They're scared to death to let the actual story and tone out there right now to maximize that ever important first weekend.

I can't say that has never happened before, but I will say I hope that isn't actually the case here. Again, Marvel only has one trailer out for GOTG, and ppl already predict it'll be the monster hit in August (I'm one of those ppl) - so I don't think lack of footage demonstrates a complete lack of faith, but agree to disagree.

And a little off topic...You mentioned story and tone...I just started reading the IDW comics, and I cannot believe how drastically they changed their origin. I was initially upset, but after allowing myself to settle, I realized they hit all the right notes, kept the same key elements, all while giving the story a new twist...it actually makes me feel better about what changes they might introduce in this new movie-verse.
