Pander posted:I started with the 2008 #1 comic on marvel comics unlimited (yay $1 month deal). It's a bit confusing in the early-going because there's several characters not in the movies (at least not with any real role in the movies) and it kinda dumps you in the middle of some action. Fun read so far. Question for people who know this stuff well, is there a better jumping off point to get into it, or is that as good a point as any? There was Annihilation then Annihilation conquest which sets up Guardians of the Galaxy.

e X posted:The Guardians of the Galaxy ongoing was the direct result of a huge event that changed a lot of stuff and set things in motions of which you only really see the resolution in the comic series. It also changed a lot of characters, like Drax or Ronan, who had been around for a long time, but really used in (then) recent years. There is this picture floating around on the net, which a recommended reading order. Here you go  Funny enough in the comic Gamora and Angela are awesome as they just love killing and fighting things together.

Riven posted:Where does the Infinity Gauntlet stuff fall in with that? Since that's what's coming up I'f like to read it. Any similar image/list for that story? For Infinity Gauntlet its Silver Surver 34-38, Thanos Quest, Infinity Gauntlet miniseries. Also the Bendis written Guardians of the Galaxy is closer to the movies team then the other one.

OneThousandMonkeys posted:To be fair, the only reason it's absolutely clear to anyone that we've been doing infinity gem storylines for a few years is because Joss Whedon or the like said in an interview (or at a con or something) that X and Y macguffins were actually infinity stones. Other than that it's not very clear, which is annoying at this point. Or lines like the Collector going 5 to go and showing all 6 of them in this movie.

Hakkesshu posted:No, Annihilation Conquest is the sequel to Annihilation. There's no way other than going digital unless they reprint it again, which might happen due to GotG, but you will probably have to wait like at least six months. Or more likely closer to the release of Guardians 2.

Slugworth posted:Knowing nothing about the character and his fondness of cocoons, is there any reason not to assume he was just cocooned during Quill's teenage/early adult years? It would work if he was injured and then due to the gem being used in his proximity he is awoken.

Slugworth posted:So he can cocoon himself? Like, that's an existing (not that it really truly matters I suppose) ability of his? The wiki only mentions a cocoon in terms of his creation. He can in order to heal himself. He cocoons himself when he becomes injured, and its actually him leaving the cocoon the first time that he gets the soul gem. He does it a couple more times when he dies and needs to return.

e X posted:I honestly thought the reveal of Quill's father was one of the weaker points of the movie. I thought the whole point was that these guys were essentially a bunch of Dirty Dozen like characters who were forced to become better people in the process of rescuing a planet, so revealing in the end that Quill actually is special kind of undermined that point. All it revealed was that he was part alien. It did not change anything as he grew up as one anyways.

NmareBfly posted:Yeah. It's also a different perspective from the comic books. Grade-A superheroes are really thin on the ground in the MCU. We have the Hulk, basically. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch soon, I guess. Whereas in the cosmic side of the comic books you'll have whole races that manage to generate one single superhero while on Earth you can't open your front door without bouncing off someone who can shoot lightning out of their rear end. Earth has a weird reputation for being a total backwater shithole that at the same time is populated by an incredibly scary assortment of demi-gods, cosmic beings, and completely insane boy scouts. Pretty recently the galactic community tried to sever all ties and enforce a no fly zone sorta thing around Earth just because we're such giant prima donnas that noone wants to deal with us any longer. Then earth saved the entire universe. The no fly zone was a ploy by Starlord's dad since he is a huge rear end in a top hat.

Harime Nui posted:Speaking as someone who's gotten increasingly disinterested in the Marvel family of movies over the years to the point where I doubt I'll bother seeing Avengers 2, Guardians owned bones. I'm glad its ties to the other movies are minimal as possible and I hope it stays that way. Other then the fact that its main villain is the same as the one from Avengers and has direct ties to two other movies other than Avengers.

FreudianSlippers posted:I hope that if Marvel make a Adam Warlock film they base it on the Magus storyline in which Adam, a golden skinned space-Jesus with PTSD and a sinister soul eating gem on his forehead, fights an evil future version of himself. This future versio has purple skin and an afro and as galactic God-King he conquers countless planets and forces all non-humanoid aliens he encounters into slavery and has all dissidents melted down into usable elements. Adam gets help from Gamora, Pip the Troll and Thanos because he thinks that when the time comes to wipe out all life in the galaxy it will be easier to defeat Adam than the Magus. To defeat the Magus Adam of course travels into the future and kills himself. it should of course be played totally straight except for maybe the clown dimension. You have a bit of it wrong. Thanos helps him since Magnus was created to stop Thanos, and by stopping his creation that no one can defeat him.

LadyPictureShow posted:When the Necro guys were telling Yondu to surrender, I honestly thought the bad guy shouted 'All your men have turned on the Nova Corps'. But since they were still helping in later scenes, I was like 'yeah, heard that wrong'. It was tell all your men to turn on the Nova corps. The reason why they will never get super skrull is due to his character/powers being tied directly with the Fantastic Four.
