If you’ve been watching Peacemaker, you already know the titular, anti-heroic douchebag has been having a tough time of it recently. If you haven’t been watching Peacemaker, excellent news—you don’t actually need any context to get pleasure from this unimaginable second from yesterday’s episode, “Murn After Reading.”

Basically, a melancholy Chris Smith (John Cena) ends the episode by sitting down at his piano and enjoying a solo cowl of Motley Crue’s 1985 rock ballad “Home Sweet Home.”

What’s superb is that actually was Cena enjoying the piano himself, as Peacemaker director/creator James Gunn confirmed on Twitter:

Now, if you wish to know why Smith was enjoying a canopy of “Home Sweet Home”…

Not that something’s gone notably properly for Peacemaker, however issues acquired notably dire in yesterday’s episode. “Murn After Reading” sees the police uncover a diary in Smith’s trailer that frames him for homicide (properly, murders he dedicated as a result of the victims have been people possessed by evil aliens, however the cops don’t know that). He additionally noticed a man execute three harmless cops in an effort to assist Chris escape. Meanwhile, his group continues to be pointedly and awkwardly maintaining him at midnight about nearly the whole lot, regardless of Chris understanding massive secrets and techniques are being saved from him.

And throughout all this, he’s having a disaster of conscience about his position as Peacemaker, realizing possibly he doesn’t need to homicide males, girls, and youngsters on behalf of peace anymore. Basically, he’s not in a very good place in the mean time—and he’d most likely really feel even worse if he knew his racist piece-of-shit dad Auggie (Robert Patrick) was additionally coming to kill him. All in all, it’s an ideal time for him to belt out a glam rock ballad, though I may need swapped it out for Poison’s “Something to Believe In.”

It’s an ideal scene, however I used to be already aggravated with John Cena for being handsome and having wonderful comedian supply, which strikes me as totally unfair. Now that I do know he also can play the piano, and properly, it’s virtually sufficient to make me cease watching Peacemaker in disgust. Almost. If you’d wish to, although, Peacemaker is now streaming on HBO Max.
