Creature Commandos Subtly Takes a Stand in One of the Biggest Geopolitical Conflicts Happening Right Now
In the spirit of James Gunn’s practice of incorporating popular tunes in his comic book transformations, Creature Commandos established its Eastern Europe expedition mood with a mix of punk and gypsy music. However, attentive viewers might discern that the initial two episodes of Creature Commandos include four songs from the same band – an unprecedented occurrence in Gunn’s filmmaking career. These tracks are creations by Gogol Bordello, a Ukrainian group who also make a brief animated appearance during The Bride’s (voiced by Indira Varma) flashbacks. This artistic decision holds significant importance given Gogol Bordello’s vocal opposition to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, making their presence more than just a matter of style.
