Oh good! I was thinking about going out to the bars tonight but wasn't convinced I felt like it, and now I have a great reason to stay home! Shan - improving my disposition and evening plans one video at a time. 10/10 would recommend

Don’t stop the rock. Keep on powering through them. I’m here for it.

I saw this in my notifications, and I literally did the DiCaprio meme.

The space dog is an homage to the dog that the Soviets sent to space during the space race in the 1960's.

Shanelle, this is one of my favs! We loved the soundtrack so much, we bought it and put it on our I-tunes playlist!!!

Also. Peter Quill in the comics wasn't the same Han Solo type really until the movie came out (I think). He was a very minor character for a long time, then took a big role in a big comic event, but her personality wasn't the same in that event - he was a grizzled soldier in an intergalactic war in the comic event. After the movie came out Marvel did do some updates to the character to make it more like the movie version (they tend to that a lot as the movie versions have been so popular). Also, the key to Marvel is that while they have unique stories (mostly), they can pull that off by staying true to the character's identity - like the change of Nebula from being Thanos granddaughter. Marvel fans honestly don't complain about the changes since they are honest to the source material.

Loving these Marvel reactions!! keep it up!

Audiences First Reaction: When this film was revealed, the Guardians of the Galaxy were unknown, unlike the Avengers, for example, who were known by comic readers. The Guardians comics had a lot more niche following, so even hardcore Marvel comic fans had to do some re-vison to find out who the Guardians were. Sure The Avengers were unknown to the basic person, beyond a few characters like Hulk, Thor, etc. But Guardians were on another level of Niche in the eyes of the mainstream viewer. It's insane how well this movie did and how James Gunn was able to make people fall in love with a talking tree. James Gunn currently is the CEO of DC Studios, with his first project being an Animated series called Creature Commandos, another niche team of misfits who are more monstered themed, written and directed by Gunn as well. And of course his biggest project being the new Superman film, releasing next year. Original 1969 Guardians: Writer Arnold Dake and artist Gene Coat created the group for Marvel Super-Heroes #18 (1969). The group existed in the 31st century, in an alternate future of the mainline Marvel Universe that began to diverge during the 1980s. The team was focused on interstellar warfare and time travel, allowing them to visit the Mainline Marvel timeline and fight alongside the Avengers, showing up in a few present day stories. Its members were Vance Astro (Major Victory), a human astronaut who travelled to the 31st century and gained psychic abilities. Martinex T'Naga: A crystalline being from Pluto. Captain Charlie-27: A soldier from Jupiter with increased strength and durability. And Yondu Udonta: A blue-skinned, red-finned hunter from Centauri-IV with a mystical connection to nature. Modern Guardians: But this is of course is not the Guardians featured in the film. Decades later, we saw the creation of the modern incarnation of the Guardians. They first appeared in Annihilation: Conquest (2007) #6, formed at the end, followed by the Guardians of the Galaxy (vol. 2) #1 in May 2008. The team was set in the Present-day contemporary Marvel Universe, focusing on interstellar adventures and protecting the galaxy from cosmic threats. It was made up of Star-Lord (Peter Quill), Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, and other members. All these characters were already exciting within the comics; for example, Drax first appeared in The Invincible Iron Man #55 (1973), Gamora first appeared in Strange Tales #180 (1975), and Rocket in Marvel Preview #7 (1976), to name a few. So, they picked a few unknown characters from across Marvel comics and made them a team. The team would get their name from a time displaced Vance Astro one of the original Guardians of the alternate future I mentioned above. He informed them about his Guardians of the Galaxy and welcomed them as the Mainline Guardians of the Galaxy. Introduction to Marvel's Cosmic Side: Once this film was released in 2014, it made the team a household name; never in a thousand years would I think that Groot, of all people, would be an iconic Marvel character alongside a talking Raccoon. And it's my personal favourite trilogy within the MCU, followed by Captain America. This film also expanded the universe by introducing the cosmic side of Marvel. Something we've seen hinted at with Thor along with an Alien Invasion in New York, but we never actually got to explore space until this film. I personally feel like if Marvel had the rights to Fantastic Four, Marvel's first family. they would've used them to introduce the cosmic side of Marvel instead of the Guardians of the Galaxy. However, 20th Century Fox owned the rights, which is a shame; thankfully, Marvel now owns the rights and is releasing an F4 movie next year so that's super exciting.

This film hits in all the right ways. James Gunn has great vision. One of my favorite modern directors, I'm really looking forward to what he does with DC.

My Ex Boyfriend

I saw this in the movie theatre with friends. I had no idea what I was walking into with this movie. I came out loving it. It still ranks as the third best MCU movie for me. Had an older friend who reads comic coming out confused because was used to a different comic version on Guardians, it is funny that you pointed this out as being a possible issue. I see you struggle to let the story breathe and reveal things to you. Always demanding answers. Never change. Seriously that was not a critique, just an observation. Once Thanos appears we will want to hear a full breakdown of your feelings about this villain.

More importantly than pointing out that Peter is human, why does no one point out throughout the entire galaxies, why is the only Earth language everyone speaks is English?

MotoDork

You know what I’ve been thinking about? Avengers Age of Ultron.

Rick Moreno

I will always maintain that the first minutes of this movie, from start to the line "I forgot you were here" are possibly the best opening of any movie in recent history. You quickly find out exactly what this movie will be like. Such a fun movie, and with characters that nobody really knew much about before it came out except for big comic fans.
