  1. Guardians of the Galaxy was badass

    1. @rarity I was actually so-so on it. I mean the action wasn't bad by any means but part of me was wishing there was just something more to the film, at least in terms of substance. Perhaps I'm missing the point though.

      1. @northernnarwhal could you describe what you think is missing?

        1. @rarity The story just felt awfully predictable right from the get go, and while some of the action scenes were sort of pretty nothing was all that interesting. It just didn't grab me.

          1. @northernnarwhal I feel like it wasn't a movie about the main plot, but about the characters. It was neat seeing how every single person evolved throughout the flim

            1. @rarity Yeah, the main plot in itself wasn't even really properly finished. Not that it would be, knowing Marvel, by even bother introducing and beginning to characterize Thanos if you're not even going to do anything with him until a later film? Rocket Raccoon was cool though, I really like Bradley Cooper.

              1. @northernnarwhal ....are you really not getting why they're developing Thanos so early? It's supposed to let everyone know "oh this dude is a bad mothergrapeser if Ronan and the aliens from Avengers 1 bow to him"

                1. @rarity Well, I get that, I just feel they're wasting time in an already short film with his scenes.

                  1. @northernnarwhal well, if you think it's wasting time, that's your opinion. I personally think that it was important exposition for the MCU universe

                    1. @rarity A lot of it is really just building up your expectations for a later film that's not even out yet.

                      1. @northernnarwhal well it still serves a purpose in that case. it's up to you whether you think that purpose is stupid or not

                        Thursday, 28-Aug-14 02:54:50 UTC from web
                        1. @rarity It serves a purpose of pretty much being an advertisement for the next big Marvel flick.

                          Thursday, 28-Aug-14 02:56:01 UTC from web
                          1. @northernnarwhal I personally don't think that's bad

                            Thursday, 28-Aug-14 02:56:23 UTC from web
                            1. @rarity My only problem with it is that, as far as character groups go, I like the Guardians of the Galaxy so much more than the Avengers.

                              Thursday, 28-Aug-14 02:57:36 UTC from web
                              1. @ellis oh yeah, me too times a million. I'm just happy knowing we're gonna get a GotG 2 and they'll probably be in Avengers 3 also

                                Thursday, 28-Aug-14 02:58:22 UTC from web
                            2. @rarity I went to watch a movie, not a commercial. Mind you, that being said, the action was pretty and the humour was on point. I'm not saying I wasn't entertained or that I didn't like GotG, it just wasn't spectacular and didn't really live up to the hype that was built around it.

                              Thursday, 28-Aug-14 02:57:45 UTC from web
                              1. @northernnarwhal I guess that's opinions for you

                                Thursday, 28-Aug-14 02:58:37 UTC from web
                                1. @rarity Yeah and I'm pretty much the only one with that opinion ;~;

                                  Thursday, 28-Aug-14 02:59:36 UTC from web
                              2. @northernnarwhal With all due respect, I actually thought it was even better than I expected.

                                Thursday, 28-Aug-14 03:00:13 UTC from web
                                1. @ellis I think my expectations were just in the wrong place and I suck.

                                  Thursday, 28-Aug-14 03:01:16 UTC from web
              2. @northernnarwhal *but why

                Thursday, 28-Aug-14 02:50:18 UTC from web
              3. @northernnarwhal I just wanna say that I also really like Bradley Cooper.

                Thursday, 28-Aug-14 02:51:31 UTC from web
                1. @ellis Bradley Cooper is the man.

                  Thursday, 28-Aug-14 02:51:50 UTC from web
      2. @northernnarwhal It was humorous, had great fight scenes, and was overall well done. For what it was it was great.

        Thursday, 28-Aug-14 02:41:27 UTC from web
        1. @ellis That seems to be the general consensus and I'm on the outside with my opinion on it being decent but nothing special.

          Thursday, 28-Aug-14 02:42:32 UTC from web
    2. @rarity You bet your sweet ass it was!

      Thursday, 28-Aug-14 02:40:30 UTC from web
    3. @rarity Do you know what that movie (or film series, apparently) is gonna have to do in the overall big picture with the MCU?

      Thursday, 28-Aug-14 02:40:50 UTC from web
      1. @mrmattimation well, Thanos is obviously going to have to feature in future movies, probably Avengers 3 or GotG 2, so that's how it fits in. Remember, Thanos was at the end of Avengers 1. And since Avengers 2 will be about Ultron. IMO I think Avengers 3 will bring together every single pieces of the MCU

        Thursday, 28-Aug-14 02:44:43 UTC from web
        1. @rarity Oh, yeah, good point with Thanos. ...I haven't watched any of the MCU movies in a while, I probably should.

          Thursday, 28-Aug-14 02:46:18 UTC from web
          1. @mrmattimation I literally haven't seen any of the Iron Man/Thor/Hulk movies, and have yet to see Cap 2. I should probably marathon them or something
