Marvel is going to have to do some crazy marketing, and/or find a way to introduce GotG in other MCU movies because they are C-tier superheroes, at best.
I'm going to watch it, but I don't have hopes of the movie performing good at the BO.
I'm sharing this gif all over the interwebs. People need to know there's a movie coming that involves a triggerhappy raccoon.ROCKnROOOOOOOLLLLLLLL!!!!!!

'The Avengers Presents : Guardians Of The Galaxy'
'The Avengers Presents : Guardians Of The Galaxy'
It wont be a success like Iron Man 3 or Avengers, but it will at least make as much revenue as Thor and Captain America did.I concur. This series and these characters aren't particularly popular even among the comic book crowd (I should know, I'm a card-carrying member). The books don't sell particularly well, and they are a lot less relatable than, say, the Avengers.
Disney will market it like crazy, but I don't think it's going to blow up.
These threads are worth it just to see how much Marvel's success makes both of you miserable.![]()
That's not even remotely true or a valid comparison. Iron Man was extremely popular among comic fans. Hell, my wife doesn't read super hero comics and she knew who he was.
I asked her if she had heard of Rocket Raccoon and she looked at me like I was crazy. I showed her a picture of him and she said, "Ummm, that's ridiculous." That wasn't the movie version (which looks pretty sweet) so I'll have to try that test on her next.
One person, but she's definitely in the market place Marvel targets. She loves all the other Marvel films so far, particularly Thor and the Avengers.
Iron Man not only had his own cartoon, but he also guest-starred in other superhero cartoons. He also had plenty of merchandising. He was no Superman but he was far from obscure.
Yeah because I am not a Marvel fan... or maybe I realize that outside of Iron Man their other films have been shit? Now that they finally got some talent behind GoTG and Antman the quality or these movies should improve.

What is more mind blowing is that a comic book involving a talking raccoon using big guns IN SPACE is getting a movie and yet WB/DC can't pull their shit together and make a JL movie.
I'm more hyped for GOTG then rest of Marvel films even Avengers 2
It's a shame that we probably won't get another Green Lantern film for a very long time.What's even more boggling is that their worst animated movies are leagues better than Green Lantern.
I look forward to reading more of your whining in the next MCU thread.![]()
I liked Iron Man 1 & 2 (still need to see part 3), but Captain America was also a great film.
Thor...not so much. My wife loved it, but I wasn't feeling it.

I still don't understand why Disney refuses to release the video and the name of RR's voice actor. Apparently the full clip showed at the Comic Con was an actual trailer and it already looked terrific.
Maybe they are waiting for Thor 2?
I know you are all excited and stuff, but try to remember that Gunn also tweeted this picture some time ago.
This is going to be bananas.
I can't get over how GOOD Rocket Raccoon looks.
They fucking nailed it.
Who's working the visuals?
I really don't like the way Drax looks and it seems like its more of a comedy than a serious movie. Kind of like Galaxy Quest.

They might not have an actor yet? They just hired Vin Diesel for Groot, after all.
And Super. Still can't believe Gunn did that to Ellen Page...
What do they really have to do, its pretty much the prequel to Avengers 2. If they market it as such I think it will do fine.
GoTG was a dumb choice if it was in the 1st round of movies but by the times its released it will just be another in the line of Marvel movies leading to the big get of the next Avengers. And it will benefit as such the same way IM3 was up big over IM1/2 and how I can almost guarantee Cap 2 and Thor 2 will be up over their original releases
And I can't believe I still have to see that movie! Ellen Page is my waifu.
Wrong. GotG has nothing to do with Avengers and will not set up Avengers 2. They have said many times now that Captain America: The Winter Soldier will be the movie that leads in to Avengers: Age of Ultron. Guardians of the Galaxy is technically in the same Universe but on the complete opposite side of the Galaxy. There will be no Avengers, the only connecting element will be Thanos, who appeared at the very end of The Avengers. This movie is intended to start a whole Marvel Cosmic Cinematic Universe, just like Iron Man started the original, so that they do not have to solely rely on Avengers properties.

Gunn (was it Gunn?) said that RR's actor would be announced by the end of July. No news so far.
