"A universe ruled by Nazis running parallel to our own would be a huge revelation for any story, and the latest season of Peacemaker tries to give that twist the gravity it warrants. Series creator James Gunn worked hard to preserve that surprise for the latter half of Season 2, leaving three episodes to explore the similarities and differences in this other Earth."
"Their arrival gives Peacemaker some fun reveals - like the pleasure of two different versions of Vigilante (Freddie Stroma) - but also revelations that may be a bit too complex or uncomfortable to unpack in such a short window. Peacemaker and the gang don't spend much time on Earth-2 before returning to their own world in Episode 7, so we don't learn what's happened to characters like Leota Adebayo (Danielle Brooks) or Judo Master (Nhut Lee) in Nazi Land."
James Gunn reserved the Nazi-ruled alternate Earth reveal for the last three episodes of Season 2, labeling it Earth-2 and drawing parallels to Earth X. Christopher Smith (Peacemaker) escapes to Earth-2 seeking an easier life, prompting his teammates to pursue and attempt to return him home. The crossover introduces alternate versions of characters—such as two Vigilantes and other parallels like Rick Flag Jr.—and offers both playful contrasts and disturbing revelations. The series devotes limited time to Earth-2, leaving the fates of figures like Leota Adebayo and Judo Master unexplored and the broader implications underdeveloped. Gunn indicated that additional scenes involving a fallen Season 1 character were planned and might have deepened the storyline.
