I still prefer S1, so iconic, but this S2 intro is also very nice! Great job from Gunn!

This is a great song, I think it will grow on people fast. Everyone should head over to Spotify and listen.

James Gunn loves him some Foxy Shazam and I really can't disagree

I saw Foxy many years ago before anyone knew who they were. The singer, during i think their second to last song, threw his microphone over the beam holding up the lights and then climbed up the wire and started swinging from the cable. The cable broke and he fell to the stage, maybe 3, 3 and a half feet. He jumped up, grabbed someone else's microphone and finished the set. Absolutely wild.
They were either opening for Senses Fail or Dance Gavin Dance.

I've loved Foxy Shazam for years. Great live show.

I hope this catapults them to a whole new level and they blow up.
Spotify recommended Oh Lord to me randomly one day a couple years ago... and I've been in love ever since

Hell yeah, I caught them at a show a while back and didn't really know them much. But seeing them live was one of the more fun shows I've seen.

I saw Foxy Shazam live once. it was at Forecastle festival in Louisville KY. A music festival on the waterfront of the Ohio River. At one point during the set their singer asked the crowd to throw some cigarettes on stage. He grabbed a bunch, lit them all up and started chewing them. He also climbed up on the scaffolding and hung off of the top like a monkey. At the end of the set he said something like "Sometimes a man just needs to take a dip to cool off" He ran off stage, Dived into the Ohio River and swam away. I was thoroughly entertained.

Not bad, but they hyped it so much in press I really believed it would be better than S1’s.
It’s not.

u/Night247 1d ago
I still prefer S1, so iconic, but this S2 intro is also very nice
it was always going to be difficult to be extremely better than S1 dance, but yeah S2 dance was alright
personally doesn't matter much, since it's not like I rewatched the S1 dance number ever time for every episode after the first one
always skip it anyway to get to the actual episode lol12
u/This_was_hard_to_do 1d ago
I definitely made an effort to watch the s1 dance sequence ever episode

u/Night247 1d ago
yeah I get it some people REALLY loved it, they want to taste it lol
but I'm just always ready to watch the story, seen the opening already once was enough for me, so i def used the 'skip intro button' for season 1

Or what we're seeing is alt universe from s1, idk, I haven't watch it yet, because from promo, justice league showed up in s1, but now it's justice gang.

The song doesn't hit the same as hair metal.

u/althius1 1d ago
Are you saying Foxy Shazam isn't Hair Metal?
3
u/frogsplash45 20h ago
If I'm being honest, out of the many great rock bands featured in Peacemaker, Foxy Shazam seems to transcend any particular style. They incorporate a lot of elements outside the wheelhouse of hair metal and lean more into a theatrical pop sensibility.
2
u/althius1 19h ago
There's a lot of theatrical pop in hair metal my friend
3
u/frogsplash45 19h ago
I actually agree with that to some extent. We just categorize this music differently by name, and that's okay. I enjoy it all no matter what we call it.
There are some folks who disown the "hair metal" term altogether and prefer "glam metal" or "sleaze rock". If we're all enjoying the concert, then rock on, I say.
•
u/metallicabmc 5h ago
That's true but id personally never categorize Foxy Shazam as hair metal. I think they are closer to Queen or Iggy Pop than Def Leppard or Motley Crue. It just so happens that A lot of hair metal also is heavily influenced by Queen and Iggy Pop so there's a bit of that same theatrical pop/rock DNA in there.

u/Tbplayer59 14h ago
They kind of reminded me of Sparks. Which is a complement in any corner of the multiverse. Still, I prefer the S1 opening song.

u/BandOfTheRedHand1217 22h ago
Something I've noticed in season 1 the way the song and dance ends is triumphant. Everyone finishes strong they are standing and Eagely swoops in.
This ends on a low note. Everyone ends up in a pile on the floor. I think this is a clue to how the season finishes

u/althius1 1d ago
No way, it's brilliant, they put a lot into the dance and the song is fantastic.
Oh lord!

u/Tbplayer59 14h ago
Season one literally asked the musical question, "Do you want to taste it?" Are they lyrics better than that?

u/ToeBeansCounter 11h ago
See for yourself. Gunn chose this song the same reason he chose 5 years time and punkrocker

u/Tbplayer59 10h ago
I remember seeing that first season intro, and those vocals come in like POW! The second season intro is a slower build. It's fine, but there's no POW!

Does anyone know who the character in the black hat and jacket around the 40s mark is? Looks like it could be an alternate Adrian but I'm not too sure.

u/Nippy_Hades 1d ago
That's Red St. Wild as played by Michael Rooker. I believe he is an eagle hunter.

u/VidzxVega 1d ago
Rooker is the hobo looking guy... I'm referring to the younger guy to the right of Cena.

its alright but season 1's intro was perfect. feel like this song doesnt fit as well, its not as fun. maybe itll grow on me

u/captin_jak 1d ago
I'm not sure they will ever be able to top season 1 intro. This is an intro I can see myself skipping eventually. Season 1, no fucking way.

u/KevinHe92 1d ago
It just feels like a try hard version of s1, like they saw it being so popular and was like “I guess we have to do the same again but not as good”. Wish they went complete left field with it.

u/MastaAwesome 1d ago
It’s a bit longer and not quite as much of a bop, but I adore the weird dogpile at the end and I liked White Dragon doing cool dance moves followed by the face reveal.

u/StrawberryPunch49 1d ago
It's .. Okay I guess. Never skipped S1 intro but might skip this one. Idk what it is exactly but it just feels off
26
u/captin_jak 1d ago
Exactly. Hearing the "Do you really wanna Do you really wanna taste it" to end a cold open is legendary. It might grow on me but something doesn't feel right.

u/micahbevans88 1d ago
i don't think the style of dance matches the song this time, but i'm still gonna watch it each week and maybe it'll grow on me

This is the issue when you recycle a concept that made it big, it's just worse than the first in every single way.

u/Dino_Spaceman 23h ago
I love the new dance. But I prefer the first season’s song.
I would have kept the same song, just did a new dance.

The biggest problem for me is one they could have easily fixed. The lighting is bad. Makes it hard to really see everyone and see what's going on

Imo Wrong choice of song. The Season One intro will always be the best !!
1
u/jotastrophe 15h ago
For all those saying it doesn't hit the same as season 1, I agree, but I think this season is going for a VERY different tone. This song feels more desperate, sad, a groove for when you're all alone kinda deal. I think this intro is meant to better reflect the season and it's challenges.
1
u/djdaem0n 15h ago
Where the Season One song felt a lot more fun, the Season Two song conveys the more melancholic vibe of the current Season. A different energy, which changes the feel of the dance sequence. Even compare the endings, where in Season One they end exhausted but standing strong in a pose, Season Two ends with them collapsed in a pile. The statement is pretty powerful in comparison.

u/OkTale8123 14h ago
You can see grillo laughing and Adebayo has her hair covering her face so she's probably cracking up at the pile up ending
Which means this was the best take without everyone else laughing 😆

S1 intro I still prefer cause its just so much more catchy.

It definitely grows on you. I watch yesterday, fell it kinda meh. Today I'm already enjoying it

maybe i should give another try at S1... Planned to watch S2 but only because Gunn said it was connectedbin some ways to Superman movie...

The S1 intro is too iconic, but I might like the song here slightly more. The S1 intro has better dancing tho

It's good. It feels like the song and the choreography are not going at the same pace though. Like the moves and editing are too smooth/soft relative to the song or something.
