Welcome to Marvel Cosmic!! 8)
Although Thor was sort of an introduction to that level of play; in fact one of the end-credit scenes for Thor 2 (just released on BR/DVD today) was set as a crossover with this movie, and actually directed by its director!

I love the movies but, in truth, the Marvel multiverse confuses the Hel out of me.
Just remember, Stagger, Marvel is easier to follow than DC. And no Aquaman.
I feel your pain insofar as the comics are concerned. I've tried a couple of times to get back into it over the last 10 or so years, and I'm totally lost.
This last time I went to the comic store, I took my daughter, and the guy recommended a DC graphic novel for her, "The New 52," which he explained was a reboot. Then I thought, Et Tu, DC? I always thought Marvel was the impossible-to-follow universe, but after that experience and what you said, MD, I'm seeing it's not exclusive to one universe.
Though honestly I was never much of a DC fan. I did enjoy the hell out of the JLA comics from '90 or so though - good humor all around.

I forget the name of the Green Lantern who was in the JLA around that time, but he was always good for a laugh. Guy Gardner! That's it! And Batman would always keep him down.
Yes! Guy was a TOTAL jerk, but oh man he was hilarious. Poor Martian Manhunter, trying to deal with that as well as the other psychos.
I remember thinking how cool it was at the time that they had a Soviet superhero (albeit a powered-suit one) in the group too. I can't recall his name though.
Dammit, now I want to re-read that series. :)
I'm totally out of touch with all the newer heroes as well as villians. And never heard of the Guardians until now but I like what I see even if the women are green and it has Metal-Head in it. The 60's and 70's were my comic book era. Sgt. Rock, Enemy Ace, The Haunted Tank, and practically all of the Marvel Heroes. I hear Stan Lee's health is not good. Anybody hear anything new on this?
Well, Stan's 91 and he had a pacemaker put in back in 2012, so....

I supposed this isn't the time to point out that the Guardians of the Galaxy debuted in '69, eh? ;)
Really Brant. 1969? Damn, maybe I better look at my old comics from then and see if I got one or two. Might be worth something.
I can remember trying to chase down some old GofG issues based on seeing Yondu in the The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe and thinking he looked pretty badass. That was '83 or so when the first edition of The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe was released. It was a bitch trying to find those when I was living in Germany at the time and contact with mail-order places in the US was kinda tough.
^ LOL...is that the book that details Marvel characters? I still think I have a copy of one of those somewhere. It might be at my mom's house...she never threw any of my books away after I moved out oh so long ago...
it started as a 12-issue series
then there was a supplement
then an updated series
then a book
then a series of books
and then they realized it was pretty hopeless because they were creating new characters faster than they could release the books.
the one that was a ton of fun was the GI Joe Order of Battle comics that did the same thing for the Joes. Issue #2 included Rocky Balboa as a member of the GI Joe team - and whether it was Larry Hama being too much of a fan or a licensing deal that fell through, they had to run a retraction in the next issue...

I remember ALL of those Joes. I even read the comic. I didn't collect them but my best friend at the time did. It was great fun to read but had animated series levels of stupidity at times, like seeing their frogman (can't recall his codename) running around Washington, DC in full SCUBA gear, including flippers, as they battled COBRA.
Never had those specialist figures. In fact I was quite limited growing up. Oh how I wanted the USS Flagg, though.

Borderline. Depends on where you fall with these things. It's PG-13, mainly for the level of violence and the crude language/gestures. The physical violence is more intense and less cartoon-ish than what you saw in Avengers. There is no nudity and the sexual innuendo is tame.
As I was watching, I kept thinking about whether I would let my kids watch it. They're 9 & 5 and I'm comfortable letting them watch many of the recent Marvel films. Mostly I see them as live-action cartoons. However, I'm leaning against letting them watch Guardians until they're a little older. If it were me, I'd probably be okay with an 11-yr old watching it.
.
ok thanks
he's seen Avengers and most of the Transformers and X-Men movies, so he's probably OK w/ comic-book level violence
He'll love it. So will you. Best of this year's 'event' movies.
Agree with Mirth. Very good film but not great. Typical super hero story, very predictable and the language included one, "Whore" and one "Bitch" but nothing worse than that. The movie shines in the usual Marvel presentation being very well done, funny, sad at times and the characters are immediately likable. Lots of action and great rock & roll, and no super hero crossovers from the other movies. I'd give it a solid 7 out of 10. O0
Saw GotG with Dad this afternoon; language is a bit on the hard side for PG-13, but not as bad as, say, E.T. or Back to the Future or many Spielberg films :D (Those were different times. Come to think of it, the film often aims for a late 80s vibe.)
Quote from: bayonetbrant on July 30, 2014, 12:32:18 PMIssue #2 included Rocky Balboa as a member of the GI Joe team
Going back to this for a minute: there's a current XBoxOne advertisement (running over at the Escapist this past week for example, so I got to hear it A LOT) which sounds exactly like a Sly impersonator acting as Rocky training someone with dialogue which sounds like it comes from that Joe Handbook card! I've never seen Rocky 5 or 6, but I kind of doubt it comes from either of those movies because the speaker seems to be addressing multiple people and I'm pretty sure Rocky is training only one person in each film... ???
Just came back from watching this. I hate sounding like a blurb, but "rollicking good fun" is the phrase that most immediately comes to mind. The 70's soundtrack did get a bit wearing on me now & then, but that's about the worst critique I can come up with off the top of my head.
Definitely a solid film. I wouldn't say it was great, but it was certainly good. Worth watching.

