But with that out of the way, quick to the NoPrize! A No Prize is an award Marvel used to
give out to fans. Our version, the Dynamic DuelNo Prize, is a digital award we post on Instagram
for the person that we feel gave the best answerto our question of the week. What Marvel or

(03:37):
DC theatrical film are you most looking forwardto in 2025? You basically had four options.
There's Captain America Brave New World, Thunderbolts,Superman, and Fantastic Four First Steps. We
got three answers this week, so let's go aheadand break down the honorable mentions as well
as the no prize winner. Our first honorablemention goes to Mike Williams, who said, I'm

(04:01):
very interested to see the new Captain Americamovie. to see what role the Red Hulk's gonna
play, and also how General Thunderbolt lossis connected with the Thunderbolt movie that
will be coming out later this year. Anyway,as always, make mine Marvel. Take care. Yeah,
Captain America Brave New World, I believe thetickets actually went on sale already. I'm

(04:25):
really looking forward to that movie, mostlyfor the appearance of Red Hulk and the leader.
I kind of feel like they maxed out the coolnessfactor of Sam Wilson in the Falcon and the
Winter Soldier television series and all ofhis appearances from Captain America the Winter
Soldier and Civil War. We've seen a lot of whathe can do already. So I find myself more drawn
toward the villains of Captain America BraveNew World than the hero. That being said, I'm

(04:48):
excited Sam's getting his own movie. Yeah, I'mpretty excited to see this as well, especially
after the last trailer that we received. Westill don't know too much about the story,
I feel, but visually and action wise, it lookslike the movie is going to be incredible. If
it can capture the same spirit as Captain Americathe Winter Soldier, I think we're in for quite
the treat in a few weeks. Great answer Mike!Our next honorable mention goes to... Miggy

(05:11):
Mathingian who said... Hey what's up guys thisis Miggy and like Lizzie said in the Discord
server, there's only one right answer this week.It's Superman. It's going to be so good. It's
going to be everything that you want in a Supermanmovie. Characterizes the hero really well.
And it's the only movie you should be lookingforward to. this year because Marvel sucks.

(05:32):
It's dying. Just let it die. You know, likeit's been dead. Why are you still trying to
hang around? Stop it. That's right. Marvel isdead. Bury it. Consider this mercy. I think
Deadpool and Wolverine would probably disagreethere. I mean, the movie made over a billion
dollars. Okay. Marvel's not dead. Marvel isthriving. The Captain America movie is gonna

(05:55):
be awesome. And like, Mickey's over here talkingabout how the Superman movie is gonna be everything
you want from a Superman movie. Like, he's seenthe film. What if it doesn't have everything
you want from a Superman movie? What if yourexpectations are too high, my friend? Not possible.
Superman is gonna nail it out of the park. Icannot wait to see it. It's gonna be the next
best Superman movie since Superman the movieand Man of Steel. Jonathan, do you remember

(06:21):
everything you were saying about Batman vs Supermanbefore that film came out? Hey, hey, the extended
edition was everything I wanted. Do you remembereverything you were saying about Joker 2 before
that film came out? Too soon, man. Too soon.Great answer, Miggy. But the winner of this
week's snow prize is Kat Stevenson, who said,Hi, guys, it's Kat Stevenson here. And the

(06:45):
theatrical release that I am most excited foris Pedro Pascal. I mean, Fantastic Four First
Steps. I'm so excited to see Pedro Pa- I mean,the Fantastic Four finally get a good rendition.
Like with Pedro Pa- I mean, Mr. Fantastic, Galactus,Silver Surfer, the really cool rendition of
Pedro Pa- I mean, the thing. Everything looksso good and I am so excited for Pedro Pa- I

(07:10):
mean, the Fantastic Four to come to the MC-Sounds like someone's really excited about
the casting of Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards,Mr. Fantastic in the Fantastic Four movie coming
out this summer. I will be honest, and I thinkI've said it when he was cast and that was
announced last year, I'm not thrilled aboutPedro Pascal as Mr. Fantastic, but I do like

(07:32):
him as an actor and I do think he could pulloff the role. Yeah, the reason we mostly chose
this as our no-prize win is because we've hadgood We've had good Superman movies, but I
feel like we have yet to get a good FantasticFour movie. Yeah, I'm really hoping that this
will be the case. I'm really looking forwardto seeing Galactus done correctly on the big

(07:53):
screen. I think the scale of that characterin theaters is just going to be mind-blowing.
I hope it is. And I really like the rest ofthe cast as well. So here's hoping that the
spirit of the Fantastic Four comics is trulyrepresented on film. You know, they've had
multiple goes at it from the 90s movie thatdidn't get released. The early 2000s franchise
with Jessica Alba and of course, Fanta 4 Stick,which came out in the 20 teens. They gotta

(08:18):
get it right this time. I think they will. Yeah,to go from one of the worst superhero movies
to an actually good Fantastic Four movie wouldbe the greatest comeback in the history of
comic book franchises. Maybe, maybe. What I'mhoping is that... It turns a lot of people
on to the Fantastic Four. Like, I don't thinkthey have many fans, especially because their
films have done so poorly. So I'm hoping thatthe characters become A-list names in households

(08:40):
just like the Avengers have. That would be bestcase scenario. I guess we'll see. Great answer,
Cat. You win this week's No Prize. If you'rethe listener, want a shot at winning your own
No Prize, stay tuned to later on in this episodewhen we'll be asking another question of the
week. And now that that's done, onto the news.

