This Is The Start of the DCU? | Creature Commandos Season 1!

This week we discussed the newly concluded Creature Commandos Season 1! We discuss James Gunn's formula and whether or not it still works and mostly if this is a strong start to the brand new DCU and if it'll play into the rest of it!
What are your thoughts on Season 1?

awesome episode guys! good pacing and you did your homework!!

[@thegotspod]

Thank you! I feel like we just complained but I appreciate it! Haha

@@thegotspod nah it was great

Bro this show was good. Not every single project is the same. That may be the formula but each show is its own different unique story. I can see where your suicide squad claim is coming from, but that’s how it’s supposed to be there in the same universe and situation. Side note: James gun has done plenty of diverse characters.

Thanks for your opinion Butterstar. The show was okay to me, but I’m glad to see someone defend it. I know there are people that enjoyed it. One of my issues connects with something you said. But (IMO) in a nutshell: why make this? We got 2 suicide squads and the peacemaker series. And they are the same thing. I don’t hate creature commandos and it’s an easy watch, but that’s all it is, again imo. I’m glad it made people happy tho.

Follow up: do you want a 2nd season? I’d be curious to see them incorporate more of the various monsters to pull from. I’d probably watch again if like, Dracula or wolf man got added.

@ I get what you mean man. All of it can feel so repetitive and not in need for more, and you’re valid for thinking that because it’s true and is a real issue. On the bright side, with the latest Superman project on its way we could see more branching out on gunns side. Another side note: one of the reasons why it can feel repetitive is because all the shows/movies are based on the comics.

[@ButterstarD1]

@ yeah that would be really fun. They actually have already confirmed a season 2 and has announced new teammates like a mummy and a bat lady (literally)

[@marcpope7069]

Right on! Good to know another season got picked up! I’m really hoping the Superman movie is a win: for Gunn, for the fans and for comic book movies in general!

Things I liked: David Harbour was great as Frank. The animation was pretty good. There were a few pretty good action scenes. Things I didn't like: I'm getting tired of the sympathetic/misunderstood villains. Sometimes, I just need my bad guys to be evil. I got Velma vibes from this show(not to that level). The show for mature audiences while having 6th grade humor

[@ButterstarD1]

@@jeremiahhall4083 those are some good aspects to appreciate all things considered.

[@marcpope7069]

Velma-vibes?! Zoinks! I agree tho. I think the voice acting overall was great. I liked some of the backstories too. Kinda comes off as a way to just tell the, “sad stories” of these sad creatures. If we get another season will they do that all over again 😂. Or will they let a monster be a monster? They played at it with Dr. Phosphorus but wouldn’t commit. It would actually be refreshing to see evil just be evil.

@ personally we got that with the princess

[@thegotspod]

Well said!

[@timeloopinteractive]

I'm not sure I'll ever watch this. I barely like stuff like Suicide Squad, and I've never loved DC's use of monsters. It's like thinking that comics are supposed to be funny books.

[@thegotspod]

Ahh man if you didn’t like Suicide Squad, this will be a tough watch for you. I’m in the same boat, definitely agree with you
