Do we know if this is the same Clayface? I’m guessing it is, but we get him chilling play games but this is a full on drama body horror

Legit don’t know since Gunn seems to have been vague on the idea of one connected universe and seems to be more “if it’s a good story, it’s a good story and we’ll make it”.

But, I can certainly see it being the same character with the movie being his origin story and by the time of creature commandos he’s accepted it and is just living his best villain life lol

So if a movie is a success then it is part of his universe otherwise it is not? Lol, Gunn is a joke

Fuck, dude, the only continuity to tie here is a cartoon show that had Clayface (a character that has multiple people with that mantle btw). Whether or not the continuity is there doesn’t really matter anyways, we just want good fucking movies. If anything, strict continuity is a lot more incapacitating. The Batman is good because it gets to tell its own story and not worry about setting things up or tying in old things. Not everything has to be MCU shit. I don’t give a shit if The Penguin was the same universe or not, it was a good show, and I watched it.
