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

Then you sir are a nerd hipster god!

YES! VALIDATION ON THE INTERNET!

It is a kid's movie as much as Watership Down is.

You just brought back major trauma, thank you for that.

Glad to help
We had a vido store that kept puting in the kids section.

OT: Though I cant wait for the action figures though, especialy with "Special Action Finger Action"

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

I don't think it needs to be wholly unlike every other trailer. I do, however, think it looks indistinguishable from recent scifi trailers.

I know much of my excitement comes from it having Chris Pratt and Rocket in it, but I will agree, if I am honest, that the trailer is actually a bit hollow. I feel like they weren't quite ready to put a proper trailer together yet in post-production, but felt they needed to.

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

Yeah, the kids love all those scenes about tax-motivated trade blockades and parliamentarian procedural rules. Saying Phantom Menace is a kids' movie is just a way to insult children.

From the Hobbit to the RoboCop remake, that nicely sums up where we are with fantasy/sci fi. It's all serviceable enough, by the numbers, adequately "epic," and that's it.

He's gotta be kidding. Tell me he's kidding.

It's offensive.

I find myself far less horrified than I felt after watching the Green Lantern trailer.

I take it back. I like the humor. Interest piqued. It needs a space wiener dog though.

I was a fan of GotG when this was their lineup.



I don't recognize a single one of these new guys other then Drax, who I know from the Infinity Guantlet among other things.

Never heard of GoTG before this movie but the trailer looks decent. Chris Pratt is pretty funny in parks and rec so I am looking forward to it.

He's not kidding. Don't call him a R*****. He HATES it. Seriously, as I'm currently posting this, you're offline. So rather than assume you're asleep or at work, I figure Rocket has already silenced you with his BFG (well, one of 50, anyway). Alas, Hordini. We hardly knew ye.

....actually there is a space dog with telepathic super powers. Sadly, he is not of the wiener variety. He won't be in this movie though. Maybe one of the sequels.

They have a space duck, a space tree, and a space R-Word. I think they're good. And seriously, if people don't recognize Howard the Duck, they need to just quit. Quit what? Well, life, I guess.

Although it gets ridiculous at times, check out the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon, season 2, it's the Guardians of the Galaxy/Nova Corps episode. Rocket flips out any time Spidey calls him a Raccoon. It's considered a slur to him. Yes, Spider-Man is racist against raccoon (for any non-English speaker, that is the singular AND plural form of raccoon in our stupid language).

My 8 year old saw the Racoon. She will not be denied. We are going.

Bunch of racists in here. Racists against furry critters with big guns. Rocket is a bad ass.

And for any of you native English speakers out there the plural is either r****** or r******s.

raccoon
noun \ra-ˈkün also rə-\

: a small North American animal with grayish-brown fur that has black fur around its eyes and black rings around its tail

: the fur of a raccoon
plural raccoon or raccoons

Thanks for the clarification, timetowaste85. It all makes sense now.

Wow... that comic cover has Yondu and a bunch of people I do not recognise.

Lockjaw? Or am I thinking of a different space-dog.

[EDIT]: Nope, looked it up. It's Cosmo.

Bert Macklin- Space FBI! is going to be an amazing movie. I can't believe they let him bumble about on screen. I

If he gets aviator glasses before the final battle, I may just explode.

Isn't Lockjaw a teleporter? (I say this from an instance of him teleporting to another plane during Infinity; I cannot remember if it was him teleporting or being teleported)

Yes.

tends to hang out with Black Bolt, Medusa et al
