Despite Gunn’s projects having a lot of whimsy, they can hit like a freight train, which means some levity is in order. Peacemaker Season 2 turns down the heat with its introduction, featuring all the characters dancing in a silly way to Foxy Shazam’s “Oh Lord.” The Internet loves every bit of the sequence, so much so that it’s cutting it together with iconic scenes from other TV shows and movies. Here are five movies and TV scenes made way better with the Peacemaker intro.
5) The Mandalorian
Like Peacemaker, Din Djarin always finds himself in some ridiculous situations in The Mandalorian. Season 2 of the Disney+ show sends the titular bounty hunter to face off against a Krayt dragon, a giant beast terrorizing the locals on Tatooine. In one particularly nasty scene, the dragon sprays acid all over a group of Tusken Raiders, killing them instantly. One X user thought it was the perfect place to insert the Peacemaker intro, and they were right.
4) The Dark Knight
Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy doesn’t feature any magical birds or alternate universes. However, there are still more than a few dark moments, such as when Rachel Dawes dies at the hands of The Joker as Batman saves Harvey Dent from the same fate. The Peacemaker intro cuts the tension by playing Dent’s transformation into the villain Two-Face for laughs.
3) Breaking Bad
Walter White isn’t always a criminal mastermind. At the start of Breaking Bad, he’s just making it up as he goes along, including when he has to dispose of a body. Walter and his partner, Jesse Pinkman, can only watch as the disintegrating corpse falls through the floor, causing about 100 more problems for the drug-making duo. “Oh Lord” fits the mood perfectly, as it highlights the absurdity of the situation.
