James Gunn has done it again, his style is still unmatched even after all this years and copycats along the way. The way he write characters has only improve in every new project he makes, he manages to balance goofy with tragic for every main character and villan, and this is the best example yet (with that crazy and heartbreaking final plot twist), especially Dr Phosporus and The Bride, they were totally the best characters in the entire show, not only as protagonist, but as a way to expand the DCU. One negative I have with the show is that the actual plot felt that it wasn't going anywhere until the final episode, and that Nina and Frankenstein didn't advance much as characters (aside from their flashbacks). Hopefully now that the team is already stablished, they will focus more on develop them more in future seasons.

I really liked this at the start. Funny, violent and exciting, with an entertaining collection of misfits.

But as it went forward, I began to have my doubts. The first issue is the basic structure, with each episode alternating between the story arc and the individual tragic backstories of the creatures. There was a sameness to it. It's not that the structure is inherently bad (Lost did a great job with it), it's just that these stories were both predictable and depressing. It's like Suicide Squad except half of them aren't even criminals, just victims stuck in a nightmare.

The series keeps getting darker, both in its horrific body count of innocent bystanders and well-meaning soldiers and in its stories, with the final one being just tragedy upon tragedy.

While Creature Commandos seemed like a lot of fun in the beginning, by the end most of the fun had been drowned in darkness.

I'm so bummed out after watching the final episode of season 1 that I'm hesitant to recommend this, but I guess I did enjoy it overall. Still, it's a disappointment from the generally on-point James Gunn.

I honestly have no complaints, other than I wish the episodes were longer.

The fact that this is an adult animated series is fantastic. Content like this gives DC an advantage with older audiences. Especially since Marvel is their competitor, and they're reluctant to engage in it, regarding TV shows and movies, as their soul is owned by the mouse. Family-friendly stuff can get old, and boring. Sometimes I want something that isn't intended for younger audiences.

I love all the characters, and their backstories so far. I thoroughly enjoy that they're not overused characters we've seen a thousand times before. I love the jokes, I love the dialogue. I love the animation, artwork, and character designs. I love the voice actors. The story is intriguing, and I'm always excited and anticipating the next episode. I definitely recommend the series. I love what James Gunn is providing.

I really, really hope that this is renewed for a second season, and continues on after that.

Just 3 episodes in and i am already hooked. They have done a great job with the casting, voice acting, writing, and even music. Not only are they great songs, but they are appropriate and build on the story. Within the few episodes i have seen, characters have already developed depth and personality. As of yet, they are giving less emphasis on the main plot, in order to tell each characters background, this will continue to drive their development as a team and as individuals. Which in my opinion, is a great way to start. While this happens, i don't even notice how little the main plot progresses, The series is full if comedic relief, nut you can also feel yourself getting attached to the characters. They are not perfect or boring. II definitely recommend this show, and am excited to see where it goes.

Thanks for readin. I hope it convinces you to give it a go. I don't think you will be the least bit disappointing.

"Creature Commandos" (2024, 7.7/10) opens a new chapter in the DC cinematic universe under James Gunn's direction, introducing viewers to an animated series where humor and action blend with a dark yet vibrant world of superheroes and monsters. The plot follows a team of unusual creatures assembled by Amanda Waller to carry out secret missions, placing them in dangerous situations and moral dilemmas.

One of the series' main strengths lies in its visuals. The animation, created by the French studio Bobbypills, is impressive in quality: dynamic action scenes, expressive character design, and stylish visualization make each episode a spectacle. The soundtrack, featuring energetic tracks like those from Gogol Bordello, perfectly complements the atmosphere, adding drive and emotional tension.

The voice cast and dialogues emphasize James Gunn's signature style, familiar from his work on Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad. While the story remains engaging despite some overloaded subplots, it occasionally feels shallow in developing individual characters. This is particularly evident when the focus shifts to secondary storylines that don't directly impact the main conflict.

