Topic: Creature Commandos

https://next-episode.net/creature-commandos

Based on the DC Comics.

The Creature Commandos are a fictional DC Comics team of military superhumans originally set in World War II.

Since Episode 01 was really boring I almost dropped this one. Luckily I decided to give Episode 02 a try and it went really good. Characters are interesting and it looks like each one will get a proper introduction.

Story is basic but decent enough.

I especially liked

The backstory of The Bride. Was well done and she is so far my favorite character.

When the others were waiting infront of the bathroom for Flag + Princess to finish, well done - very funny moment. I thought at first the main guard guy would freak out but I guess he is already used to it smile

The fight between The Bride and Circe was also well done, looked great.

Re: Creature Commandos

It was very James Gunn... which is one of the reasons I wonder what kind of Superman we're gonna get.

Re: Creature Commandos

He did not even get one of the Creature Commando line-ups from the comics; instead, he created his own and is now saying on his podcast that this is "canon" in the DC Universe.

It is indeed a weird way to start-off his DC Universe (I didn't miss anything, did I?).
But so far, James Gunn hasn't dissapointed me yet. With Guardians of the Galaxy, Suicide Squad and Peacemaker I was able to enjoy everything I haven seen from him.

Luckily for me, I don't know anything of the original line-up or the big plans for the new DCU, so right now I am just enjoying an adult-ish cartoon smile

Re: Creature Commandos

Hmm...look at who created it smile

He also wrote 8 episodes and directed 5 of them according to imdb...Peacemaker is literally his baby smile.

Wow. I Had no idea!

That’s pretty cool. Guess it gives him more authority to say that the justice league showing up at the end of peacemaker isn’t canon.

Re: Creature Commandos

The storytelling is well done however, the graphic violence and sexuality are my least favorite aspects of the show. It was fun to see Doc Magnus show up tho, shame that they didn't really go anywhere with him.

Re: Creature Commandos

Getting better with each episode, Episode 3 was awesome.

▼Spoiler

Although the episode was about G.I. Robot, the best part was Weasel and Dr. Phosphorus messing up Circe. Wasn't expectíng that at all smile

Re: Creature Commandos

Season finally was good. Really hope this gets a Season 2.

▼Spoiler

That monologue from Frankenmonster in the taxi was hilarious smile
Ninas story was very well done, really wish she would've survived - but you never know.

The end for the Princess was a bit anticlimatic though...also didn't really wrap things up - they could've revealed how exactly she planned on destroying the world.

I am also glad they brought back G.I. Robot...him, the Bride and Dr. Phosphorus make a great team.
