CREATURE COMMANDOS Spoiler Discussion And Poll: What Did You Think About The First DCU TV Series?

A great introduction to the DCU, seems like the theme for this universe will be character study (what makes them tick and how this affects those around them). Looking forward to the rest of the series, wasn't expecting a lot the character choices but they work to move the story forward. 4/5 stars from me.

A bit over the top with gratuitous edgy humour. Hope there is some restraint from Gunn for his live action projects. There are snippets which show that he can write well but then its quickly overshadowed by a barrage of unfunny jokes or outrageous moments. If most of the DCU won't be R Rated , this show needs to cool it with the craziness.

Wasn't crazy about the first episode, but the second episode was pretty good IMO. Hopefully, the remaining fight scenes are as good as what we got with Circe. On another I gotta give it to Grillo, I thought his character was gonna be another Alpha, Military Douchebag with a chip on his shoulder because of his son's death, but he plays a pretty likeable leader here.

Not very good so far but it's early.

Hopefully it improves.

The show is ok so far. I like Nina, The Bride and the animation for Weasel surprisingly makes him come as funny and a bit cute and not an annoying and pointless vermin like in TSS. G.I. Robot could be a highlight too as long it's fleshed out beyond just being programmed to kill Nazis.

I wished the pace could be a little slower though to allow the characters and us to take a breath.

"Is a corpse human?" if it's made out from obviously human body parts and even resembles one then yes it is, Waller. As douchey as always.

Alexi is not funny, for not saying cringe. In fact most of the humor isn't really landing like it did in Guardians and does in Peacemaker. The schtick with Dr. Phosphorus about whether he's smiling or not can only take you as far.

I also believe in the fan theory that Illana is Clayface because something's wrong with her being too friendly and easily just getting clasified kind of information from Flag Sr. like how to keep in check the team. The Bride's noticed, but Flag Sr. is too light headed for her. I can only chalk it up to him still being very affected by the death of his son that he's emotionally vulnerable and she is clearing taking advantage of that.

Just like in how the Arkham City game there was the reveal Clayface took on the role of Joker the whole time for "the role of a lifetime", fooling Batman for the entire game I could see something like that happening here. Either way, Flag Sr. is being used.

However I am not feeling the soundtrack at all, it's a step down from Gunn's previous projects.

Especially in the 2nd episode during Bride vs Circe, too distracting from the action. And Circe could just do to the rest of the team what she did to Bride's arms and win, if this was one of those HISHE videos of course. :P

The heart breaking scene where The Bride started crying in pain at seeing Victor dead being interrupted by being shoved with running gag of Frankenstein stalking her through the different time periods right after she began to mourn him wasn't as funny as Gunn thinks it must've been on paper to cheer us up. It's like an above user said: overshadowed by a barrage of unfunny jokes or outrageous moments.

Just like he ruined Peacemaker's moment of sorrow when he was processing having just killed his father with the stupid remarks from Vigilante.

I suppose the story will pick up more in the 4th episode because I recall Gunn said that "it's the saddest thing that he's written" back in NYCC. It's either gonna be the past of what really happened with Weasel about the implications of whether he murdered or not those children or it'll be Dr. Phosphorus' past. Even if that will feel like a retcon or re-imagination because this character is originally a Batman villain.

It's hard to be disappointed when you don't expect great things from someone... but damn, it's possible.

Once again, Gunn shows off his unfunny humor, his apparent obsession with... men's underwear, his deep dedication to creating cringe moments (and dialogues), his sad and misunderstood characters... I expected all of this.
What I didn't expect was the poor and cheap quality of the animation.

I gave it 3 stars in the poll because, as I said, it was more or less what I expected but maybe I should have given less just for this



I'm sorry, but I don't understand how it could have occurred to someone that it would be a good or cool idea to spend money on those seconds of animation. 😬
