Continuity in a series of narrative can be a two -edged sword. On the one hand, there is no more rewarding feeling to watch a movie or TV series and watch a character or plot that is called (or, even better, paid) than several films or seasons before. Confirmation is that the directors take care of enough for the careful series, and that is a validation for the fan who feels like their time watching valuable over the years is well wasted. On the other hand, a series of narrow continuity can feel frightening, even alienating, for audiences that are no longer caused or in knowledge. And from the recording of the equation, To adhere to the increasingly long list of plot points, characters and other rules can be a creative restriction.
This is why the comic-in media that feature probably the longest narratives of any media outlets with the concept of "jumping points". Yes, a comic strip continuity in the Big Two publishers' superhero titles have undergone a restart throughout the company. For DC Comics, these shifts have arrived in the form of several stories of a crossover "Infinite Earth Crisis", which use some cataclysmic events to reform and reset the universe that goes forward. For Marvel's comics, there were several "secret wars" events that work in a similar way. Marvel's Chinese universe, under Kevin's leading hand, told their stories on the screen in a way that closely resembles the continuity of comics, and now they seem to face their own impending crisis, As "Avengers: The Secret Wars" should be released in 2027, and it is rumored to be the film that resets MCC.
Although the Jameseshes Gun and Peter Safran's DC Studios is new, their first doubles projects have shown interest in moving away from trying to maintain a narrow leash of the universe's continuity. The latest example of this appears in the second season premiere of the "Peacemaker". Where most TV emissions returning to a new season have a "previously" segment that attracts new and old viewers to acceleration, this premiere characterizes what can be TV first: one moment of the first season that is almost completely prescribed. It is a proficient, daring choice by Gun, and more, it works extremely well.
Get out of the justice league, enter the justice gang
Towards the end of the eighth and last episode of The first season of the "Peacemaker" Titled "It's a Cow or Never", Christopher Smith Aca Peacork (Johnon Senna) took its secret opinion team known as the Task Force X to attack the Coverdale Ranch, which the attacking foreign species known as the butterflies made it in the seat. In the process of stopping the butterfly invasion, each member of the group ended up injured or wounded, with Emilia Harcurt (Ennenifer Holland) the worst. Because the peacekeeper brings Harcurt to security at the end of the conflict, the justice league arrives, not just every justice league, but the one of the films of the same name in the expanded universe in DC. In addition to the shaded figures of Superman and a miracle of a woman, we see Aquanus (Asoneyson Momoa) and Flash (Ezra Miller) as a peacemaker angrily tells the league that they have arrived too late.
However, in the version of this moment shown during the prove of season 1 before the premiere of Season 2, the League of Justice is nowhere. Instead, superheroes arrive to the Coverdale ranch too late are The justice gang, as founded in Gun Superman last July. Instead of the aquaman and the flash that shares a bit of banter, it's a green lantern/Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion) and Hookgigg/Kendra Saunders (Isabella Merced). Although there are several other changes that are observed in the report, this is that it is firmly transplanting the "peacemaker" from DCU to DCU. Therefore, the series continues in the way the report promises, as if the show always took place in the CCE. For example, one of the first scenes sees Chris on audition to join the justice gang, and Gardner and Saunders are there with their virtue, Maxwell Lord (John Gun). Frank Grillo depicts Rick Flay as Argus Director, as he does in Superman and The animated "creatures for creatures". There is no need for an intrusion that changes in reality, surveillance, travel plot or other type of Shennigan or DOOKIKI to make this massive switch between the universes. Instead, Gun just goes forward and does it, which feels like a breath of fresh air.
Gun's approach to unified narrative for DCC is blessed low
During the lead to The announcement of "Superman" and the beginning of the PCC appropriatelyThere have been numerous pieces that speculate on what and who is the canon, how can certain characters from DCE moved to the DCU and so on. There was also some speculations on how Superman himself could cope with the introduction of a new mud-El/Clark Kent (David Corenvet), along with the new cast of heroes and villain support. As it turned out, Gun took a page of many comics "jumping on", which is before, and that is to provide several parts of the background through some cards to open titles, and then jump directly into the story. "Superman" is aggressive is not a story of origin, as its opening titles predict that Superman is an active hero in the last three years, and thus every main character in the film has either met or has already been related to each other. In fact, the film feels like a step away from Gun's team films as "Gardaxi's Guardians" and "Suicide Suicide", and even the first season of the "Peacekeeper". While those films felt effectively like stories of origin, thanks to a bunch of characters who meet each other and come together for the first time, Superman moves away from the pronunciation.
It is a short story telling stories that feels true to comics as attempts on heavy hands on the Recons do, but unlike the latter, the former approach is uniquely fresh to the big and small screens. Instead of feeling forced to do and the "Starwar Trail" or "X-men: Days of Future Past""Superman" and "peacemaker" quickly and more sideways, tell the return and new viewers the most important things of what they need to know and continue from there. This approach seems to be directly opposed to where MCC found, with that franchise stuck in place of attempt to maintain the continuity and tone of 20+ feature films and several TV series consistent. The result was Films like "Captain America: A Brave New World", which ended up with such hamstring of continuity that not only did it not work as a payment to the "Falcon and the Winter Soldier" and "Incredible Hulk", it did not work on its own.
As the 2 "peacekeeper" season continues, it remains to be seen whether Gun will resolve all the issues that his convincing Retcon brings. Are all DCU characters present in DCU, or just a selected group? Which characters do the same actors play, if any? And, what about the seasonal narrative for the peacekeeper reveals another dimension - is that an orderly way to make a comment on the situation with DCU/DCE, or something more? Whatever happens, it feels like we are in safe, solid hands with the approach of Gun to the continuity of the universe, simply because it indicates that we should not be too worried about it.
