevin Bacon). He teamed up with the local Libi Comic box (Eliot Page) and both try to clear the crime and go after the quesa, though they are on their heads. As a "peacemaker", "super" varies among being brutally violent, dark funny and totally stunning. "Super" has a deep bitter completion that can even make the strengthened members of the audience cry, with Frank's loneliness in his center. In The Phenomenal Second Season of the "Peacemaker", We must see that Chris is struggling with his loneliness even more than in the first season, and that of course echoes Frank's hollow existence. Gun and his work have matured since "great", however, and it seems that the "peacemaker" will potentially have a more promising outcome for his broken hero.

Both the "peacemaker" and "super" balance the bizarre with totally serious and warm, and their protagonists start their stories as total sad bags. The biggest difference between them is that Chris Smith has 11th street children, his group of friends' friends, while Frank really has only Libby. Gun has Come to be known for stories of found familiesAnd while Chris seems to have found his own, Frank's existence is much more sad, lonely. In fact, Wilson even pointed out to Gun that Chris has "several" sociopathic sides, and he is right. Libby Feels like an early version of the similarly socially inept vigilante (Freddie Stroma), but Chris also has love interest and rage beast emilia harcourt (Jennifer Holland), GoodoFball Badass-in-TRAINING LEOBAYO. (Danielle Brooks), Fellow Sad Sack John Economos (Steve Agee), and Eagly, his Freaking Pet Bald Eagle!

Although "great" is much stronger around the edges of the "peacemaker", even according to Gun's own reception, it is still fascinating to see how the idea of ​​a broken, lonely vigil develops over time. Frank is less aggressive, externally toxic than Chris, but they have some really terrible traits that make them unusual protagonists to follow. Somehow, Gun found a way to make the audience sympathize with these deeply damaged men And hope for their rehabilitation and honestly, that rule.
