Guardians of the Galaxy: Marvel mess in the making?

oh no!! i was actually thinking i'd give it a whirl due to russell's presence and a vague sense that it thematizes the problematics of nostalgia more... not sure where i picked that up from.

im sure youll find defenders but imo it swaps out pt 1's kooky charm for a general cruel sadism, makes a lot less sense and the do-you-see rating of the randomly-chosen themes hovers at radioactive levels

the first one also struck me as shockingly, distractingly violent so hmmm

as always ymmv

kurts great but wasted btw

darragh otm re #2

it feels like it was made by a hired hand who watched the first and went “cast, insults, space, armoured mercenaries - got it,” not by the same bloke who made the insults zingy and revealing of character, and* built the various rogues’ isolated natures getting ground against each other and meshed into a practical, supportive unit

*though this could have been in the previous screenplay by the writer he fought to have uncredited, who knows

but what does this mean for the hotly-anticipated suicide squad sequel

Weirdly and for no supportable reason, I was expecting that very thing to be announced soon (although more likely in the glut of announcements that will assuredly drop immediately after the release of Endgame). Wonder how many extra millions of dollars Disney had to shell out to make that happen.

great news. firing him was fucking stupid.

he needs to edit the next one a little tighter-- keep it under 2hrs bud

also, don't have written a stupid and boring script this time

they were on Ego's planet for way too long. More high flying space hijinks please.

― kiss me dadly (bizarro gazzara)

apparently he's still on for that too

having to do GOTG's effects on Slither's budget would be an improvement imo, except for Rocket Raccoon

a puppet would be great

I want to agree, but the combination of animators and Gunn's acting are the character now, and Gunn Major really uses the freedom of movement

90% of GOTG2 was an unremarkable sea of pixels though, with not much plot and a massively tedious daddy dilemma behind it (meant to say GOTG3 in previous post)

best thing about this news rly is that it ensures dave bautista will be back to deliver another miraculous draw performance

DRAX goddammit

Would be cool with a chunk of the runtime being devoted to Bautista drawing a picture for us tbh.

The irony is that Chris Pratt has become far more gross a figure than James Gunn.

he should go back to being a chubby slob for this next one
