@ReelRejects - Yeah... 30 seconds in the reaction, and you´ve already missed TONS of CRUCIALLY IMPORTANT dialogue. 2 mins later: "What exactly is their mission?" "I don´t know... Hahahahah" If there´s a practical example for being bad at reacting, this is it 😅😅
That news got me even MORE hyped for the DCU. I was already keen, but for some reason having Coy just elevated that for me. It feels like DC are really respecting the comics and source materials
@geordiemc4571 it begins with this show. But yes you could say that because those are cannon. It's not messy, James gunns works are cannon to his universe
Wow I just finished watching the first episode already and it being a follow-up to The Suicide Squad (2021) and then Peacemaker season 1 (2022) it's all coming together so nicely. Waller and Flag Sr., with Waller mentioning about his son you see Rick Sr., mood change as that pain of losing a child is hard to accept. The Zac Efron background on the phone when the old woman calls Frankenstein is just hilarious.
The first episode was good, but I loved episode 2! Yeah, it's basically a sequel to TSS and Peacemaker. I'm loving the character of the Bride. So far a really fun kick off to the DCU
Glad to see Coy still here doing DC reactions. As a cohost of the DC Studios podcast, I would've thought he would get to watch their stuff early so he could be prepared to talk about it on the podcast.
These episode were so wild out of everyone I think the standout has to be the bride she was holding her own with a Amazonion and that Rick flag vs Phosphorus was so sick
The kind of Batman villain origin story I love. The best Bats villains are people who went through tragedy, but unlike Bruce who managed to move past his “one bad day” (I mean… sorta), his villains are victims of tragedy that were broken by it
First i ever heard about this show. Im a huge fan of the universal monster movies. After watching your video im really excited for more episodes. Thanks dudes!
I love how Coy’s fiancé is off to the side, all quiet but on a rare occasion, she’ll chime in without anybody realizing she’s there and then you go oh she’s right in the room watching U2 goofballs. 😀👍
So far I can say this is a good start for James Gunn’s DCU. I just watched the first two episodes a couple hours ago on break and when I clock out, I’ll watch it again on a bigger screen at home.
Genuine, non aggressive question: Does Coy being a co-host of the official DC Podcast now affect his ability to be critical and/or negative on DC content moving forward? Kinda concerned he won’t be able or *willing* to be down on a show or movie because of his work opportunity. Super happy for him, but worried he’s gonna (even subconsciously) be inclined to be positive and amp up reactions. Again, really not wanting to be combative, just wonder how this is actually gonna work
Coy’s official title is “Comic Book Correspondent of the DC Studios Podcast on MAX” which seems to lean more into his experience as a comic reader to provide comic reviews and reading recommendations for DC Studios content as he has already been doing on his own TH-cam channel. I would think that they would understand that Coy’s popularity includes his reaction videos and reviews of TV and movies (in addition to comics) and would not deprive him or his fans of his ability to offer his opinion of things outside of comics. And as the other commenter mentioned, Coy is one of the best at being honest but trying to stay positive and offer constructive criticism and feedback without resorting to hate filled clickbait. It’s why we respect Coy so much.
They said in The Flash that when Barry messes with time some events can cross over and also occur in other timelines, allowing James Gunn to pick and choose what he wants to carry over from the DCEU with it still making sense.
Gunn revealed he was writing this before he got the DC studios head role so I think this is first just because it was finished first. Explains all the references to the DCEU too
This was not designed to be the first new Gunn DCU thing because he was not running DC yet when he wrote it. They asked him if he wanted to do something to do after Peacemaker and he picked Creature Commandos to write as a fun little project and finished the script quickly. Then he was put on charge of DC creative and the only thing being produced that was not leftover DCEU was CC so when he announced the slate CC was the first Gunn-o-verse thing. Then people took it as if CC had been created to introduce the new universe which seemed odd. CC is canon, along with Peacemaker and The suicide squad, but if Gunn was not already working for DC and was hired out of the blue to create a new DC cosmos the Superman movie would have been the launch
I have a feeling this property will only catch on once the DCU actually gets bigger with its more popular properties, and those start building connections to this.
I think Gunn said in an interview that anything mentioned in the dcu about past movies is cannon. So I guess it’s like a parallel universe where some things are the same but not everything.
@@venemous_one incorrect. Blue Beetle is also canon since he’s confirmed to be a DCU character since his film had no heavy connections to the past DCEU and it was not made by Gunn. A little research goes a long way.
I appreciate the hype and I’m on their side, but I share in Greg’s sentiment, and I want more of something I haven’t seen before. It’s very Gunn, which equates to very fun.
james gunn said the only thing not canon from season 1 of peacemaker is the justice league cameo which means the suicide squad kinda has to be canon as well as it sets up peacemaker
A NEW AMAZING ERA HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN BOYS, I STAYED UP TILL 3 TO WATCH THE EPISODES AS SOON AS THEY RELEASED AND IM HUNGRY FOR MORE, LIKE ANOTHER COMMENTER SAID, HIS NAME IS GUNN BECAUSE HE. DONT. MISS
It's so bizarre that this is a reboot of SOME of the DC universe, but not all of it. Some of these people live in a world that got invaded by Kryptonians looking for Superman, some of them exist in a world that doesn't have a Superman yet, most of them don't know if they know what a Superman is or not. But all these people also live in the same world as each other. Did I get that right?
So excited for the rest of the DCU! Not only is “The Suicide Squad” killing Rick Flag Jr. canon, so is the plotline of Waller’s corruption being outed by her daughter in “Peacemaker” S1! P.S. What is going on?! Jamie Kennedy was name dropped 3x in one episode on “Superman and Lois” recently 🤣
While i think this is the first dcu project, i am always going to consider The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker S1 as mostly canon and a lose beginning to this universe. In fact, if you ignore the JL cameo in Peacmaker, everything in those two projects seemed like a new universe anyway.
Except specific characters aren't canon unless shown or mentioned. Like we don't actually know who all was on that mission yet in Corto Maltese, like Harley might not be canon in the DCU yet.
@@Mirakulus9 yeah i get that, which is why i said a lose beginning. my main point was that except the JL cameo (since we are obviously going to have a new flash and aquaman), almost everthing in those two projects could be looked at as a new universe. In fact The Suicide Squad was almost a complete reboot.
@@Mirakulus9 and ik Gunn said that things become canon once they are mentioned. he also said everything in Peacemaker S1 is canon except the JL cameo and they will address that in S2, so my thoughts are that that's the only thing they are going to focus on decanonising. tbh would have been much easier to just cut that scene and reupload on hbo max and have both those projects as declared canon lol
@@megaknight9928 My thought is they'll do a season 1 recap in season 2 and replace the JL in that scene. But no, they're not going to alter the episode itself. That and especially TSS are still a different continuity (dceu) and this is a new continuity (DCU) where some things just happened to have played out the same.

