Warning: Contains spoilers for Episode 1 of Creature Commandos.

The episode does suffer slightly from pacing issues—juggling seven main characters in 22 minutes is a lot—but the emotional core is solid.

Enter Amanda Waller (Viola Davis, reprising her role). Due to legal restrictions on using human operatives like the Suicide Squad, Waller pulls a technicality: if they aren’t human, the rules don’t apply.

If you thought DC’s new universe would be safe or predictable, "The Collywobbles" just melted your face off and asked for a hug. Don’t miss the post-credits scene where G.I. Robot tries to adopt a stray cat. Enter Amanda Waller (Viola Davis, reprising her role)

The most poignant sequence belongs to The Bride. We learn she was not born, but made —stitched together from corpses and brought to life by Frankenstein as his "perfect mate." Horrified by her own existence, she tried to escape, leading to a violent confrontation where she killed her creator. The twist? Frankenstein didn’t die. He’s been chasing her across centuries, a toxic, immortal ex who refuses to take no for an answer. Her crime? "Attempted murder of a former lover who deserved it." Just as the team secures Princess Ilana, Rick Flag Sr. receives a private transmission from Waller. The mission was never about protecting the princess. Ilana is in possession of a powerful weapon—a piece of the "Heart of the Dragon," a magical artifact that could destabilize the region. Waller orders Flag to retrieve it by any means necessary, even if it means betraying Ilana.

The episode ends with Flag looking at his monstrous team, then back at the trusting princess, and whispering: "This is going to be ugly." Creature Commandos Episode 1 is everything fans of The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker could hope for. It’s R-rated animation with stunning, moody art direction (reminiscent of Arcane but grittier). The voice cast is impeccable, especially Indira Varma as the deadpan, tragic Bride and David Harbour as her pathetic, terrifying ex.
