I think we're supposed to get a longer TV spot tonight?

Also didn't see it posted here but Fandango is debuting the character posters on Monday.

Yes, James Gunn confirmed that the 30 second ad plus a new 60 second spot would both be aired tonight during the NBA game.

Welp. I think I missed it. :(

Just looked at Gunn's post and he said it would drop between 6-8:30pm.

I wonder if that synopsis is all that happens. Seems like he's omitting the Nova HQ getting attacked (seems like that in the trailer). Hope he's just covering the first 2 acts.

I haven't read it, but I saw someone else saying it only really spoils the first act of the movie and reason they go to Knowhere (which I can sort of guess just from the trailer and interviews already).

So, I don't read comic books, I'm not sold on this at all (sure i'd see it, it looks fun) but i mean it just seems like a one off adventure?

or does it tie into the thor / iron man movies universe? or do we not know yet?

I guess, comic book wise, these characters, do they interact with the big popular names? or are they just some little side thingy?

They have many adventures, not just one. It technically takes place in the same universe as iron man/Thor/etc but they rarely ever intersect as the GotG have more important things to worry about than what is happening on Earth. That said, crossovers have happened in the past in the comics and it's possible they will happen in the movies down the line. The purple guy seen at the end of The Avengers movie is in this one too.

The Guardians are Cosmic Marvel. Cosmic Marvel means problems on a way bigger scale than what the Avengers deal with. They don't interact with Earth problems very much and cross-overs have been rare (at least until recently).

That said, this movie gives us the full introduction of a mutual enemy between the GOTG and the Avengers - Thanos. Thanos is certainly expected to make an appearance on earth at some point to pay back the Avengers for what they did in the first movie, and it's expected that the Guardians may follow him to Earth to try and stop him. They'll have their adventures in deep space on their own but there's a chance they'll show up in Avengers 3 if that's when Thanos will strike.

I actually started reading Annihilation and Annihilation: Conquest storylines just to get ready for this movie. The comics are really, really good, I''ve read Annihilation and and Annihilation:Conquest up to the first Wraith. Only couple of artists whose work I haven't cared for, but storytelling is good.

Also, GOTG will feature an Infinity Stone, which ties into the Tesseract from Cap 1 and Avengers and the Aether from Thor 2, which should lead up to...

Do Hot Toys' prices scale with complexity and size? Will I have to pay $200+ for Rocket?

Lee Pace on Ronan. Also a little info from James Gunn.

During a recent interview with Yahoo Movies, actor Lee Pace gushed more about his role as the main villain in Marvel and James Gunn's forthcoming Guardians of the Galaxy adaptation. "I’ve never played a character like Ronan before," admitted Pace. "I like a bombastic villain, and that’s what I had a good time doing. It was the most fun playing this character… I was stronger than I’ve ever been, doing all this training, and the character is just a beast. He’s just so evil. At first when I started working on him, I was thinking, 'We’ve seen so many great performances of villains by very talented actors in superhero movies. I’ve got to find something relatable about this guy.' But the more I played him, the more fun I had with just being evil. Evil, evil, evil. He’s an alien – there’s no kind of human rules. There’s nothing to relate to, actually. It just became, like, the more dark I could conceive of him, the more I understood him."

Lee Pace was then, jokingly, asked if Ronan the Accuser's eyebrows are one of his most evil traits. "You don’t even see my eyebrows!" the actor replied. "It’s covered up with that black ceremonial paint. He’s like Osama bin Laden – he’s like a religious fanatic. It’s so cool. When in my life did I think I’d be playing a character like this? When I got the call about this, I was like, 'What? OK, OK… I’m in.' I’d auditioned for Star-Lord, and then Chris obviously got the part… and then they called my agent and said, 'We have another part for him!' So I quickly put that on tape and Ronan worked out." In the latest issue of Total Film magazine, Lee Pace offers some other interesting details about Ronan: "He's the Accuser of the Kree; he passes judgement. He's got a code to live by. This is a spiritual mission."

Meanwhile, Guardians director James Gunn has teased the film's post-credits scene(s). "There will be a little something special at the very end of the movie... very special," he said in a Facebook post. "But that's all I can say about it. I'm not sure we're even going to have it at the premiere so it's not spoiled online for everyone seeing the film opening night."

Very encouraging! I like hearing "religious fanatic" and "code to live by." That allays a lot of my fears about his characterization.
