Is this a joke? I barely know anything about comics and that looked lame enough to be a parody

Well since we know Thanos, Quicksilver and Wanda are gonna be in one of the next Avengers movies, Guardians of the Galaxy will give a little backgroud to their universe

[CubanSucks]

:lmao Wanda? And I thought Antman sounded too lame to be true.

[TDMVPDPOY]

dont even know who this clown is

[Blake]

Antman is my least favorite hero. Don't care one bit about Henry Pym either.

[Blake]

:lmao Wanda? And I thought Antman sounded too lame to be true.

yes, Wanda is her superhero name.

[Trainwreck2100]

Well since we know Thanos, Quicksilver and Wanda are gonna be in one of the next Avengers movies, Guardians of the Galaxy will give a little backgroud to their universe

Fox is going to force quicksilver into a movie to try and keep him out of the Avengers. And Antman isn't coming out till phase 3

[johnsmith]

:lmao Wanda? And I thought Antman sounded too lame to be true.

Frodo and Gandalf called.

[DisAsTerBot]

Frodo and Gandalf called.

:rollin

[CubanSucks]

Those are names from a different literary universe, not superheroes from this world. Wanda's a normal name, might as well be Sarah or Jennifer, and Antman has got to be the least intimidating name I've ever heard, I literally thought it was for a parody. See, Thanos is alright because it's different.

:lol comparing an entire universe from classic literature to comic books
:lol comparing the characters Tolkien created to heroes of neckbeards

try harder

[Woo Bum-kon]

Gandalf and Frodo are heros of neckbeards, too.

[CubanSucks]

Yeah, but the comic book universe is neckbeard heaven. Tolkien's universe requires a larger attention span.

[ChumpDumper]

Yeah, but the comic book universe is neckbeard heaven. Tolkien's universe requires a larger attention span.The essence of neckbeardism is paying too much attention to such things.

[CubanSucks]

Right, and there's more of them in the comic book universe than anywhere else...probably after anime tbh

[ChumpDumper]

But you kind of indicted Tolkien followers as neckbeards to a worse degree.

[Cane]

Unspecified lead role for Del Toro? I wonder if he's going the CGI furry route like Antonio Banderas....lol :

I guess, but mainly that there's less of them because it requires a larger attention span.

My original point was that the names "Wanda" and "Antman" are retarded. Frodo and Gandalf aren't for the same reason Yoda and Spock aren't, because they're "not of this world"

My point before that was that this looks like comics for hipsters, more obscure and lame as ahit

I think its main target audience is children (thought you would like it, tbh). comics featuring animals are mostly aimed at children imho, like Beast Wars, I kinda grew up watching that shit.

dude I haven't read any of the books. After I saw TLotR trilogy for the first time I spent pretty much every second of my free time online reading all about the universe Tolkien created. I didn't even care about the books anymore, I was more interested in the ridiculously detailed history of everything. But fwiw I love how all these characters (even Frodo) are involved, ESPECIALLY Radagast considering there were only 5 wizards sent to Middle Earth. I know Jackson is a big time Tolkien fan so it's not as if he's gonna go off and do his own thing while leaving Tolkien in his rearview

Only you would be stupid enough to not see the unintentional comedy involved when you bitch about neckbeards with short attention spans that can't handle Tolkien's "universe" only to have outed yourself as a cheesedick who didn't even have the attention span to read the fucking books Tolkiens universe is based in.

So how exactly does Guardians of the Galaxy tie into the current Marvel movies besides giving us some backstory on Thanos?

[lefty]

We don't know yet, but in the comics they have interacted with the Avengers

Plus Thanos is most likely to be the bad guy in Avengers 3

And Reilly's chracter is SHIELD's liaison @ Nova Corps, from what I'e read

[Proxy]

Saw that Nathan Fillion will have some kind of cameo in the credits scene. Nova maybe?

