Guardians of the Galaxy | Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana & Vin Diesel | Talks at Google

Some of our very own guardians, Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, and Vin Diesel take time out of their duties protecting us from evil to swing by Google NYC to discuss "Guardians of the Galaxy," their roles within, what it's like to be action figures, and many other topics.

"Wanna play a tree?" "I am Groot." Vin Diesel for president.

Zoe is freaking hilarious. And I agree with her, I wouldn't want to see the Guardians and Avengers fight each other. They're all such badasses and so completely different from each other. I just want to see them all kicking ass and taking names. That and I just want to see their reactions to Groot.

@@nicke9118 I've never heard a bad thing about Vin Diesel, quite the opposite in fact. He's shown that he actually cares about the people around him on many occasions.

[@jmelz155]

Lmfaoooo at Vin Diesel, "Yea I played a tree, have any of you planted a tree after you seen the movie?"

[@parkchanyeol1544]

Let's face it. In a fight between the Avengers and the Guardians, the Avengers would win. I mean, Thor and Hulk. Enough said. However, what would actually happen is that StarLord would crack some jokes and Tony would be all "Finally someone who speaks English" and they'd be best buds and all ends well.

[@connorthesaucejones]

+Swetha Sanjay Sindhu It depends. I think the Guardians work much better as a unit; The Avengers can each stand on their own but they also fight with each other A LOT and that hurts morale. The Guardians on the other hand have it each other and wouldn't have it any other way, so they have greater resolve. That, and I'm not sure every Avenger would want to be in that fight. Bruce would probably abstain if he could, Thor's starting to become wiser so he might see it as a conflict that he must remain impartial to. Plus, I think the Guardians are also more versatile on their own, like Rocket with his crazy tinkering skills and Drax with his ability to improvise just about any weapon. The Guardians also haven't been as fleshed out, so some of them could become more powerful, like the guy who's half-god.

[@parkchanyeol1544]

connorthesaucejones The Avengers have more experience though, talking in MCU terms. Besides, if they did have a fight, it wouldn't be without a valid reason, and if there is valid reason, then the Avengers know better than to fight amongst themselves in that period of time in which they're battling the Guardians. Sure, later they may have conflicts, but not during the battle. They're much wiser than that. Besides, the Avengers outnumber the Guardians. And Thor has become wiser, but if the Avengers fight anyone (for a reason), he will stand with them. And if the matter is serious, obviously Bruce would join the fight

[@parkchanyeol1544]

***** Haven't you read comics where the Avengers fight Thanos and other villains in space? The Avengers who can't breathe have specialised space suits for themselves. They've done so many battles in space and won. And you're forgetting Hulk, he could breathe in space too. Counting the new Avengers, Scarlet Witch can breathe in space too. So that would make Tony, Thor, Vision, Scarlet Witch and Hulk can regularly breathe in space and the others have their space suits. Even without the space suit ones, the five of still can beat the Guardians. I love the Guardians, don't get me wrong, but the Avengers would stomp.

[@parkchanyeol1544]

***** You think Tony already hasn't built spacesuits and other suits and every other suit possible? He prepares for everything. He would already have made space suits for everyone. Why would they need to train? They've fought Thanos in space in the past. They've fought enemies on different planets. And okay, if you're taking only the MCU into consideration, Scarlet Witch wouldn't be involved in the fight. But War Machine could join the fight easily because he has a suit like Tony. And Hulk would never leave the Avengers if he knew they had to fight an external threat.

[@TerrorMau5]

dont forget that drax everytime he fights he becomes stronger as in the comics and drax stabbed thanos through the chest so maybe guardians would win XD

You know, he really seems to click and get the friendship/trust of his female co-stars. When people are comfortable with you putting an arm around them or grabbing a shoulder in moral support etc, and they don't tighten up at all, or even lean into the contact it says something about you. Seems like a sincere, sweet person.

[@JnEricsonx]

Its so funny being reminded how much of sci-fi/comic/fantasy nerds frigging Vin Diesel and Zoe Saldana can be. Much respect that she, like myself, read Dune at a young age! In my case, younger than 10.