He should be just fine, especially if you're with. As others have said, there's a bit of language, and some violence beyond what you normally see in a superhero flick, but nothing too over-the-top.
I just saw it today and quite enjoyed it. A genuinely funny superhero movie.
Marvel can pull in almost $100 million for the opening weekend of a movie featuring characters most people have never heard of. DC claims that they can't conceive of a way to make a profitable Wonder Woman movie. :idiot2:
Rather than doing something useful like working on Game 2 of my AAR that I won't shut up talking about, I decided to spend tonight working up a post analyzing the mystery of Peter Quill's new-for-the-movie-series father, based on an interview comment from James Gunn that seemed super-strange.
But it turned out such a long post, I set up its own thread -- thus giving Grogheads the benefit of webcrawling spider food searches if I happen to be right (since I haven't seen this theory yet anywhere on Google searches)! ;D
http://grogheads.com/forums/index.php?topic=10869.msg277563#msg277563
Back on-topic (of not talking about that particular theory :D ) : soooooo, if the Sakarans were hired by Ronan to go after the stone, that's probably a key explanation for the rumors that Marvel is planning a Planet Hulkish storyline crossing over with Guardians 2 after Age of Ultron (thus bringing Thanos to Earth for Avengers 3).
Not direct confirmation, of course; maybe not even strong inductive weight. But interesting -- there are a ton of minor Marvel races they could have pulled from (and did apparently pull from originally before running into rights issues, I expect from the Fantastic Four package if not the X-Men -- both have long-running connections to relatively minor alien races, and the FF rights were the reason we couldn't have nice Skrulls in the first Avengers movie.)
But is there a little more confirmation? Maybe! -- one of the totally random-looking Easter Eggs in the film is the hot chick on Star Lord's ship at the beginning of the movie! Who is that?
That's Bereet, a quite "spacey" intergalactic artist whose main claim to fame is appearing in random issues of The Incredible Hulk in the 70s and 80s! (And a few times since then.) She has something of a crush on the Hulk and likes to make films of her fictional adventures with him, though also a legitimate documentary eventually; she became his lover at one point after Bruce's wife left him.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bereet
Very interestingly, while in the released film she only wears the shirt Peter was abducted in years ago as a boy (which is itself rather creepy!), there are production photos showing her wearing, not the Flash Gordony space bikini drapes she wears in the comics, but an outfit much more like a Grecian warrior.
I strongly suspect there was a dropped subplot where she was going to play a much more important role, as she can be seen in the released film keeping a suspiciously close eye on Peter's conversation with Yondu while trying to look vapid whenever Peter turns around. But this behavior isn't followed up on.
I kind of got the feeling Thanos would turn out to be Quill's father because of the several references made that he "Fathered " children all over the galaxy including the green good girl and the metal-faced bad one. That made sense to me about his father being a jerk. If I had seen anybody listening to Rock & Roll, I would've jumped on that. Great piece Jason.

It could be connected to Drax's true heritage (should they follow the comics). Thanos has been to Earth, and killed Drax's family. He could have knocked- up Quill's mom, or maybe it was Ronan. Or maybe it really will be Jason/J'son, and all the chatter is a diversion.
If Thanos is Quill's father, does this turn into a Star Wars re-tread? :coolsmiley: That smile he gave at the end of Avengers when Earth was mentioned looked like a "Great Lay Memory" smile to me.

Wife & I saw GG last night. Very entertaining. Movie does not require understanding the characters or the fictional universe to enjoy the movie.
One of the funnier superhero movies ever made.
I found that the Starlord character carried the movie with help from the racoon and the tree.
I've liked several other superhero group movies better than GG (Avengers, several of the X-Men movies, and the latest Captain America which had Black Widow and the Falcon as well as Cap). But I enjoyed GG and I'm not a big movie goer.