Verdict: Creature Commandos is a stylish and entertaining start for the renewed DC universe, combining high-quality animation, humor, and thrilling action. Despite a few shortcomings, the series is a worthy representative of its genre and is sure to appeal to both comic book fans and enthusiasts of dynamic and vivid animated projects.

I've watched all of James Gunn's superhero movies and shows, and for better or for worse, Creature Commandos is his weakest. But it's James Gunn...so it's still LEAGUES better (pun intended) than almost any other creator's rough project!

Creature Commandos season 1 is more Suicide Squad, and if that is your cup of tea you are probably going to love it! James Gunn's Suicide Squad movie is my favorite superhero movie of all time, so this show is right up my alley. That said, with only about 25 minutes per episode, and only 7 episodes altogether, it feels like the story is a bit threadbare and could use some space to breathe. I feel like Creature Commandos would have been an easy 9 out of 10 for me if each episode had been an hour with more time to develop the characters.

The Bride, Nina, Weasel, and GI Robot are definitely the stand out characters here! And the four of them have more memorable moments and cooler story beats than the other Commandos. Eric Frankenstein feels like an unnecessary addition and doesn't really do anything for me being in the show.

Overall solid solid first season!! Season finale is definitely the best episode and very emotional! Great reveal at the end and good set up for future stories. Hopefully the second season gets more episodes.

For real, this is what happens when James Gunn is left entirely to his own devices. And it is magnificent. Ridiculously entertaining, beautiful in all its familiar levels of horrifyingly gory esteem and general narrative credibility. I'd have to say this dissuaded all my concerns about the DCU moving forward. I am utterly impressed with Gunn's creativity and the broader concept he is presenting with this series.

Above all, this show brings back what I loved about The Suicide Squad; the raw chaos and unadulterated talent wrapped in a ball that ignores rules for superhero movies entirely. Subverts every genre, dials nearly every trope up to eleven, whilst keeping others downplayed; so subtle you need to pay attention, or you might miss a brilliant joke. Intelligent yet accessible.

This dude is truly the greatest thing to happen to DC Studios. Ever.

It's a pretty interesting beginning to the rebooted DC universe (and someone doesn't even know what it is)

James Gunn, known for a number of good film comedies, was responsible for the script of the project, in which he always knew how to find a balance between dramatic and comedic elements. This series is no exception.

The story itself has a filler character, but at the same time the characters presented are perfectly revealed thanks to flashbacks. In fact, every episode starting with 2 concerns a new character, which perfectly dilutes the main storyline.

I was also pleased with the selection of music. What's during the screensaver, what's during the narration. Everything sounds fun and cheerful.

It is DC animation so you always have no expectations from them but James Gunn is a genius who wrote this shoe well. I doubted that he could guide this sinking ship to the shore but I was wrong. This is his first work for DC and I am impressed with the way he told stories of all characters. It is full of heart and empathy. He understood the job and executed it very well on the screen. I hope he can build a studio that makes better DC animations and not what we are watching from 80s cartoon shows. I am glued to this series and hope to see it end with a banger. This gives me a lot of hope for the DC's future and for Superman especially. If you know how to write a story well you can create a bunch of misfits into a great show and Creatures Commandos is a good example of it. Especially when we're fed loads of crap by Hollywood seeing such rare gems is what makes us hopeful for a better future.

Creature Commandos kicks off the DCU with a fun but familiar adventure in animation. It is a very adult series, with graphic violence and adult situations abound. The animation looks great while the voice cast shines with no one feeling out of place (even with the over the top accents).

The only issues we found came from the very short run (seven, 22-26 minute episodes) that left us really wanting it to be longer. There will also be some that may not be able to get past the fact that it's basically Suicide Squad 2.0, but the monsters add an interesting twist to the formula and the tragic backstories to these characters helps carry the emotional weight.

Overall, Creature Commandos is a fun first entry into the new DCU and although it does follow the Suicide Squad formula pretty closely, it does just enough to set itself apart. We look forward to more in season 2.

Brad: 7 Josh: 7 Final: 7.

