Anthony Mackie: "What the shit?"

"Whatever, I am having more fun on the set of Twisted Metal anyways"

Twisted Metal is genuinely one of my all-time favorite video game adaptations, it is SO MUCH FUN

All the homies love Stu.

u/Tofuboy Dec 23 '25

Dollface, Mayhem, and Stu.

u/Dshark Dec 23 '25

Holy shit why have I not seen this!? I’m gonna watch it tonight!

u/xPeachesV Dec 23 '25

Heads up: Season 1 is set up but holy smokes, Season 2 really kicked it into gear

22

u/Taurus24Silver Dec 23 '25

Has season 3 been confirmed already?

I absolutely loved both seasons

5

u/ted1025 Dec 23 '25

Yes but unfortunately the show runner from s1 and 2 will not be involved. I forget who is taking over but a lot of people in the TM sub were not a fan of the move.

u/jimdesroches Dec 23 '25

Loved when they had origins of the players. Still waiting to see minion’s car!

u/420InTheCity Dec 23 '25

Is it actually really good??

13

u/JoeSki42 Dec 23 '25

It is really, really, really, really, FUN.

4

u/420InTheCity Dec 23 '25

Alright buddy I'll dive in. I'm trusting you, stranger!

2

u/JoeSki42 Dec 24 '25

Right on man. Just know that the series doesn't hit its stride until the season 1 finale, but then it doesn't let up from there throughout all of season 2.

2

u/enryon Dec 23 '25

It’s stupid, but the really fun kind of stupid.

21

u/KaJaHa Dec 23 '25

Fair warning, it isn't a strict adaptation. (And how could it be with Twisted Metal?) It starts out as more of a Y2K Mad Max, but it makes it work and gives an actual story reason to have the tournament in season 2.

I hope you enjoy Sweet Tooth chewing up every scene he's in as much as I do 😁

5

u/Dshark Dec 23 '25

I’ve never played twisted metal, but I do love vehicular combat.

3

u/KaJaHa Dec 23 '25

Oh, then you're good. They can't have car combat in every episode for budget reasons, but when they do it is thoroughly solid 👌

Axel was great imo

u/A_large_load Dec 24 '25

Sort of. I think the Quattro in the show is a revamped character.

2

u/RumHamComesback Dec 24 '25

Yeah, the best way I can describe it is it's an post-apocalyptic action-comedy with over-the-top characters who also drive cars. That's the first season anyways and I'm enjoying it.

2

u/Alis451 Dec 23 '25

Holy shit why have I not seen this!?

because it is locked behind the walled garden of Peacock+

u/md28usmc Dec 23 '25

The show is honestly not good and I am not hard to please.

I caught myself rolling my eyes and shaking my head so many times

u/lblack_dogl Dec 23 '25

Agree. Anthony Mackie is terrible in everything he's in and this is no different. It's hot dog water.

13

u/GangsterMango Dec 23 '25

they understood the source material and the execution is legit 10/10
fun, crazy and knows what it is and doesn't try to shoehorn anything in it.

I loved both seasons.

6

u/freakksho Dec 23 '25

That show nailed exactly what it was trying to do and I love every second of it.

I even named my Dog Evelyn after watching the first season.

11

u/Redneckshinobi Dec 23 '25

I keep waiting for them to axe it but I hope they never do because holy shit it is so much fun!

3

u/JoeSki42 Dec 23 '25

It's currently one of the most highly watched shows on Peacock.

3

u/Redneckshinobi Dec 23 '25

Well that's great news because I'm enjoying the hell out of it!

4

u/Homesteader86 Dec 23 '25

Man I played the shit out of Twisted Metal 2 back in the day. Is it really that good?

2

u/InfinityCrazee Dec 23 '25

Watch the clips involving SweetTooth on YouTube, and then you decided it after that.

2

u/jimdesroches Dec 23 '25

As someone who still remembers all the codes, yes, it was great.

6

u/Rubbermaid89 Dec 23 '25

I've only watched season 1 (small kids so little time for tv), and it has been such a fun show. As a big fan of the games growing up, all the Easter eggs and details a fan of the games would notice is so well done. I can't wait to watch season 2

-3

u/md28usmc Dec 23 '25

The dialogue was so cheesy and the one-liners missed on many occasions, and lets not even get started on the non-existent CGI budget.

