No they won't. People don't have conversations like that in real life.

I'm going to have to agree that GoTG's cold opening has to be up there as one of the best. It completely set the tone.
I don't think it matches the Avenger's cold opening though. The whole crowd at my theater erupted when the Avengers title finally popped on screen. The chills I got when Fury said, "We are at war" and they black out to the title.

you mean editing? ehh, I think you need to watch The Dark Knight again and appreciate nolan's directing and it's cinematography

But guardians isn't better than Avengers. It isn't even the best phase 2 film....
Cause y'all ain't hearin me on how visually appealing or how true to a comic book that film was. But then I remember that most of these viewers aren't comic book fans and are hypebea--- I mean casual movie goers

what you meant by directing is what I meant by direction.
Just the way the movie was put together as a whole.
EDIT: But what does that have to do with the directing. Not the best phase 2 film but it is VISUALLY the best.

I think your talking about art direction and visual effects. And well yeah, a lot of the other movies take place on earth, so its not going to be as visually interesting as a space movie

I def want to see this again. The music was on point. It does have a Star Wars feel to it, they even did post production sound on the ranch, so I guess that adds to it
. As far as the Avengers and The Guardians teaming up, I think it's inevitable but they are playing it close to the vest to people don't hyperventilate about it. Thanos has his eye on both teams, so what are we supposed to think?

Get over it man, true to comic book movies don't work, word to watchmen. Though I loved that film. Plus, geeks are disloyal and flip on a moments notice over the most trivial things. All you have to do is read two pages in any comic book related thread here or the internet to know not to bank on these guys supporting you, go with the mass appeal. Spiderman is the world's most beloved hero though, they can go in any direction. I'd love them to actually try to make a great film though.

I might mean art direction. When I think art direction I think of the comparing and contrasting art styles tho (Leinil Yu vs Olivier Coipel or Ratatouille vs Toy Story)
also imo best soundtrack of all time and best intro/opening 40 or so mins of all superhero movies as well and that has little to do with them not being on earth
Like I said this movie does a lot of things right and a lot of things wrong but the good far outweighs the bad

you are 100% correct, which is why you have to temper expectations on ANY comic book movie

You called guardians the best superhero film in terms of directing and my rebuttal was that it's not even better than Avengers in terms of directing while also adding, it's not even the best superhero anything in its marvel block of films

GotG is definitely the best phase 2 film
A lot of people have been calling it the best Marvel movie period (for me, I wouldn't go this far)

I've learned not to hold it against anyone or the films it self because everyone's basis for watching a comic book film isn't to see how close it resembles a comic book or to even have prior comic book knowledge. That's just something with me personally because I grew up on these many of these heroes seeing them on screen I can't help but so it through the eyes of an 13 year old flipping through pages waiting for what happens next. By all means, that isn't the criteria for rating a film. A good film is a good film.

I mean aren't there only 3 phase 3 movies so far? I mean when you are in a category with IM3 and thor 2, thats not saying much. And for Marvel as a whole, I mean there aren't too many "great" movies.

I dont; even know what "comic book movie" means, these movies have existed for 15 years.
at this point they're just movies.

There is Cap 2, IM3, Thor2, and GotG.
I think Cap 2, IM1, Avengers, GotG and Thor2 are great. That is half the films released so far. Cap 1 and IH were good.
IMO at least. And that's is a ridiculous hit ratio

Thor 2 was forgettable, which is a shame because it has such a huge world to work with. IM3 phoned it in, no question. Cap2 was awesome, the 92% jump in box office revenue proves that. GotG had all the elements combined plus a massive scale well done, I gotta give it the edge over Cap.
Thor 2 great? Ehh. While Cap 2 was good, it was also forgettable imo. Forgettable in the sense that Im not going to buy it on blu ray and if nedt month somebody asked me for a detailed rundown of the movie Id pretty much only know the big parts of it

You know you're not apart of that younger generation right?
Nobody posting in this thread is. I'd say let them decide that.

The fact that we are blessed enough to have so many of these movies to argue about is astounding to the 12 year old version of me.
Just a pilgrim movie? Anyone?
Sandman HBO show?

Why are you stating the obvious sir. Because I'm not part of the younger generation I can't predict how the new generation is going to embrace GotG? Unless Disney's batch of Star Wars movies hit it out of the park, I think it's pretty safe to assume that GotG will be their standard as far as space fare goes.
For me, I was a Trekkie going up, that was my space fare standard

...that are based off of characters created by Stan Lee, Steve Ditko, Jim Starlin and others who've created comics for Marvel Comics....

Spock, chewbacca, Luke Skywalker, Captain Kirk...those are names that pop culture require you to know whether you know where they are from or not. There are 4 y/o's that have heard the name Darth Vader. As of last week nobody knew who Peter Quill was. Even in a months time the name Peter Quill won't ring any bells. Rocket Raccoon might.
