CT and Pax are joined by Shawn Robare to discuss the new Marvel movie, Guardians of the Galaxy. We discuss our history with the property, what we thought of the movie and if there was anything we didn’t like about the movie. And we talk about REDACTED.
We already had a bounty hunter vs. Quill subplot with Yondu. Why do the exact same thing with Rocket Raccoon? As for the lack of Star Wars references, was SW even hot in 1988, 5 years after ROTJ? I was 13 then and I'm pretty sure we had moved on by then. Also, GOTG already has a strong SW vibe. In fact, when the film was announced (prior to Disney buying the SW franchise), a lot of us foresaw that they would be trying to go for that feel. Making an overt Star Wars reference would be way too on-the-nose.
Anyway, you guys should pick up the Annihilation Omnibus if you want to read some of the comics that this was based on. Easily the best, most epic crossover since Crisis on Infinite Earths.
