Really? Considering most people say the latter, it makes more sense that he would say it wrong anyway... Bad phrasing doesn't automatically means bad writing, as long as it fits the context.
Nope, you're not, but a lot of folks recognize him from his more recent role in The Walking Dead
I always thought Star-Lord & Space Dandy had many similarities, this just cements those thoughts.
I have to see this.

Maybe it was "Like I could care less."
It's best to ignore stuff like that. It's a movie after all.
That's bad writing if it is indeed the case. I don't know how 'I could care less' has permeated America to such a degree, but it makes no sense. A writer should know the difference.
I've never heard it said in a manner other than 'I couldn't care less.' Then again, I'm in Britain and not the US.

a lot of my threads involve me fucking up somehow. Perhaps I'm a moron?
Saw it last night, absolutely loved it. That opening though, a little rough for such a lighthearted movie.
Anyway, Drax surprised the hell out of me and may be my favourite character in the whole film. That line about having amazing reflexes and catching stuff that goes over his head killed me, I was still chuckling about it today.

baby Groot was adorable. The dancing at the end was very cute. Him fucking up that whole tunnel full of bad guys with one giant arm was pretty badass as well.

I think the look on his face right after that got the biggest reaction in the whole movie.

When Rocket
says that line to Drax about not caring, and Groot's hand shot to his mouth like OMG
A lot of the things we say in the US doesn't make sense. When people say things like "could care less", "all intensive purposes", and "I'm literary going to explode" it bugs the crap out of me too. While it might make me cringe, I still don't think it's necessarily bad writing if a characters says these, as long as it was intentionally written that way. Now if that line was unintentional, then yes, that can be considered bad writing.
I think it's because Cap doesn't trust Tony (at first) considering he's the one who designed the new helicarrier.
Either way, I get the feeling we'll get the answer in AOU.

Tony's too busy making Avengers Tower/porking Pepper/being a drunk to go help a real American hero

I would say "I could care less" has permeated the States, and that the writer was simply showing that through Quill. Basically if I was writing about character A, if writing narrative/exposition I would have it correctly as "I couldn't care less..." but since character A "don't speak no gud like you and me" I would have his talking line be "I could care less" to reflect that.
Here's the main Japanese dub cast.
>Junichi Suwabe - Peter Quill/Star-Lord (Space Dandy)
>Manami Numakura - Gamora (Hibiki from Idolm@ster)
>Tomokazu Sugita - Rocket (Kyon from Haruhi)
>Vin Diesel - Groot
>Tomokazu Seki - Drax the Destroyer (I AM GUNDAM Setsuna)
>Mamoru Miyano - Ronan the Accuser (Larry from Persona 4)
>Ami Koshimizu - Nebula
>Junichi Suwabe - Peter Quill/Star-Lord (Space Dandy)
>Manami Numakura - Gamora (Hibiki from Idolm@ster)
>Tomokazu Sugita - Rocket (Kyon from Haruhi)
>Vin Diesel - Groot
>Tomokazu Seki - Drax the Destroyer (I AM GUNDAM Setsuna)
>Mamoru Miyano - Ronan the Accuser (Larry from Persona 4)
>Ami Koshimizu - Nebula

Mamoru Miyano is Setsuna, Tomokazu Seki is Domon
now in my mind Drax says to Ronan "Take this! My love, my anger and all of my sorrow!" and that made the battle a gazillion times better.

Saw it last night with a friend.
Best Marvel movie ever. One of the best movies I've seen in a long time, period!
Damn, this movie was so good.
Only issue was the projection was out of focus. I noticed it right away during the trailers (20 damn minutes of trailers, btw) and was hoping they would correct it for the movie, but nope, they didn't. I didn't feel like complaining so I just bared it.
Go.... See.... This.... Movie!

Some awkwardness due to the necessarily hurried character intros (thought the movie as a whole could use ten or twenty extra minutes around those scenes), but it was fun. Will watch the sequel. Also feeling strange urge to watch Winter Soldier now. You win this time, Marvel.

Wait...So they are leaving Groot totally un-dubbed? That's pretty awesome.
Vin Diesel did Groot's lines in a ton of other languages, Japanese is one of them.

I wonder if it will be Watashi wa Groot desu or just Groot desu. The latter is a bit more ambiguous but would probably work better with the few words schtick. Neither one would match up with the lips too well, though.

saw it today, really enjoyed it, was its own film and of course it was fun and had me laughing. Rocket and Star Lord steal the show, but i enjoyed everyone's part. The films spends a huge chunk of time just building relationships between the team and building up the team as a family like unit. To be honest the villains and their schemes are secondary, an interesting move. Can't wait for the blu-ray / DVD

Saw it last night. It was nothing mindblowing, but it was a good bit of fun. Don't get the hype over Drax though. Rocket lives up to the hype, however.

There wasn't one unlikable character on the team. Drax was fun, had some good one-liners and it helped that my friend I went to see it with is a Bautista fan.
Also going to up my opinion about this movie and say this might be one of my favorite movies of all time.
This song is totally gonna be in the sequel.

Agreed. I just remember seeing people saying Drax outshined the rest of the crew, which I didn't see at all. Anyway, it was a good time. Easily one of the better Marvel films.

Overall a great movie. Definitely a lot of fun. If I had to compare it to the Avengers, I'd say that I liked the first 3/4ths of this movie more than I liked the first 3/4ths of Avengers, but Avengers had the more ridiculous and amazing ending sequence.
That being said, the comparison is dumb because they were both really fun movies with different goals in mind. I feel like, despite the adventure, GotG was trying to be a comedy first and foremost, which it succeeded at.
It wasn't without flaws, but I found them to be pretty minor and insignificant against all the highlights of the film. A lot of it was just the standard pitfalls of a big team building movie like Avengers: the transition from "strangers" to "partners" happens way too fast, and since they have to cover the character arcs of 5 people instead of one, it just gets rushed and everyone is condensed into one or two easily identifiable traits. It works in the grand scheme of things, but it causes a slight bit of shallowness in the plot. They did a good enough job with the time they had to work in, though.
Wasn't a fan of the original score though. It wasn't bad enough to be distracting, but it just wasn't very memorable.
Concerning the ending, I personally would have made one change:

I would have somehow explained that Peter was only half terran before the ending. It's tough because I don't know where this would have fit in the movie without being a huge fucking spoiler for the ending, but I feel like him being able to magically hold the stone and then explaining it afterwards is a bit of a cop-out. Also, saving the day by holding hands with people that met less than two days ago was super cornball, but I get what they were going for. It works, but it's just slightly off. Not a dealbreaker at all for the movie.

Yeah....I saw a video of all of them and Gamora stood out the most for me.
I loved all of the characters (how can you not?), but I thought Drax was the weakest of the bunch. I guess a lot of people just had low expectations for Dave? I knew he'd do well.
