Here is the list of the 7 Eagly moments from Peacemaker Season 1 that will make you wish you could pet one:

7. Eagly's loyalty to Vigilante

In the sixth and eighth episodes of Peacemaker Season 1, Eagly is injured while attempting to cover Peacemaker from his father, Auggie, and his followers. Vigilante (Adrian Chase) steps in and saves the day with Economos' help amidst all of this chaos. Eagly is considered to be very trustworthy and composed around Vigilante during times of crisis, even though he has a deep affection for Peacemaker.

This moment reveals a remarkable level of love and attachment from a bird that, aside from Chris, usually acts indifferent or disrespectful towards others. Eagly is not afraid because he knows Vigilante is on his side, so you should reach out and pat him at that point.

6. Eagly joins the cast on the dance intro

Eagly even appears in one of the most iconic opening credit sequences ever in the first episode of Peacemaker Season 1. The entire cast dances in perfect, robotic coordination to the upbeat rock song “Do Ya Wanna Taste It” by Wig Wam. One of them is a surprise appearance of Eagly. He makes dramatic head turns, flaps his wings, and even shifts as if he were a member of the crew. The reason it's so magical is that one would not expect a bald eagle to do that. Despite its briefness, his moment lingers. He is a perfect fit for the show's oddly humorous tone.

When you watch him perform, you fall in love with him more because he dances so seriously, just like all the other characters. It makes his character very personable without saying a thing. It is then quite difficult not to feel like reaching out and patting him after having actually seen this. This scene reveals his dual roles as Peacemaker's sidekick and a team member in the cutest way possible.

5. Eagly meets Adebayo

When Eagly meets Leota Adebayo for the first time in Peacemaker Season 1, Episode 2, it's a sharp and humorous moment. She joins Chris and the others in the car. Adebayo is leaning forward in interest by the time Peacemaker introduces Eagly and tells her he's nice. Eagly doesn't show her kindness; instead, he quickly criticizes her. The moment is so quick and sudden that everybody is surprised. Adebayo’s reaction is perfect. She pulls back and says,

“I thought you said he was nice!”

These are multi-layered humor. It's about Eagly determining who he likes and doesn't like, not just about the peck. He is loyal to Peacemaker and isn't yet ready to put his trust in new people. You can see how intelligent and cautious he is from this humorous jab. It's both funny and impressive. His cheek and sauciness make him seem more like a sentient animal.

4. Eagly pecking economos

Eagly's obvious distaste for John Economos is one of the best recurring jokes in Peacemaker Season 1. When they're in a tight spot, especially in the car, Eagly doesn't hesitate to give him a peck, sometimes multiple times. These pecks are firm and full of personality, but they are never violent. Eagly seems to be stating,

“I don’t trust you, stay away from my human.”

Economos handles it well, but his agitated look conveys a lot. Its journey towards character development without the use of words is what makes this running joke so great. Eagly isn't just a quiet bird that doesn't say much. He also has strong feelings and a deep love for his country. He knows exactly how his person is, and he doesn't care who likes it.

The pecking moments are not only hilarious but also adorable. They are not only cute, but Eagly's lively personality makes you want to pet him. That tiny, burning heart makes him very charming in a bird's body.

3. Eagly's second hug at the vet

In Episode 7 of Peacemaker Season 1, Eagly lies injured in a vet clinic after a brutal attack from the White Dragon (Peacemaker’s father) during a heated battle. Peacemaker is afraid that he has lost his friend, and he offers his prayers by his side. However, out of sheer hope, Eagly gingerly gets up and encloses Chris with his wings, hugging him again, but this time more firmly. Those who watched online described it as extremely emotional, akin to a miracle, and even moving them to tears. After watching Peacemaker Season 1, one fan wrote:

“I just want Eagly to hug me too!”

The hug is not only cute, but it also expresses love and relief after a frightening experience. It is the pure emotion of a massive bird who has chosen to remain with his human. That vulnerability makes you want to reach through the screen to pet him. You want to comfort him and acknowledge his bravery while appreciating his kindness and gentleness in a world that can often be tough and unforgiving.

2. Eagly tackles cops

A completely different side of Eagly is revealed in Peacemaker Season 1 Episode 6. In one, Peacemaker and Vigilante are fighting in the woods while surrounded by police officers. As his friends flee, Eagly dives, chases, and pecks the officers to save them. It's bloody, insane, and surprisingly humorous. It was described as deliriously entertaining by one reviewer, who also noted that Eagly was more brutal than Peacemaker in many ways. Fans ecstatically cried out, "HELL YEAH EAGLY!!!" on the Internet when he dive-bagged the police.

This scene shows that he is an aggressive defender rather than just a cute little helper. You are inspired to admire his loyalty and spirit by seeing how fearlessly he fights. After that toughness, you want to give him a little scratching to let him know he did a good job and to release some of the adrenaline. When he bravely defends his human, you picture his feathers feeling smooth in your palm.

1. Eagly's first hug

Eagly is introduced in Peacemaker Season 1 Episode 1, where he experiences what it's like to form a true friendship. Peacemaker reconnects with Eagly at his father's house after being released from prison. It is the chirping of the eagle that a child uses to greet a parent. Then Eagly puts his wings around Chris's neck and gives him a gentle embrace, perhaps one of the first human-eagle cuddles ever shown on television. Peacemaker looks like he has seen a miracle.

According to the show's creator, James Gunn, he needed to see Eagly fighting and hugging, and this scene replicates that. Fans continue to rave about how adorable it is online, even going so far as to claim that the CGI hug is the stuff that dreams are made of. The hug is a sign of true love for an eagle. You want to stroke his fur to experience the ecstasy, taste the fluffiness, and take part in the connection. This is also the point at which Eagly stops being a pet and joins the family.