(09:01):
This past week we got the official trailer forthe upcoming Daredevil Born Again television
series that's coming out on Disney Plus in justa few months on March 4th. And damn, this show
looks good. Like I don't know what they hadplanned before the whole series retooling,
but whatever they did really worked becausethis show looks not just like a great continuation

(09:22):
of the Netflix series, it looks even more set.in the superhero world. That was my big takeaway
from it because we got a lot of shots that reallyseem to immerse the character more in the comic
book world of Marvel than he's ever been becausewe see things like you know multiple costumes
that he's worn including homages to his graybattle suit and his yellow costume and things

(09:42):
like that but we also got glimpses of othercharacters like Muse, White Tiger, The Punisher.
It looks like a really exciting time. It's hardfor me to fathom how they could follow up the
masterpiece that was Daredevil season three.And I have to say, after seeing this trailer,
this is the first hope I've had that they couldactually do that. Yeah, I don't need Daredevil

(10:05):
born again to surpass the quality of Netflix'sDaredevil season three because in my mind that
was almost perfection and it was the perfectcap on that run. That being said, I do think
it'll come close. It may not be a perfect season,but I think it's highly unlikely drop the ball
on this, you know, I think we're looking toget like penguin levels of good here, but with

(10:30):
actual superheroics and vigilante fighting.The action looks almost more brutal than what
we got in Netflix. Yeah, I do have to say though,I feel bad for the villain of Muse, not because
he's a good guy or anything, he's a piece ofshit. But he just gets his ass kicked left
and right nonstop in this trailer. There's atleast like four different shots of Daredevil

(10:53):
just beating the ever loving shit out of him.And I hope it doesn't quite go down like that
in the actual show. I hope there's an actualgood fight there to be had. Is Muse the guy
who Murdoch slams the bottle on his eye andthen like kicks in his knee cap? No, that's
a different guy. Daredevil's kicking some assin this trailer for sure. I wonder if Daredevil

(11:13):
and Hector Alaya aka White Tiger are gonna fightin this show. That'll be pretty interesting.
And I'm wondering how they're gonna bring backFrank Castle into the fold. as another vigilante
warrior. I'm wondering how they're going tobring Bullseye into the fold, because I can't
wait to see his return. Oh, man, Bullseye wasso good in Daredevil season three. Yeah. It's
just even if the show ends up not being good,all the elements are there for it to be incredible,

(11:38):
especially this diner discussion between MattMurdock and Wilson Fisk, who becomes the mayor
of New York during the course of the season.It just seems so epic in the way that like
Robert De Niro and Al Pacino spoke in Heat.or something like that, you know? These two
iconic characters coming together and just theirdiscussion. Yeah, they're speaking like they're

(11:59):
old exes or something like that. But of coursewe know the nature of their past relationship
and it's as brutal as it gets. Yeah, they'resworn mortal enemies, but they do seem to have
some respect for each other as it appears here,which is always interesting. Well, it appears
like each character has kind of moved on. Like,Wilson Fisk is moving out to be mayor and it
sounds like Matt Murdock hasn't been Daredevilin a while. So it's going to be interesting

(12:21):
to see how they make their return to superheroand super villain lives. Yeah, when Kingpin
asks Matt Murdock why he stopped being Daredevil,Matt Murdock mentions that a line was crossed.
And towards the end of the trailer, he mentionshow he was raised to believe in grace, but
he was also raised to believe in retribution.And I wonder if that's one of the key themes
of this season, is him really struggling withcrossing the line due to his rage and how that

(12:45):
correlates with his Catholic faith, which hasalways been. big aspect of the character and
one of the things that makes him truly unique.If you guys haven't caught up on Netflix startable
seasons 1 through 3, I highly recommend youdo so before this next season drops because
there's a lot of history with these charactersand it's such a damn good show it's well worth
catching up on. Yeah, absolutely. But speakingof quality television shows, that brings us

(13:09):
to our question of the week.
What Marvel or DC television series are youmost looking forward to in 2025? This is sort
of a play on last week's question, but insteadof theatrical releases, we want to know what
series you're most looking forward to seeingat home. Yeah, for Marvel, they're really seeing

(13:30):
Your Friendly Neighborhood, Spider-Man and thenDaredevil Born Again and then Ironheart is
coming out this year, as well as Eyes of Wakanda,Marvel Zombies and Wonder Man. There's not.
Too much more going on for DC. Of course, wehave Harley Quinn season five coming up. We
might be getting new seasons for My Adventureswith Superman, Batman Caped Crusader, and possibly

(13:54):
Creature Commandos, but also a new series onAmazon titled Bat Family. Oh, is that the sequel

Be sure to answer before January 25th.
That does it for the news portion of this episode,so now let's go ahead and move on to our main

(14:38):
event, where we review season one of the DCStudios animated series, Creature Commandos.

(15:13):
The
The story of Creature Commandos stems from theevents of Gunn's The Suicide Squad and subsequent

(15:34):
Peacemaker spin-off series, both of which wepraised on this podcast in our reviews. This
show, I'm mostly happy to say, is in keepingwith James Gunn's signature crass comedy ensembles
with heartfelt characterizations, and I definitelyrecommend it to anyone who's a fan of Gunn's
prior work, whether for DC or the MCU's Guardiansof the Galaxy franchise. Creature Commandos

(15:59):
is only seven half-hour episodes, a pretty quickwatch, so make sure you do just that before
listening any further to this spoiler review.Now, I said I was mostly happy to say that
this show matched the crass comedy and emotionalweight of James Gunn's past works because I
liked those past works. I'm a fan of James Gunn.But there was also a part of me that hoped

(16:21):
Gunn had matured to the point where he was ableto deliver on the emotional aspects of a story.
without resorting to mature humor. And in thisfirst DC Studios project out of the gate, he
delivers arguably his most mature story to date,one full of extreme violence and sexuality,
which was somewhat discouraging. Now, I'm fairlyconfident James Gunn's Superman movie coming

(16:45):
out this summer is not going to match the toneof Creature Commandos, but this show does present
a barrier to those looking to faithfully experienceDC's new cinematic universe. in the same way
audiences were extremely faithful in seeingeverything Marvel Studios released during the
Infinity Saga storyline. Yeah, well, I mean,Creature Commandos was written, at least the

(17:06):
specs were written by James Gunn prior to theexistence of the DCU. He wrote them when HBO
was looking for an animated series from himcoming off the success of Peacemaker Season
One. So the tone of Creature Commandos, I think,is more in line with James Gunn's whole vision
for the Suicide Squad quadrant. of the DCU andnot necessarily representative of what the

