    Alex is really right about the movie being an extremely ballsy move by the Marvel execs. I remember before this movie came out in theaters, I thought, "Well, this'll be the first bomb. There's no way I'm going to like a movie with a talking racoon and tree." Walked out of the movie admitting I was wrong. They did SUCH a good job with Guardians.

    Welcome to the cosmic side of the MCU, Marvel took a huge gamble with James Gunn's bottom of the barrel hero choice. While I knew of the Guardians of the Galaxy in 2010, a big majority had no idea who they were. James Gunn brought the GotG to the top, he was given free control of everything. The studio did ask him to put in Thanos, but that's all the meddling they did. Now, onto Age of Ultron.

      I watched this first when my Mom was in her last weeks with cancer. It absolutely eviscerated me. I had to walk away and come back (I'd missed in theaters, so I was lucky to have friends who patiently waited and let me collect myself. I still associate this movie with those times. I waited to show it to my Dad (who was catching up on Marvel too) because I knew he needed time. They were high school sweethearts and was right by her side until the end. I missed being there by less than ten minutes. I'm really glad the movie doesn't dwell on that aspect too much, otherwise I'd never be able to rewatch it.
      I also love his reticence to open that last present to him. I still have cards (ones we found after her death) and even a few presents she had misplaced, that I haven't opened. They're some of the last "new" things from her I'll ever experience. Once they're gone, all I have is memories, nothing new ever again. It's another note of finality in a very final situation and confronting that is really hard.

Costing $30-$37 million, and grossing $38 million at the box office is not a "good profit". The film makers don't get the gross amount, just a portion of it. So it lost a good amount of money for the studio. It made additional money later from VHS and TV, but it was considered a financial failure at the box office, as well as a critical failure (film critics hated it). It became a cult classic, but that's a separate thing, and happens after those other things are judged.

    A couple fun tidbits about this movie: 1. In the scene with The Collector, Chris Pratt accidentally dropped the orb but they decided to use that shot cuz it was funny. 2. James Gunn hid secret messages within all the location text in this movie and it has yet to be completely solved (Gunn confirmed New Rockstars decoded about 3/4 of it). 3. Drax (the character with the dead wife and daughter) is played by former WWE wrestler Batista, Gamora (the green girl) is played by Zoe Saldana who was well known for being the alien girl from Avatar so there’s a bit of a theme going on there 😅 Rocket is voiced by Bradley Cooper and nonhumans not knowing that he’s a raccoon and his obsession with prosthetics are running gags so look out for them. Finally, Groot was voiced by Vin Diesel, which is just funny in and of itself
    Hehehe I love the “ahh unagi” reference. To that I say “aaahh salmon spring roll”
    Only Marvel can make a talking CGI tree saying “we are Groot” emotional and touching

    Iron Man was popular but far from a “big” name. The truly big characters, Spidey, X-Men, Fantastic Four, even Hulk, we’re licensed to other studios. Marvel really didn’t have another to use. The big risk was casting RDJ.
    Guardians of the Galaxy was a return to risky moves that worked out so well with Iron Man. I wish they still believed in taking risks.

    • @jeezrice7352
      @jeezrice7352 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I mean, I’m not saying that every marvel film/tv as of late doesn’t have common aspects that would eventually become their go-to formula. However, I also don’t think you can say that they don’t still believe in taking risks, when they have been wildly varying in tone, theme, and are using lesser-known-and-beloved characters like she-hulk, moon knight, Ms. Marvel. etc., and are putting them in the spotlight. Wandavision and Loki were using established and popular characters but the format they used in presenting those shows definitely took risk, as they were very different then most other marvel media. Eternals, M.O.M. and Love and Thunder, regardless of our personal opinions on the quality of said films, did take risks in trying to do something different and adding different elements that weren’t really commonplace in the majority of the MCU franchise. Again, this is not a critique of the quality of those varying media, that is another topic, I just don’t think it’s really fair criticism to say that they don’t try to take risks anymore.

    Don’t get confused going forward, THIS Groot did die. The baby that is growing back is his son, it’s not the same Groot and a lot of people doesn’t even know that. This Groot was Rocket best friend but the new one is like his adoptive son.
    ‘Spoiler alert for Infinity War if you haven’t seen it yet!’
    The directors even confirmed that when teenage Groot was dying he said ‘dad’ to Rocket.
    32:35 Those are the pink aliens that Rocket saved on the bridge and that’s why he told the Guardians of the Galaxy “You saved my family”, there’s a lot of details that gets overlooked in this movie.

      @Latest Obsession He doesn’t have the same memories, James Gunn confirmed both arguments that fans had back then. The first one being that baby/teen Groot is a different Groot and that he doesn’t have the same memories. The MCU a lot of the times doesn’t follow the comics and with Groot they change it, so they are two completely different characters.

    The final post-credit scene features Howard the Duck, an obscure Marvel character from the 1970s who has a cult following. In the mid-80s, there was an historically awful Howard the Duck movie, so this is a re-introduction to the character and a seriously deep cut easter egg.

    Cool reaction. The second and third GotG movies aren't as stellar as the first one, but still, the trilogy is the best thing that happened to the MCU next to the first Avengers, the first Iron Man, and The Winter Soldier.
    13:23 "A little bit more comedy-based than a lot of the other Marvel movies" => Yup. Which means that the GotG never fuck up ruining a dramatic scene with a contractual joke, with forced humor, like in most Marvel movies. It's a comedy, written by a dude who knows how to write them. And drama, as we'll see later on. The guardians are the characters I've ended up being the most attached to in the entire MCU.

    I know that others have explained that the last scene is Howard the Duck, but the "joke" here is actually pretty complicated.
    Put simply, Steve Gerber created the character in 1973 during his stint on Adventures Into Fear, but was eventually replaced due to a failure to meet deadlines. In 1980 Gerber sued Marvel stating that he held exclusive rights to the character. This was the first big legal case about creator's rights vs. work for hire in comics.
    Although that case was settled in 1982, the failed 1986 film created new legal issues with Lucasfilm now holding the film rights to the character. When Disney bought Lucasfilm, Marvel finally got the character back.
    So the end credits scene is basically a giant F-You to 30 years of copyright battles over a fairly minor character.

    With other studios all holding the licenses for Fantastic Four, X-Men, and Spider-Man, Marvel Studios didn't have ANY of their A-list characters to work with when they started the MCU.
    RDJ having enough charm to power a small city made Iron Man a big deal for the first time in years, and everything else started falling into place, but once The Avengers' roster was filled out, they were basically working with leftovers, and they managed to make Guardians of The Galaxy into a surprise hit.

    There are Marvel movies out there that do not belong to the MCU. Some are referenced, like Howard the Duck (1986) who we see at the end credits. Terrible movie, hilarious comic books.
    GOTG was a risk for Marvel to do as there was controversy using characters unknown to most except Marvel fans. It helps introduce the space side of Marvel lore. Success of this movie proves that if you have a great story, nothing else really mattered. Believe it or not, the movie Iron Man (2008) was a make or break risk for the MCU. At that time, Tony Stark was better known than the Guardians, but he was still considered a "C" list character. RDJ's performance turned him into a top tier Marvel character.
