Wait, Did Creature Commandos Already Kill Off Its Best Character?!

Wait, Did Creature Commandos Already Kill Off Its Best Character?!

As a long-time fan of James Gunn’s work, I must say, I’ve grown accustomed to his unexpected twists and turns in storytelling. The latest shocker came in just three episodes of Creature Commandos, where our beloved G.I. Robot seemingly met his end – or did he?

As a dedicated fan of James Gunn’s work, I’ve come to expect the unexpected – and that’s exactly what happened in just three episodes of his latest creation, Creature Commandos. The shocking twist came at the end of episode 3, which premiered on Max this Thursday. The character who had stolen the show since the series debut turned out to be… well, gone! It seems like the runaway favorite took a fatal blow, leaving us all stunned and eagerly awaiting the next episode to find out what happens next.

Absolutely! Let me rephrase that for a smoother read: Indeed, the word “killed” is enclosed in quotation marks because we’re discussing G.I. Robot. For the past three episodes, this mechanical character has been relentlessly battling Nazis, captivating viewers and earning thunderous applause along the way. It may sound odd, but no other character on the show has garnered as much laughter or cheers as G.I. Robot, making the shocking turn of events in Episode 3 all the more unexpected.

In the climax of this episode, I found myself back at the castle, bracing for an assault by Circe. She was stronger than I had anticipated, leaving some of us reeling. The battle took a heavy toll, ultimately claiming the life of our comrade, G.I. Robot. A devastating blast from Circe sent him sprawling, his head detaching and falling silent as Nina cradled it, attempting to communicate with him in those final moments.

If this character had been a more living entity, there would be no doubt that they were deceased. However, since G.I. Robot is a robot, it sparks an intriguing discussion. Despite being non-functional and fragmented by the end of the episode, he no longer shows any signs of activity. By the story’s conclusion, everything about him has ceased to operate.

The fact that the individuals who originally built him have been absent for several decades gives this situation a sense of finality. Is there anyone skilled enough to reassemble him as he once was? And if so, would those at Belle Reeve be willing to invest the necessary time and resources into such a project? Given that these mechanical soldiers are considered disposable by Amanda Waller and the government, it’s unlikely that anyone would give much thought to replacing a robot soldier from WWII.

There’s always a possibility that G.I. Robot might reappear down the line. His mechanical nature allows for this potential return, whether the Commandos find a way to revive him or Waller realizes his continued value. Given his popularity among viewers, it’s reasonable to assume that many are pondering how he could resurface in upcoming episodes.

At the moment, it appears our beloved Nazi hunter is temporarily unavailable for action. Here’s hoping things improve swiftly.
