I’m not saying James Gunn is perfect, and I can understand having some issues with his taste, but I have a hard time really understanding why Grace is sooo put off by his work. Like the way she talked about Peacemaker, I was expecting it to be extremely vile and tone deaf, and while it wasn’t a Pixar flick, I ended up having a hard time finding what was sooo problematic about it lol. There’s wayyyy worse stuff out there than anything that Gunn has put out, and I find most of his content pretty progressive even by todays standards.
I’m just tired of the same thing over and over from Gunn. Shows/movies about mismatched characters who are misfits coming together to do a task. I saw it with GOTG, I saw it with TSS, I saw it partially with PM, and now this. I think it’s fair criticism to say he’s repeating the same formula with different characters.

Frank grille was filming another show and had to have his hair black and that’s why he couldn’t have his hair like flag sr in the comics (long before Gunn had that hairstyle)
surely you can tell by now that "deep cut" means 'not yet known'. and in gunn's hand, judging by his track record, deep cut characters can be money makers too. guardians was "deep cut". peacemaker was "deep cut". i have no doubt some of these deep cut characters are going to be popular in pop culture also once gunn has his way with them.
Im all for it. DC has been so small for so long and ive been screaming for them to use more characters and they just absolutely refuse to expand what is known. I knew once Gunn came we would get more characters and different tones. Everything ive wanted since 2002
12:32 Grace is trying to cancel the guy? Is just a story, why don't question another movies and tv shows about this, it's pretty weird don't have this posture with another productions
Regarding the "Fantasy" Criticism: Grillo talked about the fact that he wanted to change his hair color for Superman and Peacemaker, but wasn't able to because he had to keep his hair the way it was for another movie. And I get that Gunn making an appearance in the intro seems odd, but that was tbe directors idea not Gunn's. I get where your coming from but to me it sounds more like coincidences than Gunn's "Fantasy", that's honestly pretty hard accusation
Yeah, Gunn mentioned on an interview that Grillo was shooting Tulsa King with that look. Honestly I don't want anyone to harp on this --- remember CGI babyfake Cavill?
9:10 Nolan and Matt reeve got the easy character. Aka batman anybody can make a batman movie. It's. Same dunk he's the 2nd biggest super hero of all time. Like Spiderman. Batman is intentionally dark and grounded in His world. That doesn't work for Flash, or Superman.
I feel like Peacemaker, Creature Commandos, and Waller were all shows Gunn was working on back before he was CEO of DC movies. Back when he was just supposed to stick in the Suicide Squad side of DC and flesh out that universe while Dwayne Johnson did his thing… Obviously the original plan fell through and Gunn became CEO and I’m pretty sure he carried a lot of his projects with him cuz they were practically already written, that’s why CC came out before the others
Her issue with Gunn’s women and “normalizing toxicity” is hypocritical when she praises The Boys without mentioning how toxic it is to men with its treatment of Huey. At least be consistent Grace.
@aaaustinnn my point is that she still enjoys and gives the Boys praise despite acknowledging and pointing out the problematic elements around men-she doesn’t let it effect her enjoyment or rating. It’s different here, obviously, when she says that Peacemaker is abhorrent and unwatchable for her or how the Bride’s story in Creature Commandos was a mistake and hurt her viewing experience.
@@Amory-wd3wseh I think her praise versus criticism has more to do with the quality of the show surrounding it but not trying to speak for anybody either. Was just responding to the part where you said she hadn’t mentioned it because I remembered that being talked about quite a bit.
You clearly didn't understand the boys at all. The boys is a toxic show that shows the worst of what people are and it always addresses that these acts are not good for people. Using Huey as an example is stupid Bec in the show you see him take charge and counter and speak about how people treat him
This is just me. James Gunn’s toxicity doesn’t bother me because it’s real. What you briefly said about The Bride and Frankenstein is what I grew up around. I have cousins right now who are in toxic relationships regardless of the family’s best intentions to make them see otherwise. Isn’t what people like about DC is that it’s more “real” and dark than Marvel? Because Harley disregarding her character development in Birds of Prey, for a cute face that is acknowledging her, even though it’s manipulation, in The Suicide Squad is all too real.
