#james gunn described this show as gotg without the sentimentality and that claim is certainly not baseless

Spoilers, but I think in a lot of ways Creature Commandos is intentionally unsatisfying. Eric will never die, and the Bride will never be free of him. Nina will never have a life of normalcy nor of peace as she attempted her whole life to have. Dr Phosphorus will be never fill the whole in his heart from the death of his wife and child. G.I. Robot will never reunite with the boys of easy company, nor will he ever be allowed his deserved rest. Weasel will never be able to save those children, and, ultimately, not the woman he saw as equivalent to them either. A crucial difference between The Suicide Squad and the Commandos is that working in the SS awards them with time off their sentence, but the reward of the Commandos’ efforts (and deaths) is a more comfortable prison cell and a promise they will be continued to be used as soldiers, as bodies, until their usefulness expires upon their deaths.