[@WookieFragger]

He said a million dollars a minute jokingly, but in all seriousness, if you go calculate according to the runtime of the final cut, the budget is $1,393,442.63 per minute. So it's actually significantly MORE than a million dollars a minute.

Vin has such a beautiful smile. It is a movie that kids can see and enjoy as well as adults. I instantly fell in love with Rocket, Yandu, and Groot. Feel terrible that Yandu died.

They really just foreshadow/spoilt three movies in the year of 2014. This is some quantum realm, time-machine voodoo shit right here.

[@DeMause]

I loved how excited Vin got talking about D&D.

[@ValkyrieOey]

Don't get why Star Lord never visited earth, but outside of that this was a great movie. I think all the characters were really well handled and they had enough interplay and character development and humanization to keep you interested in them and make you really care about them. The story was good and I love how they suprised me with how good of a character Groot and Rocket were gonna be. I love how human they both felt and how you could relate to some aspects of them, I honestly thought Rocket was going to be just the funny guy who fucks around and the way he was such a great character was a good suprise. And don't even get me started on the music... I really hope they make prequels for all of the characters, I would love to have a Groot and Rocket prequel with them just bounty hunters and a story of how they met because they seem to have a long history and i would love to know what made a racoon and a tree become such good friends. Great movie, 9/10, definatly one of the best superhero movies out right now and is for sure in my top 10 list of all time and top 10 list for this year.

[@29wanya]

I could explain the star-lord thing, in the beginning of the movie his mother dies and he never took her hand. To him earth brought up to much bad memories for him and thought since his mother is gone, there's no reason to return Back to earth. Not only that but it took him 29 years to open his present from his mother I hope you got what I was trying to say

[@ValkyrieOey]

29wanya Yeah I do thanks.

[@P0TTERMAN]

It will be such a shock when Peter goes back to earth, because not only has humanity progressed since 1988, but as this is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Earth is more publicly aware of the superheroes phenomenon, due to the Avengers, which will be a huge shock to the system.

[@ValkyrieOey]

[@valensmann]

turniptyrant I like Vin but how could they possibly need someone for a three word animated role? They could get whatever no-name voice actor and just manipulate his voice with computers to get the desired effect.

[@turniptyrant]

star power my friend, Vin Diesel has power and influence over movie goers, sticking his name on a project instantly brings in more box office cash

[@STLCards618]

turniptyrant 100% agree with that. Marvel's got that kind of money to throw around. So why not get Cooper to voice Rocket and Vin to voice Groot? When you're dealing with an obscure comic book franchise and you're three stars, Pratt, Saldana and Bautista, aren't exactly A listers, you need to bring on some heavy hitters. The movie did not need Glen Close either but that sure helped.

[@MrShinobiguy]

Agree with what Chris said at the end to expand the universe and explore new characters

[@Tarotiste]

I absolutely love the last bit of this... Chris Pratt is obviously someone who actually really knows the universe and has read the comics. He mentioned having collected them as a kid, and obviously he didn't want any recent readings to interfere with the director's vision so he prepared in other ways that sounded really smart, and obviously worked well. But... at the end there, he has a lot of that pure magnetism that RDJ has when he's promoting "Iron Man" or the "Avengers"-- and it really just feels like he IS Tony Stark, and he really, really cares about that character and wants everyone to see him as he does. I really can't wait to see where they go next. :) The film was great and Marvel is kicking butt and taking names. Nice job.

[@sluggotg]

[@knifeyonline]

+sgtcojonez +1, personally I don't think Dr Who is even scifi, it's just fantasy since the "science" is so advanced it appears as magic. Unlike teleporters on startrek etc Dr Who scifi never gets explained and it gives the audience the "feeling" it's magic. That's not what scifi is supposed to be about... but anyway maybe I'm alone, I just don't think Dr Who is scifi, just fantasy and it's annoying when people bring up Dr Who when we're talking about scifi.