Yesterday I was defending Grace on another TH-camrs video about how Grace always bashed James Gunn’s work and never does any DC reactions, but here we go. 20 minutes of Htave just bashing James hun and DC work. Ima go hide in a rock until November 25th when creature Comandos comes out 👀 👀
I like the Harley Quinn animated series and I liked Peacemaker and The Suicide Squad. Therefore I would like Creature Commandos. Hence I don't know what Grace is talking about. Maybe Harley Quinn had LGBTQ representation and Creature Commandos is more straight, but that isn't a problem at all. It's a Grace's problem. 😂😂
James Gunn's success will be based on Superman's success. This is just a side project. It doesn't need to be his magnum opus. If Superman works, everything else will work.
Mary Shelley's (a woman) spends a huge portion of the book trying to humanize the monster in a problematic way. Her point was that evil can be done from good intentions especially when they derive from the search for meaning, happiness, and self pity. The novel doesn't take a strong stance on which character is ultimately right or just. Morality is supposed to be disturbing.
I can’t imagine a world where James Gunn makes a “bad” Superman film. Like I’m almost certain it’s going to be at minimum “good”, I’m more so worried about the box office numbers.
For someone whose job is to keep up with the entertainment bizz' I'm surprised you wouldn't do the due diligence to research why Frank Grillo doesn't have the exact white hair as his Creature Commando's counterpart (scheduling with his other projects prevented them from dyeing, spray-on also looks like sh*t according to Gunn). Not knowing these facts would generally not be a big deal except your ridiculous claims that Rick Flag Sr. is a James Gunn insert makes it so. Dean Lorey who's the showrunner of CC (also works on Harley Quinn) said they put James Gunn in the intro, it was a surprise to Gunn.
Ahem - there was a scheduling reason for why they needed to digitally remove Henry Cavill's mustache for the Joss Whedon Justice League. Didn't change the fact it was stupid & distracting.
@@BeyondTheTrailer this isn’t the own you think it is. On one hand you have a poorly edited CGI issue that’s distracting because of unintentional uncanny valley-on the other you have a character having a hair color that’s a shade darker than James Gunn. It’s only distracting because you’re projecting something onto the character that isn’t there.
The logo is the IP. Marvel has an amazing excitement effect because it has grown itself over time, in cinematic universe. DC’s logo will grow too I believe with its projects, and we hope Superman movie will kick start this build up hopefully. From what I see from other reviews, the Creature Commandoes is already building a strong IP. Looking at the current rotten tomato rating we can guess who is the lone rotten one lol.
Are they? We don't even know yet whether the DCUverse/Gunnverse will be a success to any degree. For all we know Gunn's Superman : Legacy will flop harder than Man of Steel. Getting a little bit ahead of yourself there, bud.
DC Universe has a variety of styles, tones, stories and characters. I like that Gunn is putting a spotlight on obscure characters. Long term this may be better for DC IP overall if he can make these characters popular.
How can we take this review serious when you say things like "if they just included Amethyst, a character I personally like, my review would been more positive" and "this show is vulgar and don't like it.. Harley is vulgar too yeah, but I like that one" Where's the professionalism..
They literally approached him to write an animated show before he was hired. Of course it’s James Gunny and also Frank has said many times that he was filming Tulsa king and that’s why he couldn’t dye his hair😐😐😐. And Dean, the guy who’s in charge of Harley and Kite man is the one that put Gunn in the intro🙃🙃🙃
Every time Grace reviews something by James Gunn relating to DC, you know she’s going to hate it and find things to complain about. She clearly has an agenda against Gunn lol
She says in every review she respects people who enjoy his work but has her own issues with it. Issues that she states clearly and respectfully, all while acknowledging the positives she found. That’s not an agenda, it’s a personal opinion. She respects yours, you can respect hers.
She has a bias against his style and acknowledges that with her preference statements. I don’t care for Taylor Swift music; but I acknowledge that many people do and she is the biggest pop star on the planet currently. Doesn’t mean that I can’t call out her juvenile immature lyrics; lack of strong melodies. The same with Grace’s subjective understanding of Gunn’s work. Grace calls it as she sees it.
I agree. Everyone would watch Schindler's List at least once and be uncomfortable. As for DC cartoon meant for entertainment and fun with no historical, political, or social messaging... its nothing more than a style choice nothing deeper.
The irony with your comment of course is the fact that James Gunn and Grace probable stand on the same side of the political aisle. Particularly where current modern day politics are involved. Unless the implication here is that you're not actually familiar with James Gunn's political stances.
