Best or Worst Start to a New DCU? Creature Commandos Ep 1 & 2 Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 фев 2025
- The first couple episodes of Creature Commandos have released and they finally signal an official start to James Gunn's DC Universe. But is it a promising start? It's certainly a unique way to begin and already teases a grim fate for David Corenswet as Superman. Mr Sunday Movies and Maso review the first two eps on The Weekly Planet podcast (ep 555). Thanks for listening!

I know it's kind of just a single note to the character but G.I. Robot going on about wanting to fight nazis is very funny to me. Just a charming robo guy.
He's gonna go to a pride boys march I bet xD
Yeah I like that they’re actually making him a robot. Every time a robot is part of the main characters they speak as if their programming is “be a quirky human”
Him identifying the jenga tower as a swastica made me laugh out loud
His voice is also really charming lol
I'm really enjoying the show so far. Episode 1 was pretty good, but Episode 2 was great! That backstory of the Bride really got things rolling for me. I'm liking Grillo as Flag Sr., too - not as stereotypically gruff as I expected, which is good. Now I'm curious to see G.I. Robot and Weasel's backstories.
None of it was anything special even a little
@@NnullX ok
@@Mirakulus9i wish I could do what u just did
Really? I honestly saw her backstory laughed at how garbage it was then stopped watching the show I’ve never seen something so garbage before animation wise at least truly awful
Why is the Bride's backstory bad?
I guess Frank Grillo is 14 years older than Joel Kinnerman. So it’s not as much of a stretch, since he states he had his son at 18
The DCU continuity is basically James Gunn’s DCEU’s work minus the Justice League cameo at the end of Peacemaker. Makes it easier to follow when you look at it from that perspective since his work was already disconnected to begin with.
+ maybe possibly Blue Beetle?
Well no the harley Quinn stuff probably didn't happen
Except from the links of suicide squad with joker etc which link to Batman and the flash movies
@@ozby11I believe he said that’s loose canon just like the stuff he made himself. So if it contradicts that aspect isn’t canon but if it doesn’t it counts
@GreenFordeFilms it probably did, since she probably already exists in this universe
It is kinda funny that you mentioned the invincible teasers cuz they were done by the same people that animated Creature comandos
According to James Gunn, if an event is mentioned in the DCU, it’s considered canon. So essentially, The Suicide Squad (2021) and Peacemaker Season 1 (2022) happened in this universe, likely in a very similar way, though there may be a few changes or differences. But everything else, such as the Justice League related content did not happen, naturally we'll be seeing new versions of all those characters in the DCU with new history, Superman being the perfect example.
The events of Man of Steel (2013), including Superman revealing himself to the world for the first time, Zod’s arrival, and the Black Zero Event that nearly destroyed Metropolis and claimed thousands of lives, never happened in the new DCU. Similarly, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021), and their respective individual films, such as Wonder Woman (2017), are no longer part of the new continuity.
We’ll also be getting a fresh version of Metropolis, hopefully with a more Art Deco and retro-futuristic aesthetic, as the DCEU never truly did Metropolis justice. Additionally, it’s likely that Gotham and Metropolis will no longer be located right next to each other across the bay, as they were in the DCEU. As for Superman, it’s safe to assume he’ll already be active during this time. Superman: (2025) isn’t an origin film, so while he might still be relatively new to the world, he could have been operating as far back as the events of Creature Commandos.
For me, it doesn't matter too much that Gunn is pulling from only his own work, since those films felt so disconnected from the DCEU, embracing a more comic book feel in their tone, art direction, and costume design. They felt like the complete opposite of what Zack Snyder was building with his darker, grittier take on the DC universe. Meanwhile, Gunn is over here introducing Starro the Conqueror, who faces off against a colorful squad of villains who look like they're pulled straight from the comics.