(17:29):
tone is going to be for the DCU going forward.True, that very may well be the case. Now I
often criticize Marvel films for their over-relianceon humor, and while I shouldn't be surprised
that the guy who made the Guardians of the Galaxyfilms was going to bring that humor to DC Studios,
in part probably because it obviously sellswell given the MCU's financial success. I do

(17:53):
tend to see DC characters and stories as beingabove that, like DC's Oscar worthy, whereas
Marvel's made more for the MTV Movie Awardsaudience. So I never really wanted the DCU
to be more like the MCU, and I'm slowly comingto terms with the fact that while Marvel is
like the really popular sugary soda Coca-Cola,and while I want DC to be like a fine bourbon,

(18:19):
not necessarily for everyone, DC actually endingup like Pepsi is not the worst thing in the
world, because there are a lot of people outthere of all ages that like Pepsi. I'm not
one of them, but I can learn to like it, especiallyif these mature projects like Creature Commandos
are relegated to niche animated fare. I likehow you compare DC to Pepsi. I think the analogy

(18:41):
works. You know, Marvel's red, DC's blue. DChas a circular logo. It just made sense branding
wise in my head. Pepsi is also dog shit, so.Hey, fuck you, man. Don't make me defend Pepsi.
Now because as a niche exploitation-esque project,Creature Commandos really hits the nail on
the head. It feels very much like a successor,as I mentioned, to the Suicide Squad in regards

(19:05):
to its mission-based narrative and real stakesin which any of your favorite characters could
die. It feels like a passion project from JamesGunn, who does a tremendous job conveying that
behind every monster is a tragedy. In fact,each episode of the series is dedicated to
showing us the past tragedy of an indiviDuelcharacter on the Creature Commandos team that

(19:29):
helps us recognize the humanity in the charactersand view them as much more than just monsters.
That was my big takeaway from the show was justthe tragedy of the characters. You're talking
about some of the most tragic characters toever exist in comics. And really, you kind
of need that humor because of some of the horrific,sad things that you see. happen on the screen.

(19:50):
You need that balance. Otherwise, it would justbe one heck of a depressing show. And in some
ways it was, just due to how everything waspresented. Like, I don't think I've seen as
many instances of dead children in a superheroproject. And it was actually surprising to
me. And I don't know if that's just becauseI'm a dad now, but I was really affected by
it. And that's not to say that the show wasshocking for shocking sake, because, you know,

(20:16):
if you look at the story of the Creature Commandosfrom the comic books, They went through some
dark shit. Like there was that whole arc wherethey were commanded during World War II to
kill that group of super soldier Nazi children.Right. And they ended up doing it. And you
know, there was a lot of dysfunction in theteam because of that. So all these tragic stories
that you were referring to when you say thatthere's a tragedy behind every monster. And

(20:36):
I agree, that's the biggest idea that this seriessold. I agree. Their misfortunes result in
a very cynical view of humanity and tone forthe series. which is in contrast to what I'm
hoping is a very hopeful tone for the upcomingflagship film for DC that is Superman. But
for a project starring literal monsters, a cynicaltone is appropriate, I feel, and shows some

(21:01):
value in cynicism over, say, optimism, becausecynicism tends to help people survive, giving
these monsters the most human trait of all,and that is the instinct to survive. That's
valid. I mean, like cynicism is one of my leastfavorite traits that anybody could have. But
I guess it is a valuable trait when it comesto like soldiers out on the battlefield or

(21:24):
on a mission or something like that. It's goodto be cynical and skeptical of everything and
everyone around you when your life is on theline. Otherwise, yeah, I hope more people are
like Superman. Yeah, that's my hope for sure.But, you know, when the zombie apocalypse breaks
out, I will be the most cynical person on theplanet. Now the show revolves heavily around
its cast of characters, but before we get intoour character breakdown, I want to touch on

(21:47):
the show's animation style, which I would actuallydescribe as this combination of the tomorrow
versus cleanliness and unique character designswith the quirkiness and charm of mature animated
favorites like Eon Flux and just a hint of animeaction. I wasn't actually looking forward to
this style of animation in the trailers, butactually grew to love it. the action scenes,

(22:11):
which were often coupled with some deep cutsong choices that would make Quentin Tarantino
proud. It also doesn't hurt that, with the exceptionof one character, the characters look like
the actors who voice them, making it easierto believe the performances and just making
me really excited to see them all in live actionhopefully one day, maybe in Peacemaker Season

(22:32):
2. Yeah, the animation was great. The violencelevel. was shocking. It was almost or maybe
even surpassed the level of gore that we sawin the Hit Monkey series. Oh yeah, when you
have like Dr. Phosphorus just like shoving hishand like slowly through people's faces melting
it off. I'm like, good, good gosh. Yeah, I thinkit was more like invincible in that regard

(22:54):
because, you know, the animation was a lot cleanerthan it was in Hit Monkey. Hit Monkey was a
little bit more stylized. Like there was likea lot of blood spray. Here there was less spray
and it was more just like splatter. I guess,if you could discern the difference in my description.
All I can say is I'm just glad I binged thisshow while I was not eating. Yeah. Moving on

(23:15):
to the character breakdown, starting off withRick Flagg Sr. He was voiced by Frank Gurlow
of Crossbones fame in the MCU. I didn't recognizehis voice to me, he just sounded like a really
good voice actor. I had forgotten that FrankGurlow voiced the character. He was good in
the role and well cast as the father of JoelKinnaman. I do have to say though that this

(23:37):
character, more than any other character, looksthe least like the actor who voiced them. Rick
Flack Sr. actually looks more like James Gunn,with the white hair and beard, who we actually
see in animated form in every opening creditsof the show. I'm not sure why James Gunn decided
to make Rick Flack Sr. look like him, consideringhe didn't in the show's promo art, like he

