Guardians of the Galaxy

I thought we had a thread for this? Guess not.

 

Anyway, this looks like it could be a lot of fun. Here's a little teaser:

I was just going to post that.

 

 

Ahole. :P

 

Not a series I'm familiar with though I get the impression they're like a B level Avengers... with a racoon and possibly "edgy".

[Maxximus 353]

No, The West Coast Avengers were the B team Avengers. The Guardians are like the Marvel version of the hooker with a heart of gold.

[Guest Inno]

The Great Lakes Avengers are a movie waiting to happen also... in the meantime, I'm in for this. Rocket Raccoon looks great!

[Guest John Hancock]

Great Lake Avengers deserves a "quirky", Canadian-y teen comedy like Juno or Scott Pilgrim or Super.

[Guest Inno]

Oh jeebus it'd be Michael Cera...

[Maxximus 353]

Michael Cera would be good as Flatman.

[Guest John Hancock]

Owen Wilson as Mr. Immortal, Jeff Goldblum as Flatman, Rebel Wilson as Big Bertha, Kristen Schaal as Squirrel Girl, Chelsea Perretti as Dinah Soar, Godfrey Danchimah as Doorman, Wes Anderson to direct.

[Maxximus 353]

That actually sounds amazing. Perfect casting for Squirrel Girl.

With the way the film looks, it appears they are the Marvel version of the crew of the Serenity

[Maxximus 353]

It's just Serenity. ;)

 

But yeah I kinda thought the same. Star-Lord reminds me a lot of Mal.

[DC 536]

It's just Serenity. ;).

I figured that you could discuss it in the same way as the Enterprise; the ship is called USS Enterprise, but everyone says the Enterprise.

[Maxximus 353]

Serenity isn't just a ship. She's home.

 

Love. You can learn all the math in the 'Verse' date=' but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.[/quote']

Serenity isn't just a ship. She's home.

 

Cracked did a bit on how most joss whedon shows and movies could be linked. It basically went that the initiative from buffy are the corporation from cabin in the woods, and the events of citw led to "the earth that was" in firefly, and the initiative/corp run the academy that experimented on River. This just occured to me but in that case, river and drusilla could have had the same source of precog, and river could be a slayer.

 

They did also waffle something about how maybe the corporation was running the doll houses, but mhe.

Thanos has been confirmed as appearing in the movie (although not to what extent) as Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios, has stated the actor playing him has been cast... but they're not ready to announce it yet.

 

As the movie is released soon, expect the press releases to increase as tit-bits "leak" out. With Thanos, however, I expect him to play a very small role in GotG, but unsurprisingly be bigger than the one he had in Avengers.

 

In other Marvel news, while we're here, Feige also hinted at how Ant Man will feature as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe -:

 

"It was two things – a story Edgar wanted to tell that we’ll see with Michael Douglas and Paul Rudd, and now we’re 11 films in, it’s looking at the characters we’ve already introduced who already have the technology and the brains to do…certain things.

 

We changed, frankly, some of the MCU to accommodate this version of ‘Ant-Man.’ Knowing what we wanted to do with Edgar and with ‘Ant-Man,’ going years and years back, helped to dictate what we did with the roster for ‘Avengers’ the first time. It was a bit of both in terms of his idea for the ‘Ant-Man’ story influencing the birth of the MCU in the early films leading up to ‘Avengers."

 

Screen Rant believe that it hints to Ant Man being a force in the eventual creation of both The Avengers and possibly Ultron, but more likely The Vision.

[Maxximus 353]

Guess who's getting a cameo?

 

Can we just go ahead and start calling him The Watcher now?

[dsrchris 190]

Damn, I didn't even think of Stan Lee being The Watcher in all these movies.

 

Mind blown. :eek

[Maxximus 353]

It all makes sense now, don't it?