@@Cbricklyne I agree completely that her and him are on the same side politically. I don't make a distinction when it comes to her "feminist" whining. I'm not referring to that aspect of her politics.
Okay so I'm confused. Aren't these guys supposed to be bad guys? I would kinda expect them to be and do problematic things. I haven't seen the show yet, but just wondering.
I agree. She doesnt like the material but she took the time to watch the show and she was honest. I think people who like Gunn and people who dont like Gunn can learn a lot from her review.
Dayum Grace! Let me find out that James Gunn is the Joker to your Batman 😂😂😂. You guys are in there like Optimus and Megatron.."One shall stand, and one shall fall" 😅
I don’t think people are that media illiterate. A bad thing may happen in a show but we’re not that stupid as humans we need a flashing caption doing ‘THIS IS WRONG’. It’s a show full of villains. Of course they’ll be toxic elements.
Absolute Woosh moment…. It went completely over your head and you entirely missed the point. And the answer is no, for the record. You are thinking about representation in its simplest form… not toxicity. Switching genders for a toxic situation changes absolutely nothing and is still toxic.
I LOVE the animated Harley Quinn series. James Gunn even had a cameo in it! I also loved Peacemaker and The Suicide Squad. I really enjoyed Guardians 1, less so for Guardians 2 and detested Guardians 3 so I'm no diehard Gunn fan. Guess this Creature Commandos show might be a toss up for me. 🤷🏻♂️
James Gunn did say in an interview this was in development before he became head of DC and he fully greenlit it once he got the gig, meaning this was way ahead of anything else that was developed after (Superman, Peacemaker season 2, etc), I will agree it is unfortunate that it became the first official DC Studios project when Superman should have been it, but I guess they didn't want to shelve this one. As someone who really enjoyed his Suicide Squad and especially Peacemaker, hearing that it is in the same vein (and it should since it is the same corner) makes me rest easy, but I do get that this style is not for everyone and there are some problematic facets to it. Here's hoping Superman will be better suited for a larger audience and the rest of the DCU will be creatively different and driven as Gunn as promised.
@@alexdean9287 From my understanding Peacemaker season 2 was given the go ahead, but Gunn still didn't do anything before he became head and didn't even begin writing it before Superman. As for Superman I didn't know it was in development before he was head, it is interesting that he still proceeded with Creatures Commandos first then, probably was till further ahead. Curious how Superman would have shapen up if they went another way with DC overall, if it would have been a The Batman case or something different.
@eugenio_iacono People should know that DC Studios is going to have verities of styles and tones and we have already seen what they did with "The Penguin" not all characters will have same tone, neither will else world projects be the same as the DCU projects ( even the DCU projects will not be the same in tone ) they want to make every one happen and so why do people complain about Gunn's style while also it has its fans ( the difference here is that gunn's style is what they have started with because his the boss but if you don't like it ) then you have to wait for other director's work, ie Supergirl WOT, and so on
@michaelkaggwa4915 TBF while Gunn helped with Penguin, I do think it is still very much a Reeveverse product not tied in any way to anything Gunn will do. That said the fact that he let Reeves continue his vision untouched is a great sign and it is in line with what Gunn said so far, so I am optimistic that is indeed what he will do with the DCU, but I agree that we will only know once we see Supergirl and especially Lanterns
You make a good point- I noticed yesterday, Creature Commandos wasn't trending at all, James Gunn was. I'm not a business person, but I imagine Warner Bros want their IP getting recognition, not just their employee..
Theres more of this because its excellent lol, the suicide failed at the cinema because of many context like pandemic and ayers SS, alot watched it since and loved it. He made the most generally loved dc projects in recent years.
Best of luck with this comment section Grace. I for one, love listening to your opinion. Even as someone who loved a huge chunk of Gunn’s work. And The Suicide Squad too. Thanks for always giving things the benefit of the doubt, but staying firm in your opinions afterwards. Even if it hugely controversial. I respect it a ton. ❤
LOL - So I was playing this in the background and then you mentioned Amethyst, Princess of GemWorld! I was so shocked!!! And then it was a miss direct... and I was sad again.