Though Zack Snyder, of course, pulled heavily from the comics as well, he simply applied his own style to it. We had Parademons, Steppenwolf, Darkseid, off-brand Doomsday, etc. So, he pulled from the more fantastical, sci-fi elements too but layered a more New 52 style over them. Meanwhile, Gunn embraces the more Grant Morrison-inspired New 52 stories, which brought DC closer to its classic counterparts by removing some of the edge and darkness but still felt modern and unique. Grant Morrison's work on the New 52 Superman is a perfect example.
TL;DR
@@chrissadler6459if they are mentioned, they happened, if they're aren't, they didn't
CREATURE COMMANDOS is like issue #0 of the DCU.
This is more a spin-off of his THE SUICIDE SQUAD than a DCU entry, given that he was doing it BEFORE he became DCU co-head.
6:40 The studio who does the Invincible teasers are the guys who made this show!!
I love the 2 episodes that are out so far. Cant wait for the next ones
Well I heard a rumor that this show is being worked on by the people who did the promo for invincible and they've just been giving a lot of time to work on the show since this was being made pre James Gunn DC takeover
I’m excited. I like the action. I think it’s really well animated and the art direction is good for the most part.
The fight between the bride and Circe was really cool
You guys talked about the promo of Invincible, which is generally better quality, well that is not done by the same studio that makes the main Invincible episodes... but coincidentally is the studio making Creature Commandos, Aka Bobbypills (mostly known as "that one cartoon p*rn studio").
There’s an entire studio for cartoon porn? TF?
The great thing about James Gunn's writing is that even when the jokes don't land, it still doesnt take you out because it doesnt go against what the character would normally say anyways. I find like 40% of the jokes in Guardians funny but it's still one of the best marvel movies by far.
Just realized The Bride basically has Huey’s face from The Boondocks.
No, Weasel did, in fact, kill 27 children, but they were the children of the Corn Coblin, so he's not a bad dude at all.
1) FLASH showed that a MULTIVERSE exists. James Gunn’s DCU exists, alongside #SnyderVerse and #DCEU. WATCHMEN and #ArrowVerse exist in there as well, among OTHER things.
2) THE SUICIDE SQUAD is partially canon.
3) PEACEMAKER is like 95% canon.
4) BLUE BEETLE seems like it SEEMS like it was canon. At least the actor will STILL play Jaime Reyes/Blue Beetle. However, we won’t be seeing Jaime until Ted Kord is introduced by Gunn or whatever.
I think it was good! But I can see why people won't like this, excessive hornyness isn't always a bad thing if it services a story; but there was a LOT for just two episodes; and ye I'm sure a lot of the 'gunn jokes' wont land for everyone. Still looking forward to see where this goes!
I watch porn to get off. Like any normal person. :J
Gunn will not be the Stan Lee lol it wasnt even his idea to be in the opening credits.
Loved the first 2 episodes looking forward to seeing more 🔥
The showrunner for this, who put the animated Gunn in the credits, was also the showrunner for the Harley Quinn animated show, which also included an animated version of Gunn... which is weird. Is this guy like a major suck up? No shade on Gunn because he is getting older, but the animated version looks a little more flattering.
@Michael_Ian_Blackface Not sure. In the Harley Quinn show they used plenty of real life celebrities so that seems like a coincidence. But it could be they are a suck up, maybe they just like breaking the 4th wall who knows
I loved creature commandos soooo good! . Loved it 🔥 I can't wait for the rest of the DCU !! I'm really excited for super man .
I enjoyed both episodes
Just commenting to mention David Harbour also played Frankenstein’s monster and Dr. Frankenstein in the fantastic Netflix thing: Frankenstein’s Monster’s Monster, Frankenstein
I liked it and I think it will get better 😁
I effing loved Human Target. Esp s1. Was so cool.
how are the bringing Rick Flag back in Peace Maker?
It's okay to just say the scene between the bride and Dr. Frankenstein was entirely unnecessary and should have just been tastefully implied. The moment the bride showed interest in him when they fell together was all they needed. Also, it was justifiable as some weird Freudian perspective. They didn't even need to say he was sleeping with her, could have left it at "shes attracted to him and Frankenstein kills him because of it ." Instead, they degrade the entire sequence and make it significantly less sophisticated by including some degenerate scene. Stop treating audiences like we can't put two and two together. There are some things that even in an animated series don't need to be shown, and that's one of them.
