My girlfriend said the other day that sometime James Gunn is a little too much James Gunn and I really didn't understand what she meant until this episode. 😂
I was disappointed. the extra run time was just 4 or 5 music numbers on top of a regular episode
No peacemaker suit in the peacemaker finale
I felt a bit underwhelmed on this episode
It's pretty sad to see how Flagg Senior turns into everything his son hated. Jr saw these meta humans as friends and teammates in the end, while his death caused his dad to become bitter and hateful against meta humans
Salvation could be a cool way to introduce a lot of rarely used villains.
I think that why this Episode feels Underwhelming was because maybe this was an Epilogue type of Episode where the previous one, EP7 was the true Finale and this was just a setup for what's coming.
Argus couldn't have known about Vigilante stash house full of cocaine and cash because they never went inside.

Honestly the finale was underwhelming given the way it was set up. But i agree with you saying that 7th episode was actually a finale.