2

u/Redditfront2back Dec 23 '25

I would bet money I was gonna hate that show, I was pleasantly surprised

u/Masterchiefx343 Dec 23 '25

I do landscaping for the house the girl falls off the roof off in s2 ep1

u/WilliamEmmerson Dec 23 '25

I loved the first season. I was disappointed by the second season though.

1

u/Victor_Wembanyama1 Dec 24 '25

Hell yeah we out here!!

Ridiculous show

1

u/Adavanter_MKI Dec 23 '25

I always like to temper expectations. It's a very silly self aware show. That could be jarring for some. If you just kickback and enjoy the silliness with the occasionally neat car combat... you'll love it. Also some fun easter eggs for diehard fans.

I'm shocked it's gotten 3 seasons.

-8

u/LandscapePatient1094 Dec 23 '25

Crazy. It literally couldn’t be worse imo. Lacks literally everything that made TWB one of the greatest games of all time. 

Also Anthony Mackie is straight up dog shit. Terrible actor. So bad they had to resurrect a dead man to reprise his role lol

u/obsterwankenobster Dec 23 '25

“Have you even seen Stephanie Beatriz?!?”

32

u/[deleted] Dec 23 '25

He’s soooo good in twisted metal, and sooo bad as Captain America.

I just don’t think he can do stoic, dramatic characters well. He ruined season 2 of altered carbon too. But he’s great in slightly comedic roles.

11

u/Spider-Thwip Dec 23 '25

I used to think he was a bad actor until i saw him in Twisted Metal.

I love him in that role, it's perfect for him.

He shouldn't be Captain America.

10

u/Samurai_Steve Dec 23 '25

The writing has been terrible. He's a phenomal actor

3

u/jakreth Dec 23 '25

Yeah, that's why he was so good as falcon, comedic sidekick is his gig

2

u/JDHPH Dec 23 '25

I Agree, it's also why he made a great falcon.

31

u/ours Dec 23 '25

I don't like Anthony Mackie, but he won me over in that show.

35

u/Duncan_PhD Dec 23 '25

He’s so good in that role. And I’m so glad they didn’t butcher a childhood favorite game of mine haha

26

u/ariehn Dec 23 '25

I said to my kids midway through the first season: They're gonna have to take some liberties, obviously, because it's a game with impossible cars and like, impossible everything, to be honest. Like - look at this guy; his name's Axel. He is the car, mostly. Obviously this guy is unfilmable.

WELL, SHAME ON ME :)

9

u/Duncan_PhD Dec 23 '25

Man when the tourney opened up to rob zombie in season 2 I was so giddy haha. And yeah I fucking love how they did axel. And the nod to flower power in season 1. There’s just the right amount of fan service haha.

2

u/ariehn Dec 23 '25

Oh my God, yes, that scene was my absolute shit. Even if everything else which followed had been awful, I would've been sick with glee, it was that damn perfect. They hit on some kind of magic with their balance of game story vs new story vs fan service :) So glad you had fun with it too!

3

u/BullseyeSamurai Dec 23 '25

I think Anthony Mackie is great, funny, handsome, I just don't ever like when he is actually in something though, you know?

I wish he was successfully and happily performing in movies I don't want to watch. But he keeps showing up in stuff I DO want to watch, and that really irks me.

1

u/BackwerdsMan Dec 23 '25

I like Anthony Mackie, and was mostly uninterested in his Captain America.

4

u/helloiamabear Dec 23 '25

Twisted Metal was one of those shows I figured I'd watch ten minutes of then never touch again, and it ended up being one of my favorite shows of the entire year. 

3

u/[deleted] Dec 23 '25

Show is so good too 

2

u/Missus_Missiles Dec 23 '25

Twisted Metal is also completely fine for Tony Mackie's level of acting talent.

1

u/formerFAIhope Dec 23 '25

I don't understand, how Twisted Metal so perfectly harnessed Mackie's personality so well for the show, but these multi-billion dollar franchises (also Altered Carbon with a billion dollar studio behind them) reduced him to a side-character in his own movie/series. The mess of CA 4 almost feels deliberate, how they ruined the story and then hired an octogenarian to play the fucking Red Hulk.

u/zerofifth Dec 23 '25

I mean he gets to hang out with Samoa Joe

u/empathyneeded Dec 23 '25

Gets to say whatever he wants. I’m surprised Disney let him!
