The first movie.

>Peyton Reed and Anna Boden & Ryan Fleck were approached to direct the movie before James Gunn was hired.

>Nicole Perlman wrote the first - and very different - draft of the script: Star-Lord was an U.S. pilot who is accidentally jettsioned to another galaxy in a military experiment gone wrong and joins forces with a group of intergalactic outlaws to stop the Badoon from conquering the galaxy.

>Early drafts featured Richard Rider joining the Nova Corps and developing a feud turned friendship with Star-Lord, but Gunn scrapped the concept in order to streamline the narrative.

>Early drafts featured Bug as a member of the team; appearances by Adam Warlock and Rom, the Space Knight; and included the Badoon as Ronan's army and the Spartoi as the Krees' lifelong enemies.

>Early cuts featured ELO's "Living Thing" and Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky".

>Early cuts featured Stan Lee as one of the items in the Collector's inventory, but it was cut for being too meta.

>Joel Edgerton, Eddie Redmayne, Jensen Ackles, Jack Huston, Cam Gigandet, Sullivan Stapleton, Logan Marshall-Green, Garrett Hedlund, Chris Lowell, James Marsden, Jim Sturgess, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Aaron Paul, Michael Rosenbaum, Wes Bentley, John Krasinski, Lee Pace and Glenn Howerton auditioned for Star-Lord before Chris Pratt was cast.

>Gina Carano, Olivia Wilde, Rachel Nichols, Thandie Newton, Elizabeth Banks and Adrianne Palicki auditioned for Gamora before Zoe Saldana was cast.

>Jason Momoa was approached for Drax, but refused to cut his hair for the role. Djimon Hounson, Brian Patrick Wade and Isaiah Mustafa auditioned before Dave Bautista was cast.

>Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler and David Tennat were approached to voice Rocket before Bradley Cooper was cast.

>Gal Gadot auditioned for Nebula before Karen Gillian was cast.

>Marvel Studios offered to allow Fox to retain the rights to Daredevil in exchange for using Silver Surfer and Galactus in the movie, but Fox declined.

explain to me why an adult man would pay to see a movie for children.

They should have cut back on Drax's laughing and pointing things out. Less is more.

the fruit not being ripe joke was not funny by the time Nebula did it to the ravagers.

the gamora quill romance was unnecessary.

the surface of ego made me think about that episode of futurama where leela almost marries the shapeshifter.

why did no one think it was odd that Ego had the museum display pods ready to explain his history?

>why did no one think it was odd that Ego had the museum display pods ready to explain his history?

His name is EGO.

This is the best capeshit since winter soldier

That's what I thought also.

>>82469260
>Matthew McConaughey was approached to play Ego, but ultimately declined, and Kurt Russell was cast at Chris Pratt's suggestion. Liam Neeson and Gary Oldman were also considered.
>David Bowie was slated for a cameo before his death in 2016.
o fug, these are the worst

>>82469731
I like McConaughey but Russell was ideal for the role. I can't really buy McConaughey as Chris Pratt's father. Neeson and Oldman are also cool but don't have that easygoing warm charm that Russell has.

No Bowie hurts.

>U.S. pilot who is accidentally jettsioned to another galaxy in a military experiment gone wrong and joins forces with a group of intergalactic outlaws to stop the Badoon from conquering the galaxy.
That's weird, where the fuck have I heard this one before?
Oh wait, that was the goddamned Farscape pilot.

I fell asleep to this movie

The other recent movie I fell sleep to was Lego BATMAN

The soup scene.

>>82469816
It is also similar to Star-Lord's original backstory from the comics

>Alien shows on Earth and approaches NASA to pass on his gear to a worthy human.
>Peter Quill doesn't get picked to be the guardian of the galaxy and gets butthurt enough to steal the alien's gear and blast off into space to stir up shit instead.
>Shit gets too real and he ends up maturing the fuck up and forming the Guardians of the Galaxy.

what was up with all the cameos?

are actors just doing it to stop the fan casting and constant calls to be in a cape flick?

>>82470120
>Do a cameo in a big capeshit flick, have your kids think your actually cool instead of completely lame for a weekend.

The entire reason the original actor played Dumbledore was because his grandkids thought it would be awesome, it wasn't a project he personally cared about.

Can someone spoil all the post credit stuff?

I'm sorry. I really liked the first one but this one was chock fucking full of jokes that didn't land and just scattershot plotting.

Fuck y'all, I laughed my ass off. I'M MARY POPPINS Y'ALL! I even got the Normie's to clap with me.