I've always loved the DC universe and while I think the DCEU was overhated, I was very disappointed with several of the DCEU projects. This series has fantastic characters and is extremely creative. I think when James Gunn says that superhero movies and tv have become too generic, that's the key right their. Their have been so many superhero movies in the last decade that when people see a new one has come out they don't go to theaters because they think "another superhero movie geez their have been way too many" as their all the same, just a generic action movie (Especially sequals) I think James gunn is really going to turn things around and I cannot wait for it. I also think that because marvel has been much more popular, DC has a lot of great characters who have been overlooked (by fans) and I think if everything in DC works out in it's next couple of years then lesser known characters will be able to do well at the box office as long as they can grasp people's attention and really have a special feel to them. But yeah this was a great start and I only see it getting better from here.

This show is awesome so far, I almost left a review after two episodes and I'm so glad I didn't because I would have been wrong. I almost said the show isn't going anywhere and lacks a storyline. After watching 6 episodes that is absolutely not true. They do such an amazing job of giving a backstory on each of the Commandos that I find myself wanting to watch more of each individual and get more information. I knew nothing about any of these characters besides Weasel and a few guest characters which makes this a lot more interesting because I'm learning about them as the show goes on. Every character has been entertaining in their own right so far but David Harbour as Frankenstein has definitely stole the show. Looking forward to more.

I know some would say they're tired of the formula of a lovable group of misfits but what sets its apart is definitely the characters. The episodes are structured like mini backstories for each characters as it propels the main plot forward before everything goes haywire and this mini origins have been so good they are charming, passionate, and have a wild sense of psychotic beauty but mostly heartbreaking and tragic, really makes you come to care about each characters and also it's done as such a perfect pace not to fast or to slow if anything it's a little snappy but it never drags also action is placed oh so perfectly in a chaotic mess of monster mayhem and each episode feels unique and shut highly recommended if you love odd ball comic characters and are curious to explore more of dc lore a bit of a tear jerker though is the best way.

Creature Commandos doesn't break any new grounds, and it doesn't intend to. This is classic James Gunn as we've come to expect with a few twists and changes, if you like his style of storytelling, you're gonna get a lot out of this show. If you don't, you may find it a bit lackluster and underwhelming. Some jokes get used too much and much of this story is spent in flashbacks which while are interesting and serve to flesh out these characters in a really great way just kind of show that not much is really happening a lot of the time for the characters in the present. The plot is a little dull in some episodes, and is carried heavily by comedy, which might not land for everyone.

The main strengths of this show are in comedy carried by the strong cast of voices and the incredibly kinetic and violent action sequences which are animated spectacularly. By the time two certain characters meet up, this show becomes absolutely hilarious and the plot is heavily carried by their dynamic. Thanks to the amazing voice actors, I was never quite bored by the plot because the characters were so much fun to see.

Although this show suffered from not having enough time to properly flesh out its plot, it's still a damn fun watch that I'd reccomend to anyone looking for a bite sized and fun story to sink your teeth into while you wait for DC to release other stuff.

It is a fast-paced, 7-episode animated series adapted from DC Comics that packs a punch with its crisp storytelling and unique character introductions. The blend of humor, action, and backstories-told parallel to the present-day plot-keeps things engaging without disrupting the flow. The animation style stands out, and the background score adds the perfect vibe to the chaos.

While there's a lot to enjoy, the series feels a bit rushed. The story moves so quickly that some moments don't get the depth they deserve. Being a series, it had room to breathe, but instead wraps up a little too hastily, leaving a sense of something missing.

Still, it's an entertaining watch-fresh, fun, and a promising entry into DC's universe.

Following similar story beats to The Suicide Squad, we join up with a ragtag team of imprisoned monsters sent on assignment.

Positives: *Character focused.

*No need to do any homework and watch 50 hours of movies to know what's going on. We're beginning a new DC Studios universe.

*Action has decent choreography and is easy to follow.

*Animation style is fresh, and works really well for the story being told.

Mixed: -Gunn's humor often feels forced with dated references and quippy dialogue asides.

-Not my favorite needle drops considering his talent to find the right feel.

