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 |

So, apparently (GOTG) the infinity gem was the power gem, according to some artbook? I am disappointed that the gem that they ended up guarding wasn't actually the galaxy gem, if we go by color

JediTalentAgent posted:One thing that really struck me in the movie is how well the Knowhere defeats really felt absolutely crushing for the main characters: Drowned, suffocated, frozen, beaten, robbed, captured, etc., but ultimately ended up uniting them. Actually, the counterpoint scene is the entire Helicarrier fight. And they still mope around until Nick Fury has to lie to them to do anything about the aliens stomping New York into a mud hole. I mean, I still like the Avengers, but seeing GOTG kinda underlines and bolds how needlessly terrible they were to each other, except for Tony and Bruce.

Lurdiak posted:Tony TASED Bruce. When was that? I just remember them being Science Bros. It would be nice if they didn't chase the Spacedad plot thread and make the sequel Gamora centric.
