Following the attack on the fictional country of Pokolistan by the Amazonian sorceress Circe (Anya Chalotra), Waller puts a team together to protect the princess, consisting of the Bride of Frankenstein (Indira Varma), Doctor Phosphorus (Alan Tudyk), Nina Mazursky (Zoe Chao), G.I. Robot and Weasel (both voiced by Sean Gunn). Led by Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo), “Task Force M” begrudgingly sets on their mission rife with problems, particularly when Eric Frankenstein (David Harbour) shows up to “save” his Bride.
A spiritual sequel to 2021’s The Suicide Squad, Creature Commandos is the first official entry in the new DC Universe (DCU) created by James Gunn and Peter Safran, with the second entry being the new Superman later this year. The series is pretty much what anyone familiar with Gunn’s films would expect, as Creature Commandos follows the template of “rag-tag group of criminals or heroes forced to work together despite their differences” that Gunn established with Guardians of the Galaxy over 10 years ago and re-established with The Suicide Squad.
Balancing light and dark
Unlike his films, Gunn has more room to expand on the characters he has. Waller is roped into Task Force M, with most of the episodes focusing flashbacks on each individual member of the team. G.I. Robot, an android created to kill Nazis during World War II, receives a sombre series of flashbacks, while characters such as the anthropomorphic, unintelligible Weasel — who was brought back from the 2021 film — and the Bride have dark backstories, particularly the latter with Gunn’s not-so-subtle condemnation of “incel behaviour”.
Overall, it is a tightrope display of balancing between the edginess of Zack Snyder’s previous DC Cinematic Extended Universe and what made those early Marvel films fun. If Gunn keeps it up with the next DCU projects, maybe Warner Bros will finally find success in its DC Comics properties.
