"Review: 'Guardians' is irreverent but not enough"
This seems like a jab to the RT consensus?

To me, its crazy that it already has a sequel announced and dated before this releases. Cartoon I understand but sequel. Wow......
This is pretty blatantly false. The film is pretty lean and the vast majority of the jokes are written into the quieter scenes.
And honestly if I'm gonna get on my fanboy shit, the midcredits scene alone is worth a fresh review.
Goddammit
Yes!! This week is going to be glorious with all your impressions coming in! I'm in such a good faith Marvel will deliver for everyone.
I'm also going to hate you all for seeing the after credits scene
Hmm... the rest of the Review seems extremely positive:
"Yet "Guardians of the Galaxy," a 3-D space opera about a ragtag crew of mercenaries, is Marvel's most irreverent film yet, and has a welcome, slightly self-mocking tone that dares to suggest intergalactic battles over orbs might actually be a tad silly."
That sounds like exactly what I want. Guess the comedy just didn't work for that reviewer.

They've read my Tweets and have responded accordingly by green lighting the sequel.

tv cartoon, movie sequel, disney infinity game, they are really pushing Guardians on all front.
BronsonLee

They really are. It feels like it all came out of nowhere too, oddly enough. Like everything just started ramping up on Friday
Could be because someone is putting their career on the line with this.
Callibretto

er, who? Kevin Feige? I don't think he has anything to do with the disney infinity and cartoon.
Who knows. Someone higher ups maybe? Otherwise I can't imagine where the sudden burst of confidence is coming from.

The early numbers must be tracking very high. I'm sure they have access to metrics we don't know about
BronsonLee

It's obviously a corporate initiative from higher up since it's touching every division of Disney/Marvel, really. If I had to guess, execs saw early cuts of the movie and realized they may have something big on their hands. Gunn brought the heat here it seems.
It's all coming in really late to the game, so I bet they realized they could have something monstrous about 3-4 months ago. Kind of the reverse of John Carter/Lone Ranger, where those didn't really get much marketing in the week or so leading up since they realized they were boned.
Guardians OW keeps going up, up, up in terms of tracking. This marketing push has to be helping.

Yeah I mean I was shocked when they announced Thor 3 writers and Cap 3 directors right after those movies came out. To go ahead and announce the GOTG sequel before the movie is even out is pretty damn confident - but they have the capacity to do the research and they probably feel really good about the movie internally.
Not to mention GOTG2 is probably an integral part of their Phase 3 plans and it was going to come regardless of whether the first movie was just a minor success or a resounding one.

.........What after-credit scene? There isn't one
There is one, it just wasn't added during the early premieres if i'm correct
but man, a solo female and black panther film? OUT OF THE QUESTION
Well, good thing I booked IMAX tickets for this Thursday a month ago, to rewatch it in IMAX after the early screening!
There will be this Thursday..........What after-credit scene? There isn't one

I just watched that old Bradley Cooper interview about Rocket Raccoon's accent again, and I'm wondering now just how close we came to a Cockney Rocket. Don't get me wrong, his final voice sounds great, but I've gotta wonder.
What would that even sound like coming out of Cooper.

No idea. There was a funny scene in the preview screening, though I don't know if it counts as a credits scene, since it was before the credits started.
It was before-credits. Loved it.
but guys, film isn't coming out in the US for 2 months.
Are you sure we'll get that special after-credit scene this Thursday?
According to James Gunn (Writer & Director) on his Facebook page There will be a little something special at the very end of the movie. Very special. But thats all I can say about it. Im not sure were even going to have it at the premiere so its not spoiled online for everyone seeing the film opening night..

The film is coming out on Thursday in the US. Or Friday.

They're not going to do different prints for Thursday and Friday/onward, so I'd assume so.
Also, something's up in Denmark here. They didn't hide the Avengers one. They didn't hide the Cap 2 one. Why hide this one?
...Could it be announcing a movie?
I Did.
I'm so sorry everyone.
As you should be, since it is entirely your fault.
I bet it's Age of Ultron tease.

Credits scene possibilities (I don't care what Gunn or Feige have said):
- (Richard Rider) Nova
- Age of Ultron trailer/teaser scene
- Captain Marvel
- Doctor Strange
- Black Panther
- (Richard Rider) Nova
- Age of Ultron trailer/teaser scene
- Captain Marvel
- Doctor Strange
- Black Panther
Nova, with the reveal of the actor playing Rider!

I don't see it being AoU, that doesn't really need anything.
Or Dr. Strange/Black Panther, tbh.
I could totally see it being Nova or Captain Marvel. Those would make people flip the fuck out, especially if they cast someone in complete secret somehow. It'd also kind of explain the middling Comic-Con

Nah the guardians watch at a distance as a guy in red and gold armor flies through a wormhole and lobs a nuke at the Chitauri mothership.
"James Gunn Confirms AVENGERS: AOU SDCC Footage is NOT the GOTG After Credits Scene"
So it's either Deadpool or Ant Man, since that's coming out next.
Now imagine Deadpool vs Rocket. Priceless.

I'm having a total mind-blank. Has every MCU movie except IM3 teased the next movie? It wouldn't be unprecedented, but maybe GOTG doesn't have a AOU teaser. I sure hope it does though
in nyc?!!?? how!!!

!!!! Movie Ending Spoiler !!!!
How
would Richard Rider fit when there's no Nova force at all? I can see it being related to The Collector and the explosion. Cosmo talking? Adam Warlock hatching?
