Although audience feedback for Peacemaker season 2 has been mostly favorable, with viewers and reviewers applauding the acting and plot—despite the fact that the major revelation in episode 7 didn't come as a shock—one critique has only grown stronger as the season continues: decreasing runtime lengths.

Over the past few episodes, viewers have expressed disappointment over the noticeably shorter runtimes in season 2, and it's true, the installments have been progressively briefer. Episode 7, titled “Like a Keith in the Night,” ran just 28 minutes (not counting the summary, title sequence, and end credits), making it the shortest episode so far.

You'll be happy to know the upcoming finale is nearly an hour in length.

Series creator and DCU boss Gunn stated on Threads, responding to a viewer's concern.

Although this is encouraging, it's unknown what portion of the runtime will be actual new footage, free from opening and ending sequences, or recaps of previous events. However, should the episode contains all the aforementioned filler, that would still allow for between 45 and 50 minutes for the concluding episode, which is a significant improvement following the previous installment.

The director earlier teased that the finale would not only wrap up Peacemaker but also provide clues regarding the future the greater DCU at large will be heading and serve as a kind of precursor for the next Superman movie. Considering the cameo of Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor from the sixth installment, fans expect a exciting guest appearance to cap off the series.

The show's season conclusion, episode 8, is called "The Full Nelson," and audiences must wait to find out if viewer theories are proven correct.
