Wolfespada MCU Review - Guardians of the Galaxy
9 years ago
TOP OF THE MORNIN' TO YA, ME MARVEL LADS AND LADIES!
You know it's a major feat when Marvel's taken their C to D-list characters and turned them into popular movies. Even a bunch of A-holes, kinda like...
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY!
Man, before the first trailer came out, I didn't know a thing about them. I'm sure 90% of us didn't. Only one I knew was Rocket Racoon cuz he was in Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Me and a lot of people were skeptical about this. I didn't think this, but everyone kept calling this 'Marvel's first bomb'... what am I saying? They STILL keep thinking a new MCU film's gonna be its first bomb, and they've eaten crow every damn time. Does crow REALLY taste that good? Lemme know in the comments. But yeah, over time I grew more and more interested in it. Came out of the movie a huge fan.
As per usual, I'm gonna discuss the Pros, Cons and the What Should Have Happened (W.S.H.H.), but there's gonna be very little of that.
Pro: DC morons KEEP ON saying that No character in the MCU have any personal stakes, they don't get hurt, nobody close to them dies. First of all: TAKE NOLAN AND SNYDER'S DICKS AND SHOVE THEM UP YOUR ASS! Second: You're morons. Third: The scene where young Peter Quill's mother dies int he beginning still gets my friend in tears. Yeah, no young kid should ever go through that.
Of course the question that always comes up throughout the movie is why Quill never went back to earth for a visit after the 20 years he's been gone.
Pro: The scene on Morag where we see Quill kicking those things while singing... that's when I knew I was gonna like this guy. Seriously, I want his helmet.
Pro: I actually really liked Ronan the Accuser in this movie. So many people still call the MCU villains horrible. Hopefully they're thinking twice after Lex Eisenluthor and that cave troll cosplaying as Doomsday. But Ronan had clear goals, and he was a threat even before he got that stone. I especially liked Nebula and I hope we see more of her in the sequel.
Con: Shame though we couldn't get mention more of the Kree Emperor. And for those who don't know, the Kree Emperor, the Supreme Intelligence, is a huge head in a jar, kinda like Zordon. But then again, wouldn't want to crowd this thing up with villains.
Con: Though I can forgive that, cuz when we see Thanos, he's just awesome. Really hard to believe Josh Brolin's playing him. See him in 'The Goonies' then think, there's future Thanos. Heck, Brolin was BORN to play young K in Men in Black 3. Funny how Thanos looks like he just popped out of the comics, yet Apocalypse still looks like Ivan Ooze to me. It was definitely the lighting when I first saw the pic, but it's grown on me.
Pro: Gamora was just awesome! Funny how I think Zoe Saldana looks much better green than blue. You know what I'm talking about.
Pro: Funny how how a humanoid tree and a talking, gun-totting racoon can be more interesting and likable than that stump that was suppose to be Clark Kent, but they were. Very awesome characters. Cool thing about Groot, when you listen at the inflections of his words, you can clearly tell he's saying something. Another fun fact, Vin Diesel voiced Groot in different languages: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xliy6ZZd1Ik
BTW, you won't beleive how many Baby Groot dolls there were at a Con one time XD
Pro: The Kyln escape scene has become one of my favorite prison break scenes. Right up there with Shawshank Redemption ^^
Pro: Drax the Destroyer is the kinda guy you WANNA be friends with. In a shirtless battle between him and Jacob from 'Twilight' who would win?
Pro: Yondu! What else can I say about him? He's just awesome. Just sterr clear when you hear him whistle. The scene with him talking to the Broker in gibberish is now how I ignore crap that sounds like bullcrap.
Pro: Jeez if Knowhere's just the head, can't imagine what the rest of that dude was like.
Pro: Yeah that purple Infinity Stone, the Power Stone's pretty gnarly. And for those who keep calling them McGuffins... they're not! So shut up! Feel bad for that pink girl. Carina.
So many Scifi, pop-culture references from Quill. Different universes, but I want them to team up with either Star Trek or Star Wars. Either one will be awesome.
Trivia: When Sal said the line 'I can't believe I'm taking orders from a hamster', a buddy at Califur showed me pics from the comics where he was mistakenly drawn AS A HAMSTER! XD So now every time I hear that line I'm cracking up
Pro: Love how they all come together to form their team. We learn each one of them, they're likeable, they play off each other, no one feels left out, and don't overshadow each other. Guys, the X-Men films have YET TO DO THIS! So far it's all been about Wolverine, and the rest of the X-Men are just over-glorfied cameos. Hopefully X-Men: Apocalypse can rectify this.
OK, you guys knew I was gonna be talking about this. The Dance-off scene! The one scene that gets everyone's panties in bunches, so I'm gonna make this clear.... IT WAS A DISTRACTION! They tried a direct hit with him with that Hydron Enforcer and that didn't even work. It all fit with Quill's personality, and they had to think of something, and it wasn't like Ronan danced with him. And it worked, they shoot the damn stone and used it to kill him. And might I add, it was probably the most spectacular MCU villain death so far ^^ Compare this with the Martha scene.... yeah, no. Dance-off wins.
Guys, I cannot wait for the sequel. I love these characters, love their dynamic, I LOVE THIS MOVIE!
I definitively had a heart, along with the soundtrack. What were your favorite songs in the the movie? Mine were 'Come and Get Your Love', and of course, 'Hooked on a Feeling,' baby! ^^
Thanks for your time... and I am Groot ^^
BTW, was anyone else flummoxed to see Howard the Duck in the after-credit scene?! Everyone was cracking up on that.

Seriously, Nathan Fillion's gonna be in it...and not be a CGI alien. And Kurt Russell's gonna be in it. And you just know Thanos is gonna pop up somehow.
But we gotta get through Civil War and Doctor Sherlock Strange first.
