Jan Robert A Most episodes no more than 2 and a few 3. It was really not DCs Creature Commandos but just James Gunn imposing his characters on this as well. It could more or less be Guardians of the Galaxy, Suicide Squad or even Peacemaker. The jokes, language and violence were just the same. Bride, Frankenstein and Nina were lifted from Grant Morrison's SHADE team in Seven Soldiers, Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E and Final Crisis. GI Robot is classic obscure DC charater from Star Spangled War Stories, Weird War Tales and up until the Greg Rucka Checkmate series. It was another one sided use of a character and simply used as a gimmick for violence. The same with a love sick Rick Flagg Sr. who is part of driving the plot. Doctor Phosphorus is closer to his comic book version, but in the end comes across as another Alan Tudyk role. Amanda Waller is lifted from the Suicide Squad movies, and again is another voice for James Gunn. Princess Ilana Rostovic was a role for Maria Bakalova with no comic book version, and another typical James Gunn feature. In the intro James Gunn is the only real life person depicted, just as a Stan Lee cameo, and this is James Gunn-verse series and not a DC series. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/13/25 Full Review Amir S Hooray for the new DC - James Gunn Welcome and thank you for the cinematic universe, this is truly a funny, witty and excellent series that takes DC characters (who are not so well-known) and gives them cool backstories (for example, like Dr. Phosphorus and the Weasel or Nina), recommended for viewing for all comic book fans, and even for me, who is not a comic book fan - this is a good series that is a shame to miss. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/25 Full Review We'll Bring The P 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 Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/25 Full Review Liam C While I'm hesitant to call James Gunn the "saviour" of the DCU, you can't deny his ability to do these types of characters and stories justice. Creature Commandos takes the similar format of odd-ball characters in a story filled with humor and heartfelt moments that worked with Guardians and Peacemaker, but somehow makes it feel fresh, and executed brilliantly. The Bride is a fantastic take on the brusque exterior with hidden emotional depth, Phosphorous and Nina have truly compelling personal stories, and somehow, somehow, Weasel is transformed from an offputting oddity into a deeply tragic and loveable character. Supporting characters and overall writing and voice acting is absolutely A tier as well. At a time when the Marvel Universe burnout is real, this series left me itching for the next episode and I can't wait for a season 2. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/25 Full Review José Rafael j Destruíram completamente o personagem do Frankenstein, transformando-o em um "gado" que passa o tempo todo correndo atrás de sua noiva. Nas histórias originais (HQs), ele é o líder do grupo, retratado como um personagem inteligente, estratégico e forte. Na animação, no entanto, ele foi reduzido a um papel bobo, enquanto todos os seus poderes foram transferidos para a Bride, que agora é retratada como uma personagem superpoderosa, deixando-o irrelevante. Isso acaba desvalorizando sua essência e subverte o equilíbrio das narrativas clássicas. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/25 Full Review Travis M I enjoyed it, I was not familiar with the commandos but they were likable. The use of Rupert Thorn and Clayface was good. Frank grew on me. Bride better come to live action. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/25 Full Review Read all reviews
