As many DC Comics fans think James Gunn is coming Superman movie the elder DC Studios remakeThe comic book juggernaut technically launched at the end of last year with the release of its major movies, Creature Commandos.
The series, which aired its first season finale today on Max — modeled much of its oddball, C-to-D-tier villain team after Gunn’s version of Suicide Squad, and it not only proved to be an important first step in setting the tone for DC Studios moving forward, but also the return of a star to form a company returning to its roots in animation.
We liked: Amazing character writing
Like a lot A peacemaker and Guardians of the Galaxy, Creature Commandos‘ The strength lies in its unique characters and its various flaws. Each episode alternated between the group’s mission and the newcomers, highlighting the villain’s history and combining it with the current situation. Whether it’s the release of the Bride from Frankenstein who chased her, the Nazi’s murderous instructions for the GI Robot, or the truth about the murder of the Weasel’s baby, each player has an interesting story that defines them well as a person and reinforces Gunn’s theme of not judging a book by its cover. If ever there was an impulse to enter DC history, Creature Commandos it is the gateway for fans to immerse themselves in the game.
The needle is falling
Music remains important in summarizing and clarifying Gunn’s work Creature Commandos he chose to replace the expensive needlepoint with Eastern European folk music. However, Creature Commandos‘ Finger-singing music goes well with his style and style. Even so, Manhattan-based punk band Gogol Bordello has only gotten a chance to listen every month thanks to Gunn’s varied interests.
The actions took place at any time
Creature Commandos‘s first two-parter set the stage, hitting the stage with some super fun animation that got DC fans pumping their fists with the same fervor. Invincible and X-Men ’97 fans do. His remaining five episodes were no different. Everyone Creature Commandos the fight was bright and shiny, with stray weapons used as stage fright Mortal Kombat.
In addition, his type of killing and injuries were the kind of horror and brutality that only a movie show could have shown. You will laugh Dr. Phosphorous knocks out the tank as it passes through him and, by helping, melts the machine gun and its unconscious pilot, as you can change when he and Weasel hit the brakes on the almighty. A warrior Amazon.
We didn’t like: Some of the jokes fell flat
While many are clapping playfully Creature Commandos announced that DC Comics’ mythology and the variety of superheroes and villains can be amazing, the comics of this show don’t always turn out the way they want. The jokes that weren’t divisive or slow down the punches tended to poke fun at the sad parts of the comic book that were so outraged by right-wing ideas, or leaned on the idea of how Eastern European culture grows. pop culture is aimed at the average American. Comedy is subjective, so viewers differ. But it’s hard not to roll your eyes as you wait for the unchanging entertainers to make their way back to the plot of the show.
Cruel because of that
In accordance with Creature Commandos Embracing the iconic gems of DC’s mythology, Max’s big movie show has spared no expense in showing the brutality that humans are capable of – human or otherwise. To the credit of DC Studios, there were many difficult times during the preparation of the show and they engaged themselves with the attacker to come.
However, the show made it a little sad at times because of that. Whether it was showing human cruelty by having prostitutes beaten up by drunks, or having cameras show a disabled babushka being brutally murdered (when it wasn’t), Creature Commandos sometimes they come off as Hot Topic edgy because of it.
Last time to finish and laugh more to come
Design and modification of Creature Commandos he found a steady rhythm, going back and forth over time, expanding his band and advancing their career. But in the end, the show seemed a little lost. Although one can infer depth from the way the show tried to break down its parts, the look of a movie, it stuttered and didn’t just land.
In the classic comic books, the legendary stinger teased more of what was to come. Creature Commandos has been renewed for a second season, with new and returning characters that will pick up where the finale left off, but this wasn’t quite the finale it seemed to think it was. Instead of feeling changed, it felt safe.
All seven parts of the Creature Commandos Season one is streaming on Max. Part two is on the way.
