Season 2, Episode 3 of Peacemaker subtly reveals a substantial hint that could potentially validate its most daring fan theory
In the latest episode of Peacemaker season 2, a major character from The Suicide Squad makes a surprising return. The third instalment introduces a new group, the Sons of Liberty, who carry out a mission involving hostage-taking and bomb-setting.
The Sons of Liberty, founded by Auggie Smith and Clemson Murn, have become a central focus of the series. In the first episode of the season, Chris Smith, the protagonist, discovers Earth-2, a parallel Earth that seems idyllic but fans suspect something is amiss.
The primary evidence for Earth-2 being a reimagining of Earth-X from DC Comics is that everyone who exists in this parallel dimension is white. If the Earth-2 theory holds true, it could lead to a significant moment when DCU's Smith learns that Earth-2 is home to a predominantly white supremacist human race.
Interestingly, on Earth-2, Chris Smith's father and brother are alive and part of a celebrated superhero group called the Top Trio. The theory suggests that the parallel world Earth-2, which Chris Smith visits, is a stand-in for Earth-X.
The Sons of Liberty might hold the key to a major new fan theory about the DCU TV show's second season. Adapted as an ultra-nationalist paramilitary organization that incites hate and intolerance, the group could be reimagined as altruistic freedom fighters fighting for a more diverse world, if Earth-2 is indeed a reimagining of Earth-X.
James Gunn, DCU co-chief, has hinted at surprises, especially in the final three episodes of Peacemaker season 2. One such surprise is the return of the Peacemaker who was part of this universe, before he was killed by Smith, who owned a weaponized two-wheeler called the Peace-Cycle.
Emilia Harcourt, a character from the main series, exists in a more emotionally available version on Earth-2. Compared to her main series counterpart, Emilia Harcourt in Peacemaker season 2 is portrayed as more emotionally available.
The release date for Peacemaker season 2 episode 4 has not been specified in the article. Fans eagerly await the next instalment to uncover more secrets and twists in this intriguing parallel universe.