>>82470185
Mostly jokes.

The 2 non-joke scenes involved the head Sovereign high priestess showing that she's creating Adam Warlock, and other ravagers (that consists of the original 1969 Guardians of the Galaxy from the comics, minus Yondu) getting back together

Movie was worth it just for her.

Who was the actor who played that pompous Sovereign who almost took down the Milano when the guardians were flying through the quantum field?
his face was fucking perfect. He looked so creepy

>>82470244
Also Stan Lee is officially a watcher.

>>82470184
Stallone shows up as the grand ravager.
a

also Nathan Fillion is Wonder Man but cut from the movie, but will return in later movies.

>>82470185
>Kraglin tries to use Yondu's arrow and accidentally stabs Drax.

>Sylvester Stallone's character Stakar reunites the Ravager commanders to pull off a big heist. They are the characters that comprised the original Guardians of the Galaxy in the comics: Aleta (Michelle Yeoh), Charlie-27 (Ving Rhames), Martinex (Michael Rosenbaum), Mainframe (Voiced by Miley Cyrus) and Kruggar.

>High Priestess Ayesha creates the perfect weapon to destroy the Guardians and names him "Adam", a reference to Adam Warlock who is a major character in the comics.

>Edgy teenage Groot refuses to clean up his room.

>Stan Lee in an astronaut suit reporting to the Watchers, the peeping toms of the galaxy. They get bored by the tale of his adventures as a Earth postman and leave him stranded on a barren moon.

>>82469364
Spirit in the Sky isn't in the first one? I really thought it was

>>82470326
Wait Stan Lee was in the first xmen is he a watcher in that universe and the Raimi universe too?

>>82470359

>>82469260
>>Matthew McConaughey was approached to play Ego, but ultimately declined, and Kurt Russell was cast at Chris Pratt's suggestion. Liam Neeson and Gary Oldman were also considered.

surprised this even happened. Kurt Russell nailed that part perfectly.

>>82470392
Ah, that's probably why I thought that then. Overall these changes seem like they were probably for the best. Imagine GotG with Aaron Paul, Rachel Nichols, Jason Momoa and Adam Sandler with Gal Gadot as Nebula

Fan theory here...but, MCU, raimi spider-man, webb spider-man, and X-Men are the multi verse(referenced in Dr.Strange) which is why there are so many Spider-Men, Hulks, Daredevils, Quicksilvers, etc and Stan Lee is passing through then all...watching.

There's going to be a scene in infinity war where everyone is beaten and Stan Lee breaks the 4th wall and saves everyone isn't he?

>>82469631
>why did no one think it was odd that Ego had the museum display pods ready to explain his history?

It's always funny sci-fi movies with tech in it and shit always do this when a character explains background story or their story or whatever.

Like..I feel like everyone gives scenes like these free passes, but in the context of the actual movie or show, it almost never makes fucking sense.

I always roll my eyes during these kind of exposition dump scenes in sci-fi shit.

Stan Lee drinking the Brazilian soda with Hulk's blood means he's not a Watcher. That's how they found Bruce Banner. That's NOT watching, that's interfering.

>>82470771
in man of steel it was ok. it was all running from the Jor-El AI that was sent with Kal-El, and running on the metal pixel display on the old science ship.

>>82469364
>that fuckhuge list of actors auditioning for Star-Lord
kek, imagine all the possibilities

>>82470771
We have museums, you now. You can visit them and learn the history of a place or even a specific person depending on where you are.

Hell, I'm sure there is one dedicated to the Un family in North Korea.

>>82470854
>>that fuckhuge list of actors auditioning for Star-Lord
and can you believe it's only cause he got a job on Jurassic Park. Once an actor gets a lead role in a mega movie other studios dick ride them too hoping it works out in the end because if another studio is willing to bet 500 million dollars on a lead role for them their risk is lessened. This doesn't always work though see Sam Worthington's career.

>>82470815
>Watchers
>not interfering
pick one but ocasionally two

>>82470866
but why would Ego have one, already made? he doesn't have guests.

all he has is mantis. the only building on the surface of Ego, should have been a tiny house for mantis. Since Ego's human form didn't need housing.

Ego, if he wasn't a monster that had made this show for countless numbers of children, he then murdered; should have made the building the Guardians stayed in, on the spot in front of them.

>>82470854
Gunn said that had he not been convinced to audition Chris Pratt he would offer the role to Glenn Howerton.

