He sees a green alien, and his mind immediately jumps to the closest point of reference, which would be the Turtles. I'd probably do the same...

True, And I wouldn't be surprise if Starlord makes a Star Wars reference too.

Yeah, I don't think the Ninja Turtle comment is a jab at the new movie at all.

What? I doubt it's a quip regarding that old script - and if it is, so what? Like Discogod said, Quill grew up in the '80s, when the turtles were big news. It's a fun reference. Not everyone is out to put the Bay TMNT down, you know.

And if you're getting all huffy about people making fun of what you believe will be the simply sublime Bay Ninja Turtles film, just stop. Take a joke, and if the movie turns out to be great, you can say, "I told you!"

Or maybe it'll suck and we'll say we told you. Who knows? Either way, it's pretty dumb to say you won't see GotG because they kinda-sorta-not-really made a joke about Ninja Turtles that made you feel a little bad for liking Bay Turtles.

Yeah your right, I was just pissed at the moment.

For those wondering about the Ninja Turtle reference, Here's the description of the scene
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansit...news/?a=103099

After opening the door with some kind of futuristic lock pick, he lights the room with a sphere that he leaves on the ground. He then tosses a magnetic device on the floor that pulls the orb out of the field holding it, and that’s when Korath and his two thugs find him. Star-Lord calls one of the minions a “Ninja Turtle” before giving Korath his real name, Peter Quill.

That is part of scene we saw a bit from the Guadians of the Galaxy trailer, When he introduces himself.

I hadn't thought about the connections but with the mix tape and Quill being a kid from the 80s.....

Man, now I'm looking forward to some 80s references from Star Lord that nobody else in the cast really gets. XD

Because if there's anything missing from media nowadays. It's references to things from the 80's.

Let me think.

Mmmm, hmmm...Captain America Winter Sol...nope. Hmm...Amazing Spid-nope....Godzi-not really. Mmm, Oh, X-Men Days of Future nope.

Nope, can't think of a plethora of films filled with 80s references bombarding my every sense in the media. Are the 80s referenced in television and marketing all the time? If so, that would be why I'm unaware of it.

Whatever, I liked Ready Player One. :p

I just saw the 17 minute preview, and I have to say that im very disappointed in what I've seen. Probably when I see it on opening night i'll be different, but for now im starting to get a little skeptical. But hey that's just me, Im sure there were others who loved it.

But on the good side, Rocket and Groot were just hilarious.

What didn't you like about it? I saw a lot of positive feedback for it on twitter so I'm curious to hear a differing opinion of it.

[Xiewin]

The jokes felt really corny and forced. Some parts made me laugh, but most of them were just cringe-worthy. It was like I was watching a kids movie with a ton of unnecessary adult themes inserted into it. The prison escape was really rushed and over the top, I know it was just a 17 minute preview, but it was pretty boring to watch. The music felt so out of place, I was really hoping the song "Hooked on a Feeling" wasn't used, but it was and it made the movie feel really cheesy...I really do not like Chris Pratt as Star‑Lord, maybe he'll portray the character a bit better throughout the rest of the movie, but he was just so uninteresting and irritating. Idk it's just something about him that just bothers me.
It feels like some sort of Avengers knockoff or just an average marvel movie. I thought i'll be different, but its not. My expectations were way too high when I saw this. In opinion, this is going to be the most overrated film of the year.

edit: I'm really tired right, so my grammar may not be the best.

[NinjaPug]

Gotcha. I shared your opinion about Chris Pratt as Star-Lord until I saw the first trailer. The more I see of him the more he comes off as hit-or-miss as the character. I think some of that is the editing of the previews I've seen.

The story also seems fairly predictable but that doesn't bother me as long as I enjoy the universe created as well as the characters.

Either way I'm sure Disney is going to make a ton of money off Rocket and Groot.

Rocket and Groot are the best though

[SwiftNinjaFox]

I loved the Quill/Rocket/Groot scene regarding Quill's "plan."

[Xiewin]

That was just hilarious, it was best scene in the whole preview. Everyone in the theater were laughing uncontrollably.

I just like the way Groot is the "Chewbacca" of the group. All he says is "I am Groot" but Rocket, at least if not others, seem to know what he's trying to say.

"I am Groot"
"So what if it's better than 11 percent?!"

[ThatMarvelousGuy]

What a truly fantastic trailer, and I am sorry to say that GOTG will probably destroy TMNT at the box office (and also in ratings). GOTG is being very well advertised, while TMNT is barely being advertised.
