The eighth episode of HBO Max’s Peacemaker was released on Thursday, capping off a season filled with alien invaders, imperfect heroes and plenty of laughs.
In the penultimate episode, audiences even learned the titular character, played by John Cena, is queer.

HBO Max recently announced plans for a season two, and we’d love to see Peacemaker’s sexuality explored more. Sadly, audiences will have to wait a while for new episodes of the series.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
In the mean time, here’s a look at a scene that will no doubt reverberate across the internet forever:

John Cena is a national treasure. He is everyone’s dream guy
martyvl
I’m not into steroid enhanced bodies…… so not my “dream guy”
cuteguy
Cena has repeatedly said he has NEVER taken steroids and he’s all natural. He’s everyone dream. He has incredible discipline
CatholicXXX
Because people never lie. Dude is on roids. There’s no denying.
Freddie Stroma Is everyone’s dream guy. Gorgeous man.
Donston
Nobody is “everyone’s dream guy”. And either you find Cena attractive or not. But no one cares either way.

@cuteguy he is 100% on steroids! Anyone who knows anything about bodybuilding knows that that physique is not attainable naturally. Tons of people in Hollywood fake being natural. Look at the guys who miraculously buff up for Marvel rolls in a few months. They claim it’s just 6000 calories of chicken and rice and tons of training…. BS. It’s impossible. Especially at his age. Steroids doesn’t discredit his hard work though. To get to his size you need a good diet, good training, and steroids. Good diet and training isn’t going to be enough alone. I’ll be honest I hate guys like him who claim natural and cause the general public to believe if they eat clean and train hard enough you’ll look like him. You won’t. Not even the ultimate genetics will have you look like that.

CatholicXXX:
Freddie Stroma is gorgeous!

Why are gay men so often portrayed as dancing queens? Most gay men are solid adults and they don’t prance around. However, whenever a straight actor – like Cena – portrays them, he thinks that he has to play a stereotypical version of a “fairy.” Sad.

Tell me you haven’t watched the show without telling me you haven’t watched the show.
Donston
At least two-thirds of male queers in fiction are presented as “straight passing”. And that includes most of the roles and performances from “straight presenting” actors. Also, if you think John Cena singing in his underwear is supposed to be representative of a “queen”, that simply highlights your own insecurities and how easily triggered you are and that you haven’t watched the show or even just that scene. There is nothing about Cena’s character or that scene that screams “queen”.
If you and your multiple handles are gonna keep ranting against everything you think does not reflect a “normal gay male” the least you can do is not make up nonsense narratives or talk about a show that you clearly haven’t watched.

It’s cute how you just proved you haven’t seen the show.
But no surprise, you’re just a lying troll on here to defend bigots, attack LGBTQ people and use multiple screenames to do it.
Yooper
I think of myself as a solid adult. I also prance around to any music my mind and body can’t resist, which if reads “fairy” to you, well, that’s your problem.
JB
Watch the show, snowflake, before commenting. Cena is great and funny in it and there’s nothing “stereotypical” about how he plays the role. Lighten up.

@cuteguy Cena’s Not my dream in any way, shape, form. He’s just not attractive at all imo.
Ronbo
Cena’s face appears to have over-developed muscles – a sign of steroid usage. But it’s only a red flag.
Let’s not start a race to see who can project the most hate and create ANOTHER enemy out of a person who would be supportive of our community – but maybe not 100% as supportive as we’d like.
Our community grew by being inclusive and accepting of people on their journey to accepting us. We are much, Much, MUCH more than entitled juviniles demanding cancellations after cancellation. So how about Queerty starting off on the right foot and asking our “editors” to stop pushing division and identity politics? We are all human. The division they are pushing is hurting the community.
Cam
Translation: This screename got exposed as another one of the right wing troll screenames, so while you still think it may have a few people fooled, you’re trying to beg Queerty to stop pointing out that the Republican Party and Conservatives are bigoted and hate LGBTQ people.
I’ve told you before, you aren’t subtle, and your troll game is sad and weak.
Theweatherman
He’s yummy. That is not a bubble butt though. I think his personality is what makes him attractive.
Diplomat
This is a great series. Hetero muscle God str8 dancing in his tighty whities, sex jokes “don’t fk Chewbaka, he has teeth on his ashshole. Known fact” are hilarious and many, and John Cena is eye catching hilarious. Great gun powder to blow up an afternoon.
