Creature Commandos
James Gunn’s Creature Commandos was off to a rough start. I think it started really slow and the story still seems a little confused. That said it is his first project in his DCU so I have to give him some time to get going. We really are just getting started and I have heard some really amazing things about the end of the show. Gunn is still the only person I trust with the future of DC especially after seeing the Superman trailer. I do love some of the characters he chose to use for Creature Commandos so let’s get to the second half of the season.

The camaraderie of hyper-capitalism vs anti-capitalism in Squid Season 2
Many people have been anxiously awaiting the second season of Squid Game, the most-watched show on Netflix. To win prizes in the first season, players had to compete in several lethal kid-friendly games. The upcoming season, which is also expected to break yet another Netflix record, delves deeper into the limitations and economic background of the surrealistic games. Green light, red light. When the song starts, move forward; when it ends, freeze. It's a fairly easy game. Or is it that moving after the music has stopped carries a death sentence? It was clear from the first season that Squid Game allegorizes the horrors of capitalism through kid-friendly games. Three years later, the second season of arguably the most significant television program of our time advances its adamantly anti-capitalist theme. It accomplishes this by exposing the illusion of "choice" in a system threatening to starve the great majority. In this article, I dive deeper into the dystopian nuances of capitalism and the illusion of choice that stir up scenarios very similar to reality.