(24:00):
had black hair, and Frank Urlow won't have whitehair. in the Superman movie because we've seen
behind the scenes photos of him on set as RickFlack Sr. That is a strange call and it's a
weird way to insert yourself, allegedly, inthe story. I don't understand the justification
for it at all. I just kind of miss Joel Kinnaman'scharacter. I wish he wouldn't have died in

(24:21):
the Suicide Squad. Dude, we're all still heartbrokenabout that. Even the guy who killed him, Peacemaker,
was heartbroken about that. Yeah, I guess thatwas a big part of Peacemaker's arc in his show.
Speaking of arc. Rick Flagg Sr. begins the seriesdealing with the loss of his son, Rick Flagg
Jr., who died in the 2021 film, The SuicideSquad. Princess Ilana Rostovic took advantage

(24:44):
of his sorrow in an attempt to manipulate himinto killing Cersei, the clairvoyant, the muscarine
sorceress who foresaw Princess Rostovic destroyingthe world. When the Amazonian expert Dr. MacPherson
vouched for the captured Cersei's credibility,Flagg teamed up with Eric Frankenstein to spy
on Dr. MacPherson. only to learn that she hadbeen killed and replaced by the shapeshifter

(25:05):
Clayface. After being put into a coma by Clayface,Flag awoke briefly to warn Amanda Waller that
she was wrong to send Task Force M back to Pakolistanto kill Princess Rostovic, unaware that the
princess had been working with Clayface to discreditDr. MacPherson. Flag was wrong, however, too

(25:25):
optimistic and gullible as compared to the cynicalmonsters he was trying to lead. whose disdain
for the world and humankind actually helpedthem see through the princess's manipulations.
Yeah, it's hard to speak about Rick Flag asa character because while I wouldn't call him
one dimensional or anything like that, he wasalso probably the least interesting in a group
of literal freaks and monsters, you know? Oh,totally. I actually thought Rick Flag Sr. was

(25:50):
going to be the main character of the series,but I was totally wrong. He was knocked out
of the series like halfway through. basically,and was involved in the climax or anything
like that. Right. And he ended up getting manipulatedas well. Right. His whole arc is just him being
wrong, essentially, like I mentioned. So movingon to the bride, she was voiced by Indira Varma,

(26:14):
who is a fantastic voice actress. It was justa fantastic character as well. I cannot wait
for more of her character in the announced upcomingseason for Creature Commandos. She was the
most interesting character. Yeah, she kind ofhad a chip on her shoulder, but you get into
her backstory and it's really easy to see why,considering, you know, the people that she
loved were killed by the people that she hates.And so she just really had this bitter attitude

(26:38):
toward everything. But I like the way they portrayedher as this badass. It's not often that you
get female characters who are this cynical.I can't even really think of any off the top
of my head because, like, you think of characterslike Black Widow and stuff like that. At least
in the comics, they're closer to this versionof the character. But this version was so much
more violent. than most other femme fatalesthat you get. Yeah, she's like a super soldier

(27:01):
black widow. Yeah. Now the bride was createdby Dr. Victor Frankenstein as a mate for his
monstrous creation, Eric Frankenstein. Ericdidn't ask to be created and didn't wanna live
unloved. So Victor created the bride for him,though Eric was too impatient and uncouth for
her to bond with him. Victor cared more forher, which turned into a romance between him

(27:25):
and the bride, causing Eric to kill his creatorin jealousy. The bride, enraged by what Eric
had done, fought him and fled, beginning a patternthat would last centuries as Eric continued
to stalk her across the planet. Life is a burdenfor the bride and it's hardened her, but her
experience makes her the perfect leader fora team of monsters, as recognized by Amanda

(27:49):
Waller when she replaced Rick Flagg
Yeah, that was one of the best quotes, I think,in the show where Amanda Waller was like, we
need someone who's less of a whiny bitch andsomeone who's more just a bitch. It was so
good. Now, in the end, it's the bride alonewho recognizes that Princess Rostovic was exactly

(28:10):
the entitled narcissistic person that Cerseiclaimed she was, though she killed the princess
not because of what she would do, but becauseshe killed Nina Mazursky, the one person the
bride had grown to care for. I thought thatwas a fantastic story choice. The fact that
the bride was like, you know what, you're planningon doing all of this horrible shit to humanity.

(28:32):
I don't care at all about humanity. I'm justgoing to kill you because you killed my friend.
It was a fantastic ending and a great momentfor the character. I think the one thing missing
from the character of the bride was that shedidn't have four arms like she does in the
comics. I wish they would have done that inthe series. Sometimes she has six arms in the
comics. Hopefully they'll do that in subsequentseasons. Moving on to Eric Frankenstein, he

(28:55):
was voiced by David Harbour. This was the castingthat I was most excited about when it was announced,
and I actually like him a lot more in this rolethan the Red Guardian role for Marvel. He's
fantastic, although I don't love what they didwith the actual character. Yeah, we pit Frankenstein
against Elsa Bloodstone in a Duel episode, andthe backstory of the character was actually

(29:17):
pretty interesting, but the way he's characterizedin this show... they completely changed him
and he was despicable. He was the worst fuckingcharacter. I hated the guy. Yeah, in the comics,
Frankenstein is this wise and noble figure,but in the show, despite his somewhat likable
buffoonery, he's cast very much like a violentstalker, essentially a villain in the series,

(29:41):
making him pretty uncomfortable to watch. Butalso, it's somewhat in keeping with the literary
character of Frankenstein's monster. who resentslife and demands affection. Mary Shelley's
Frankenstein is probably my favorite story ever.So I'm really curious to see where they take
the Eric Frankenstein character and see howhe grows. Hopefully he does. Do you think they're

(30:03):
gonna try to redeem him? Or do you think they'regonna double down and make him even more of
an asshole? I don't know. I hope they don'tmake it so that the bride falls in love with
him. I hope Eric actually finds a new love andthe bride finds a new love Because they never
did that in the book. In fact, the characterof the bride kills herself rather than be with

