Matt Groening has come a long way from writing surrealist comics for alt newspapers featuring his two bunny characters in Life in Hell. That comic found a fan in James L Brooks and Tracy Ulman, but it was not the cartoon that made its way to television. Instead Groening took inspiration from his own family and a town in his native Oregon, Springfield, and created one of the longest running tv shows in history. The prime time antics of Springfield’s most famous residents have run for 33 seasons and during that time has collected a lot of lore and references. The show built around pop culture references has itself become an inseparable part of the popular culture. A lot has changed in the world since the show’s introduction in 1989, and with no end in sight the show is rapidly approaching becoming older than Homer Simpson himself. The show has been a happy home to writers who favor the unique environment that the show operates under, receiving no studio notes and with animation they are allowed to take the show wherever they want, including space where Homer and an inanimate rod both put the day at risk and saved it. Naturally there are hidden references and inspirations and, with a show that long more than a little instances of self reference.

With HBO Max’s superhero adjacent comedy series rockin’ them TV screens, it’s about time to get into some behind the scenes deets for everyone’s favorite John Cena rockin’ tidy whities action comedy. The most inspirational factoid about Peacemaker is that show creator James Gunn, writer of such classic works as the Guardians of the Galaxy films and Tromeo & Juliet, set out to write the whole series out of boredom. Yeah, he didn’t actually think that it would be something that got MADE – instead, he found himself locked down in quarantine working out what exactly made Peacemaker tick. In The Suicide Squad there is of course a lot of backstory for characters like Ratcatcher II and Polka-Dot Man (RIP RIP), but outside of a brief mention of his father and an extremely heartwrenching character beat during his unaliving of Rick Flagg… we don’t really get much more than misplaced bravado and bizarre life philosophies within the film itself. Gunn, an ardent comics fan, knew there was more to the character and of course…. We’ve all seen John Cena in the role… so naturally, Gunn wrote it up, giving himself a goal of one episode per week for eight weeks. So all you writers out there, ya just work up the gumption and channel your inner, uh, depression, I guess and um… also be extremely wealthy.

Of course, one of the many breakout stars of Peacemaker is Christopher Smith’s pet eagle slash best friend Eagly. While it is fairly obvious that the extremely animated eagle is, well, animated – some viewers were curious how much of the eagle was practical, say a puppet or animatronic. In reality, Eagly was completely CGI – a creation of WETA Digital, using assets they already had in their library, along with the expertise of VFX supervisor Guy WIlliams, who had worked with WETA on The Suicide Squad. WETA of course have worked on, like, everything – Lord of the Rings, various Marvel and DC projects, that sick as hell Predator sequel where Eddie Brock’s a serial killer. They’re a one stop shop for excellence, and with Eagly they brought their trademark high quality CGI to enliven that sassy, loyal bird.