>>82470866
What part of him saying in context of the movie didn't you understand. He set up this nice little display in his 'home' for when he one day would MAYBE find his son and could explain to him and his friends what his purpose is

Demi-god can't even sculpt actual representations and has to use faceless mannequin looking representations.
As far as the movie goes, that was literally for the audience, as it is most of the time. And eventually when you actually think about it from the plots standpoint, it's pretty dumb.

We will never see Bowie as himself hanging out in some space bar with Howard the Duck

>>82471107
but the guardians didn't know until ego reveals himself to be the badguy

so they should have been suspect. at least gamora was.

>>82471107
Too busy dying from the epic quippage

>>82469631
>Drax's laughing
Agreed. After the third time I was just kind of groaning as his laugh started to feel fake or forced or perhaps noticeable that Bautista's not a great actor despite being much better this time around.

I think it would've benefited quite a bit if his laughs were varied instead of the same one over and over again.

>>82471184
Fuck that Bowie is a good actor when playing weird people. He was a good Tesla. They could have utilized him better than "Hey kids, it's David Bowie" as he gets high with Donald Duck and drifts into space as Space Oddity plays.

>>82471271
No ones laugh but Rockets really feels genuine. I mean I know they are all acting, but they are bad at pretending to laugh.

I kept hearing how funny the scene is where empath girl touches Drax while he's laughing and starts laughing too. Then actually seeing it I didn't laugh at all because they are both awful at fake laughter.

>>82469364
>Thandie Newton

I swear, that bitch needs to fuck off already. Her shit was barely ok, but once Newton 2.0 arrived(Saldana) in Hollywood, she didn't stand a chance.

>>82471351
Yeah, Bradley can laugh.
https://youtu.be/_uUh2A1IH7U?t=36s

Ronan could have used some more development time in the first movie. to show what a theatrical blowhard he was. thanos calls him out on it, but they really didn't convey it to the audience well enough. which makes the whole Dance Off at the end so weird.

Ronan wanted his big theatrical ending as he wipes out Xandar. Then it just gets derailed by this human wanting to dance.

>>82471271
Fuck off man, batista's a genuinely good actor, one of the best in the wwe, leagues ahead of the rock, that's for sure

>>82471334
Look I don't give a fuck about whatever your point was I am just glad somewhere here called that song Space Oddity and not something like "Ground Control to Major Tom".

>>82471435
Goddam I've had this movie on DVD for a while and still haven't seen it I need to watch this shit already.

>>82471334
>Space Oddity
>Not Starman

>>82471554
It's a terrible movie, btw. David O. Russell doesn't know how to make a simplistic, straight to the point movie to save his life.

Sorry. I don't know shit. Who did Russel turn into for a moment when he first reconstructed himself after Pratt goes apeshit on him?

>>82471675
David Hasselhoff, the actor he was talking about with Gamora earlier in the movie.

It made sense in this because Ego was egotistical and considering how many children he had to bring back and explain everything to in order to try and bait them into giving themselves up to him.

So I just finished the movie.

Why did Ego reveal that he gave the mom a tumor?

And why did he do it?

>>82469625
To get away.

>>82474001
his name is literally Ego. He was so far up his own ass that he probably figured dropping that bomb on Peter wouldn't affect his plan.

that shit caught me of guard, I was expecting another human-like rock formation, kek. Everyone lost their shit on the theatre

A lot of Star Lord's jokes fell flat this time around and felt unnecessary because of how funny Drax and Rocket were.

Peter/Gamora came off as kind of forced and the progression of their relationship could've been handled better.
Peter starting to act like a forceful asshole because he met his dad seemed out of character.

My only real gripes with the movie.

>>82474166
> He was lying about loving her right?

Naw I think that bit was genuine. He needed a reason to stay away because it would interfere with his project. So tumor.

Nope, and I doubt they'd have time to with how that show works them like dogs with 23 episode seasons for 12 years straight. I kinda feel sorry for them because Jensen would've had to quit a steady gig for a big break with roles he was shortlisted for like Captain America/Hawkeye/Star-Lord, but at the end of the day I guess it beats being a gym teacher in Smallville. Supernatural's ratings are still holding up so they probably get fat paychecks.

Maybe it wasn't as bad as I think it is but being in a room full of screaming kids and parents that went apeshit whenever poop or baby groot was referenced made the movie really off putting for me. It was a essentially a kids movie, nothing like the first one.

Just felt like they focused on whatever quips stuck from the first movie.
