He was probably like "It's time we had a chat with your folks, son."

I love Pokken!
It would suit more now since Falcon is the new Cap.

Hopefully Gamora is in the next movie.
That is superior in every way.
Hopefully they don't give all of Gamora's jokes to Drax again in the next movie.
While this is an important campaign, aren't some of these posters out-of-character for some? Like Gamora, isn't she supposed to be a galactic assassin? I don't know much about the character outside of the movie, so correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems strange for her to care about some kid getting bullied.
Eh, it'a a bit too Mass Effect-esque.
And Gamora already wore something similar in the GotG Prelude when she was younger.

Better than the last time Marvel went anti-bully
Gamora is a much more complex, brutal, yet together character in the comics than she appears to be in the movie. It's kind of one of the movie's big failings. I know they want all the focus on Quill when it comes to building up characters but movie Gamora is almost incompetent at times.
As long as they avoid slings, I'm fine with it.

Steve Rogers about to go Brooklyn on that kid
Fuck em up Cap!!

Yeah. I'm guessing that Gamora is going to be more fleshed out in the sequel, because this is the only complaint that I (and many of my friends) had about it. And in my case, it's a minor complaint, but yes. She wasn't the strongest link in the film.
"We're just like Kevin Bacon!
" was great, though.Oldschoolgamer
The physical form of blasphemy
Those bullies have balls to still be laughing at the kid when the Hulk is comforting him.
It definitely is.
It definitely is.

I don't know if its geography or age difference or what, but a lot of the kids in the nerd goup in my High School were more than capable. Seriously no one was harder on them than other kids in their own group (this is of course, speaking as someone who usually hung around that group).

Drax and Gamora were such jobbers in the movie. Gamora the deadliest assassin in the world...who got jobbed by everyone. Got saved more times than all of a church congregation on a sunday.

Even after a successful summer movie, Peter Quill continues to get kicked. Marvel, plz.
That's because the art isn't "off" on that one. I think the Rocket Raccoon and Star Lord one's would both work with better artists.
Hulk simply doesn't work since he's "RAGE RAGE RAGE" mode so probably not the best... "ambassador" for anti-bullying. And Captain America is kinda doing "bullying" himself while protecting a child.

I think the Cap one is unappealing, but the rest of them look good. The Gamora one is my favorite out of the bunch.
Amen.

All of them are pretty cool. The cap one is definitely a bit out of place compared to the others.
Well why the hell did his parents let him play for the Nerd Wimps? Were they the only team in the district?

The Gamora one is by far the best.

Yea I have to agree. They showed she could fight...but then she lost literally every fucking fight she was in outside of the scrubs in prison. Hardly becoming of the "child" of Thanos.
I guess that's why they chose Hulk, but he seems extremely out of places to do "anti-bully"ing to me.
She beat nebula, groot, and rocket and was sucker punched by Quill's element gun. She didn't actually lose any fights.

Fuck all these nerds, where's Frank Castle
Off bullying people.
Let's put it this way.
There's no way Gamora would have let 4 jobber prisoners take her out of her cell. No way. Nope. She would have slaughtered them with her elbow and laughed while doing it.

I don't think he lets people stick around long enough to bully them
Those kids insults are cutting right into his soul. Dudes legit shook.

Cap's probably like "You're disgracing those tags, son."

So, bully the bullies?
Why would those kids be pointing and laughing in the direction of the Hulk?
Didn't Spidey spend an entire comic talking to a little boy about having been molested as a kid? Spidey's whole life is about dealing with this stuff, I guess.

Cover: Bullying is bad!
Inside: Let's solve all our problems with physical violence!

That is kind of the point of the Hulk. Knowing that bullying the bullies is bad and doing what you can to mitigate it while being yourself. Keeping that insane rage monster inside you in check but using it when necessary.