(30:24):
Frankenstein's monster. Is he called Eric inthe books as well? No, no. I wonder why they
call him Eric in this show. I don't know. Ithink it was just to give him a name. Movie
gone to Nina Mazursky. She was voiced by ZoeChow, who I'm not too familiar with. She's
been in a number of minor roles in various projects.I did think she did a fantastic job voicing

(30:44):
the role. You know, like Frankenstein, NinaMasursky was fairly different in this show
than she was in the comics. Here she's prettynaive when in the comics she was a scientific
genius who actually helped create the CreatureCommandos. In recent comics, at least. Her
father created the team in its earliest incarnation.So that part, they got somewhat right in that

(31:04):
Dr. Masursky transformed his daughter out ofcare and necessity for her survival. James
Gunn has a habit of killing off innocents inhis works. So I shouldn't have been surprised
that Nina did not survive to the end, but herdeath had a large impact on the bride, and
I think it's one that will continue into futureseasons. In a way, it's kind of bittersweet

(31:25):
that Nina died still innocent, still havingnever killed someone and becoming the same
kind of monster that the others were. I wasangry when she died. I was pissed because I
liked her as a character. And I was wonderinglike why they even included her on a team of
killers to begin with if they probably knewby her psychological profile that she was not
a killer. Yeah, her role on the team was notincredibly practical, you know, up until the

(31:50):
end when she was tasked with killing the princessin the water. But for majority of the season,
Nina simply just wanted a friend, whether thatwas GIA Robot or the bride. I think she was
kind of there for moral support and to bringsome small degree of optimism to the team.
Moving on to GI Robot, he was voiced by SeanGunn, who is James Gunn's brother, and who

(32:12):
is a much better actor than I think people givehim credit for, particularly when it comes
to physicality. Now, of course, in an animatedseries, you don't really get to see that, but
even vocally, the fact that he voiced multiplecharacters on the show and it wasn't terribly
easy to hear that just lets us see his rangeas an actor. Oh yeah, you compare his Kraglin

(32:33):
voice to his GI Robot voice. It's night andday. I thought he was a fantastic GI robot.
And even his weasel noises, that was like prettygood. Now, GI robot comes across as the most
one note character of the team. He simply wantsto kill Nazis. But beneath that was also a
yearning for camaraderie. He wanted to killNazis, but as part of a team. Literally nothing

(32:58):
brought him more joy. And it was kind of sadto see him destroyed. as he's finally getting
to live out his life's purpose after all theseyears. But it was also cool to see him at the
end with his upgrades. Yeah, in the books he'scalled Jake, if I remember correctly, and he
does get upgrades in the comics. I don't knowif he quite looks like the tank that he is
at the end of the show though. No, no, he doesn't.But yeah, there were actually two different

(33:19):
versions of Jake. I'm guessing this is the numbertwo version because he wore a number two on
his helmet. He cracked me up though. I reallylove the scene where He's standing guard, you
know, watching over the princess outside ofher door. And all he can talk about is just
like, I killed 33 Nazis. And he just keeps goingon and on about that stuff. But like the look
on his face, it almost looks like he's alwayssmiling. Right. Yeah. So there's just something

(33:43):
really endearing and quirky about the characterthat I just loved. Yeah, he was great. Now,
of course, Sean Gunn's other performance wasas Weasel, a role he played in the Suicide
Squad film. I was really glad to learn thatWeasel was not responsible for killing a whole
bunch of children. as we learned in that movie.It turns out he didn't kill the kids, he simply
tried to save them from a fire, but was mistakenas a monster attacking them. All the Weasel

(34:08):
wants is to play, and he's instinctually veryloyal to anyone who's kind enough to bond with
him over a game of fetch, including the Princess.It's fairly tragic that because he's not intelligent
enough to follow orders, if he hadn't intervenedthe Princess's assassination, Nina Mazursky
would have lived. Yeah, that is tragic. Butby the end of the series, weasel became my

(34:32):
favorite character. Like I didn't really carefor weasel in the suicide squad movie. But
here, you know, he just kind of reminds me ofmy dog. You know, he just totally constantly
always wanting to play. Even when like you thoughthe was going to throw down with a pack of wolves
and he picks up the stick and plays fetch andjust spends the whole night playing with them.
And then like his sole motivation to go to thecastle was to play with the princess again,

(34:54):
because she played fetch with him. It was justso endearing, so endearing. Yeah, absolutely.
And still, even though he was responsible forNina's death, the character is still extremely
innocent and endearing because of that. Movingon to Dr. Phosphorus, he was voiced by Alan
Tudyk, who is an absolute master of the craftof acting, both on screen and in his voiceover

(35:17):
work. He's done a ton of voice roles for Disney,but he's also done quite a bit for DC, such
as being Mr. Nobody. in the Doom Patrol andhe was fantastic in that role and I'm glad
he's sticking around in the new DCU. Well, he'salso in Harley Quinn. That's right, yeah, he
voices Clayface and the Joker in that show.Now before he was Dr. Phosphorus, the character

(35:39):
was Dr. Alex Sartorius, whose family was killedby the Gotham City mobster Rupert Thorne after
Dr. Sartorius forged data on a cancer-curingexperiment that Thorne had funded. After being
transformed into a radioactive skeleton andavenging his family, Dr. Sartorius, now known
as Dr. Phosphorus, slid deeper and deeper intothe pit of villainy and power until he was

(36:03):
captured by Batman. He's the rebel of the group,and with his skeletal appearance, it was hard
to see him as anything other than a violentmonster until you learn his backstory and realize
he, like any other man would, misses his family.The scene of him talking with the little girl,
saying he can't have her telling others thatshe saw him, was kind of frightening. only

(36:25):
for him to then be playing with her outsidein the next scene, which was definitely a subversion
of expectations. I think the most shocking sceneof the whole show was seeing him as a scientist
being laughed at while being forced to run hisfingerprints over the bodies of his dead wife
and child. Oh, man, I've never seen anythinglike that before. It was unbelievably heartbreaking

