Creature Commandos

AG! WHO ARE YOU?

    Creature Commandos is such a GLOG. In that, I mean it is about a modular, highly-lethal team of down-on-their-luck (imprisoned) weirdos. Sure, you’ve got the fairly standard honorable military leader character, Rick Flag, but you also have a murderhobo robot (but he only murders Nazis 😌), a fire elemental, a Gothic gunslinger, etc. You should watch it. Only seven episodes! I urge you to just try out the first two episodes.

WHAT? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

    It’s also watchable with basically no backstory needed. Sure, The Suicide Squad (2021) is a really good movie. And sure, Peacemaker, its sequel show, is a good, irreverent take on the cycle of trauma and toxic masculinity, but you don’t need to watch those to make sense of Creature Commandos. Suicide Squad but monsters. That’s it, that's the elevator pitch.

PLEASE LEAVE

    I have more spoiler-y thoughts, so I might write an analysis of the themes, both of the show overall and character-centric arcs. I’m not sure I’m going to post it for Internet People to look at, but if you watch/have watched it, let me know your thoughts about the show.

    It's not perfect, but I liked it.

ARE YOU GOING TO AT LEAST LEAVE SOMETHING GAMEABLE??

    No, fuck you, voice in my head.
