Watched it on Saturday, wow oh wow. Now that is a comic book movie!
 
My only problem was

the lack of backstory for the major players in the movie. It would have been nice to get a little detail on The Nova Corps, The Kree, Ronan the Accuser, Thanos, etc.

My only problem was [snipped because sometimes quotes and spoilers have issues]

 

Don't get me wrong I loved it however, i have a huge problem with

the fact that Peters entire back story is wrong. At least they kind of mention his father a few times but how his mom dies and all that is stupid. Being an orphan was a huge part of his back story

I saw the movie over the weekend, and I really enjoyed it. I would have preferred less cheesy "I'm glad you're my friend" moments between the guardians, but that's it. Really well done.

 

I think Rocket was the best character. So many hilarious lines.

But Peter WAS an orphan in the movie. The big pieces of his character's backstory are still there. His mother died. He doesn't know who his father is, but he is alluded to be rather important. So what else did you want?

Originally he was supposed be orphaned for a while and then join NASA and all that stuff. and then be chosen to be sent out into space. rather than just being abducted by Yondu (who was one of the original Guardians) It just feels like they left out a lot of how he got there. but it was still a VERY good movie.

Ah, well I can understand your criticisms then. Though I still like the movie version. It made Quill seem more like a "space orphan" rather than an "Earth orphan"...if that makes any sense. And it got us right into the "galaxy" part of the story instead of spending a lot of time on a complicated back-story on Earth.

I don't see it but yeah, that comic she has even been part of Guardians of the Galaxy in the comic books now that Marvel owns the character. In the Marvel Universe, she's the long lost sister of Thor and Loki.

 

That's not Red Sonja- that is Angela, the Angel.  She used to be in Spawn over at Image Comics, but her creator went to Marvel, and brought her along.

No one with a clue ever thought it would make $100m.

 

I'm sure that's the case, the only thing to look at now is how front loaded this is or if it can keep going for long.

Yep, you are right! I was confused with both characters now that I read it back. I'm not caught up yet with the GotG books either so that's another reason. Thanks for correcting me though! :)

You would have to read the current "Thor" comics for more info about Angela.Seems there is now a 10th realm that was sealed off from the 9 Realms- the Angels' Realm.  Angela was "stolen" as an infant from Odin and Frigga by the Queen of the Angels during a fight, or something like that.

Yup, read that in the synopsis for the Original Sin issue about that ordeal. Pretty interesting tbh! I'll be starting my Thor run once the new Thor is in it because I think that if I start now, I'll be lost :p

So, finally saw it yesterday. Had a blast! Absolutely terrific movie, let alone comic book based movie. The cast was SPOT on. I saw some people didn't think Bradley Cooper fit as Rocket, but I think he did a great job. Overall, best one yet imo! Also the special effects were beyond stunning. I mean, wow.

 

I'm still just shocked they plainly had a Thanos scene in there, just hey here he is guys! The bigg(est) bad we got (currently)! Enjoy! And he had more than one line! He also looked alot better than in the end credits scene of the Avengers, obviously. And, Howard the Duck rules!

Is this Beta Ray Bill?

There are a ton of easter eggs in Guardians of the Galaxy.  James Gunn even said at one point that the film would feature the most Marvel Universe characters of any Marvel Studio film to this point.  One of those characters that been debated on since the film came out, is if we see Beta Ray Bill in one of the glass cases in the Collector?s Museum....

      Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 Good grief, Apple hasn't even released a first folding phone and the Apple faithful is already obsessing over the sequel? Seriously people, go out and touch grass... because this level of obsession is borderline stalkery/neurotic.

      Brave Browser 1.91.178 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package.
