We are now in a new era of DC Comics as the DCEU is now officially dead and buried and with the start of this new show the DCU has just started. With James Gunn writing every single episode of this show it does give this new universe a good start and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED first impressions of the show that kick starts the DC Universe with the show in question being called simply just "Creature Commandos" enjoy.
The plot of these first two episodes is Rick Flagg Sr is charged with leading a team of monsters to stop the villain Circe from trying to take over the world. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty not that bad altho the setup for the show is strikingly similar to The Suicide Squad which is something that really does make the shows plot really feel less creative then what it actually is as the plot of the show can be really fun when it really wants to be with the plot of these first two episodes also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in these first two episodes is Indira Varma as The Bride Of Frankenstein and Sean Gunn as G.I. Robot and Weasel. Also starring in these furst two episodes is Alan Tudyk as Doctor Phosphorus and Tanner , Zoë Chao as Nina Mazursky , David Harbour as Eric Frankenstein , Frank Grillo as General Rick Flag, Sr. , Maria Bakalova as Princess Ilana Rostovic and Old Woman , Viola Davis as Amanda Waller , Jake Tapper as A Reporter , Julian Kostov as Alexi and A Knight Nikolai Stoilov as Cabbie and Server , Tony Cavalero as Incel Son and Anya Chalotra as Circe.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty really good with all of the shows characters being perfectly cast even if alot of them are just the same actors that have appeared in other James Gunn projects and are basically playing the same characters here that they've played in other James Gunn projects they are still some really good actors that are turning in some really good performances with the acting that's in these first two episodes really being helped by the fact that the script for these first two episodes is just so good that all these episodes actors really have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance really will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in these first two episodes.
Doing the animation for these first two episodes is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Bobbypills. With the animation in both of these first two episodes being the highlight of both episodes as it's just that good with both episodes having some really highly detailed backgrounds and the show as a whole having a look that's highly similar style and look to the DC animated films of the mid to late 2010s which is a look that looked really well for those films and it works here as it makes the ship stand out from all of the other animated shows that are out there with the episodes having some really good looking pieces of animation in them.
SPOILERS START HERE !!!!!!!!!!
In what was a really shocking move the show especially in its first episode makes a reference to Wonder Woman and more understandably to The Suicide Squad. With it being revelled in quite literally the opening minutes of the first episode that Circe is leading a group promising that if they help her take over this small country then she'll take them to Themyscira which they call by name with that very same episode also confirming that this show takes place just a few weeks after the events of The Suicide Squad with Rick Flagg Sr still processing the loss of his son which does confirm that at least that film and that film portrayal of certain characters are indeed canon to this new DCU which means that there is a small chance that we could see Margot Robbie come back as Harley Quinn at somepoint as well.
Without giving away two much of what happens in both if these episodes there is a certain plot point in episode two that might not work all that well. As it's something that could creep out some people if you've seen the Killing Joke movie with the second episode really going all in on the adult stuff by also showing us just how The Bride was created and how she was meant to fall in love with Frankensteins monster but ended up falling in love with Victor Frankenstein himself something that is an interesting plot point as the character of The Bride who is quite literally based off of the character of the same name has never really been given much media attention and as a result of that is the fact that it is possible that she could have fallen in love with her creator with there romance in this episode being really sweet to watch play out.
Now then episode one of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets and thirty three seconds whilst episode two has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets and five seconds. With episode one having the better running time of the two episodes just because of the fact that that episode makes the best use of it's running time by setting up all of it's characters and the overall plot and feel of the show where as whilst the second episode of the show is really good in its own right it doesn't advance the plot of the show with the plot taking a backseat just so they can give us The Brides origin story when the two could have been tied together in someway shape or form but I really will admit that these episodes really do have some really good pacing to them tho.
So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty not that bad as the show does indeed show us some really impressive looking action scenes in the second the issue is tho us that it only has two action scenes and that's really it with both them just featuring at least one member of the team either fighting another member of the team of Circe one on one with there not being a balls to the wall insane action scene featuring every single member of the team but to be fair tho it's during the action scenes that the animation really dies come alive in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!
Overall these first two episodes where I really good bunch of episodes and while they don't set the DCU off with its best foot forward its far to early to tell if the DCU will be any good or not in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in these first two episodes in this very post and since this is only my first impressions I won't be giving this show a rating however if this post does decently well and if you guys want me to check out another episode then I will do it and that post would then be a review of that episode and that episode only and not a review of the show as a whole.
Now then interms of where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this post from the official DC Universe fandom wiki page , the official DC Extended Universe fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very post being the really great the official DC Universe fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from these very episodes with alot of them being better quality then what'd think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official DC Universe fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