(36:48):
for sure. It's disturbing. And I think thatlike disturbance kind of sticks with you for
that whole episode. which makes Dr. Phosphorus'interaction with the little girl so full of
tension, you know. But it was a nice momentbecause it showed that he just really wanted
to be a father again. Right, exactly. Movingon to the final character in the character
breakdown, Princess Ilana Rustovic. She wasvoiced by Maria Bakalova, who played Borat's

(37:11):
daughter in Borat 2, and voiced Cosmo the SpaceDog in Guardians of the Galaxy 3. She did a
fantastic job with this role. You know, thePrincess begins the series as this manipulative
minx. who we later learn could potentially leadthe destruction of the world. The overarching
mystery of the show is whether or not this womanis trustworthy. She's the primary antagonist

(37:34):
of the series, though we don't realize she'san actual villain until the final minutes of
the season's final episode, where we learn,in the Brideswords, that the Princess was a
power-mad, sadistic, narcissistic Disney princesswho wants to destroy the world. And that changes
a lot of how you see the character in retrospect.and that we knew she was manipulative since

(37:55):
the beginning, but we didn't realize how malevolentthose manipulations were and for what sick
purpose. Yeah, I guess the stakes were thatshe was in possession of some kind of devastating
armor weapon that would be used to kill allthe heroes in the world. Was she supposed to
be some kind of analog to the Amethyst characterfrom DC Comics? I wonder, because her knights

(38:16):
were called Amethyst Knights. I was wonderingthat. I'm not entirely sure because the princess
is an original character, but given the wayeverything looked and the way she looked also,
I would not be surprised if that was the case.That said, they probably did not want to go
with Amethyst because Amethyst is a teenagehero in the comics. I do wish they would have
given a little bit more clarity into her truenature, like at least shown us this suit of

(38:42):
armor in storage or something like that. Orat least explain why she wants to take over
the world. Is it because... She just wants torule everything because I don't love that as
a motivation. Yeah, it's a pretty weak and vaguemotivation as things go. And I guess that would
be the biggest downfall of the season as a whole.I agree. It kind of had a villain problem in

(39:03):
that she's the antagonist. She's the personthey're going up against, but we don't know
really anything about the villain, like theirmotivation, which tends to signal a weak project.
That said, I think the main focus of this serieswas the creature commandos and not her. Yeah,
the whole show was more character driven thanplot driven. I actually found myself a little
impatient with the show after the first threeepisodes because plot wise, there's not a whole

(39:28):
lot there. They basically go to Polokistan anddefeat Cersei, and it's hard to tell where
this story is going until episode four. Butbasically, through the first three episodes,
the interesting stuff comes from the characterexplorations. Absolutely. Yeah, if you strip
all of the flashbacks in this series. The storyis very, very simple and actually not that

(39:49):
great. It's the flashbacks that make this series.But speaking of the series, let's move on to
our story highlights.
Where fantasies collide and heroes clash, onepodcast network rises above the rest. Prepare

(40:14):
Dynomic Podcast Network presents Konsole Kombat,where video game legends brawl every Monday.

Episode 1 was titled The Collie Wobbles. Whenthe nation of Pakolistan goes under attack
by the sorceress Cersei and her army, the Sonsof Themyscira, Amanda Waller assembles a team

(41:01):
of non-human prison inmates known as Task ForceM, or the Creature Commandos, to protect the
nation's Princess Ilana Rostovic, who has promisedpetroleum deposits in her country to the US.
Led by Rick Flag, the team arrives in Pakolistanand meets with Princess Ilana Rostovic, who
manages to charm Rick Flag into a sexual relationship.While Dr. Phosphorus attempts to steal Flag's

(41:25):
remote that triggers a painful shock in theteam in order to keep them in line, resulting
in a skirmish between the two, the bride andNina sneak off to Frankenstein's castle, where
the bride was created.
watching the castle that the bride has returned.I actually like how this series follows Peacemaker

(41:49):
season one, at the end of which Amanda Waller'sTask Force X is outed to the public and to
the government. And so they strip her of herability to form government teams using human
inmates. So then she resorts to using non-humaninmates or monsters for her missions. Yeah,
it's a pretty good loophole and very in keepingwith the character of Amanda Waller. Episode

(42:12):
2 was titled The Tourmaline Necklace. In flashbacks,we learn about the tragic origins of the bride,
reluctantly created by Dr. Victor Frankensteinfrom the bodies of cadavers as a mate for Erik.
Her education from Victor leads to a romanticattraction culminating in Victor's death at
the hands of the jealous Erik Frankenstein,who continues to pursue the bride across time

(42:36):
and the planet. In the present, the bride andNina locate a necklace that Victor once gave
to the bride before the two are ambushed byCersei, whose sons of Themyscira noticed the
bride and Nina entering the castle, resultingin a brutal fight that leaves the bride and
Nina defeated. This episode really makes youfeel for the bride, who again came off as pretty

(42:57):
sand-offish in the first episode, but here youlearn why that's the case, and it's a really
interesting backstory. Yeah, it was hard toknow where the story was going. The fact that
she went after a necklace really served to speakto her sentimental nature, I think, and that
she truly loved Dr. Victor Frankenstein. AndI'm wondering if she'll love anybody else the

(43:17):
way she loved him. And it was almost like shelost the love of her life. Got to say, though,
it's pretty gross for Victor Frankenstein tobone this reanimated cadaver chick. Necrophilia?
Yeah, yeah, very gross. It's a little weird.Yeah. Episode three was titled Cheers to the
Tin Man. In flashbacks to G.I. Robot's historyis explored from his time as an effective soldier

(43:40):
for the U.S. military during World War Two towhen he was reawakened by a military arms collector
after decades of being decommissioned. Afterkilling a group of neo-Nazis, G.I. Robot was
imprisoned and later drafted into Task ForceM. When the team arrives at Victor's castle
to rescue Nina and the bride, They realizedthe two were kept alive to distract them from

(44:02):
Cersei's forces attacking Castle Rostovic andthe Princess. Flag and the team return to Rostovic's
castle, now under siege, and during a chaoticbattle, G.I. Robot is destroyed after saving
the team. Cersei is eventually defeated, butnot before she exclaims that Task Force M has
doomed the world. I really liked G.I. Robot'sbackstory, everything from World War II to

(44:26):
seeing Dr. William Magnus converse with thecharacter and give him upgrades and stuff like
that. The upgrade of him like being able todetach his torso from his legs and just like
levitate so he could spin around that way waspretty cool, even though it didn't really last
very long. What did you think of the characterizationof Dr. William Magnus? Because at some points
it seemed a little bit sinister. I wasn't surehow I felt about that. I didn't mind that.

