so my thoughts:
In many ways, I am fukking SICK AND TIRED of DC trying to make their own GoTG. While I get why they want it ("wait, we can use all these goofy ass comic book characters by putting them on a lovable losers team together?"), i never really was a huge fan of the GoTG and the Suicide Squad concept has been run into the ground as far as Im concerned.
With that said, I grew up a DC kid so I love diving into the toy box of little known DC characters. I like that each of the Creatures have pretty well fleshed out backstories and you understand why theyre personalities are the way they are.
What i didnt like was how constrained the whole series is. Clear as day that Gunn was told "soft launch this and keep the story elements light enough that we can pivot toward or away from it at any point".
Like there was so many ways they couldve made the Pokolistan Princess thing more intriguing (have it so that shes a proxy for a Darkseid/Dominators invasion? Trying to summon Mordru?) but that wasnt the intent.
The main focus was just to see if people even have interest in a Creature Commandos concept. In a lot of ways thats pretty in line with how Zaslav feels about animation (in that. he hates it) so the fact that the show was even greenlit should be appreciated.