Why is Rick Flags hair white / silver like Gunn’s in the show but Grillo’s black in Superman? lol Such a little thing but if you like tight canon I think theirs going to be a lot that bugs you about this coming DCU
I couldn’t put my finger on why I just wasn’t jazzed about Gunn taking over DC. But when you pointed out how he “Gary Stu’d” his way into this show, as well as the constant casting of his folks and storylines, Im counting myself out on this. Too much look at me.
I've seen a lot of negative comments so I just wanted to say this Grace, I appreciate your coverage and there's some of us who have the exact issue with James Gunn's taste in his projects.
I think I might like this show, but I agree that this shouldn't have kicked off the new DC era. This show should have been like the tenth project into the DCU not the first. I love this review cause even though Grace hated it, she did admire certain aspects of the show and gave credit to James Gunn.
@BobbyTheDogGuy Yes and the quality of those look great... Having to change one characters hair colour in every frame and scene I doubt it worth the time and resource. Even with spray on temp hairdye Gunn and Frank addressed it themselves it looks awful
@@BusterBarnes ive seen an appleTV plus show that recolored a dog in every single shot, it looked perfect. If a show can do it a movie can do it. Its lazy to not recolor the hair
I really wanna see a true joker and Harley Quinn abuse story. I haven’t seen any depiction that highlights it in a way that people can see how devastating it can be. And thus giving Harley a true story when she eventually emancipates herself from the joker.
Not so much a deep cut but rather, I think instead of this, Gunn should have done a "Hitman (Tommy Monaghan)" animated or live action series or movie. It's raunchy, subversive and perfectly on brand for James Gunn. Created by Garth Ennis (The Boys, Preacher) for DC Comics, the character has teamed up with the JLA and is a regular at Noonan's Bar (Kite Man, Hell Yeah!).
I personally think James Gunn is a sick freak. Its no surprise that he cant help himself to NOT put himself into this show. The Rick Flag design is egregious.
I like James Gunn and I want to be pissed at Grace's bias opinion but honestly I treat zack snyder the exact same way she treats james gunn. I know he has his fans too.
Grace didn’t like The Suicide Squad or Peacemaker…. She’s not gonna like this.

I get where your coming from but to me it sounds more like coincidences than Gunn's "Fantasy", that's honestly pretty hard accusation
Yeah, Gunn mentioned on an interview that Grillo was shooting Tulsa King with that look. Honestly I don't want anyone to harp on this --- remember CGI babyfake Cavill?
pretty convenient coincidences if u ask me too convenient
@ or maybe this an absolute reach.
9:10 Nolan and Matt reeve got the easy character. Aka batman anybody can make a batman movie. It's. Same dunk he's the 2nd biggest super hero of all time. Like Spiderman.
Batman is intentionally dark and grounded in His world. That doesn't work for Flash, or Superman.
Batman isn't grounded that's an excuse writer's to keep him away from the rest of the DC world. Falsely calling it fresh.
I feel like Peacemaker, Creature Commandos, and Waller were all shows Gunn was working on back before he was CEO of DC movies. Back when he was just supposed to stick in the Suicide Squad side of DC and flesh out that universe while Dwayne Johnson did his thing… Obviously the original plan fell through and Gunn became CEO and I’m pretty sure he carried a lot of his projects with him cuz they were practically already written, that’s why CC came out before the others
Her issue with Gunn’s women and “normalizing toxicity” is hypocritical when she praises The Boys without mentioning how toxic it is to men with its treatment of Huey. At least be consistent Grace.
She mentioned The Boys’ Huey treatment and the reaction to it plenty of times during her coverage of this latest season, what are you talking about?
@aaaustinnn my point is that she still enjoys and gives the Boys praise despite acknowledging and pointing out the problematic elements around men-she doesn’t let it effect her enjoyment or rating. It’s different here, obviously, when she says that Peacemaker is abhorrent and unwatchable for her or how the Bride’s story in Creature Commandos was a mistake and hurt her viewing experience.
@@Amory-wd3wseh I think her praise versus criticism has more to do with the quality of the show surrounding it but not trying to speak for anybody either. Was just responding to the part where you said she hadn’t mentioned it because I remembered that being talked about quite a bit.
