'Peacemaker' Episode 8: Justice League cameo in finale labelled 'insulting' by DC fandom
The Justice League's cameo in 'Peacemaker' Episode 8 (HBO Max)

It was a climax scene to remember (or forget) or DC ardents. 'Peacemaker' aired its final episode 'It's Cow or Never' and the ending garnered a mixed response from fans. Skipping right to the final few minutes, John Cena's Chris Smith torpedoes his helmet and Leota Adebayo right into the Cow's belly killing it. He also shoots Locke and detective Song but leaves the butterfly alone as a way of showing his humanity.

Outside, John Economos tends to a gravely-injured Emilia Harcourt (Jennifer Holland) and Smith picks her up and carries her to the hospital. They're confronted by four members of the Justice League — Superman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, and Aquaman. Cena hands them a mouthful of abuse and walks off. While their appearances blew one segment's minds, a chunk of fans were disappointed with how it ended.
