Eagley really is the Prime Eagle lmaoooo
viligiante crying had me like dam james gunn got me caring bout this dude
I did like the detail that Fleury applauded EconoGoat. It shows that even though he will give you a somewhat degrading nickname; he is a decent guy who wants to do things by the book.
I got emotional at Vij breaking down, won't lie. A phenomenal episode all around. Never imagined I'd care for all of these characters so much. Peacemaker's inability to see Harcourt's actions were to save his life is understandable. She keeps (lying to him) telling him she doesn't care about him, but does all of this stuff behind the scenes to save his ass. Loved Economos coming through too. Even Fleury gave him props in a great little character moment for him. This show continues to rule.
Adebayo is so cooked next episode if the Earth X thing is true
James Gunn said the aftershow that Eagly is the strongest member of the 11th Street Kids.
Anyone think Judomaster tries to find hot cheetos and can't in the other universe because they weren't invented due to there being no other ethnicities, so Richard Montañez wouldn't have been able to suggest their creation? Also, what if Eagley, as Prime Eagle, "heals" Fleury of his "bird blindness"? That would be hilarious.
I’ve been saying this since whenever Rick Flagg Jr of the other universe got shown but he is 100 percent the vigilante of that universe. My theory is our vigilante is going to see another vigilante in the alternate earth and he takes off his mask and it’s flagg. That flagg acts exactly like adrian
Eagly being the Lord of All Eagles is fn epic
