Peacemaker, “It’s Cow or Never”, Review!

The finale of Peacemaker is here!, but we need a Re:cap of last episode.  Emilia has formed the plan; the Cow is in the cavern below the barn, we see Sophie and her butterfly army.  Harcourt continues that they hope to move the Cow with the teleportation devices.  All of the 11st Street Kids are ready, Vigilante adds, “Hashtag me too”, very funny.  The veterinarians are ready to also go in shooting, also funny, they some of the best cameo characters.  They slo mo walk to the Paws A Moment van.  Leota tries to apologize, but Peacemaker doesn’t want to see her after the mission.  

Sophie, Locke, and Fitzgibbon butterflies go to the cavern and see the Cow, it looks like a fleshy cross of the Adipose from Doctor Who, black eyes (many eyes) and one sharp tooth, and the Jagrafess which hangs from a ceiling, with a little of Grimace’s blubbery mouth.  Leota again tries to apologize to Chris, he and Vigilante begin to cut her off with small kid antics, and Peacemaker still feels betrayed.  They have stopped and Leota calls her mother to get back up.  Overlooking the barn, Leota has assembled the Peacemaker helmets and debriefed by Chris on their function, it looks like the Human Torpedo function is untested.  

Leota mentions activate anti-gravity and the helmet floats up.  Next, Peacemaker works to get Eagly to take the helmet to the barn, instead he drops it in the woods.  Economos is teamed up with Vigilante who brings up ants in a pointless conversation.  Leota admits that she saw Eagly hug Peacemaker that was the sign she took to go on the mission.  Peacemaker sees Auggie and takes out his poison dart blowgun and Emilia sees his imaginary conversation.  She finds the helmet.  Emilia has another mission for Peacemaker, he stabs a guard with the poison dart, at night they have the uniform for Economos to take the helmet to the barn.  He is stopped by the Fitzgibbon butterfly and has the bag to get to the barn.  

Emilia advises Economos to take the stairs to take the helmet down.  Then, he sees the Cow being milked.  Economos drops the helmet bag and starts to run.  Fitzgibbon asks him about dying his beard.  Economos admits that he wanted to look younger.  A butterfly has discovered the helmet.  Leota is about to activate the helmet, but drops the walkie talkie.  This complication is not too clever.  Economos has to run with the butterflies behind him.  The possessed Sophie and a gang pile of butterfly humans swarm Economos.  Finally, Leota activates the sonic boom and the barn is leveled.  Sophie sees the destruction and runs with the other human butterflies.  Another sonic boom destroys the butterflies headed towards the barn.  

It starts to have rocks fall on the Cow seen by Locke in the cavern.  The last sonic boom is about to bring the cavern down on the Cow.  Sophie rushes towards it.  Peacemaker has a shield and his guns, he moves with Emilia and Vigilante to kill the Cow!  They begin to shoot and use their weapons on the butterhumanflies to the opening credit song, “Do Ya Wanna Taste It” by Wig Wam.  Peacemaker’s shield is used to deflect bullets, but also has a stabbing edge, look out Captain America!  Vigilante is finally able to use his sword to slice and dice.  Peacemaker chases after Sophie.  Butterfly Fitzgibbons roars at him and Vigilante’s sword cuts into his head.  Peacemaker ends up collapsing the stairs.  


Vigilante is shot in the back and throws a dagger at the humanbutterfly.  Emilia is shot several times, but is able to kill the butterflied humans.  She falls and the song gets distorted.  Leota picks up two guns and goes into action as a butterfly is about to land on Emilia.  The butterfly climbs into her mouth, but is pulled up by Leota and killed.  Economos has wounded his leg trying to leap a fence.  He has dragged himself over and rolls her a Peacemaker helmet.  She wears the Peacemaker helmet and begins tracking Chris to the rubble that trapped him.  He is pulled free by Sophie/Goff, but she knocks him around and holds him up by the throat.  Leota has cleared the debris and activates Human Torpedo… slamming her into a wall!  



Queen/Sophie has Peacemaker follow her, they leave the groaning Leota, and see the Cow zapped by the faulty teleportation devices.  She begins to tell Peacemaker what she said to Judomaster to get him on their side.  The queen explains that the butterflies took a vow, their world had died, and the Cow would help them live another hundred years.  Then, the butterflies realized that humans were on the path to destroy the Earth just like the butterfly world.  They ignore science, in favor of leaders that “fires and floods” are unrelated, loving profit.  Chris flashes back to his own vow.  She thanks Chris for feeding her in the jar. His answer is “Activate Human Torpedo” sending the weary Leota into the belly of the Cow.  He shoots Locke and then Sophie.  Leota falls in a messy splatter from the Cow. 


Peacemaker sees the butterfly emerge from Sophie’s mouth.  Economos is there as well as Vigilante.  Peacemaker carries Emilia and the others limp next to him.  They see the shadowy forms of four heroes.  Peacemaker is angry that they are late and we see two of the Justice League.  At the Mount Rouge medical center, Emilia and Economos are taken away on gurneys.  Vigilante faints.  Later, Leota says that Peacemaker’s decision was for humans to make their own decisions not their “bug overlords.”  Peacemaker says that Leota is his best friend after Eagly.  Leota gives an A.R.G.U.S. briefing saying Peacemaker is innocent and her mother, Amanda Waller, is in charge of the Suicide Squad operation.  Dr. Alandy from the first episode takes Chris to the recovery room of Emilia.  Leota returns home to Keeya.  Economos returns to Belle Reve.  We see Judomaster cry at the devastation and then eat a Cheeto.  There is an end credit scene which is a final joke.  


Four Peacemaker Helmets out of Five!
