    Creature Commandos, while enjoyable, falls a bit flat at times. I had fun with the series, and the characters are great. Phosphorus and Bride are my favourites. Like most DC projects, it all falls apart at the end. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and see if the plot threads are picked up in any future projects. But if this is a one-and-done storyline, then it's actually one of James Gunn's weaker works. Overall I would rank it a 7.5/10

    Individual episodes from best to worst:

    #1 - Episode 4: "Chasing Squirrels"
    #2 - Episode 6: "Priyatel Skelet"
    #3 - Episode 3: "Cheers to the Tin Man"
    #4 - Episode 2: "The Tourmaline Necklace"
    #5 - Episode 1: "The Collywobbles"
    #6 - Episode 7: "A Very Funny Monster"
    #7 - Episode 5: "The Iron Pot"

    I watched the first two episodes of Creature Commandos. It's basically animated Suicide Squad but that's not a bad thing. The first episode is basically just set-up, some of it rather ham-fisted, but it ends well, and the second episode is great from the get-go. The fights are really well choreographed, and the comedic beats hit the mark, at least for me personally. I'm excited to see more.

      Editing … They dropped the first two episodes yesterday. It's actually not even out in the UK, but thankfully there are those brave souls who sail the seven seas for the betterment of others entertainment.

      Editing … The third episode was good fun. I think this is a show that is better binge-watched though. A week is a long time to wait for 22 minutes of show. Especially when the episodes follow-on from each other so closely.

    I'm really hyped for the new DC "reboot". James Gunn comes across well in interviews and it seems like he has a really clear path for how he wants to build his 'DCU'. I'm waiting to see what the trailer for Superman looks like, but I'm already pretty hyped for the movie. DC has always held a stronger place in my heart than Marvel, so it's hard not to get my hopes up that they might finally be able to build up a compelling universe. 3rd (4th?) time lucky?

      Editing … I haven't had my hopes up. I've been so let down by both the MCU and DCEU. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 ended up being the best MCU movie ever though, so I do have high hopes for Superman (I also really like Gunn's cinematographer, Henry Braham), but I'm feeling cautious about the shared universe as a whole. I get annoyed when movies and shows flaunt those shared universe connections. I'd probably prefer more standalone films, or smaller movie series.

      Editing … Yea, I'm actually hoping that they aren't going all in on the crossovers between movies, but I do like the idea of a consistent cast of characters that can be utilised across projects. I'm so sick of origin movies and single movie projects that don't allow the character to change or grow. Would be nice to see some character arcs.

      Editing … I'm kind of amazed how many characters are supposed to appear in Superman: Hawk Girl, Mr Terrific, Metamorpho, Green Lantern. Seems bloated for a Superman movie, but Gunn is very good at balancing ensembles.

      Editing … I fully expect their presence to be minimal in the grand scheme of the movie. Supporting cast members for sure, but I don't think they'll steal focus from Superman. At least, that's my hope.
