Guardians of the Galaxy Animated Series

[ZariusTwo]

Senior editor Stephen Wacker hinted at the possibility in an interview last year, but a well placed source has confirmed to us that Marvel do indeed have plans for a new animated series focusing on the Guardians Of The Galaxy. Word is that Marvel were undecided on whether to go with GOTG or yet another Spider-Man cartoon, and although the latter may also happen, it seems they've settled on the Guardians for now. We don't have any info on when we can expect to see it etc, but it's a safe bet that like the other current Marvel animated shows, it will air on Disney XD. You can see the likes of Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana and Dave Bautista bring the team to live-action life when Guardians Of The Galaxy hits theaters August 1, 2014.

Considering how horrible all of Marvel's current cartoons are, I can't possibly get hyped for this one.

The bit where they say they're considering another Spidey cartoon gives me hope Ultimate is ending next year

Hopefully Wacker joining the animation team means a tighter effort on shows, even if the guy is unfortunatly a massive bellend to deal with online

But. Was just beginning to like Ultimate Spiderman :cry:

If it can be done right then sure, if not then don't do it.

I've been watching Beware the Batman and while at first I wasn't so sure about it because of the CGI, When I got over it, it turns out that it's a really solid cartoon and if they can at least have it as good as that then why not. It's actually interesting when you think that Marvel right now is #1 when it comes to movies but DC is #1 with TV (Beware the Batman and Arrow currently)

The current team in charge of Marvel TV animation gives me little hope that this will be good. I'll still give it a shot though.

Considering how terrible all 3 current Marvel cartoons turned out, I'm not all to excited for this. But hopefully it will be good.

[Mr. J]

They should just hand off one of the franchises to Paul Dini and let him create something all on his own without anyone else getting involved. I think he'd do good with X-Men.

[CyberCubed]

Back in the early 2000's I was always hoping Paul Dini, Bruce Timm, etc would get to make a Spiderman or X-men cartoon, but obviously no dice.

I just want to see a good Marvel cartoon on the level of the DCAU. Will it ever happen? Probably not.

.....err...I'm not that sold on the team.... :( then again I don't know much about them......and so far Marvel's shows have been.....okay?

I just think that X-Men would be the perfect choice for Paul Dini, it could possibly have the same darkness with some of the characters as Batman did, obviously it'd have to be lighted up a bit for todays audience but hopefully not much.

Rogue for example is a very tragic character. I think good stories could come out of that, and there's lots of other mutants like that.

Spider-Man characters have often been a little more cartoony then X-Men, which is fine but I'd rather see Paul Dini do something a little more along the lines of Batman: TAS and leave the goofyness to someone else. Hell why not Ciro Nieli doing a Spider-Man cartoon?

Now that is a good idea.

[TigerClaw]

I'm interested in seeing a Guardians of the Galaxy animated series, The only problem is, It'll probably only be shown on Disney XD, Which I don't have.

Anyways, The animated series will probably be a little closer to the movie version, But who knows, maybe the series will have Rocket Raccoon with the cockney accent.

*_*......still wanting a Miles Morales cartoon~ new spidey, new origin~ that'd be so coooool.

[Brodie]

Do people wishing Paul Dini would handle a Marvel cartoon not realize he's one of the main people working on Hulk & The Agents of SMASH? Its awful.

If anything, the Avengers show is still -decent-, just lacking. Its the best of the current Marvel shows, and not totally jokey. They lost the major continuity stuff, but its still alright.

[ZariusTwo]

People tend to let Dini off the hook and fixate all their frustrations wth Marvel Animation on Jeph Loeb, who wants all of Marvel's shows to be less concerned with continuity and be more light-hearted.