You clearly didn't understand the boys at all. The boys is a toxic show that shows the worst of what people are and it always addresses that these acts are not good for people. Using Huey as an example is stupid Bec in the show you see him take charge and counter and speak about how people treat him
@@Amory-wd3ws Because while its the same material it is handeled difffrently
This is just me. James Gunn’s toxicity doesn’t bother me because it’s real. What you briefly said about The Bride and Frankenstein is what I grew up around. I have cousins right now who are in toxic relationships regardless of the family’s best intentions to make them see otherwise. Isn’t what people like about DC is that it’s more “real” and dark than Marvel? Because Harley disregarding her character development in Birds of Prey, for a cute face that is acknowledging her, even though it’s manipulation, in The Suicide Squad is all too real.
james gunn isnt toxic lol
Yesterday I was defending Grace on another TH-camrs video about how Grace always bashed James Gunn’s work and never does any DC reactions, but here we go.
20 minutes of Htave just bashing James hun and DC work. Ima go hide in a rock until November 25th when creature Comandos comes out 👀 👀
You ignored every single time she complimented his work and only focused on her polite way of disagreeing on his way of making content.
I like the Harley Quinn animated series and I liked Peacemaker and The Suicide Squad. Therefore I would like Creature Commandos.
Hence I don't know what Grace is talking about.
Maybe Harley Quinn had LGBTQ representation and Creature Commandos is more straight, but that isn't a problem at all. It's a Grace's problem. 😂😂
James Gunn's success will be based on Superman's success. This is just a side project. It doesn't need to be his magnum opus.
If Superman works, everything else will work.
Mary Shelley's (a woman) spends a huge portion of the book trying to humanize the monster in a problematic way. Her point was that evil can be done from good intentions especially when they derive from the search for meaning, happiness, and self pity. The novel doesn't take a strong stance on which character is ultimately right or just. Morality is supposed to be disturbing.
James gunn one of the best director wish more movies from him
LOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!
@@kadylady9364 Can you tell us how much GOTG3 made at the box office?
@@casualhamburger9607 845m isn't bad
Creature commando got a good rt score, James Gunn might deliver the Superman movie but i still nervous about it
I can’t imagine a world where James Gunn makes a “bad” Superman film. Like I’m almost certain it’s going to be at minimum “good”, I’m more so worried about the box office numbers.
For someone whose job is to keep up with the entertainment bizz' I'm surprised you wouldn't do the due diligence to research why Frank Grillo doesn't have the exact white hair as his Creature Commando's counterpart (scheduling with his other projects prevented them from dyeing, spray-on also looks like sh*t according to Gunn). Not knowing these facts would generally not be a big deal except your ridiculous claims that Rick Flag Sr. is a James Gunn insert makes it so. Dean Lorey who's the showrunner of CC (also works on Harley Quinn) said they put James Gunn in the intro, it was a surprise to Gunn.
Ahem - there was a scheduling reason for why they needed to digitally remove Henry Cavill's mustache for the Joss Whedon Justice League. Didn't change the fact it was stupid & distracting.
@@BeyondTheTrailer this isn’t the own you think it is. On one hand you have a poorly edited CGI issue that’s distracting because of unintentional uncanny valley-on the other you have a character having a hair color that’s a shade darker than James Gunn. It’s only distracting because you’re projecting something onto the character that isn’t there.
@@BeyondTheTrailer But you didn't talk about the scheduling reason.
Grace just doesn’t have good taste. Everything she hates I love 😂
Read her Supurbia comic
@ your proving my point even more lol
The implication there is that you have good taste.
You only have yourself as confirmation of that claim.
@@Cbricklyne yes, that's how opinions work bud.
but equating your personal tastes with categorically good taste is worse than anything Grace said here haha
Grace should interview James Gunn on her channel!
Some people just want to watch the world burn
that would be the funniest thing ever
That would break the internet lol
And the interview should be conducted in person!
The logo is the IP. Marvel has an amazing excitement effect because it has grown itself over time, in cinematic universe. DC’s logo will grow too I believe with its projects, and we hope Superman movie will kick start this build up hopefully. From what I see from other reviews, the Creature Commandoes is already building a strong IP.
Looking at the current rotten tomato rating we can guess who is the lone rotten one lol.
Snyderverse Fangirls Are Crying
Gunn's little bitches coping
All they have are tantrums and hashtags.
Are they?
We don't even know yet whether the DCUverse/Gunnverse will be a success to any degree.
For all we know Gunn's Superman : Legacy will flop harder than Man of Steel.
Getting a little bit ahead of yourself there, bud.
