Peacemaker season 2 seems to be setting up a really bleak multiverse twist

But “Another Rick Up My Sleeve,” the third episode of Peacemakerseason 2, reinforces that series creator and writer James Gunn is using the concept in a way more reminiscent of science fiction works like Fringe, Everything Everywhere All at Once, and Dark Matter. Those stories use the multiverse to tackle philosophical questions about who their characters are, what they want, what they’re capable of, and who they would be if things were just a little different. That’s a much richer use for the concept than an opportunity for endless cameos.
