Thing is, GL flopped. Time will tell if GotG is actually a huge hit, but it's pretty much a sure thing at this point that it won't be a flop.

Sure but I'm just saying. They start plans for sequels right before release for just about every superhero movie nowadays.

We all know the drama with Amazing Spider-man. We still don't know if Guardians is going to go out there and pull a Scott Pilgrim. (Doubt it but ya know)

*NinjaPug* · 07-25-2014, 09:12 PM

Did GL get the early positive reviews that GOTG is getting?

Marvel is definitely very bullish about GOTG right now.

Truth be told, I'd try and compare this to Marvel's behavior in the past, but this is the first time I can recall when they've announced a sequel to a film prior to its release. Usually, the film has been in theaters at least a day or two before they drop announcements like this. Either Marvel is getting a lot more ballsy, or they feel incredibly safe with this one.

They announced Cap 3 like a month before 2 released.

Who am I kidding...of course I know why.

Because it looks like a good movie that a lot of folks here are excited for? That's why I keep talking about it...

If it's even half as good as we're hearing, it's gonna have great word of mouth. They have a lot of reason to feel it'll have legs at the box office. Granted, anything could happen, but based on the strength of the Marvel brand and how the movie's been received... I'd feel confident too.

Im still deciding whether I should see Guardians or not. From the trailers it looked good, but when I watch actual clips from the movie, everything just falls flat. It's the same problems I am having with TMNT. The humor sounds off, the characters look dreadfully boring (with the exception of Rocket), and the fact that there's a "dance off" in the final parts of the movie throws me off by alot. I just don't know what to think of it.

Not true. Marvel announced it the Monday after Cap 2 was released.

Also, GOTG 2 hasn't been officially announced by Marvel.

That's exactly what I'm trying to say. GotG is a "pop-culture gem". http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/f...lture-gem.html

Actually we should talk about this everywhere. Maybe I should start a thread on suicide forums , something like "Has Guardians of the Galaxy made you realize life is worth living?". Or maybe something like this in the pokemon forums: "What makes you more excited, the upcoming game or GotG?"

Oh It's real, It's in a ton of GOTG reviews. Most people find this to be hilarious, but it just sounds ridiculous to me.

Sounds dumb! Sounds real dumb and lame.

Haven't really heard anything I've found funny from the Star Lord character anyway. Rocket and Groot seem like they might be fun. Drax is Batista so I'll gravitate towards him anyway and Gamora just looks like the typical 'bad-ass chick with a heart of gold and a dark past' that we already have in Black Widow.

Eh. Whatever. What's 8 bucks?

We do have a thread devoted to Guardians of the Galaxy here.

I don't see why you can't de-clothe them. What are they not able to take off clothing in this canon?

I'm not a Bay hater, but still prefer this movie over TMNT, so your logic just went out the f***king window!

I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but why do you keep refering to everyone who dislikes the new TMNT movie as haters?
