This looks like another skip
Only Marvel projects worth a damn this year will be the Nick Fury show and Ant man
the other two movies were mid as fukk.
The Guardians looked washed as fukk in Love & Thunder under Waititi, I think that's why I'm feeling so-so right now. Fortunately, this is Gunn's baby. His films within the MCU for the most part have had the most heart IMO and I just can't see him not delivering on their send-off (and his too).GoTG movies feels like the worst Marvel movies but they're the most profitable and best reviewed

This has Adam Warlock but you are right compared to Nova, Blue Marvel etc. He doesn't move the needle for general audiences.On one hand, GotG is more popular and profitable than, say, the Fantastic Four ever were. Otoh, comic F4's greatest contribution was introducing interesting new villains (Galactus, Doom) and allies (Surfer, Black Panther, Namor) that made you interested in F4's stories even if the core team was boring as shyt.
Whereas the MCU GotG didn't really prioritize that, despite the plethora of interesting cosmic characters (Nova, Blue Marvel, Genis-Vell, Annihilus, etc) available to be spring-boarded. The business decision seems to be just double-down on how well-liked the core team is and that'll be enough. I suppose they've earned that, but i can see why ppl feel underwhelmed by the marketed plot and stakes.
