The whole point of Guardians of the Galaxy (the one the movies based on, there was another team that used the name before) was they took all these forgotten, weird and some outright stupid characters and brought them all together, reinventing them in this big space war against unstoppable giant bugs. It was really neat to see all these weird characters from different corners of the galaxy and Marvel's publishing history come together and given a new spin.

It's almost baffling it's getting a movie, not only because of how weird the characters are, but these aren't tried and true comic "classics" like Thor, Spider-man or even Iron Man who was at least well known to comic readers. The iteration they're making the film out of came about in 2008 and was eventually cancelled due to lack of readership, so as a fan of the books, the fact we're even getting a movie is a fever dream come true.

Not a comedy, just something that takes itself less seriously than Star Trek The Motion Picture

I didn't say it was going to change the industry or anything like that. But you seriously can't see filmmakers actually being allowed to make the movie they want regardless of what the audience thinks (read: what the studio execs think audiences want/playing to every human-being-with-cash-they-can-fork-over possible, ala basically every tentpole these days) isn't a good thing? It might just be one, but so what? It still happened, somehow they managed to get by the system and make the movie they wanted to make.

That's fucking awesome.

/this is still of course assuming that's actually whats going on, and the movie hasn't actually been whitewashed for a mass audience appeal (Although judging by what I've seen so far, I'd say it hasn't)

Fireproof, you liked Star Trek Into Darkness, you'll be fine with anything
