Dr. Fortyseven 🥃 █▓▒░<p>Hit the second ep. Man, <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/CreatureCommandos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CreatureCommandos</span></a> is... a real mixed bag. Visually stunning, conceptually interesting. But it feels like a video game where the main story is completely derailed by side missions. I'm sure we'll get to it.</p><p>In general it feels like there's too much focus on being edgy. It's rather "90s" in that way.</p><p>It just feels weird. And not in the good way (surprisingly). For example, the strange choice of music it reaches for, for some scenes (including 1x02's climax) is like claws on a chalkboard. It's as if Cheech Marin (of Cheech & Chong) was asked to improvise something on the spot.</p><p>While this isn't quite working for me (so far), much to my surprise, I can see it becoming something I come to enjoy down the line. </p><p>Besides, I disliked 'Acolyte' far more at this point, but even that I was able to eventually find good things to praise by the end. Surely this will fare even better.</p><p>I want to like this. It's early on. I'll let it simmer. 👍</p><p>NOTES: <br>- Loved seeing GI Robot, but "is that a Nazi" and pointing a gun at someone, while great to see, is getting a bit tiresome already,. Was he so one-note in his own comics? I saw a video about him earlier this year and he seemed far more interesting.</p><p>- Could do without Weasel. We did all of his jokes in 'Suicide Squad'. And we've basically done them all again: "he killed some children", slobbering, etc. </p><p>- The visual parallels between Rick Flag Sr. and Captain Pike from Strange New Worlds are striking.</p><p>- The animated version of James Gunn in the credits feels a bit... arrogant. :P</p>
