there's been a few interviews where cena talked about how gunn specifically told him NOT to read any of the peacemaker comics because he didn't want that to influence his performance or get caught up in gunn's changes saying, "wait, but in the comics..."
this is fundamentally the issue with DC live action vs the MCU (at least the first few phases anyway). the people at marvel actually take to heart how the characters behave in the comics. while they might not do a carbon copy of comic book storylines and characters, they at least demonstrate a huge amount of respect to the source material. whereas DC just doesn't seem to get that. they know that batman, superman, etc are household names and that they will sell tickets so they write their own power fantasy fanfic and insert popular characters just so people will see it.
then you have gunn... who does the same thing, more or less, but does it with characters that NOBODY knows or cares about. he did it with peacemaker, he did it with suicide squad, he did it with guardians of the galaxy. no one is really comparing these guys to the source material because why would you? i don't know if that's genius or what, but it works

Because PM and Goff had a similar philosophy and Goff was going to die anyway since the butterflies food source was destroyed.

yeah, clearly the big two at this point. Would have cost way too much to have one of them appear for 10 seconds, one isn't tied to this anymore as far as I can tell, and the third that isn't there isn't tied into this anymore period.
In fact I'd say its interesting they are even implying that what they are showing even exists at all in the DCEU

'They Let Me Do Whatever I Want': James Gunn on the 'Peacemaker' Finale
'Peacemaker' showrunner James Gunn discusses finale's Justice League cameos, plans for Season Two, and why DC gives him so much power.
www.rollingstone.com
good season, the finale was maybe a bit weaker in writing and the dialogue but it was a nice bow on a very, very solid season of TV and I definitely look forward to season 2. The Butterflies were a bit uneven, and there are still thousands and thousands (?) more with tons of jars of honey around all over the world, and we don't even know how/if they can reproduce or make another cow. Felt odd to not squish Goff. I half expected Eagly to just eat Goff in the end.

I'll prolly get hated on but season 1 of The Boys might still be my favorite. Going to rewatch season 1 before season 3 starts