(44:50):
I know there's been some flirtation with Dr.William Magnus being a villain in the comics.
So I think it was in keeping with that. I'msure they'll do further exploration with the
character. Because I think he was planted inhere to establish further DC Studio projects,
like the Metal Men, eventually at some point.Because I don't really see any other reason
why he was included here. He, of course, wasvoiced by Alan Tudyk. So maybe we'll actually

(45:14):
get to see Alan Tudyk play that role in liveaction. I was actually shocked when G.I. Robot
died because he was so endearing as a characterthat you expected him to last throughout the
entire series. I'm really glad that they broughthim back, but I do have to commend the show
for delivering on the stakes that they set up.Yeah, I didn't think he was going to die either.
It was when he did that I realized, oh shit,like, is no one safe? Is this like the Suicide

(45:38):
Squad? I hadn't really made that connectionearlier for some reason that, hey, these characters
can actually die in this adventure. Episode4 was titled Chasing Squirrels. In flashbacks,
Weasel befriends a group of schoolchildren onlyto be confused for their attacker. When a fire
breaks out, authorities prioritize apprehendingGweasel over rescuing the children. In the

(46:00):
present, the team returns to Belle Reve whereCersei is interrogated and shows Waller a vision
of an apocalyptic future caused by PrincessRostakov's rise to power. Though Flag insists
on the princess's innocence after the assurancefrom leading Amazonian researcher Dr. Isla
MacPherson on Cersei's credibility, Waller assignsthe bride to lead the team in Flagg's place

(46:23):
on a mission to assassinate the princess. Whilethe team heads back to Pakolistan, Erik Frankenstein
ambushes Flagg at his home with the assumptionthat he and the bride were in a relationship.
Clearing up the misunderstanding, Erik and Flaggagree to join forces to stop the princess's
assassination. It was at this point in the serieswhen you really begin to understand the deranged

(46:45):
nature of Erik's obsession with the bride. Yeah,it was really unsettling, especially in the
next episode when you get into his backstory.But yeah, I didn't like the character Frankenstein
at all here. This is one of the better episodesfor me and just that the story was probably
the most tragic with Weasel and the group ofchildren. I just want to know where those kids
parents were and why the school building wasleft unlocked. Yeah, where was like the teacher

(47:10):
supervisor? I assume that the kids were playingat the school's playground after hours or like
on a weekend or something like that. Which iswhy the school was empty during the time that
the explosion occurred. That makes sense. Yeah.But I wanted to be like, don't play with fire,
kids. Like, what are you doing? Don't don'tdo that. That's like lesson number one. They're
like a parent teaches their kids don't playwith fire, don't play with dangerous things.

(47:33):
But I really got pissed at the police officerswhen weasel was trying to rescue the little
girl. And they prioritized shooting him overrescuing the little girl, you know. Dude, how
did one of those bullets not hit the littlegirl? That's all I was thinking about as that
scene was happening. Yeah, in the end, though,it didn't matter, which was truly sad. Heartbreaking,
heartbreaking. Moving on to episode five titledThe Iron Pot. In flashbacks, Eric Frankenstein

(47:59):
is found by a blind medicine woman named Bogdanaafter the bride's initial attack and rejection.
After being nourished back to health, ratherthan leave Bogdana alone, Eric kills her. In
the present, Flagg and Eric spy on Dr. MacPherson,learning that she has been killed and replaced
by Clayface. Flagg manages to warn the princessover the phone that Task Force M is coming

(48:22):
to kill her before he and Eric are attackedby Clayface. Clayface critically injures Flagg
before Eric manages to electrocute him. Meanwhile,Task Force M is ambushed and separated by the
Picolestani army shortly after they arrive inthe country.
Clayface that we've gotten over the past year,including Creature Commandos, Harley Quinn,

(48:46):
Suicide Squad, Isekai, and Batman Caped Crusader,how would you rank those four? Well, I think
the Caped Crusader version was the most interesting,but in terms of just faithfulness to the comics,
I would actually say it's this Creature Commandosversion. Yeah, now that the other two aren't
without their merit, but they were definitelylooser adaptations of the character of Clayface,
I also really liked this Creature Commandosversion because he seemed more dangerous than

(49:09):
the others. Absolutely. Honestly, I'm kind ofhoping that he appears in season two as a member
of the team. I thought he worked really wellin Suicide Squad Isakai as a part of the Suicide
Squad. Except you can't really put a bomb inhis neck or like a taser, you know, as that
show proved. Magic. Just use magic. I stillcan't get around why Frankenstein killed the

(49:31):
old woman healer. I guess I don't quite getwhat happened there. I guess in some sick,
twisted rationale, he figured he was doing hera favor. by having her not feel loneliness
and rejection, but I thought it was unbelievablycruel. Yeah, at that point there was no real
redeeming the character of Frankenstein, becausebefore that you knew that he was an asshole.

