This article contains spoilers for Creature Commandos episode 4.In the post-credit scene of James Gunns first DC outing The Suicide Squad, we see that one of the team members didnt live up to the groups name. Weasel is still alive, free to scurry back out into the night.To the viewers of the movie, Weasels fate was a very, very bad thing. Sure, he may seem harmless and sure, hes played by the lovable Sean Gunn. But he ended up in the Squad because he did very bad things. Namely, he killed 27 children.Thats dark, even for the nasty things that have happened in Gunns DC run so far, which includes The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker, and Creature Commandos. Yet, in all of the press leading up to the premiere of Creature Commandos, including a conversation with Den of Geek, Gunn and the shows stars have said that Weasel is their favorite character. Sean Gunn even went so far as to tell Den of Geek that he didnt think Weasel had an ounce of evil in him.How could they say that about a creature imprisoned for the murder of children?With the fourth episode of Creature Commandos, we finally get the answer. Chasing Squirrels delves into Weasels backstory. In-between prepping for trial with his lawyer (voiced by Linda Cardellini, who previously worked with Gunn playing Velma in Scooby-Doo), a group of neglected children find Weasel while playing in an abandoned school. The outcasts form a community, with Weasel finally discovering people who accept him and the kids getting to have the childhood denied to them.It all goes wrong when a passerby notices the kids playing with Weasel. Mistaking their horseplay for an attack, the passerby calls the authorities, but also grabs a gun to help the kids himself. Between the mans fear and the kids playing recklessly with fire, a boiler explodes, killing many of the kids instantly. Worse, the authorities confuse Weasels attempts to rescue the survivors as a further attack, and they prevent him from saving anyone. In the end, all 27 die, Weasel taking all of the blame.Chasing Squirrels continues the Creature Commandos model of revealing that its main monsters have far more humanity than previously expected. On one hand, theres nothing too novel to a story that shows we misunderstood a good person for something horrible after all Frankensteins Monster is a character on the show. On the other hand, the further context gives us more insight into the DC Universe that Gunn is making with DC Studios co-head Peter Safran.Its been remarked by many that Gunns superhero movies, excellent as they are, tend to be edgier and nasty. Remember, one of the high points in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 involved Yondu slaughtering a bunch of people. So its a bit odd that he would take the reins on Superman. And even though the first trailer to Superman looks (and feels!) amazing, the guts and insults in Creature Commandos revives those questions.Yet, Creature Commandos is as much about our limited judgments as it is everything else. As Chasing Squirrels shows, with its reveal of Princess Ilanas true plan, goodness and badness isnt skin deep. And if thats not something Superman would say, I dont know what is.Creature Commandos streams every Thursday on Max.Join our mailing listGet the best of Den of Geek delivered right to your inbox!
