Just cause Hank hit Janet in the 616 comics once doesn't mean that has to be a constant across every single universe. They can just this once make him just kind of a dick.

Pretty much ever married period in the Marvel universe has hit their wife at least once and often done other lovely things. The only reason it is the Hank Pym Story is because Hank Pym The Human Garbage Fire is basically the only interesting thing anyone can think to do with him.

I was thinking about the Guardians set photos that showed a Simon Williams film fest, and thought maybe the last act of the movie takes place on earth. Whoever the villain is, is persued by the guardians to earth, and they get trapped there. Avengers 3 opens with the Guardians on earth and Tony and his team confronting them while they wonder around NYC. Reed Richards hit Sue way more than Hank ever did to Jan, but no one remembers that.

There are still two or three infinity gems that we haven't seen and need to get to earth by infinity war, right? Or have I already lost track?

We've seen the Cosmic Cube/Tesseract, the thing from Thor 2, and the Gem from GotG. I may be forgetting something but I think that's it.

The Eye of Agamotto is likely to be one. Then the other can be in Guardians 2 or something.

(What I assume will be) Strange's Eye of Agamotto is glowing green, one of the missing gem colors. If the film gems have individual identities, I'm betting the Eye is the soul gem. Unless Vision's headrock is the soul, not mind, gem—then I'm guessing Strange has the reality gem. We haven't seen any good candidate for the time gem, I think, so I'm holding out hope for GotG2 being a time-travel adventure.

Given that Guardians of the Galaxy was entirely about accepting and letting go of the past, I feel like having the sequel be about being able to travel to the past might be either retreading or invalidating the message of the first movie.

I would not be surprised if the entirety of IW part 1 is protecting the final infinity stone from falling into Thanos' grasp, especially if that one ends up being the Time Gem.

According to Wikipedia (so, y'know...), the Tesseract is the Space Gem, the Aether is the Reality Gem, the Orb is the Power Gem, and Vision's bindi is the Mind Gem. That leaves the Time and Soul gems. Given the supernatural nature of Doctor Strange, my money would be on the Eye of Agamotto being the Soul Gem.

They way Feige talked about Strange's powers and how it factors into probabilities makes me think that gem is the Time one.

He's looking for a smaller, more personal story. Considering Nebula and Yondu are joining up with the team, and they're going to meet Star-Lord's father, it's probably going to be focused on them coming together as a family. Which is a good progression from a collection of misfits as they were in the first film.

She's a telepathic green alien Asian bug lady who knows all Kung Fu ever, with a sweet costume. That should be all the justification you need. I mean personally I like her strangely chipper and relaxed personality, I like that she's probably the most adjusted and definitely the nicest of the guardians, I like how being a telepath gives Cosmo somebody to relate to (and the Mantis/Cosmo telepathy conversations always ruled), and I like that she's basically a force of serenity around which all the crazy assholes that her teammates rely on. She's basically the straight man of the guardians and she's able to be the straight man without being boring or a stick-up-the-rear end goody two shoes (Scott Summers), and she feels like one of the few Asian superheroes I've read that come across as genuinely cool. As an Asian person I've always really liked Mantis.

She was a good Quasar, and her and Moondragon's relationship was pretty great, and I really liked her as Martyr but yeah she's basically completely forgotten. I actually thought about it more outside of hyperbole/race bias since she's one of the few Asian superheroes in existence, but trying to determine a "best" Guardian is incredibly difficult considering the lineup of the team constantly gains and loses dudes outside the core five from the movie. So like, I would consider Mantis the best Guardian as in the best character who is mostly defined by their association with the Guardians, but she's definitely not the best character to have carried the title, considering Tony Stark and Carol Danvers and Ben Grimm and Flash Thompson have been or are technically Guardians. And then there's characters like Angela or Bug who are great characters that never got enough focus in the book while on the team to be seriously considered for it, or characters like Cosmo or Richard Ryder who were never technically Guardians but were so closely associated with them they mine as well be, and if so do you count them?

It's really unclear what any of the gems even are. I woulda thought loki's mind control staff would have the mind gem in it, but no, it appears to be time or reality.

Loki's mind staff did have the mind gem in it. It's currently embedded in Vision's forehead. Guardians Orb thingy -> Power Gem Aether from Thor 2 -> Reality Tesseract -> Space Loki's Staff/Vision's head -> Mind. Adam Warlock is always tied to the Soul stone, so if he actually shows up in Guardians 2 he probably has it.(From what I remember all Gunn has said is that Thanos won't really be in Guardians 2, not that any Gems won't show up) Time is probably in Strange as previously stated.

I know the breakdown in the post above is the official word but it always made more sense to me to have Aether be Power, Orb be Soul (since it kills living things while leaving nonliving things intact), and the Eye be Reality. Nothing about the Aether really screamed "Reality Gem" to me while on the other hand you'd think the Eye of Agamotto would be the prime candidate for it.

The orb destroyed the Collector's gallery in an impossible-to-miss catastrophic purple explosion. There is nothing in the movie that suggests it only kills living things.

The holes in reality were caused by the Convergence of the Nine Realms, Malekith was just taking advantage of that to use the Aether to destroy everything. I don't think he ever regrew any limbs.