Is there someone else in the room? I keep hearing a supposedly female voice making comments in this reaction I'm not used to hearing 😂
Congrats To Coy for being one of the official hosts (comic book correspondent) for DC Studios Podcast on MAX!!
That's awesome!!
That news got me even MORE hyped for the DCU. I was already keen, but for some reason having Coy just elevated that for me. It feels like DC are really respecting the comics and source materials
The fish chick is basically Abraham Sapien, from Hellboy, lmao! She’s DC’s version of that, minus the wet suit he always wears. 😂😂
It wasnt actually Gunns idea to put himself in the intro it was actually put in originally without his knowledge
Is it out yet? How are they watching this
@eminem2088 It's on MAX in the US
For us non US, it’s already out now as well…
@@official.ajclaveria UK?
@ Which streaming service for non US?
The DCU has officially begun
You mean the DCU has officially beGUNN 😏
But jokes aside I can't wait, Gunn doesn't miss 🔥🔥🔥
@Silk_Shock ^^
Didn’t it actually begin with suicide squad and peacemaker? Bit of a messy universe
Be-gunn*
@geordiemc4571 it begins with this show. But yes you could say that because those are cannon. It's not messy, James gunns works are cannon to his universe
They call him GUNN because he doesn't miss🔥
Fire comment
Sad harmonica whomp-whomp.
But you're right.
I love that !!!!!
LETS GOOOOO
The Snyder cultists are about to be dissatisfied with what good writing looks like.
The sons of Themyscira is a deep cut damn
What comic do they appear? I’m about to read some Wonder Woman!
@@lexofpower2822quick Google, Wonder Woman vol 4. #7. Instead of incels they’re literal son’s of themyscerian women who were abandoned
these first two episodes felt longer than 20 minutes to me. they were pretty good, very entertaining
Felt the same for me too
I saw the episode length and I went “oh for fucks sake!” but yeah they didn’t feel rushed at all
Wow I just finished watching the first episode already and it being a follow-up to The Suicide Squad (2021) and then Peacemaker season 1 (2022) it's all coming together so nicely.

