Guardian's of the Galaxy EXTENDED trailer, god damn this shyt looks good
- Thread starter Sensitive Blake Griffin
- Start date
And I fukk with Gunn, "Slither" and the "Dawn of the Dead" remake heavy, but dude is not remotely anywhere near the same level as Whedon. From any angle. "Angel" alone shyts on Gunn's entire career.
Having said that, this looks great, and I plan on checking it out.

I didn't say in comic book movies heros win. But in most GREAT adaptations of superhero films, there are stakes that are so serious, you even have doubt if the hero will succeed. ALSO, we have a lot of superhero films in which the "good guys" still suffer a loss. That is why movies like the 1st two Raimi Spider-man's, and X2 were so great. It is why The Dark Knight is considered one of the greatest superhero films ever made, it wasn't TEXTBOOK. That's the problem with these Disney/Marvel films. They're HELLA entertaining, but redundant with their by-the-numbers style of storytelling. It just maybe the reason why Days of Future Past is more critically acclaimed than Winter Soldier. Winter Soldier maybe one of the BEST action sequenced films of this year without doubt, but the feel of any kind of threat or concern was virtually non-existent. Whereas, with Days of Future Past, they successfully put a lot of emotional depth into the consequences of what could happen.
Man not for one second did i think they would fail their mission in Days of Future Past. Not for a moment.
Iron Man 1 is seen as a great comic adaptation, did you think Iron Man wasnt gonna pull it out? Batman Begins was touted as the best shyt ever, and nobody thought Batman was gonna lose. What loss did he suffer?
Nah, I don't like redunancy. I don't want to sit through ANY film, regardless of genre and say to myself, "I've seen this before". What MADE Galaxy of the Guardians appear intriguing is that it doesn't LOOk anything similar to the rest of the MCU. But based on all the trailers that been out, you basically know how this story will go which is essentially the same by-the-numbers way they tell their stories with those Disney/Marvel films.

Iron Man was a great ORIGIN film which was also the ORIGIN toward the MCU. But what about the films AFTERWARDS going off the same routine? At SOME POINT, you got to be asking, can you switch it up a bit? The main reason WINTER SOLDIER got its praise is because they toned down the special effects, they toned down the excessive humor, and they were practical in it's action. Yet STILL that film was cliche in it's storytelling.
The reason why the TDK trilogy is so great is because BEGINS is NOTHING LIKE TDK which is NOTHING LIKE TDKR.
Dude you are basing your stance on speculation. Like I get it if the trailers don't do it for you, that's cool but say THAT instead of it looks like a redundant movie because this look as fresh and unique of ANYTHING Marvel has done thus far.
Marvel is a comic company so of course they do character driven stories. Just based on that and your thoughts on their movies, you don't strike me as a fan of character driven stories. Tell me what are some of the movies you've like over the past 5 years?
I disagree
But more importantly, I like TDK trilogy but I felt there were good movies but not good Batman movies. There was very little of any of those movies that resonated of Bruce Wayne/Batman's character. I almost feel you could have plugged in James Bond, Matt Murdock or just about any street level hero into Batman's role and produced a movie of the same quality. I'm starting to think, you are more into plot driven movies rather than character driven movies.
That's ok, btw but it would make a lot of sense why you are not into the Marvel movies as much
Man, I am HOPING I am wrong. I am HOPING there's some next level situation or consequence in which could leave everything in the upcoming Avengers film into serious notice. But I am HIGHLY DOUBTFUL anything like that is going to happen, based on how the REST of phase two been panning out. My strong feeling is this would be another fast food filler film to quench people's thirst until Avenger's 2 comes out next year. Nothing more.
I could easily make the argument that the only thing that makes TDKR different from the typical comic movie is an extremely charismatic villain.
Well AFAIK, the whole point of GotG outside of introducing a new focus point for Marvel Movie franchises is that it will introduce a lot of the cosmic characters and villians the the Avengers will be dealing with, particularly Thanos.
I mean, when I think of comics and Marvel movies, I think about the long game. Part of why the Star Wars trilogy is so beloved is that each movie built on the previous to make one long plot and character driven story. If George Lucas can pull that off, I'd think Marvel could easily do it better since they are masters of the long game.
Phase 2 with the Marvel movies, I believe is setting up the eventual "Empire Strikes Back" that Avengers 2 will end up being so I anticipate a huge amount of suspense and foreshadowing in a lot of these next wave movies.

Disney/Marvel is doing the best job of making movies that are the most similar to comic books as far as the story telling devices and intertwined universe. Looking forward to this to see how it leads to the next Avengers or whatever movie. I never collected this book but I like how this will raise the stakes to entire galaxies or the universe being in peril in the Marvel universe.
yeah...homey trying to shyt on whedon was way outta line... firefly alone shyts all over most folks career
How can Marvel's CU be "cookie cutter"? Tell me what's cookie cutter about creating a shared universe between 5 different movie franchises and freaking TV show? Because the heroes always win? It's comic books, dude.
This movie will be great, I'm sure of it.