@Cbricklyne Superman Legacy is Going to be Successful
They missed out releasing this on Halloween 🎃
Only because they had no intention to release it on halloween and overlapping with S&L that ended yesterday
@@TylerGoldbarttrue Gunn loved that show and wanted to save it for one more season I believe
It’s not missing out if they didn’t want to release it on Halloween.
DC Universe has a variety of styles, tones, stories and characters. I like that Gunn is putting a spotlight on obscure characters. Long term this may be better for DC IP overall if he can make these characters popular.
@gqd1975 Sure
How can we take this review serious when you say things like "if they just included Amethyst, a character I personally like, my review would been more positive" and "this show is vulgar and don't like it.. Harley is vulgar too yeah, but I like that one" Where's the professionalism..
@juancarloscannavaro9553 thanks for asking her the question about her professionalism
They literally approached him to write an animated show before he was hired. Of course it’s James Gunny and also Frank has said many times that he was filming Tulsa king and that’s why he couldn’t dye his hair😐😐😐. And Dean, the guy who’s in charge of Harley and Kite man is the one that put Gunn in the intro🙃🙃🙃
Grace giving Gunn a fresh review? Wow
she is giving her own opinion plz be respectfull
Well said
opposing opinions are not disrespect
How’s your Alt MTTS on twitter going grace
Every time Grace reviews something by James Gunn relating to DC, you know she’s going to hate it and find things to complain about. She clearly has an agenda against Gunn lol
She says in every review she respects people who enjoy his work but has her own issues with it. Issues that she states clearly and respectfully, all while acknowledging the positives she found. That’s not an agenda, it’s a personal opinion. She respects yours, you can respect hers.
She has a bias against his style and acknowledges that with her preference statements. I don’t care for Taylor Swift music; but I acknowledge that many people do and she is the biggest pop star on the planet currently. Doesn’t mean that I can’t call out her juvenile immature lyrics; lack of strong melodies.
The same with Grace’s subjective understanding of Gunn’s work. Grace calls it as she sees it.
@@mallory9486having an opposing opinion is not disrespect
Do you know what’s ridiculous? This isn’t airing in the UK yet… The start of the new DCU and not everyone can watch it at the same time 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Use vpn, Max works with vpn
Its not released yet. Its going to release on 5th of December
That’s why USA 🇺🇸 is the best country on planet earth 🫡🦅🪖
Same here I can't watch it here and am not gonna pirate it
@@ajnunez8788BAHAHAHA nono
Rick Flag does not look like James Gunn in this show. Seems like you’re trying to push your own narrative here Grace.
lmfao u either blind or in denial
Rick Flag has grey hair because he is playing the father of the Rick Flag in the Suicide Squad films. The character is in his 60’s or 70’s.
u must be the biggest james gunn fanboy cuz everyone has said, he made rick flag look like himself. everyone can see it but u cuz ur a stan
@@thebuckrogers22no he doesn’t wtf?
Lmao BOY IF YOU DONT STOP PLAYIN 😂
16:31 he is the main reason for me to watch this show 😅 also a Green Lantern cameo, but that's just me
Not everything should make you comfortable, especially considering your politics.
I agree. Everyone would watch Schindler's List at least once and be uncomfortable.
As for DC cartoon meant for entertainment and fun with no historical, political, or social messaging... its nothing more than a style choice nothing deeper.
The irony with your comment of course is the fact that James Gunn and Grace probable stand on the same side of the political aisle.
Particularly where current modern day politics are involved.
Unless the implication here is that you're not actually familiar with James Gunn's political stances.
@@Cbricklyne I agree completely that her and him are on the same side politically. I don't make a distinction when it comes to her "feminist" whining. I'm not referring to that aspect of her politics.
We all know where this is gonna go when Grace starts with “You knoooooowww…”
To say that Alan doesnt have viice range is so deranged
GRACE WILL NEVER LEARN, SMH!
Okay so I'm confused. Aren't these guys supposed to be bad guys? I would kinda expect them to be and do problematic things. I haven't seen the show yet, but just wondering.
SERIOUSLY, COME ON GRACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I finished watching the review and I have to commend Grace on being a true professional! Loved hearing your thoughts on this.
I agree. She doesnt like the material but she took the time to watch the show and she was honest. I think people who like Gunn and people who dont like Gunn can learn a lot from her review.
