Ah. I haven't seen that yet, does it explain how humans have expanded across the universe as you said?

That use human words and obsecene gestures....? Oh well, I guess some liberty is allowed. Oh, I just remembered, All of Thors people are human in a way aswell, well the ones from other planets

The Obscene Gesture thing is for the Trailer(remember, they edit those for all audiences), the Comicon version of the scene didn't have that block.

As for using human words, everything is seen as being filtered through a Universal Translator(the trailer establishes that Starlord has one implanted in his neck).

I never said that. I said that there were more humans than you'd think out there(the Summers' dad leading the Star Jammers, the Terran member of NovaCorps, etc.). They haven't expanded, there are member's of the Terran race that are actively in the larger galactic community for various reasons. It's still less than 100, IIRC, but it's more than the 0-5 you'd expect.

Cool, Still gonna be awesome. It feels a bit like A-Team IN SPACE......
BRB, Gonna Go pitch something to movie executives

Sorry, I misinterpreted you Plat. Still excited.

Let me get this straight. One of the characters is a talking raccoon, but in the trailer all he does is hawk a loogie? C'mon!!! Otherwise I cannot wait for this movie.

Voiced by Bradley Cooper no less....

BOO-Tista looks alright, it will be interesting to see his acting chops in this one.

.. I believe we don't use the R word.

I like Pratt's "come on, man" humor but everything else seems generic and could easily have been taken from the trailer for any given recent sci fi picture.

Feth your reality, I like my world.

To be fair, when was the last time you saw a trailer for a major film that was wholly unlike any other trailer?

Not gonna lie, was kinda sad to not see the Nova in their blue and gold.

A racoon? Is this a kid's movie? I thought it was a comic. Please clarify.

He's an old joke character(like the Red Lantern Cat and Green Lantern Dogman) that got revived in the mid-2000's and used as the team's comedy relief BFG gun carrier. The movie version is a cyborg because of experiments.

A raccoon who shocks Tony Stark with his superior knowledge of science, has a ridiculous arsenal of unreasonably destructive weapons, and as a penchant for shouting "Bang! Murdered you!" As he's killing people.

He looks like he's a bit of a joke, but Rocket (don't use the R word) is surprisingly badass

Originating from Halfworld — and not Earth — Rocket is the product of a cybernetic/genetic experiment. His upgrades include a cybernetic skeleton, genetically augmented brain, and enhanced phalange and metacarpal bones. Who created him and for what purpose remains to be seen.

So again, is this a kid's movie?

In as much as Star Wars is/was.

Hmm not sure about he raccon - I am just going to consider it a honoury Skaven

Could be fun - good music, hot green girl and some humour.

Still at least its nothing to do with Christopher Nolan so it can;t be all bad.

I actually liked it. Loved the "flipping the bird machine"!

I've got high hopes for this movie now, I hope it doesn't bomb at the box office.

I'd say Phantom Menace was definitely a kid's movie.

I can't wait for this!


I can't be the only one who's excited by Vin Diesel voicing Groot. Just think back to The Iron Giant and you should know why that makes me giddy.

Yeah, that's true that's why trailers rarely impress me.

It wasn't like the Iron Man and Avengers movies didn't have comedic/silly moments.

Er...furry llittle animals as characters usually mean its a Disney movie. I'm asking-is this a Disney movie?

All marvel movies are Disney movies.

Good point.

This is not a disney movie for children, this a marvel movie (owned by disney) that seems to be aimed primarily at the young male demographic with moments for younger and older audiences. I imagine it will be similar to the Avengers in that regard.

I'd say Phantom Menace was definitely a kid's movie.

As in written by a 5 year old............I'd agree. Gak movie grumble grumble.

Going to be a nerd hipster and say I was a fan of the GotG before they were cool/had a movie. So I'm quite excited. Rocket & Groot look awesome.

I was a Rocket R-word fan way before he was revamped and made a GotG member.
