DC Murderverse posted:Was anyone else not particularly charmed by Baby Groot? It was very clear to me that the week after the first Guardians came out and everyone flipped a poo poo over him in the credits (which was a cute/fun little joke) that Disney went to Gunn and said "Groot's a baby now" and Gunn just rolled with it. I think a couple of the jokes about his stupidity were fun but it really does feel like a very focus group decision. I was initially more harsh on the film because of the intro put me off and I became a jaded rear end in a top hat. The intro of 1 really told you what kind of movie you were getting, the opening is very emotional, then transistions to a sci fi epic, then bam, "Come and Get Your Love" starts playing, and it's hilarious. The intro to 2 felt so bland and then it translations to baby groot dancing while all the action is ignored, it's like the plot had to stop to sell me a toy commericial, so I was just sort of cynical. Given time to reflect I did come to really liking it. I like character stories, especially when all the marvel movies can focus on being BIG and WORLD ENDING, some personal time with characters I like was really nice. The secondary characters and Kurt Russel loving killed it as well. I still don't think it hit quite the heights of the first one but if the third can combine the strength of act 1 and 2 of gotg1 with act 3 of gotg 2 itd be a damned fine movie.

turn left hillary!! noo posted:I liked both of them; they're really dumb but in a funny way. The latter especially is like everybody being "a-holes," it fits in. Yeah but "implied" only works when you're bleeping out what could conceivably a dozen or so different words and letting your mind fill in the gap. The middle finger is...pretty explicit, it's not really telling you anything your mind didn't know by censoring it.

Mantis42 posted:Uh, unless I'm missing something, the film version of Mantis is neither Asian nor is her actress? She's a spacebug lady Her actress is half-Asian. In the movie yes, her character is an alien but in the original comics her character is actually half-Vietnamese, which is how this discussions got started.