Last things: -I wasn't expecting a new formula for the superhero genre to emerge, but I've seen this type of show many times before.

-If you're here for a little fun without any real stakes yet, then you'll enjoy.

-In the era of the Spider-verse films, Arcane, Blue-eyed Samurai, and X-Men 97', I need more emotional investment and when episode 2 ended, I didn't care the rest weren't yet available.

Overall: 6/10 (with potential to rise or fall) Bingeable? Not yet.

DC is in good hands. Loved it. James gunn knows what is he doing. I loved how he brought importance to lesser known characters. The animation field of DC has always been strong. I want to see what he will do with superman. I am also excited for the Nightwing and Red hood team up animated movie. This show is under rated.

More people should watch this. The designs were so good. The backstories are explored really well.

The cast especially David Harbour did a great job. Doctor phosphorus was so cool. I am really excited to see all of these characters in live action. I hope they appear in Peacemaker season 2🤞🤞

The DCU is off to a great start with theese C Listers. It really is. I Don t care much for the Justice League members but here i am looking forward to more Superman in July now and more Peacemaker too. Thank you James Gunn. Keep it up.

Here s hoping we won t get any contradictions to The Suicide Squad 2021 and Peacemaker season 1. Also keep Matt Reeve s Batman in his own universe.

Soon to come: Superman, The Brave and the Bold ( aka Batman & Robin), Supergirl, Peacemaker season 2.

Please watch Redlettermedia, folks.

Here s my laundry list: noodles, chocolate, coffee, drinking water, novels by Robert Harris.

Based on the commercial for this series, for me it was highly anticipated with excitement to see DC have a bunch of monsters in one team. As I watch the two episodes, I feel quite confused, way too rushed where I am not fully getting a story. The action is there, but some of the characters voices seem quite boredom. I am not happy there will be 7 episodes for one season. This needs to be 14-24 for one season. What's next, one episode per season? I like the idea of a team but I want to have a better understanding to feel engaged with the characters but not feel rushed and lost in the show. Reading the comics is one thing but the main issue with DC, they don't let you enjoy the characters enough to understand what they are going through in the series or movies. I hope they make season 2 better and I will continue to watch this show. James Gunn, let me love this show and the characters more and stop rushing a project that can be fantastic.

Honestly not amazing start sadly wasn't impressed though not bad but not good either pretty weak start to the DCU sadly. Still interested in Superman 2025. Hopefully It gets better but the two episodes that are out wasn't great and jokes weren't really funny surprising because I love James Gunn guardians of the Galaxy films and enjoyed Peacemaker and his TSS 2021 was fine but creature commandos I was excited for but sadly was disappointed although it's 2 episodes I hope it gets better. Frank Grillo does an ok job the two only characters I enjoyed was Alan Tudky as Dr phosphorus and Sean Gunn as G. I. Robot the rest haven't impressed me.

This was the best start to a new franchise ever, with an unknown team full of misfits you have no doubt that this would be bad, this was definitely an adventure you would want to see over and over, James Gunn has clearly named himself the king of comic book adaptations, even to a team that was supposed to be for WW2 but this time in a heartbeat I am forever in his debt for another one of his amazing creation and mind, I cannot wait for what has he in store for us, giving us the true justice of DC without a doubt I will be sitting on the first row seat of the films and the seat of my chair at home, James Gunn if you see this, I am there 100%

#DCUFOREVER.

I just finished the last episode and I can say that my favorite part was the construction of the series using a number of episodes that I thought would be low but that worked perfectly, using the first one as an introduction and the other six for each of the creatures, exploring their pasts without delaying the present progress of the series was just... perfect.

And the best part about learning about their past is that it's not all "He didn't deserve it 😭." Some are guilty, others are wronged and there are those who did no harm to anyone, and it is this diversity that makes us understand that we are observing more than bloodthirsty beings.

I'm truly looking forward to the second season, seeing what Flag's return and the new creatures on the team will be like. Because Gunn has already proven that he is the right guy for it.
