The Creature Commandos marks the debut of the latest DC universe. By launching this reboot via an adult-oriented animated series with intense dramatic twists, they’re taking a daring approach, but it underscores their dedication to narratives that honor the original content while delving more profoundly into personal themes.

Each installment of this series skillfully advances the season’s main plot while delving into a character’s backstory. The pace of the season is swift, with each episode barely exceeding 23 minutes. While opinions on episode rankings may vary, none will fail to satisfy viewers.

7. The Collywobbles

Brings The Team Together

Episode 1

In my humble review, this series plunges you headfirst into the core struggle of the season, following swiftly from an introductory scene that lays the groundwork for the storyline. The episode then meticulously constructs the conflict in Pokolistan and offers tantalizing glimpses of the main team’s distinct personalities, giving us a taste of each member’s unique flavor.

The initial episode of this series might not be overflowing with thrilling events or rapid progression, but rest assured, these elements will soon unfold and be worth the wait in subsequent episodes. Labeling the first episode as the weakest isn’t necessarily a criticism; quite the contrary, it only means that the quality of the series can only improve from here.

6. The Iron Pot

Eric Frankenstein And Rick Flag Investigate

Episode 5

As a movie enthusiast, I must say that the fifth installment in this series delves into the character of Eric Frankenstein – a protagonist who, quite frankly, lacks any endearing qualities whatsoever. While some might argue that his existence at the hands of his creator justifies some form of sympathy, his casual disregard for human life and his unwavering belief that the Bride is in love with him only serve to make him revolting to me.

Regardless, his scenes with specific characters remain incredibly amusing, particularly his and Rick Flag’s exploration into Professor MacPherson’s affairs. Conversely, it’s hard not to feel a pang of guilt when chuckling at his pranks, given that he ruthlessly kills the woman who had saved his life in cold blood.

The final tune of the episode maintains the pattern of featuring obscure rock music, playing “I Wouldn’t Want To Live In A World Without Grudges” by The World/Inferno Friendship Society.

Following the series’ tradition of using lesser-known rock tunes, the song “I Wouldn’t Want To Live In A World Without Grudges” by The World/Inferno Friendship Society plays during the episode’s closing moments.

5. Priyatel Skelel

Dr. Phosphorus’s Origins

Episode 6

Now, it’s common knowledge among viewers that the flashback scenes usually involve murder and confusion, as they depict how each character reached their current state. However, this doesn’t diminish the emotional intensity of Dr. Phosphorus’s transformation, which was orchestrated by organized criminals who took away his family.

In just a handful of scenes, the audience witnesses a full storyline of his tragic loss of family and subsequent rise to power in the criminal world, driven by revenge. To add to this intense tale, we’re introduced for the first time to the latest incarnation of Batman. Contrasting this dark persona is a heartwarming moment where he connects with a young girl who doesn’t understand English, serving as a reminder that beneath his tough exterior, the loving family man remains, hidden but not entirely gone, even amidst the radiation’s effects.

4. Cheers To The Tin Man

G.I. Robot Goes Out Like A Hero

Episode 3

It’s heartless to terminate G.I. Robot at the finale of this episode, especially given that he had just begun eradicating the Sons of Themyscira. There’s a poignant grandeur in his final act – a fitting end, considering it was what he was destined for all along, after spending years behind bars.

His past action, which involved attacking a Neo-Nazi rally, resonates with themes found in the Peacemaker series, particularly its exploration of domestic fascism. Music enthusiasts from the early 2000s alternative rock era will undoubtedly appreciate the fitting use of the Dresden Dolls’ “Coin-Operated Boy” during this scene.

3. Chasing Squirrels

Weasel Has Been Innocent All Along

Episode 4

This installment stands out particularly due to the compelling background story of Weasel. Audiences are familiar with the theme of tragic pasts, but the revelation about Weasel’s history is as heart-wrenching as the “Jurassic Bark” episode from Futurama.

Apart from the fact that Weasel never killed any children, these kids were actually his closest friends. Unfortunately, their deaths were due to adult bias and misconception, believing him to be a threat. However, the story may lose some appeal as the events in the contemporary setting do not seem to link coherently or thematically with Weasel’s past experiences.

2. A Very Funny Monster

The Truth Comes Out And A Member Of The Commandos Dies

Episode 7

Here at Pokolistan, tensions reach their peak as Amanda Waller rushes to alert the team about being deceived. Regrettably, she arrives too late. Nina Mazursky fails in her attempt to eliminate Ilana Rostovic, ultimately losing her own life in the process. The Bride subsequently discovers Ilana’s plot to mislead the U.S., and takes matters into her own hands by executing the princess herself.

Nevertheless, her actions are primarily driven by feelings of guilt and a desire for revenge related to Nina’s demise, rather than a commitment to the greater good. It is particularly poignant when we consider that Nina experienced similar rejection and scorn from society in the past, much like how she was accepted by the Creature Commandos before her death. This emotional impact resonates deeply with both The Bride and the audience.

1. The Tourmaline Necklace

A Great Change Of Pace From Episode 1

Episode 2

In the second half of the season, we plunge straight into the characters’ development, interweaving flashback scenes to enrich their stories as the current narrative also progresses.

In this narrative, the protagonist, or ‘The Bride’, was strategically introduced first due to her aloof behavior, suggesting a backstory for her frosty demeanor. Contrary to the swift pace and primary focus on her, the series ensures not to overlook the broader cast by allocating time for her interactions with Nina, at the location of her origin. This setup proves beneficial in the climax when The Bride confesses her friendship with Nina moments before slaying the princess.

Apart from using “American Wedding” by Gogol Bordello as its soundtrack, the show also includes a brief appearance of the band within the action-packed montage where The Bride and Eric Frankenstein engage in combat.