(49:53):
Right, but it wasn't until that moment thatyou saw he truly was a monster. Right. Moving
on to episode six, which was titled, Pre-AtelSkelette. In flashbacks, we learned that Dr.
Phosphorus was a mad scientist named Alex Sartorius,who borrowed money from the mob to fund experiments.
on a machine that could cure cancer. When themob kills his family and attempts to kill him

(50:15):
in the machine, Alex is reborn as the radioactiveDr. Phosphorus, who kills the mobsters and
fills the vacuum as a mob leader in the GothamCity underworld before being imprisoned by
Batman. In the present, while on the run fromthe Pakolestani army, Phosphorus encounters
a child who reminds him of his lost son, whilethe bride and Nina protect a local brothel

(50:37):
and Weasel bonds with a wolf pack. Each of theteam members reunite on their way to Castle
Rustovic to assassinate the Princess. This isa fantastic episode, really tragic opening,
but I like the way it set up the climax of theshow toward the end. The dance number with
Dr. Phosphorus was a little bit weird. Actually,you know, there were quite a few musical numbers

(50:58):
throughout the course of this series that kindof stood out to me in a distracting way, in
a way that I don't think was entirely necessary.Like, James Gunn likes to use a lot of pop
music in his projects. But in this show, someof them almost seemed to just pad the runtime.
Watching Dr. Phosphorus dance in his pimp outfitis one of those cases. There was also another

(51:19):
instance, I think in episode two, where we actuallysaw the band, Gogo Bordello, perform their
song, Start Wearing Purple. It was just weird,it was weird, like a music video. I actually
loved that. I loved all of the musical choicesand numbers in this series from Start Wearing
Purple. to seeing Dr. Phosphorus dancing. Hewas just so drunk on power that he could like

(51:41):
get away with stuff like that. Like I mentioned,I think the soundtrack for this series would
make Quentin Tarantino proud. For sure. Butlike Dr. Phosphorus had a whole choreographed
number with backup dancers and everything likethat. You didn't find that distracting? No,
I was laughing. Okay. All right. It was funnythat it got interrupted by Batman. Yeah, Batman
wasn't having any of it. He was like, reallya dance number? Not having any of this shit.

(52:06):
The final episode of the series, episode seven,was titled A Very Funny Monster. In flashbacks,
we learned that Nina was born with deformedlungs, resulting in her father, the renowned
geneticist and engineer Edward Mazursky, tocreate a mobile iron lung for his daughter.
When Nina's mother leaves her family, Edwardexperiments on his daughter, turning her into

(52:27):
an aquatic hybrid capable of breathing water.After being teased in school, Nina ran away
from home. living in sewers as an urban legenduntil she was caught by authorities, resulting
in her father being shot while trying to rescueher. In the present, Task Force M makes their
way into the castle's security tower where theyfind footage of Clayface with the princess

(52:50):
and where Eric finally catches up with them.Unwilling to hear anything from Eric, the bride
dispatches him quickly before the team makestheir way to a lake where the princess is swimming.
Nina is tasked with executing the assassination.but fails and is killed by the princess when
Weasel, who was fond of the princess, alertsher to the danger. After receiving a call from

(53:11):
Amanda Waller calling off the assassination,the bride kills the princess nonetheless for
killing Nina, and after piecing together thatCersei was right after all. A new task force
am is formed in the aftermath, featuring a mixof survivors and new recruits, with the bride
placed in charge once again. And that's theseries. I really liked this episode. Nina Mazurski's

(53:33):
backstory was just as tragic as the rest ofthem. But I think I felt a stronger connection
to this one because as a father, I have a daughter,I have two daughters and there's nothing I
wouldn't do for them. Yeah. Seeing ProfessorMazurski's love for his daughter really made
you have disdain for the mother and how shejust didn't love the child. You know, it was

(53:53):
really heartbreaking when the father died infront of Nina as she was being arrested. Oh
yeah, totally. Right in the feels. I do wonderabout the practicality of genetically transforming
your daughter into a gill creature though, especiallywhen she's having a hard enough time breathing
anyway, to confine her to only breathing underwater.It was a little bit of a strange solution.
I think he should have kept working on it. Well,I got the impression that the experiment went

(54:17):
somewhat wrong, or that he wasn't fully awareof what it would do. He was only trying to
find a way for her to breathe with the liquidthat was constantly in her lungs. And I'm not
sure the result was what he intended. Becauseif you think about it, it wasn't that much
better wearing a fishbowl on your head thanit was walking around with an iron lung. Right,

(54:39):
exactly. Again, the final moments of the serieswere among my favorites when the bride just
straight up kills the princess for no otherreason than killing her friend Nina. I'm really
glad that they have announced a season two forthe series because whether we see them in live
action or not, I can't wait to see more. fromthese characters, particularly the Bride, I
think you could do a lot with this series andwith a lot of DC's characters, like Clayface,

(55:03):
like a number of villains within DC. For sure,yeah, the dialogue was well written. I think
when you look at the quality of shows like CreatureCommando Season 1, like Peacemaker Season 1,
and like the Suicide Squad, you can't help butbe excited for the future of the DCU in James
Gunn's hands as a DC fan.

(55:25):
I'm really hoping this isn't the same tone thatwe'll see in a project like Superman or other
DC fare, Supergirl, even the Lantern series.But for this, James Gunn's style and tone is
absolutely perfect. Now it's not a perfect show,as we mentioned there are problems with the
villain, but for the most part, despite itsmature and violent nature, DC Studios' initial

(55:49):
foray packs fun action spectacle and dire stakeswhile conveying that behind every monster,
as I mentioned earlier, is a tragedy. I'm givingthis show 4 out of 5 stars, a fresh rating
on Rotten Tomatoes. Yeah, I would agree with4 out of 5 stars. That was the rating that
I gave the first season of Hitmonkey, whichI really enjoyed. I think there's a lot of

(56:13):
commonalities between Hitmonkey and CreatureCommandos. Yeah, I love Hitmonkey for Marvel,
and I'm really glad that DC has basically anequivalent to that. in our universe. I liked
season two of Hit Monkey a little bit more thanseason one, which I think had probably too
many episodes. But for Creature Commandos, theyhad just the right amount of episodes to tell

(56:33):
the story they wanted to tell, which again waspretty simple, maybe too simple, but I still
really liked it. For sure. Hopefully we hearwords soon as to when season two begins production
so we can know around the time that it's goingto come out. But that does it for this review.
