As a seasoned cinephile who has witnessed the rise and fall of numerous TV shows, I must say that James Gunn‘s decision to release DC Studios animated series Creature Commandos one episode at a time is a masterstroke. Having spent countless hours binge-watching various shows only to be left unsatisfied when they quickly fade from popularity, I appreciate the longevity this model provides.
The DC Studios animated series titled “Creature Commandos” unveils episodes sequentially, and this approach, as explained by James Gunn, holds a lot of logical reasoning behind it. This series marks the initial installment in Gunn’s expanding DC Universe under DC Studios, with the first two out of seven episodes being launched on December 2nd, followed by new episodes every week. According to Gunn himself, this release schedule is designed to keep “Creature Commandos” relevant in the public eye for a prolonged duration, as opposed to the binge-watching style popularized by platforms like Netflix.
Gunn explained on Twitter/X, responding to a fan wondering about the delayed release of Creature Commandos, that “The series has gained popularity from one episode to the next due to the positive conversations it sparked and the passionate audience it’s built. If we had released all episodes at once, we might not have known how it would be received. I usually prefer a weekly release for our shows. For those who prefer binge-watching, they can wait until the end of the season.
The reasoning behind James Gunn’s decision to release Creature Commandos in a weekly format instead of all at once, as is common with Netflix, has proven valid given the show’s favorable response and strong performance on Max. This approach directly challenges the pros and cons of the Netflix binge-watching strategy.
Streaming services provide their viewers with the opportunity to immerse themselves in an entire season of a fresh streaming series over a weekend, making for a satisfying binge-watching experience. Similarly, by dumping full seasons at once, these platforms tap into the cultural mood of their audience during that period and beyond, much like the rollout of a big-screen blockbuster movie. This approach has undeniably benefited Netflix, but it does present its own set of challenges.
One key point is that the binge-watching model tends to limit how long a new season of streaming shows stays popular and captures viewer attention for an extended period. Unlike when they first premiere, these shows don’t attract as much attention just one month later. However, by releasing episodes gradually over several weeks, these shows can prolong their time in the limelight and potentially gain a substantial number of new viewers from the start to the finale of their run.
In essence, the weekly release schedule adopted by “Creature Commandos” has proven extremely beneficial. It appears that James Gunn’s decision to maintain this approach and his firm commitment to it for future DCU shows is undoubtedly the optimal strategy for these productions. Consequently, fans of DC can anticipate upcoming series such as “Waller” and “Lanterns” to follow a similar model that has proven so successful with “Creature Commandos”.
Creature Commandos releases new episodes every Thursday on Max.
