James Gunn Explains Why the ‘Creature Commandos’ Episode About Weasel Is ‘the Saddest Thing I’ve Ever Written’
"Creature Commandos" creator James Gunn and actor Sean Gunn discuss Weasel's "incredibly sad" backstory in Episode 4 of the DC Studios animated series.
It wasn’t until Gunn brought Weasel back for the animated DC series “Creature Commandos” that he finally got to sort out the details of how this gentle beast was unjustly branded a child killer. As the titular squad works through their mission involving Princess Ilana Rostovic (Maria Bakalova), each episode of the series, all of them written by Gunn, examines one of their backstories. They all have a blast playing together, but when an old man passes by, he misinterprets Weasel’s behavior as threatening — for no real reason other than he assumes a giant furry animal would be innately menacing — so he races back to his cabin to call 911 and grab his shotgun.
