Peacemaker: No, Vigilante Didn't Swap Earths; "I Think I'd Know": Gunn

Despite him having said otherwise, some Peacemaker fans still believe the two Vigilantes swapped Earths. So, James Gunn addressed it again...

Over the weekend, writer/director James Gunn held a watch party on Threads for the penultimate episode of DC Studios and Gunn's Peacemaker. During his run, Gunn was asked to clarify which Vigilante (Freddie Stroma) had actually killed Earth-X Auggie (Robert Patrick) and the address the theory that the Earth-1 and Earth-X Vigilantes switched universes near the end of the episode. Regarding Auggie, Gunn wrote that it was Earth-1 Vigilante (Freddie Stroma) who did the deadly deed. As for the idea that Earth-1 and Earth-X swapped Vigilantes, Gunn shut that down by reaffirming that the Vigilantes returned to their respective universes: "No silly switcheroos here."

On social media, Gunn has a track record where we can pretty much tell when he's being straightforward as opposed to when he's playing coy or looking to drop a tease. In this case, nothing in Gunn's response vibed anything other than direct and to the point. And yet. "Why did our vig yell about the sons then? bullet skim on the arm same skim that went through our door, vig didnt even flinch when chris gave himself up its all kinda sus to me lol," wrote one person in response to Gunn's response (it can get confusing).

"1. He didn't. I'm guessing you're just confused from two Vig's in the same room. 2. I don't understand your bullet skim point. 3. You literally see Ads having to stop our Vig from firing on the Argus agents at the end of the episode. 4. What would the reasoning be? Vig 2 would have no reason to leave his life and commitments and Vig 1 wouldn't want to be away from his friends. 5. I think I'd know," Gunn wrote in response, addressing each of the points in play (though #5 is probably the best).

Over the course of the past two Peacemaker Season 2 watch parties on Threads, Gunn has had some interesting teases to drop about what's ahead- and about how we have no idea what's coming. Here's a look:

Gunn's Big Plug for S02E08: "Full Nelson" – "Next week: "When has anything we've ever done actually been for the good of the people?" I can't wait for you to see it. I promise it is nothing like anything anyone expects or has guessed!"

Will "Peacemaker" Season 2 Finale Tease The DCU's Future? "More than tease!"

Will "Peacemaker" Season 2 Finale Have a Lot of Cameos? "It's not about the cameos. It's about the story and the twists and the emotion and fun. Cameos are only fun if they're a part of the story."

Just When You Thought You Knew Your Favorite Characters…: "If you guys think you have these characters all figured out and put into a nice little hole, next week's episode might show you that's not the case."

Expect a Set Even Better Than the QUC: "The QUC was really great. But the best set is in Episode 8!!"

Will We Be Seeing More of the QUC in the DCU's Future: "Welll you might be in luck!!"
