It was JAMMED with a huge amount of character (Spider-Man, Sabertooth), team (S.H.I.E.L.D., Sinister Six, Starjammers), and location (Savage Land) info, considering it was such a slim volume.

    Many non-comic book collectors have never heard of The Guardians of the Galaxy. They are 53 years old and appeared in a Marvel Comics book that featured new characters to readers. (Marvel Super-Heroes #18 in 1969) They have a pretty interesting history with a vast array of characters throughout the years. In the new GotG movie (Volume 3), you will get to see some of them being introduced for the first time to the MCU. GotG is definitely many people's favorite MCU movie and I can agree with them.

    That duck was Howard The Duck. He was a Marvel Comic. Star Wars creator George Lucas produced a Howard The Duck film back in 1986.

    Guardians of the Galaxy is in many ways the heart of the MCU. You’d be very amazed and surprised about how these strange characters can hit such deep emotional beats. The ending of this film is one of the most emotionally satisfying and touching moments in the MCU.

    In the post credit scene, they showed you the Dog and his name is Cosmo. A Soviet dog sent into space and a comic book character. The other was Howard the Duck who actually has a movie produced by George Lucas in 86 with Lea Thompson, one of the hottest young female stars of that decade.

    There's a Groot short series, you could watch after Guardians of the Galaxy 2. It's hard to tell timeline of the show, but feels like the shorts take place before and after these two movies.

    Ah yes, your first official introduction to the Infinity Stones (although you've seen a few of them before now):
    Blue = Space, allows teleportation and manipulation of spacetime
    Yellow = Mind, enables telepathy and mind control abilities while fortifying the holder against same
    Red = Reality, allows one to alter the laws of physics in a limited area to essentially whatever they want
    Purple = Power, the most volatile of the stones, if one can wield it it allows them to create immensely destructive energy blasts, and imparts phenomenally enhanced strength and durability
    Green = Time, pretty self-explanatory, lets the holder manipulate time.
    Orange = Soul, a complex stone that holds a pocket dimension inside of it, known as Soulworld, where the souls of every living being reside after death, and allows the holder to manipulate souls directly, as well as resurrecting the dead into spiritual representations (ghosts).

