People saying it going be a hard sell to mainstream public are correct. Unlike Iron Man and the rest GOTG is wayyyy more fantasy and outlandish then rest of Marvel films which are heavily grounded. Thor is closest got to fantasy but it not crazy as GOTG from what we seen so far.

GOTG doing well could open the floodgate for Dr. Strange and the rest more out there series to be made into film

As far as I know, only Reed, Sue, Ben, Johnny, Doom, and Galactus are tied up with Fox. The Silver Surfer rights just reverted back to Marvel recently.

No silver surfer is with fox still. The FF license agreement includes a few more characters than those you listed as well, but not many more. One is super skrull though.

I think you're over estimating their popularity. Iron man at least was beyond obscure. No one knew about him. Even people that followed comics barley knew about him. Saying they have been iconic for decades is ludicrous and simply not true. Iron man has always been obscure up until the 2008 movie lol.

Now thor is a little bit different since he's in nordic mythology. But the comic book interpretation of him? Very obscure before the movies.

This is hyperbole in the opposite direction. Iron Man has had a solo title published pretty much continuously since the 60s. A character who has warranted 50 years of solo stories is not obscure. You are acting like he's Hellcat or the Whizzer. I agree that the general audience was not nearly as familiar with him as they were with Batman, Superman or Spider-man, but not many characters are. Iron Man was about as well known as Green Lantern or the Flash. Execution and RDJ made the difference between what Iron Man earned in 2008 and what Green Lantern earned in 2011.
 
They should prominently feature the shared continuity aspects of the Marvel Cinematic Universe at some point in the movie. That'll bring in the masses. Have Tony Stark be involved with the program that sends Quill into space. Or have the Guardians meet Thor somewhere in space.
 
This movie looks hilariously awesome!! Fuck you DC/WB for never having the balls for something like this.
Can anyone recommend a good GOTG story/graphic novel to get familiar with the characters? Something of a primer for the movie?
 
Kids will love it because it has a talking raccoon and a talking tree.

Adults will love it because of the crazy space hi-jinks.

Comics fans will love it because it is the Guardians of the Fucking Galaxy!

Believe!!

The Iron Man 3 after credit scene should been the rumored Stark heading into space due to a signal about the GOTG instead we got a pointless recap scene.

no one in europe (comic fans aside) knew anything about the two and the films have been huge here. and hell: if a movie about a speaking teddybear (ted) can make millions and be a huge hit, marketing a submachine gun firing racoon should be possible.

Hell, when I first heard a film named Thor was being made I was hoping for a film about the Norse god, not some goofy cartoon superhero.
 
Man i'm seriously hyped for this after seeing those trailers. It looks like they've nailed Rocket Raccoon. I've just finished reading the 2008 guardians of the galaxy comic reboot and it was fantastic. I'd seriously recommend it.

Reilly is playing the S.H.E.I.L.D. agent in charge of Galactic Affairs, or something.

As great as Rocket Raccoon is, marketing for this film I think will benefit tremendously by focusing on the "band of misfits" cast diversity and sheer lunacy of the spectacles. Showing strong, likeable characters with interesting, snappy banter between then has a better chance of luring in new fans as they quickly grow attached to particular groups of characters and want to see how they develop.

It's not an impossible thing to market a blockbuster/superhero movie without having the groundwork done by pop culture. If it were, we'd have no original premises ever. They just need to remember marketing it as something familiar, like The Avenges, isn't going to work. It's gotta be marketed as a fun new adventure, not a culmination of familiar faces.

EDIT: I also think it's impossible to judge how this will be received until Marvel actually bother pushing it in the mass market streams.

Watching the CC footage the feeling I got was that they were going for a rag tag team who probably are insane. I think it's a better direction then what everyone has been saying about it being a "space opera like Star Wars"
 
I have saved the trailer using the method i described above. If the links dry up and anyone needs it, shoot me a PM and i'll be happy to upload, as long as you direct me to a host that doesn't require payment or registration.
 
Glad one of the links for the trailer worked, Looks really good. Have no idea what it's about though haha guess I should read some of their stuff.

I just want to see the damn trailer, oh and you guys should check out the recent GotG run, its pretty good.

Check the previous page of this topic. Also the current run can only be considered good if you never read the 2008 series and thus dont understand what it was. The new runs' characters are basically only the same in name and appearance.

holy fuck that looks so awesome
 
Is reading digital comics on an iphone as horrible as it sounds like it would be? I want to read this stuff and marvel unlimited seems like the way to do it but an iphone is all I have.

Okay I am sold. This looks like it will be the best Marvel movie.
Click to expand...

best marvel studios movies:

Ant Man
Guardians of the Galaxy
wildcard number three: avengers 2

it is decided. i was worried they wouldn't be able to pull off the look of a raccoon firing guns but that trailer sold me, has a fun a-team in space vibe.
 
Btw, based on audience accounts the leak is not the full trailer that was shown. Will be interesting if the rest leaks.
 
I'd also like to say that Batista as Drax was some inspired casting. I'm not sure about his acting chops*, but he's certainly a heck of a lot better than having a green and red mass of CGI throwing the viewer into Uncanny Valley territory.

*apparently Gunn was very impressed by him during the casting.
 
impressed by batista's acting? i'll believe it when i see it.

but he did seem like a really nice guy and very grateful for the role at the comic con panel. so maybe his rapport with the crew and gunn got him the part (and the size obviously)

i want andy serkis for rocket raccoon

Drax is a big, scary bald guy. What other chops does Bautista need?

I really liked his part at the panel. He seemed like a pretty humble guy, maybe a bit starstruck, who was really glad just for getting the part. Like "dude, I'm just a WWE meathead pursuing my childhood dream and I still don't know if this is all real".

There's an introduction of the team before the footage starts, and some dialogue with Starlord.

Is this from D23? I heard that trailer was kind of edited down a bit either way.

Are you insinuating that wrestlers pretend to be big dumb assholes for the camera? If that's true, then how do we know the whole match isn't staged too?
 
wtf @ those gifs.

I suddenly have the urge to get ALL the tpb's listed in that pic. I knew this series only by name but that looks awesome.
 
People PEOPLE.

Has it sunk in yet?

We're getting a Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

A GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY MOVIE.

In theaters.

With a big budget

That looks badass

That will lead into Ultron next year.