100% and it’s going to be impossible for me to like Frankenstein’s monster for the rest of the series now
I wholeheartedly agree. It felt very “we’re cool & adult & we are gonna show it”
@@xNewSidxyou mean Eric? I don’t think we’re supposed to like him
@ I didn’t catch his name, thanks.
I disagree. I like how Gunn doesn't shy away from sex and violence. It's strange to me how people are so puritanical about sex in animation, but don't care about seeing blood and guts.
0:13 😂😂😂😂😂😂
creature commandos is surprisingly bad imo-- I'm very worried about superman now:(
Obv the best
Hi, you say animation is free, will you animate my book please?
AI voice overs have the same problem with emphasis and pronunciation. Just saying.
I’m totally down for James Gunn being the new Stan Lee.
3:27 proceeds to do origin stories for each episode 😂
Said he doesn't want to retell origin stories for famous characters whose origins everybody already knows.
Since when do audiences know GI Robot really well?
So it looks like this show has the same problem many other adult animated works have; the freedom to have gore, profanity, sex and nudity means they end up being juvenile about it. For me, if a show wants to be thought of as adult, it needs to act like an adult.
Also wasn't a fan of the Sons of Themyscira, because they're just strawmen. That's literally all they are; just as many negative stereotypes of right-wing they could cram in so the show could laugh at them. And the logic to explain why they're attacking is awful. They want to invade Themyscira for all the women, so they're invading a completely different country? Because Circe ordered them to before she'll help them? They could've replaced the SoT with an insurrection group, trying to overthrow the monarchy. Or soldiers trying to perform a coup because they didn't like Ilana's policies. Or an invasion by another country. Just anything with more meat to them than just 'we're misogynists angry that women are telling us what to do'.
Another misfit team just doesn’t interest me that much. The humor has been not that good to me so far. I’m going to continue to watch but not really liking it that much.
What channel is full of hatred trying to put this man heart and soul to a new franchise
Amenda Waller is the only character to carry on from DCEU to DCU with the actress as well. Basically she's casually dimension hopping.
Gunn shoehorned his wife into that pointless Shazam 2 post-credits scene, don’t think she isn’t coming along for the jump-over.
@@daschwah Gunn has said multiple times he didn't put his wife in that post credit scene lol
@BusterBarnes Right. In fact, he said he has no idea why Harcourt and Economos would have anything to do with recruiting for the JSA in that post credits scene.
Anyone else starting to get Elon Musk vibes from James Gunn
Trash, the world doesnt even know dc has started lmao
《James Gunn's New MCDCU》
..."So, tha's it? What? We some kinda Suicide Creature Commando Squad?"...
...you had me at "uhhh, let's move it along"...
👽 🖖 🤖
Snoozefest with garbage boring writing tf was gunn thinking making this garbage 💀
James Gunn is probably just going to get fired. They hired him to make billion dollar movies about Superman and Batman, and instead he's making cartoons about Frankenstein. This isn't going to last long.
I mean there is a Superman movie coming out. DC's brand has been pretty scuffed by lots of mixed releases, and Marvel is looking rough for the same reason. I'm willing to bet they wouldn't have signed him on if they didn't know it was going to be Quality over Quantity.
The head of WB Animation asked Gunn to make this show before he even got the job as the head of DC Studios. It was already in the works as an animated sequel spinoff to TSS and Peacemaker.
Good thing there’s a Superman movie coming out next year, and a Batman movie sometime after that.
The first theatrical movie is Superman 🤣💀
worst take ever, tell me you know nothing about DC without telling me
Hard pass on James Gunn’s DCU
Idk after coming off of the penguin this show is extremely boring. Then only being 20 minutes an episode? Slow and boring to me.
I hope every video from now on ends with an abrupt change in direction to "it's time to go" 🫶🏽
