Safe to say, 'Peacemaker' Episode which also happens to be the finale of the critically-acclaimed DCEU series was a humdinger. While the Justice League cameo, in the end, left fans with mixed feelings, it appeared the overall consensus was "this is a lit series". The finale sees the remaining members of the team take on the butterflies and kill the cow in a bid to stop the butterfly alien invasion. The move ends as a success although it does see some fan favorites put through the wringer.

"Thanks @JamesGunn for an awesome #Peacemaker season finale! Can’t wait to get more of this on season 2. Wonder what the intro will be though. Hard to top this season’s," a fan opined. This was seconded by another who wrote, "@JamesGunn that’s what I call a truly epic season finale! Bring it on #Peacemaker season 2!!!"

" finished watching the season finale of #Peacemaker and yeah best DC tv show ever!!! @JamesGunn @JohnCena @steveagee @freddiestroma @jennlholland @thedanieb and the rest of the cast… Thank you 🙏🏼 ❤️ for this amazing show it means a lot and I can’t wait for season 2," a tweet read. "it's been almost four hours since the season finale of #peacemaker i'm still processing the roller coaster of emotions! was worth staying up every damn night and yes, i never skipped the intro.. not once! big congrats to @JamesGunn & team ✌ #PeacemakerFinale," one of the fans commented.

"Peacemaker season finale very satisfying with tons of action and heart! and setting up for a confirmed season 2 and Surprising hilarious cameos! #PeacemakerFinale #Peacemaker," one of the fans tweeted. "Peacemaker’s opening credits rubbed me the wrong way at first, but they’re not just cute but thematically consistent with the rest of the show (easy there, Foucault). Anyway, they come full circle in the season finale, which, like the show, was excellent," a tweet read.

"#Peacemaker Incredible show with an incredible season finale! Love all the characters, jokes and pace of storytelling So thrilled to hear that there will be a second season Though with James Gunn working on Guardians of the Galaxy, this season two might gonna be a long wait," one of the fans remarked.