Somewhere Josh Weddon is saying to himself, "Damn. If only I had put a raccoon and a talking tree in Firefly....." ;D
He might still do that. I'm hoping once he's done with Marvel he'll do a reboot of the Firefly 'verse. Maybe bring in some of the old characters too. A Browncoat can hope, at any rate.

It isn't just chatter -- the 'true father' angle is very explicitly brought up within the valid 'science of the film' in a scene that has no point except to report this as established fact and as an explanation of why he could do a particular thing without immediately dying.
The Thanos theory: he doesn't really have children (that I can recall offhand). He adopts children from races he destroys; Gamora explicitly explains she was adopted that way. Also...
Quote from: Sir Slash on August 09, 2014, 09:24:52 AM
That smile [Thanos] gave at the end of Avengers when Earth was mentioned looked like a "Great Lay Memory" smile to me.
...that's... actually an apt interpretation of the smile at the end of the Avengers! But not because he visited Earth before. (He might or might not have in the Marvel Filmiverse.) Thanos (whose name is borrowed from a Greek word for death, btw, thanatos) has a haaarrrrrd crush on Marvel's living embodiment of Death and is trying to court her. Thus his grin at hearing his minion saying, "Whoever fights the Terrans is courting death." (That's partly because he was created by Jim Kirby when returning to Marvel after creating Darkseid for DC after helping create and write Thor. Whew... Darkseid seeking Anti-Life Equation == Thanos courting Death. If there isn't a Thanos/Thor story about "Death And Hel" somewhere already, there ought to be! The recursive style points alone would be staggering.)
Anyway the gist is that he doesn't give a poot for any woman less than Death.
More super-obscure but noteworthy trivia:
* The Badoon are the alien race most connected with Yondu as enemies (having slaughtered most of his people), and they were going to be who were helping Ronan in this film until Fantastic Four rights issues conflicted since they first appeared in the late 60s Silver Surfer series.
* I'm not sure the comics Peter Quill ever fought against Ronan, but for a while he was allied with Ronan as his military advisor!
* The original Guardian comic series, featuring Yondu as a key member of the team, eventually picked up Captain America and Sharon Carter as temporary members (displaced in time, since the series was set more than a thousand years in the future of the contemporary Marvel canon). Sharon Carter was introduced, though not very well, in the Cap 2 movie; so I wouldn't be too surprised if they get together with the Guardians sometime before, during, or after Avengers 3! -- though more likely during or after. This would also make room for Sam Wilson, the Falcon, to take over as Cap in the movie series on Earth, to better fit comics continuity (if they still have that going by then -- which I hope they do, it's a great idea to have Rogers go into management/retirement and let Wilson pick up the role.)

The Badoon storyline from the X-Men comics, circa early 80s I believe, was one of the many storylines that stuck with me throughout the years.
QuoteThe Thanos theory: he doesn't really have children (that I can recall offhand). He adopts children from races he destroys; Gamora explicitly explains she was adopted that way.
This had occurred to me, but the movies do take liberties.
I come back to the fact that Peter's mom called him her "little Star Lord" in the movie, possibly implying that his father is her big "Star Lord". Who could be this nobleman from the stars?
Eros/Starfox? Making Thanos Pete's uncle? Starfox certainly got around, and has been to Earth.

Starfox, or a movie version of him, is definitely a contender, although there's no direct in-movie evidence for it (other than "your... pelvic sorcery!")
It remains to be seen how many Titans show up, but since Thanos is around that opens the doors.
Going back a bit: it isn't likely Drax is comic-canon, for he says which people Ronan destroyed and they weren't a human family and Ronan showed no evidence of even knowing about Earth, much less caring.
I've been married a long time but even when I was single, if it was green I'd turn it down. Just saying.
Comic-canon means little to the movie writers. It is simply a starting point for their own concepts.
I wouldn't say it means little; the Studio series has done well mixing respect for comics-canon (both overtly and subtly) with a willingness to strike off in new directions while still staying true to the spirit of the original canon.
And Guardians may have the most little nods to obscure canon of all the movies so far even if they aren't employing the bits in a canonical way. Those two Nova Corps guys with the most lines played by beloved character actors? -- I mean who weren't Glenn Close's Nova Prime? Major Nova Corps characters in the comics; with different (sometimes very different) stories in the movie but still echoing their comic stories, sometimes in reversal. (Example: John C. Reilly's character in the comics lost his wife and child when Nebula destroyed most of Xandar, becoming in effect the movie's version of Ronan the Accuser! In the movie he fights the movie-version of his character in the comics, and doesn't lose his wife and child. That's kind of genius.)
