[reddmyst]

So excited! Will definitely see it day one. I'm interested in what Nathan Fillion will play.

 

[Kud Dukan]

I literally know nothing about GotG apart from what has been shown in trailers, and I'm super hyped. This looks super fun!

 

[Rhaknar]

those nova corps guards look kinda decent actually, the helms look good. Gimme Nova marvel

 

[neorej]

This is so amazing I want to watch it twice simultaneously.

 

[J10]

Here comes all the armchair executives making box office predictions.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Guys, remember when Nathan Fillion said to look in the credits for him...what if he meant a credits scene?

 

[Silky]

Where the log traps at doe

 

[Ithil]

They're not selling it as "Look, it's the GOTG!", they're selling it as "Look at this, it's called GOTG". They know it's a lesser known property so they're just selling the property itself and not the brand name (other than the Marvel Studios brand name which is major).

 

[Father_Brain]

I think Cap 1 was way more riskier than Iron Man

So was Thor, for that matter. There was a fair amount of dissent within Marvel (and later Disney) about whether to introduce Cap and Thor in Avengers, or whether Cap should only partially be set in WWII.

 

[Diprosalic]

It will easily pass 400 million. That's the low end of what it will make.

First Cap 370, Thor 450, Hulk 250

I'm not sure about "easily pass" 400.

 

[Peru]

If this movie doesn't make a lot of money I'll officially lose faith in humanity.

Yeah because a company really struggling to get the attention and success they deserve is Marvel Studios..

Less famous brand or not, most people in the world know Marvel characters from movies and not comic books anyway.

At least this looks a little more inspired than the dull chaos and lowest common denominator one liners of The Avengers. Whatever it takes to derail that train I'm ok with.

Marvel's brand is much stronger post-Avengers than it was before.

 

[Tobor]

If the Internet existed in 1977:

Nobody knows who this Han Solo and Luke Skywalker are. Nobody is going to see this Star Wars movie. Bomba incoming.

 

[RobotNinjaHornets]

no

it'll be fun though

Your input is appreciated.

Now let me turn into a ball of pure excitement energy.

Thanks.

 

[Kouichi]

Yup.

Rocket Raccoon is becoming an A-tier superhero.

I'm so happy.

Brings a tear to my eye.

Imagine if there's just a random bar scene and he's in the background in full Mal Reynolds gear. FIREFLY CONFIRMED FOR MCU

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Knowhere intrigues me

Who or what can kill a "space god"?

 

[Rootbeer]

So in love with every tiny detail they have shown on this film... latest trailer is great... there is no way this won't please, right? #teamfresh

 

[Slayven]

First Cap 370, Thor 450, Hulk 250

Marvel didn't have the weight ti does now.

New York changed everything.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Batista

 

[StylesTrip]

Yes, please. I am ready for this movie, now!

"Hooked on a Feeling" on repeat until this comes out.

 

[Kai Dracon]

I think they'll end up being just fine if they're contrasted against Centurions who have sleeker, more imposing suits. (Since they've got to operate in vacuum and stuff.)

I liked the way Quill's face mask materializes and wonder if that effect is setting up similar uniform technology that will be displayed.

Now I'll be disappointed if this cameo doesn't happen.

I'm excited to see Lee Pace chew scenery.

I did a month of Marvel Unlimited on my ipad and pretty much devoured all the GotG content and became an instant fan!

Celestials as a rule are pretty bulletproof. So it was either another celestial or someone higher up the food chain or something like the Cancerverse. Either way it was huge.

 

[Rastafarian42]

Eh, these trailers haven't really got me hyped I'll keep my expectations lows and hope to be surprised.

 

[sn00zer]

Hard to chew on green screen

I'm not worried about the finances or attention of Marvel Studios, I want more people to enjoy the great characters that are the GotG.

Keep your snarky bullshit to yourself, I don't want to hear it, especially when it doesn't even apply to what I was saying.

This is the age of MAHVEL, man. There's nothing more horrifying great than a MAHVEL movie.

This movie will make bank, i can fucking guarantee it.

 

[SargerusBR]

Spoiler

Infinity Gauntlet

 

[marrec]

Marvel better not fuck this up.

That trailer has me very excited.

I think this will do well as long as they advertise it correctly.

 

[Father_Brain]

First Cap 370, Thor 450, Hulk 250

I'm not sure about "easily pass" 400.

I'd say Thor 1 gross should be the floor given the strength of the Marvel Studios brand, but the film is risky enough that I'd hesitate to call that a foregone conclusion.

 

[J10]

Funny thing is they haven't elaborated on the severed head yet in the books. I think I read that Abnett and Lanning already had it worked out, but since they're not working together anymore I don't think we'll ever find out.

 

[Diprosalic]

Marvel's brand is much stronger post-Avengers than it was before.

Sure but this isn't directly or obviously connected to any of the marvel movies and it's pretty whacky. I'm not seeing it "easily" flying past $400 million.

 

[RoyalFool]

Looks great, not sure I like rocket racoons voice - for some reason I imagined him with a silly British accent. The rest of the casting looks pretty spot on.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Darn!

I was hoping comic-book GAF would chime in

Thanks

 

[RS4-]

Fuuuuuuuuck.

So good

 

[Dalek]

I'm wondering if we'll see a scene like from the comics when they have to re-grow Groot and water him.

 

[The007JiM]

beautiful...unethical...

 

[Deleted member 13876]

Nobody really knew about Thor or Iron Man or Cap either, well at least internationally.

Kinda my point in terms of brand recognition. It's not really that much more unknown than Thor was at the point of Thor 1. The second one was post-Avengers and thus safer. Creatively I do think this movie can take more risks though.

 

[Cloud Strife]

WOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

 

[Wiktor]

To this day no Marvel movie has ever blown me away, but I love absolutely everything I'm seeing from Guardians of the Galaxy. It just looks so ridiculously fun.

 

[Mudcrab]

Knowhere, Nova Corps, Ronan the Accuser, Nebula, and the GotG in a Hollywood movie and to top it off it looks like it'll be damn good one. I still can't believe it.

The only thing missing is Nathan Fillion as Captain Universe.

 

[Corpsepyre]

I'm getting a very Scorpion King/Prince of Persia/John Carter feel from this. Got the same from the very first trailer. :/ Don't know why everyone is going apeshit over this.

 

[jmood88]

So was Thor, for that matter. There was a fair amount of dissent within Marvel (and later Disney) about whether to introduce Cap and Thor in Avengers, or whether Cap should only partially be set in WWII.

If Iron Man had failed, there would be no Marvel Studios and possibly no Marvel. They had a character that barely anyone knew about, they had never made a movie before, and they needed to borrow a bunch of money to get it off the ground. Thor was risky but they had already put out two huge movies by then and were established.

 

[ChosenPredator]

this is like marvels starwars
