Power levels aren't everything. You can't reduce every villain in the story in that way.

Zemo won.

Zemo is a completely different kind of threat than a cosmic-level villain like Thanos or Galactus (which is also why he worked so well). He wasn't threatening the Earth or the universe, he was threatening the Avengers personally.

You're right, power levels aren't everything, and it's the villains who subvert those kinds of expectations that work best. But, unless Marvel took a radically different approach to Galactus than anyone expects, he would be more akin to another Thanos than another Zemo, and I don't know if that really makes for a more interesting bad guy or a more believable struggle.

Of course he'd be akin to another Thanos. They're both World destroyers.

Why on Xandar is that a bad thing?

According to Kevin Feige, GOTG 1 and 2 take place in 2014, around the same time as Captain America The Winter Solder, while Infinity War will take place 4 years afterwards, in 2018.

Pretty interesting that Feige and Gunn decided to leave a large gap of time untold when it comes to the Guardians.

It takes a few light years to travel to earth, now that time gap is filled.

Not even Hot Toys can make this color scheme look good. If they were going to go so silver heavy, they should've gone all the way. Or at the very least, changed the design from the Mk. 46.

We need to give Alfie Allen a role in a MCU flick.
Which character do we use for him?

Maximus the Mad. Oh wait, shit, never mind, that's the other guy.

I think he looks like that dude who pees on the Punisher's family's remains, so he'd do alright there. Or maybe Morbius.

I've become so numb to the new marvel cape flick is the worst one shit. Thor 2, iron man 2, and Ultron are the ultimate WOAT MCU low bars for me. Even the incredible hulk was kinda trash personifed.

Age of Ultron is good, not nearly as great as the first
Ant-Man is also pretty good, not great.
Ditto Doctor Strange
Civil War, Winter Soldier, The Avengers are the best of them and legit classics.

There we go.


edit - I'll be in the cinema this time tomorrow watching the first GOTG before Volume 2.

!! NO SPOILERS HERE !!

I just came out of the cinema, and I gotta say Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 was a worse movie than the first one, but still a great entry in the MCU. A lot is happening in this movie, so much that the plot feels cluttered at times, and it only really comes into its pace during the second act. It kind of have a hard time getting going, but it's more emotional and more family-oriented than its predecessor, although one of the main plots takes up too much time with the little payoff it has, and there's way too much Baby Groot that I actually grown tired of him. There were some forced jokes that fell flat, particularly sex-jokes and stuff like that. The villain was on par with other MCU villains, maybe done a little better here, and the movie really sets up so many possibilities for the Cosmic Universe going forward. The soundtrack is just as good as Vol. 1, although none of them are as catchy as "Hooked on a feeling..." to me. I loved the relationship between Gamora and Nebula.

And to whoever said the trailers has only shown 15 minutes of the starts of the movie is not true. The trailers definitely showed parts from act 3.

Congratulations Spidey, you played yourself.

I'm sure it might depend on my mood, so if I gave Iron Man 3 a rewatch I might like it better this time. I can always shuffle around here and there.

Also, I want to kill Baby Groot already.

Yeah but you have Thor over Winter Soldier. I can't take your list seriously.

 

[Pachimari]

So what's the prevailing consensus right now in the GotG2 spoiler thread?

Hmm, it's a little mixed at the moment. It does look like it is scewing toward being a little worse than the original, having pacing problems, not as much variation, and some forced comedy, but it being more emotional and having more character development than the first one, and also having better action.

Yeah but you have Thor over Winter Soldier. I can't take your list seriously.

The Winter Soldier was a bore. Still is. Thor was a guilty pleasure of mine.

I mean come on, all of our lists will be different. I didn't post it for others to agree with me. And if you like another movie more than I do then so be it, it's all fine and dandy.

Oddly enough, this statement has convinced me more than any other review/impression that I'll end up liking Vol. 2 more than the first movie.

On that note, I finally got the ones I was missing (Iron Man 1 and 2, Thor) this week, so now I have the whole Marvel Cinematic Universe collection! ...well, until the rest come out on Blu-ray. Hah.
