*Sean Gunn shows up at your ur house* Everyone: “oh… hey man” like bro is another roomate
Having sean gunn show up was a crazy moment
Heck you got Sean Gunn?
Fun fact: the bird that Savant killed at the start and the bird that started eating him after he died were both canaries. This is a reference to Black Canary, who was the one to lock him up in Belle Reeve.
I appreciate the checking ins because it’s always like “I’m doing great, my life is in absolute ruins and I’ve cried 6 times this week but can’t wait to watch this flick”! Very relatable.
This is why I trust James Gunn. This movie fucking rocks.
Between Tara changing outfits and Sean Gunn irl cameo im gagged 😂❤
I always found it interesting how much Peacemaker respected Rick Flag Jr.

I still love the joke of an Aussie woman playing an American with a famously thick Brooklyn accent saying she loves accents because she "don't got none" of her own 😂 It's so silly, but so funny to me.
