Creature Commandos

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.

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.

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'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.

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.
