* Using Adrian Chase as Vigilante means we will never see an adaptation of the CultClassic 80s series, since Adrian underwent heavy AdaptationalComicRelief that removed all his pathos and grit. Many claim it would have been better if they've used Donald Fairchild, or even Adrian's brother Dorian.

*** Similarly, when people talk about Peacemaker being a racist, misogynistic sociopath, is it just bad publicity, or does it reflect Chris' character from before the events of ''The Suicide Squad''?

Given how much he looks up to his father, who is essentially a neo-nazi, was he simply parroting what his father taught him?

** If that wasn't enough, the final moments of the finale has an even ''bigger'' one with [[spoiler:most of the Justice League (aside from Cyborg and Batman) appearing -- albeit moments too late to actually help. While Superman and Wonder Woman are framed in shadow, Creator/JasonMomoa and Creator/EzraMiller actually appear as their characters and have some banter, with Aquaman bemoaning the stupid rumor of him "fucking fish"]].
* [[SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome Visual Effects of Awesome]]: Eagly is all CGI, but many viewers were convinced it was a real trained eagle.

* MemeticMutation: [[PrecisionFStrike Fuck you, Barry!]] [[labelnote:explanation]]The Season 1 finale has Barry agree with Peacemaker's belief that Aquaman actually does have sex with fish, earning this response from Aquaman. Because both [[Characters/TheFlashBarryAllen the Comic Book]] and Series/TheFlash2014 incarnations of Barry have been [[BaseBreakingCharacter Base Breaking Characters]] in how they've changed history to suit their desires, fans have taken this to be a universal TakeThat at the character. Another reason why it's so memetic is that this is the first time DCEU Arthur has ended up in an R-rated DC medium, and immediately he drops a PrecisionFStrike ''twice''. Creator/EzraMiller's [[RoleEndingMisdemeanor potentially career-destroying criminal antics]] shortly after the show premiered and ''Film/TheFlash2023'' bombing at the box office a year later didn't hurt, either.[[/labelnote]]

** "What if Peacemaker in the finale of his show says, “Peacemaker, what a joke,” throws his helmet away, and wears Rick Flag's shirt in his honor."[[labelnote:explantation]]A tweet made by bluerayangel, a notable Twitter personality in CBM spaces, that quickly got attention for how utterly bizarre and ridiculous of an idea it was. This would lead to numerous copypastas replacing Peacemaker and Rick Flag with other DC and comic book rivals/enemies.

The police in the show were shown to be competent and by the book, plus with a lot of political figures dropping like flies there could be international crises brewing. Lots of fridge horror in that finale


* EsotericHappyEnding: Although the first season ends on a [[BittersweetEnding bittersweet note]], it's treated to be more on the sweet side of things than bitter. However, [[spoiler:the Butterflies have already taken over the bodies of millions of people worldwide, many in positions of authority. Indicating that a lot of major political figures are going to drop dead in the oncoming weeks, leaving a lot of FridgeHorror in its wake. On top of that, Goff and the butterflies wiped out the Evergreen Police Department, meaning who's going to patrol the streets?]]