Didn't Grace say that John Cena's career was over after his tighty whitey's dance number on Peacemaker?
Dayum Grace! Let me find out that James Gunn is the Joker to your Batman 😂😂😂. You guys are in there like Optimus and Megatron.."One shall stand, and one shall fall" 😅
I don’t think people are that media illiterate. A bad thing may happen in a show but we’re not that stupid as humans we need a flashing caption doing ‘THIS IS WRONG’. It’s a show full of villains. Of course they’ll be toxic elements.
with how open james gunn has been on social media, I'd really like to see grace interview him.
"Gunn normalises toxic behavior towards women" - if the genders were swapped would it be "empowering"?
Nice burn. Unfortunately true
Absolute Woosh moment….
It went completely over your head and you entirely missed the point. And the answer is no, for the record. You are thinking about representation in its simplest form… not toxicity. Switching genders for a toxic situation changes absolutely nothing and is still toxic.
Only watch Grace's review after you've seen the series, as she tends to diminish the excitement.
I LOVE the animated Harley Quinn series. James Gunn even had a cameo in it! I also loved Peacemaker and The Suicide Squad.
I really enjoyed Guardians 1, less so for Guardians 2 and detested Guardians 3 so I'm no diehard Gunn fan.
Guess this Creature Commandos show might be a toss up for me. 🤷🏻♂️
James Gunn did say in an interview this was in development before he became head of DC and he fully greenlit it once he got the gig, meaning this was way ahead of anything else that was developed after (Superman, Peacemaker season 2, etc), I will agree it is unfortunate that it became the first official DC Studios project when Superman should have been it, but I guess they didn't want to shelve this one.
As someone who really enjoyed his Suicide Squad and especially Peacemaker, hearing that it is in the same vein (and it should since it is the same corner) makes me rest easy, but I do get that this style is not for everyone and there are some problematic facets to it. Here's hoping Superman will be better suited for a larger audience and the rest of the DCU will be creatively different and driven as Gunn as promised.
Gunn has to make Superman make at least 800 million or his job is on the line. That is pressure.
superman and peacemaker seeason 2 weree also in development before james became the head
@@alexdean9287 From my understanding Peacemaker season 2 was given the go ahead, but Gunn still didn't do anything before he became head and didn't even begin writing it before Superman. As for Superman I didn't know it was in development before he was head, it is interesting that he still proceeded with Creatures Commandos first then, probably was till further ahead. Curious how Superman would have shapen up if they went another way with DC overall, if it would have been a The Batman case or something different.
@eugenio_iacono People should know that DC Studios is going to have verities of styles and tones and we have already seen what they did with "The Penguin" not all characters will have same tone, neither will else world projects be the same as the DCU projects ( even the DCU projects will not be the same in tone ) they want to make every one happen and so why do people complain about Gunn's style while also it has its fans ( the difference here is that gunn's style is what they have started with because his the boss but if you don't like it ) then you have to wait for other director's work, ie Supergirl WOT, and so on
@michaelkaggwa4915 TBF while Gunn helped with Penguin, I do think it is still very much a Reeveverse product not tied in any way to anything Gunn will do. That said the fact that he let Reeves continue his vision untouched is a great sign and it is in line with what Gunn said so far, so I am optimistic that is indeed what he will do with the DCU, but I agree that we will only know once we see Supergirl and especially Lanterns
You said quite frankly
Dc's Stargirl was amazing THATS my dc
You make a good point- I noticed yesterday, Creature Commandos wasn't trending at all, James Gunn was. I'm not a business person, but I imagine Warner Bros want their IP getting recognition, not just their employee..
Could be because hes the only one talking, but when he does, hes either promoting the content or answering questions about it
The show isn't even out yet
@@ChyeahWill yes, I'm saying the reviews for the show came out, and they were very positive, but the show didn't trend for it.
Grace just doesn't like James Gunns style. I think JAmes is good at making me care about less known characters
DC deep cuts I would love to see: Prez, Dial "H" for Hero, Camelot 3000, Night Force, Cain and Abel and Lady Cop. 😊
Theres more of this because its excellent lol, the suicide failed at the cinema because of many context like pandemic and ayers SS, alot watched it since and loved it. He made the most generally loved dc projects in recent years.
That weird fucking Wanda account on twitter that hangs off Grace's every word is going to be buzzing.