Also, Guardians is tying in with an infinity gem to Avengers iirc

Yes there is a McGuffin that must be an infinity stone

It has to be, since it's likely that the Collector (we saw him at the end of Thor 2) is working for Thanos

BUMP


Going to the 7 pm screening tonight :D




By the way there is 1 midcredit scene and 1 postcredit scene from what I've read

[Fpoonsie]

Greatness. Loved it. Definitely put more of an emphasis on humor than the other Marvel flicks, and succeeded overall.

There was also a Thor-thrashing-Loki-type-scene that had the audience damn near cheering that was spectacular.

9/10.

Uhhhhh, yeah. Yikes.

(Y'think Marvel's really thinking of bringing THAT character back in the middle of this resurgence? That could go...horribly...again.)

[DisAsTerBot]

definitely not bringing that character back. just a cameo.

freaking awesome movie, lived up to the hype!

[Fpoonsie]

Ok. Thank Christ.

For a second, I was worried Marvel had just decided to do some can-do-no-wrong-dick-swingin'.

[lil'mo]

LOL nerds. I'm takin my 4 YEAR OLD to go see this today. How far in advance did y'all buy your prescreening tickets? :lol

Quite a few language bombs in this movie

How'd you like it, T-Dub?

[Trainwreck2100]

As the GOG is not a comic i'm as familiar with I enjoyed it, every character had a chance to be a badass including Rooker's which was surprising to me and unexpected. I also like that even though it had zoe saldana, who i absolutely abhor, they didn't need to make the female character "I am woman hear me roar" annoying like we saw in thor 2 and iron man 3. Expected more badassery one liners from the raccoon though, cause disney has to see the $$$ in that character when it comes to the kids. Lastly if I had to say one bad thing about it, and it's a weak critique. The drax character just felt unnecessary, he wasn't a bad addition but what the fuck did he do exactly.

Yeah, I was completely unfamiliar with the storyline as well, so getting to see each character fleshed out a bit was cool. I liked 'em all, aside form Zoe's...which seems to be the overwhelming sentiment.

I've heard the biggest complaint with Drax (from people knowledgeable of the character) is that they made him out to be some kinda pussy (which, evidently, he's anything but in the comics) that couldn't handle ANY big bads. He kept trying, and kept getting fucked up. I dug his dry sense of humor, though.

Hell, the humor throughout was on point like a muh fucka, and you even found yourself kinda caring about the characters by the end. And as a huge P&R fan, I was curious to see how "Andy" would do in a role like this. Nailed it.

[lil'mo]

Thanks for tha heads up :tu

[lefty]

Man that movie was awesome

IMAX 3D didnt look as great as people made it out to be, except when stuff was coming right at you (I blinked my right eye when something pointy got close)


Of course, going to the movies always makes you feel super smart, because there are always a couple of retarded people who laugh at the most stupid shit

oh and

"no raccoon or tree were hurt during the filming" :lol

[Death In June]

Great movie. As someone who thinks the infinity gauntlet shit is really stupid and hated the Avengers, I really dug everything about this movie.

[benefactor]

Most fun I've had at the movies in a while. Easily the best movie of the year so far.

[da_suns_fan]

I thought it was boring and quite a let down after all the great reviews.

I honestly didnt care how it ended and just wanted it to end. I really didnt like Avengers either.

Joke. Fight. Joke. Fight. Joke. Fight. Joke. Fight.

I guess Im just not a big fan of comic book films. Havent seen one I really enjoyed in a loooooong time.

[Jacob1983]

Were you expecting an Oscar worthy performance from Chris Pratt?

[johnsmith]

Went and saw it last night, completely expected it to suck and was surprised as to how much I liked it. My only complaint was the random swear words that don't help anything at all...pretty small complaint but I had my kid with me and was just annoyed...other than that, movie was awesome I thought.

I could see where it could become sort of like Star Wars for this generation of little kids, the characters are somewhat similar and my 5 year old was running around the house with an iron man mask on all night saying he is "Star Lord"!

Shit is so frustrating...Tom and Jerry or Smurfs come on and I get all fired up and they lose interest in 30 seconds.

[ColinB]

Way better than your average summer popcorn flick. Really enjoyed it. 3D was solid as well.

I can't believe they hired Vin Diesel to basically repeat one line over and over. :lol