    Hey, Addie! "Guardians of the Galaxy" was an acquired taste for me. I like my science fiction sober so it always surprises me when the zaniness of this franchise appeals to so many. I reacted negatively upon initially viewing this bizarre, star-hopping hodge-podge of juvenile lunacy because it was at such variance with the source material! There were two fantastic comic book iterations of the team that I felt outclassed the cinematic interpretation: Jim Valentino's '90s Guardians which exist in an alternate 31st-century and Dan Abnett/Andy Lanning's '00s Guardians which is the basis for the movies. Each member of the Valentino team was the sole survivor of their kind including a time-displaced 20th-century character who served the same function as Captain America did for the Avengers. They were freedom fighters struggling against an alien invader that occupied the solar system. The Abnett/Lanning team was cobbled together from a disparate group of characters who had been created by a variety of writers and artists throughout the decades such as Steve Engelhart, Mark Gruenwald, Jim Starlin, Chris Claremont, Gerry Conway, Jack Kirby and Stan Lee. The writing duo crafted a brilliant space opera that tied together all the elements of Marvel's cosmic gallery: the abstract entities, the Elder beings, the Celestials, Earth's space-based heroes and every major interstellar civilization. There was situational and character comedy naturally derived from a motley crew of misfits but the stories were serious and the stakes were real. Most everything is played for laughs in the film. Nevertheless, the humor mostly lands and there is an emotional resonance that carries the day.
    I do give director James Gunn tremendous credit for pushing the envelope and going for broke with these little-known characters bringing them to vivid life. He takes pains to authentically recreate Marvel's cosmic setting by incorporating organizations like the Nova Corps, facilities like the Kyln prison and wondrously grotesque objects like Knowhere, the severed head of a titanic Celestial that has been colonized by millions and mined of its cerebrospinal fluid!
    The cast is eclectic but fully committed to their characters which often deviate markedly from their comic counterparts. Chris Pratt is affable and affecting as Peter Quill but his bravado comes across as childish as opposed to the world-weary drifter Star-Lord is in the comics. Zoe Saldana is appropriately fierce as Gamora but is never given a proper showcase to confirm her as 'the deadliest woman in the galaxy'. Drax is presented as a fusion of the dense persona created by Jim Starlin in the '70s and the stoic bad-ass persona he evolved into under Abnett/Lanning. Dave Bautista's impressive comedic portrayal threads the needle between the two versions spectacularly making his character a stand-out! Bradley Cooper nails Rocket Raccoon as a smart-mouthed, bitter, nasty piece of work. The only character in the bunch actually created by Stan Lee is Groot whose enigmatic portrayal is comic accurate and highly distinctive. There was no need for Vin Diesel to be cast in this part but he apparently learned how to say "I am Groot" in fifteen languages! Diesel would have been ideally suited to play Ronan the Accuser had he been rendered with fidelity. Instead, Lee Pace, a fine actor, was made to portray him as a ridiculous maniac while his comic counterpart is much more noble and complex. When viewed chronologically, this is Ronan's second appearance in the saga as well as Korath's again played by Djimon Hounsou. Three other characters making their second bow are Taneleer Tivan, the Collector, reprised by Benicio del Toro, his Krylorian servant Carina reprised by Ophelia Lovibond and the Chitauri spokesman known as The Other reprised by Alexis Denisof. The Nova Corps of Xandar are introduced led by Glenn Close's Nova Prime in an elaborate wig! Most notable among the Corpsman are John C. Reilly's Rhomann Dey and Peter Serafinowicz's Denarian Saal. Sharif Atkins and Brendan Fehr also play nameless Nova Corpsman. The space pirate Nebula who claims Thanos as her grandfather in the comics is repurposed as Thanos' second adoptive daughter and Gamora's rival in the film where she is played by Karen Gillan. Thanos himself, only briefly glimpsed in "Avengers", finally emerges from the shadows played by Josh Brolin. Gunn rounds out the cast with his usual stable including Michael Rooker as the Centaurian Ravager Yondu Udonta. In the comics, Yondu is from the 31st-century Valentino team of Guardians and he uses a bow to fire his yaka arrows whereas the movie sets Yondu among the Abnett/Lanning team of Guardians and cleverly has him whistle to control the flight of his sound-sensitive yaka arrow. Other Gunn troupe members are the director's brother, Sean Gunn, as Ravager Kraglin, Nathan Fillion as the lewd CGI inmate who gets hoisted by his nostrils and Gregg Henry as Grandpa Quill. Christopher Fairbank has a small role as a skittish broker. Laura Haddock plays cancer-stricken Meredith Quill and Wyatt Oleff of "It" plays young Peter. Tomas Arana has a bit part as the Kree Ambassador as does sepulchral-voiced Ralph Ineson as a Ravager pilot. Finally, Seth Green provides the voice of Howard the Duck!
    TRIVIA:
    1. Chris Pratt lost sixty pounds for the role, Karen Gillan shaved her head and Vin Diesel stood on stilts when delivering his lines.
    2. Director James Gunn rewarded any cast or crew member for especially good work with a can of Play-Doh. He gave out forty of them during the shoot.
    3. Quill's ship, the 'Milano', is named after the character's childhood crush, Alyssa Milano.
    4. In MCU-time, "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" occurs just months after the first one in 2014 before "Avengers: Age of Ultron" in 2015.
    EASTER EGGS:
    1. Cosmo, the telepathic canine cosmonaut seen among the Collector's possessions and licking him at the end, actually commands Knowhere station in the comics!
    2. Bereet, the alien girl aboard the 'Milano', is a deep-dive reference to a Hulk story where a female alien by her name accompanied Hulk and recorded his adventures!
    3. The Power Stone contained in the Orb is the fourth Infinity Stone seen in the saga!
    CAMEO:
    1. Stan Lee appears as a Xandarian Lothario with funky shades flirting with a young woman while Rocket is seeking potential bounties with his scanner.
    END-CREDIT SCENES:
    1. A potted Baby Groot sways to the soundtrack while Drax polishes his blades. When Drax perceives the motion out of the corner of his eye, he turns and Baby Groot freezes in place until Drax turns away whereupon the potted twig resumes to boogie.
    2. Sitting morosely amid the ruins of his Collection, a bandaged Tivan sips a tropical drink while Cosmo sympathetically licks his face prompting Howard the Duck to remark how gross that is while sipping his own beverage from the shattered remains of his display case.
    The next chronological stop in the MCU are the "I Am Groot" shorts "Groot's First Steps", "The Little Guy" and "Groot Takes a Bath" followed by Episodes 1 - 10 of Season 2 of "Agents of SHIELD".

    Vin Diesel got a different script that has the translated version of what he said and only the actors that understand Groot knows what he is saying so that Vin Diesel can act with emotion and everyone else can be just as confused. This role is also what brought him out of his depression from Paul Walker dying.

    The dog, with the space suit is supposed to represent Laika. In the 60’s the Soviets launch it inside Sputnik 2. Unfortunately they had no means to retrieve it from space and it died after a few hours. So this means it didn’t die, and ended up in a different part of the Galaxy. :)

    The "Children of Thanos" are really just his minions/followers/henchmen, save for Nebula and Gamora. Also, that duck in the post-credits scene is a character from the comics who starred in a 1986 movie that was excutive produced by George Lucas (indeed, the same). The duck's name is Howard the Duck, and to say that people hated it would be an understatement. They called it one of the worst films of all time, though it has slowly become a cult classic, like "Troll 2" (not the DreamWorks film), The Room ("Oh hi, Mark."), and even Jim Henson's "Labyrinth".