maria bakalova voices the princess. she also voiced cosmo in guardians 3
And GOTG: Holiday Special.
i was hearing ana de armas and others mentioned hearing pom klementieff. 😄
The first episode was good, but I loved episode 2! Yeah, it's basically a sequel to TSS and Peacemaker. I'm loving the character of the Bride. So far a really fun kick off to the DCU
Glad to see Coy still here doing DC reactions. As a cohost of the DC Studios podcast, I would've thought he would get to watch their stuff early so he could be prepared to talk about it on the podcast.
They do, media got the episodes early I'm pretty sure so they both can react at the same time
That is how they got the show up so fast. They watch it early and tape their reactions, then release it when the show drops for everyone else.
These episode were so wild out of everyone I think the standout has to be the bride she was holding her own with a Amazonion and that Rick flag vs Phosphorus was so sick
Love the fight scene in different time period with the bride and franskastein
Episode 1 is incredible but Episode 2 it's fucking stellar
LET'S GO!!!
I agree. Episode 2 was mind-blowing, and that kind of caught me off guard after the first episode. I can't wait for the rest of the season
@@maysonstorm4956mind blowing is a bit much but it is very good
@@Henkiespenk I'm sorry, my guy, but You can't regulate how I feel about my experience with the show
@@maysonstorm4956 in what way was it mind blowing?
@@maysonstorm4956 bruh "mind-blowing" us just glazing the hell out this show. It was just good.
Love Rick flag getting it on with the princess while the others are just hearing and stalling
U menace don’t blame u tho 😭
She’s kinda bad af
Nahhhh, I’d risk it all for The Bride.
She's a minor, yeah?
Let the DCU begin! Hopefully many watch this series and we all get hyped leading into Superman!!
This show getting you pumped for Superman?!
Thank you guys for sharing this joy with us, let the DCU begin
Yes Yes Yes
YASSS! Gunn knows wtf he's doing 😤🙏🏾💜
Heck to the yeah... I mean we gotta wait 7 months for it but still yeah!
For Superman? No.
Those episodes were FUCKING AMAZING! What an introduction!!!
The kind of Batman villain origin story I love. The best Bats villains are people who went through tragedy, but unlike Bruce who managed to move past his “one bad day” (I mean… sorta), his villains are victims of tragedy that were broken by it
9:15 I like the DCU too Greg😂😂
First i ever heard about this show. Im a huge fan of the universal monster movies. After watching your video im really excited for more episodes. Thanks dudes!
These first two episodes was bussin! Keep these level of writing in this show with the live actions and we'll be golden. Godspeed Gunn.
The Princess is Cosmo from Guardians of the Galaxy.
I love how Coy’s fiancé is off to the side, all quiet but on a rare occasion, she’ll chime in without anybody realizing she’s there and then you go oh she’s right in the room watching U2 goofballs. 😀👍
DC is so back
This has a similar animation style to Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated. I love that show.
I mean yeah, but it also has some Captain Laserhawk.
Pay close attention to The Bride at the supper when the Queen is mumbling.
She slings the local lingo.....
Love the first 2 episodes can’t wait for next week
I’m so down bad for the bride, Nina, and the princess😭🙏
Pick a lane! I choose polyamorous threesome, bagsies! 🤣
You know what, good for you.
The Bride is more like a lady crush for me. And Nina looks like genderbend Abe Sapien
All the Knights and Princess's accent just make me thing of the "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire" song meme that floated around a week ago.
David Harbour is 3 for 3 on projects with Alexei’s in it
Technically 4 for 4 since there’s What if season 3 which he will be in this December
@ damn why does he like my name so much
I thought the queen was Felix Faust at first glance lol
Excited to watch y’all react!
The GolGol Bordello cameo was great.
Pumped for the DCU to finally start! 🙌🏻🔥
12:00 who's the disembodied voice? lol i got confused and thought it was coming from the show
I'm wondering this too lol
Man they did go all out
Yeasssssssssssssss
So far I can say this is a good start for James Gunn’s DCU. I just watched the first two episodes a couple hours ago on break and when I clock out, I’ll watch it again on a bigger screen at home.
lil surprise after the credits😉

Are youtube reactors ever that critical while recording reactions like these? 😂
He's never really that negative anyway lol

I did worry a little about that but i have faith in Coy.
Its dope so far, im so happy its off to an banging start. i have a good feeling about the dcu.
Gogol Bordello is the soundtrack for this country.
I'm in!
The princess is me if I was alone in a room with frank grillo
I love that Gogol Bordello is in this show. The music that plays during these episodes.
I had so much fun watching the first episode of Creature commandos
The princess is voiced by Maria Bakalova who voiced Cosmo
They said in The Flash that when Barry messes with time some events can cross over and also occur in other timelines, allowing James Gunn to pick and choose what he wants to carry over from the DCEU with it still making sense.
Hopefully a new Flash in the process too and not Ezra Miller
Absolute BANGER to start the DCU. Lets GO.
Gunn revealed he was writing this before he got the DC studios head role so I think this is first just because it was finished first. Explains all the references to the DCEU too
James Gunn has said that they kicked off with this because it was finished. He’s not arbitrarily keeping it in a vault which I can appreciate.
This was not designed to be the first new Gunn DCU thing because he was not running DC yet when he wrote it. They asked him if he wanted to do something to do after Peacemaker and he picked Creature Commandos to write as a fun little project and finished the script quickly.

