They seem to be implying that the Kree have a Skrull-like rivalry with Xandar.

If not that then surely another character, and I'm looking forward to seeing who it will be because I love me some Mads. At the rate Marvel is going he'll have to be in one of their movies because they make so many that everybody ends up in them eventually. Everybody.

I'm seriously glad that didn't manifest, and I say that as someone who liked Thor 2. He would have been so wasted on that film. Destro was just the right man for that job.

That doesn't contradict what I said as far as I can tell. Also, there's plenty of analogues in real history to governments going "hey, that guy? we don't control him." If the Kree were really smart they would have agreed to stand against Ronan with the Novas, and betrayed the Corps as soon as he attacked.

CelticPredator posted:I like the Heroes over Villains thing MCU is doing. It was my biggest problem with the Nolan Batman movies, and why I prefered Begins over TDK and TDKR. Batman was the most interesting character in Begins. The villains were small change. But in TDK? Batman could not have been in it and the movie would've been just as good. No one cared about Batman in that movie.

Howard the Duck was perfectly Howard the Duck. There were some weird tonal shifts and the last act dragged forever, but it's got some great stuff in it. Like Howard immediately going to the unemployment office and having to work in a brothel, threatening a motorcycle punk with space rabies, constantly having to avoid idiot redneck hunters, sitting across the table from an evil intergalactic overlord telling him his plan of conquest but completely ignoring him because he's super pissed off the restaurant is selling eggs, Lea Thompson being a stone cold fox I mean holy poo poo if you thought she was hot in BttF or All the Right Moves this is next level. It is a bad movie, but it's got a lot of fun stuff in it, and overall is pretty faithful to the character.

Howard the Duck would have been a better movie if Lucas made it when he originally wanted to, before Star Wars took off like a rocket.

I actually have plans to see it a 3rd time with friends who just through word of mouth and who normally hate super hero movies now want to go and see it because it's a "comedy". Which well it is, but I think that's indicative of a good movie when people who normally wouldn't watch something like that go to see it. I can see it being a billion, but I wonder if the 80s jokes will translate to foreign markets.

For one thing, American culture from the 80s (and 70s) is pretty popular internationally. Also, Marvel have been shown to rewrite certain things to fit different markets - i.e. Cap's to-do list from Winter Soldier. I could totally see them changing one or two more obscure pop culture jokes around, but honestly stuff like the whole Kevin Bacon Footloose thing will probably translate pretty well overseas.

I like that. Plus, anyone Cosmo likes is A-okay in my book.

The dance-off between Ronan and Starlord was great, I just loved his lines during that. "Gamora take over, subtle I'll take it back." "I'm distracting you, turd burgler." Those had me in stitches. I will see this movie again. That said, man there was a lot of swearing in this movie.

I thought that bit was also awesome because we saw his wife and child almost die during the invasion before Rocket saved their lives. They didn't mean anything to us when we first saw them. That scene with John C. Reilly showed the real payoff of the Guardians getting over their own selfishness -- especially Rocket's apathy for others -- because the random bystanders turned out to be people who "mattered" and they protected that Nova from potentially being broken like Drax and Ronan. Kind of like how Batman does what he does to save people from having to deal with loss like he did.

It was also just a nice ending, I mean it got a great epilogue. I like Marvel Movies, but seriously they sometimes end on some serious downers. Also, I think the fact the film "wrapped" up was intentional, it leaves enough for a sequel if they needed one, but if it like bombed or something crazy it's a complete film. My wish list for the next film would probably be Adam Warlock and the Infinity Watch Nova Quasar Skrulls goddamn it One scene of showing Eros in alien jail Supreme Intelligence Inhumans or at least a Inhuman or just poo poo something Sucks that Marvel lost so much poo poo with not having Fantastic Four. Oh I forgot The loving Watcher ( but I think he belongs to the Fantastic Four)

Comparing this movie to the Avengers, and it is interesting... Okay, in GOTG, the team start off INCREDIBLY flawed, spend a good portion of the movie at each others throats and making terrible, selfish decisions before teaming up when it becomes clear that things have gotten out of hand. And while it is heavy handed with the whole POWER OF FRIENDSHIP stuff, up to and including how the main conflict is resolved, it feels satisfying and natural. Disclaimer, I really liked the Avengers. That said, they are supposed heroes who act really bitchy to each other (With the notable exception of the Stark-Banner bromance) for no real reason, and were basically tricked into ultimately teaming up. I still like the movie but GOTG really shows how cynical it kinda is. Unlucky7 fucked around with this message at 09:51 on Aug 2, 2014 |
