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....

    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for Dark Scrolls, Empulse, and more

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for Dark Scrolls, Empulse, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final update of June for Nvidia's cloud gaming service GeForce NOW is now available, and it is touting support for six more games. The company is also drawing subscriber attention towards the summer sales kicking off across stores, so they can stock up on more cloud-supported titles. Of course, the Steam Summer Sale is the biggest promotion, which is kicking off later today. "Supported Steam games can be streamed across devices with GeForce NOW, making it easy to buy a game once, keep progress synced and pick up where the gameplay left off on PCs, Macs, handheld devices, phones, TVs and more," says the company. "In other words, the Steam Summer Sale brings the deals; GeForce NOW adds the flexibility." Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active as well. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Dark Scrolls (New release on Steam, available June 22) SAND: Raiders of Sophie (New release on Steam, available June 22) Deer & Boy (New release on Steam, available June 23) EMPULSE (New release on Steam, available June 24) The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (Steam) FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves (Steam) With the June expansions coming to an end, Nvidia should be announcing its July GeForce NOW plans next week. Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month.

    • A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent

      By sagum · Posted

      Just the price of doing business. The scamble to pull as much from the web as possible is happening, and it's happening before a case like this changes how or what is legal do to with AI in terms of data harvesting. But even then as we've seen with the likes of Google who ignore cookie requests and just accept the fact they'll get fined, it's built into their business price model now. AI is here, its not going away. Their reward if any from the court case would be best suited to trying to incorprate AI or licence their end points as authentic human verified content. The problem is, as we've seen these same news papers are using AI themselves.
