Brian Fowler Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 That's a classic case of doubling down on what worked. Ego explaining the metaphor in Brandy was one of the weakest points, I'll grant you. But the use of Mr. Blue Sky was so fucking perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked him using the things Peter loved as a way to get Peter to see things his way. He's not explaining the metaphor so much as explaining his actions through a medium Peter will understand and connect with emotionally. The metaphor was less important in that scene, was my read on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait a sec..How did I get lumped in with Mark? I liked the movie a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't think of a major blockbuster to have so little leak from set recently tbh. I'm in the movie business here in ATL, and rumor is the NDA's issued for guys that work on these Marvel films, which all filmed here now, are DICKS. You can lose your livelihood for leaking shit, so none of us "below the line" guys are leaking a gotdamn thing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Well there is a reason every actor for Marvel films jokes about snipers waiting for them to screw up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff Hanger Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I am sorely disappointed at the total lack of Stallone-Who-Knows jokes. Do better, people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APO Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 So, I just found out that an old friend of mine was an extra in Guardians and you can clearly see him in the movie, too. He was one of the Ravagers that were outside waiting for Yondu and you can see him over Yondu's right shoulder when he walking down the steps to confront Stallone(he's tall and rocking a mohawk). Pretty damn neat. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Austin Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I'm not up on my Guardians lore, but with the talk of the "original" Guardians at the end, i thought the originals were set in the future and a guy who had the Captain America shield?

They are. They are more of a tribute to the originals. I mean they represent little of the original team outside of names and races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Yeah for whatever reason they didn't use Vance Astro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I was really hoping that was who Michael Rosenbaum was going to be. I assume they chose not to due to him technically being a mutant and them dropping the future aspect that usually sees him with the shield.

Brian Fowler Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 There are still so many characters they haven't used/basically not used in the cosmic/GOTG sphere. Even from the post-Annihilation 2008 team they've loosely based the movies on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Which makes me sadder about no Vance since he was a part of both teams. I wanted Phyla-Vel & Moondragon though I knew that wasn't happening with Drax's changed history & no Mar-Vell established. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Sugar Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Girls and I watched Guardians 2 last weekend and really enjoyed it. I thought it was better than the first in that it gave each character more time to shine: Drax, especially. My youngest thought the first was better but my oldest agreed with me. We rewatched the first one the other day and I just felt the whole Ronan character was annoying, TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Ronan being dumbed down into just a homicidal maniac was definitely the weakest part of that movie. The only way they can do Heather and Phyla is too massively change their backstories, but I'd be okay with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I wondered the other day if Mar-Vell will be in the carol movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Yeah, I could care less about the baclgrounds being changed as long as we can get to Phyla and Moondragon in some form. I'd really like actual use of Cosmo too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Cosmo was exactly who I meant by "basically not used" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I never thought Phyla was actually somebody's favorite. She'd be easy to do, just make her somebody else's daughter. He real story (cloned daughter of Mar-Vell, because Genis faked things to show he wasn't a complete and total maniac) is too convoluted anyways. I always saw her as the very least of the Vell kids.

Brian Fowler Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 It's her relationship with Heather that works. Really though, any version of Quasar is long overdue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