Creepy Stan accounts are the worst 🤣
Best of luck with this comment section Grace. I for one, love listening to your opinion. Even as someone who loved a huge chunk of Gunn’s work. And The Suicide Squad too. Thanks for always giving things the benefit of the doubt, but staying firm in your opinions afterwards. Even if it hugely controversial. I respect it a ton. ❤
LOL - So I was playing this in the background and then you mentioned Amethyst, Princess of GemWorld! I was so shocked!!!
And then it was a miss direct... and I was sad again.
She just doesn’t learn smh
Why is Rick Flags hair white / silver like Gunn’s in the show but Grillo’s black in Superman? lol Such a little thing but if you like tight canon I think theirs going to be a lot that bugs you about this coming DCU
This is Rick Flag Sr. and Grilo wasn't able to die his hair gray, due to another project
I couldn’t put my finger on why I just wasn’t jazzed about Gunn taking over DC. But when you pointed out how he “Gary Stu’d” his way into this show, as well as the constant casting of his folks and storylines, Im counting myself out on this. Too much look at me.
GRACE HAS BAD TASTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why do you hate James Gunn?
"you knnooooooow" oooh not off to a good start
I've seen a lot of negative comments so I just wanted to say this Grace, I appreciate your coverage and there's some of us who have the exact issue with James Gunn's taste in his projects.
Frankenstein is problematic in Creature Commandos? Wait until you see what he did in his own movie!
@TheWisestWizards so people are forgetting that these are monsters and we are starting the " Gods and Monsters"
I’m excited to see how Creature Commandos is gonna lead into Superman & Peacemaker Season 2 to start The New DCU! DC Animation is finally back!
I think I might like this show, but I agree that this shouldn't have kicked off the new DC era. This show should have been like the tenth project into the DCU not the first. I love this review cause even though Grace hated it, she did admire certain aspects of the show and gave credit to James Gunn.
Grace ignoring that theyve addressed the the Rick Flag Sr hair colour change. Its because Frank had scheduling conflicts
There are snapchat filters that can change hair colors. So why cant a huge studio change hair color in post?
@BobbyTheDogGuy Yes and the quality of those look great... Having to change one characters hair colour in every frame and scene I doubt it worth the time and resource. Even with spray on temp hairdye Gunn and Frank addressed it themselves it looks awful
@@BusterBarnes ive seen an appleTV plus show that recolored a dog in every single shot, it looked perfect. If a show can do it a movie can do it. Its lazy to not recolor the hair
@@BobbyTheDogGuyor it's just hair color.
@@BobbyTheDogGuy and how do you know whether its changed or not? we have not seen the trailer yet
gunn’s side of twitter is going to have a field day with this 😂
I DO recall the Princess of Gemworld, and would've LOVED her return.
I really wanna see a true joker and Harley Quinn abuse story. I haven’t seen any depiction that highlights it in a way that people can see how devastating it can be. And thus giving Harley a true story when she eventually emancipates herself from the joker.
....
go watch joker 2
Very Interested in this. Still nervous for DCU but seems like it’ll be a fun first few projects
OMG THE AMETHYST REFERENCE I would’ve loved that too!! I hope she gets used in his universe since he loves deep cuts
Not so much a deep cut but rather, I think instead of this, Gunn should have done a "Hitman (Tommy Monaghan)" animated or live action series or movie. It's raunchy, subversive and perfectly on brand for James Gunn. Created by Garth Ennis (The Boys, Preacher) for DC Comics, the character has teamed up with the JLA and is a regular at Noonan's Bar (Kite Man, Hell Yeah!).
I personally think James Gunn is a sick freak. Its no surprise that he cant help himself to NOT put himself into this show. The Rick Flag design is egregious.
How are gonna blame him when Gunn just write for this show? Different people animate it. Please make it make sense
I swear Grace reviews sometimes. I appreciate her opinion smh
He didnt green lite the series. He had already wrote it
Is there a James Gunn project that Grace likes
She like his Guardian of the Galaxies work
If it’s like the 2nd season of HQ I’m good
I like James Gunn and I want to be pissed at Grace's bias opinion but honestly I treat zack snyder the exact same way she treats james gunn. I know he has his fans too.
look, maybe you hadn't noticed but gunn seems to have a bit of an ego on him so i believe that explains the whole flag aesthetic