I love the 2 episodes so far. Cant wait for all the others
Gunn been cooking 🧑🍳 🔥
So James Gunn is playing Grant Morrison?
That has to be the cheekiest Suicide Squad reference to date.
Are you guys planning on finishing Superman and Lois? Its truly an excellent show and end, I really think youll love it especially Coy
I have a feeling this property will only catch on once the DCU actually gets bigger with its more popular properties, and those start building connections to this.
I'm glad gunn kept viola Davis as waller. I feel like she was one of the few good things from the dcau
I saw a clip where James Gunn said basically everything from Peacemaker is still canon except for the Justice League showing up at the end lol
Phosphorus is already my favorite 🤣
I think Gunn said in an interview that anything mentioned in the dcu about past movies is cannon. So I guess it’s like a parallel universe where some things are the same but not everything.
Really, what he meant but didn't say is that all HIS material is canon.. but anything else is not.
@@venemous_one incorrect. Blue Beetle is also canon since he’s confirmed to be a DCU character since his film had no heavy connections to the past DCEU and it was not made by Gunn. A little research goes a long way.
@Megaproductions302 the actor/ character.. yeah.. but the story.. the events of the movie..? We'll see
6:47 the resurgence of jaime kennedy, due to the DC, is insane lol
Man, I didn't realize there's a third person in the room, currently stoned and thought I was hearing things lol
Once again James Gunn has me hooked. So interested in all the characters already man I’m so fucking hyped for this season and Superman
After the first two episodes, this is a strangely horny show lol
Gunn is a pervert.
Had a lot of fun with this first episode
In James Gunn we trust 🙏🏾 Fabulous start to the new DCU
The Detective Cinematic Universe has begun
The DCU is here. Finally
I appreciate the hype and I’m on their side, but I share in Greg’s sentiment, and I want more of something I haven’t seen before. It’s very Gunn, which equates to very fun.
9:58 He is trying to get to sleep. But instead of counting sheep. Well you know.
I’m so glad the accents haven’t left ❤️
Didn’t expect to like this show , now I love it
james gunn said the only thing not canon from season 1 of peacemaker is the justice league cameo which means the suicide squad kinda has to be canon as well as it sets up peacemaker
Only specific events or characters mentioned or shown from The Suicide Squad are canon, not the whole movie
A NEW AMAZING ERA HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN BOYS, I STAYED UP TILL 3 TO WATCH THE EPISODES AS SOON AS THEY RELEASED AND IM HUNGRY FOR MORE, LIKE ANOTHER COMMENTER SAID, HIS NAME IS GUNN BECAUSE HE. DONT. MISS
I think every needle drop in these first two episodes were Gogol Bordello songs.
The Invisibles were a Vertigo comic. Great Grant Morrison story.
I literally didn't know that this series was popping up on the MAX app this week.
I hope Flag Sr. learns that it was Waller who pretty much had his son killed.
You guys need to do reactions to Superman and Lois as Jamie Kennedy is canon in one of the last episodes of season 4
11:26 I agree Coy. It makes me feel each hit like Invincible did.
It's so bizarre that this is a reboot of SOME of the DC universe, but not all of it. Some of these people live in a world that got invaded by Kryptonians looking for Superman, some of them exist in a world that doesn't have a Superman yet, most of them don't know if they know what a Superman is or not.

getting Doom Patrol vibes which I loved 😍

The princess is the same actresses that voiced Cosmo in GotG?
It begins!!!

9:17 of course you do 😂😂😂
8:22 it’s not it’s the voice actor of Cosmo in Guardians of te galaxy vol 3
The soundtrack to this show Is fuckin 🔥
James Gunn equals the modern Stephen J Cannell. I hope that's the easter egg
I love Gogol Bordello's music
new 53 begins.
Does Rick flag sr know that Waller had Peacemaker kill his son?
Not yet I don't think
@@BusterBarnesthat sounds like Waller not telling the whole truth as a way to keep them in line. Theirs a reason why she is considered a villain
Thank you, Greg, for praising The Suicide Squad.
Yes, that's what I said.This should have been released in october.
I'm definitely enjoying this show.
since it’s canon I feel like it’s safe to say The Suicide Squad (2021) is the start of the new DCU
