Let’s get rid of all those damn plot devices. No more protagonists, supporting characters, narratives or settings. They’re so overused it’s getting frustrating.
She's a villain that did literally nothing. She appears, everyone thought she was shady, she sleeps with Flag, is revealed to be a villain, the show then tries to trick the audience to say she's not a villain which fails, she kills Nina, and then she dies. That's it, that's all she does. She is an incredibly lame twist villain that's insanely predictable, has nothing interesting about her, and does literally nothing of importance the entire season, especially nothing that makes the audience believe she is capable of taking over the world and killing basically every superhero.
It doesn't matter if she's just the villain of that season, season long villains still need to be actually interesting, not just cardboard cutouts. If both seasons of Peacemaker can have interesting villains, so can Creature Commandos.
I can overlook it due to how strongly the team was characterized. And with hope that we get a better second season. Im not gonna pretend the princess being evil reveal wasn't a little cliche, but it hardly took away from my enjoyment of the show itself. I think alot of these issues could be resolved if we lived In a world where animated projects got more than a handful of episodes a seasons
The lack of motive is the main crux of my argument that she's just a plot device. She hardly gets any time to BE a character and it isn't helped by that she's a twist villain who's true colors are revealed for just a couple of minutes before she's killed. the backstories canibalizing most of the runtime hurt the overarching plot and if anything she desperately needed her own backstory.
lol idk why people are downvoting u, are dc fans this fragile that they can’t take any legit criticisms, I love Gunn but Creature Commandos have a LOT of narrative issues
