Hey everyone, lamekilla wants attention again...
"Someone try to convince me to change an opinion that I won't ever change... oh no one will do it? That's what I thought"
Guardians is a good movie. It's funny, interesting characters, great soundtrack, expands the MCU in a way that doesn't feel shoehorned, and some cool action sequences. No one is saying you have to love it or praise it, but it's an objectively good movie. Oh boo hoo social media praised a movie that you didn't love... and that matters why exactly?
What on Earth is the big deal about Rocket crying? That was part of his character development.. the initial impression of a tough and hard character is softened by his past experiences and frustrations. He's damaged, flawed, and that's why they showed him lashing out and crying.. plus him crying over Groot makes sense considering they're partners and best friends. No one is trying to convince you that you have to LOVE those character beats.. but it's really not as big of a deal as you make it. That's why they were in the movie, it's how you make well-rounded, three dimensional characters. Give them backstory, give them flaws, give them an arc.
I like my comic book characters based off of the source material. Rocket is the oldest out of all the Guardians members in terms of his first publication history so I was expecting him to be the star of the film. The film was so out there and was so different from what Marvel had been giving us. I was never a fan of the Guardians and Bendis' run made me hate them even more but I was eccstatic at the idea that this would be the movie to expand the marvel cinematic universe...and then it came out. Pure cheesiness. James Gunn took these characters and made them straight C-tier. Age of Ultron did more for expanding the MCU than this film. They should've been outlaws in space instead they're some rag tag group ran by a cornball that come together through love and companionship
Star Lord is suppose to be a master tactician, someone who could rally troops in times if desperation. Chris Pratt was a herb the whole movie. James Gunn took "Now that's what I call music 70's edition" and slapped it in final edit for the soundtrack and you guys ate it up too. And then Rocket Racoon, the only character that had a chance to be 100% like his comic book counterpart...was awful. My gripe isn't Rocket Racoon crying, my gripe is that
ROCKET RACCOON CRIED MORE THAN HE FIRED A GUN! like it was absolutely ridiculous. I was expecting for him to have a gun for every situation. To be pulling out guns from underneath his sleeves that were bigger than him. Instead we got....
...instead we got this. It was a travesty what they did to them in this movie.
He had one emotional speech and one cry.... Peter Parker spent more time crying in AS2 than he did fighting the Green Goblin.
Rocket Raccoon cried when he was called a vermin, cried when Groot was in the midst of sacrificing himself and cried once he saw Groot was in thousands of pieces....
Rocket Raccoon fired a gun when they were trying to escape from the jail.... And........and........ Um...... Howard the duck was in it too!
Spiderman cried based on something from the source material. Something that was he was very distraught from in the comics
SOMETHING THAT CHANGED SPIDERMAN COMICS, MARVEL COMICS AND COMICS IN GENERAL FOREVER...No big deal, we just saw one of the most defining moments in comic book history played out on the big screen. Show me Peter Quill dancing in The Guardians comics and Rocket Raccoon crying in the comics so we can end this. Wait, that's not how their characters are in the comics? Really?? Oh.
Only people truely aloud to bash the mcu movies are true marvel fans that been reading comics and watching cartoons and all that there hole life...
If you just watch the movies and give ur opinion you don't no squat simple as that..
Clearly there are a lot of people that don't know squat. But I promise you there are only 7-8 people in this thread who knew who the Guardians were before the movie was announced. Then you have people who never heard of Thanos before the end credit scene in Avengers, but I digress. Let Disney put y'all on game cause many are lost.
