I floated the idea with another guy who watched it and he was just confused, he never noticed that there weren't any minorities. I almost convinced myself that the idea was bad because "Well they could just have cast a ton of white people" but then I thought that they would still have had one of the major poc characters appear.

In one of the episodes there are poc in the "terrorist" group that Peacemaker straight up slaughters.

I pointed it out to my partner and she just said "Oh, well, these things are usually pretty fucking white, I didn't think twice about it"

Which is absolutely true

I was really worried this was just gonna be a season of Chris being cringe as he tries to fit into other Chris's shoes, but as soon as they did the face melting at the beginning of the latest ep I realized why his dad was a hero. This is much more preferable.

Lol basically. I was so focused on the Chris/Harcourt romance that I just kinda figured our Chris came from the bad universe. I mean, Sons of Liberty sounds like some libertarian fash shit.

I had my suspicions from the very start because a universe where the White Dragon is a respected hero had to have something wrong with it

Especially since they revealed that they stole the pocket universe tech instead of actually developing it themselves

Which is something that I suspected, because why would some Nazi fuck who made his kids fight for money probably wasn't bright enough to do super-science

I questioned it in the beginning when Keith was alive, like are they both racist then? But when it wasnt addressed immediately I kept waiting for the shoe to drop of Chris not living up to the expectations of a beloved "Captain America" type Peacemaker. I kinda just forgot about it until the faces melted.
