Guardians of the Galaxy was HILARIOUS!! (Reaction)
SO I JUST WATCHED THE GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY (WHICH I HAD THOUGHT I HAD SEEN.... apparently not, gonna call this Iron Man syndrome I think LOL) But it was SO GREAT. I LOOOOVED the way the characters interacted with one another. They were well written, hilarious, excellent writing overall, good plot, good details which intertwine into the MCU main story lore, as well as great action and visuals. I thought it was wonderfully done. I laughed, I cried, I adored the characters and had so much fun watching it. I hope you guys enjoy it with me :' )

At the time, this film was considered a HUGE risk. Nobody in the mainstream knew of this group, and even comic readers like myself weren’t very aware of them unless you sought them out as they didn’t get many shout outs in other books.

Regarding the second post credits scene, Howard the Duck is an infamous character in Marvel history because in 1980s his film was one of the company’s first attempts at theatrical films for its characters and the film was horrendously bad and is considered one of the worst of all time. So his appearance in the MCU could be taken as a shout out to the Lowest point in Marvel’s history and an indication of how far their films have come

[@jovanleonardi1574]

yeah i loved it when i was a kid but yeah it's definitely bad.

[@tenmark7055]

Howaed the Duck was supposed to be an animated film, but George Lucas (yes, that George Lucas) owed the studio a live action film and the original satire and absurdism of the original script was lost in translation.

If you can't (and a lot of people can't) it all falls flat.

[@duckie68]

HtD, terrible movie but considering the source it's still works for me as canonical MCU. Characters like him and Squirrel Girl eat ridiculous for breakfast.

Supposedly James Gunn pitched this to the MCU counsel deal that had with Feige and Joss Whedon and others.

James Gunn has knack for making some really weird things actually work.

[@lordmortarius538]

That 'cool ship' is called The Milano, after Alyssa Milano, a crush of Peter's when he was a kid on Earth lol. The Power stone confers upon its wielder nigh invulnerability, exponentially superpowered strength, and the ability to fire pure energy blasts. This is why no normal being can just hold it, it's far too volatile. Groot's species' vocal cords harden over time as they grow older, so that the only words they can speak are "I am Groot", but those who have been with them a while can pick up on the subtle inflections used to determine what they're ACTUALLY saying. Also, Denarian Garthan Saal is known in the comics as Supernova, who contains the power of the entire Nova Corps within him. He flips between being a good and a bad guy, and I'm interested to see if they bring him back for new stuff in the MCU. Howard the Duck is another oooooold Marvel property, there was a film in the 80's about him that you should check out lol

The Power Stone

[@Scott-ec4cs]

The Collector isn't evil. He's amoral. He just does what he wants. He's an ancient being (like some others I don't want to spoil) that simply decided to have the most unique collection in the universe. That's an oversimplification, but it's him in a nutshell.

[@timmooney7528]

He has a dark elf in one cage

[@anothervagabond]

Doing whatever you want no matter who it hurts is, in fact, evil. As is keeping slaves and kidnapping people to use as display pieces.

[@Scott-ec4cs]

The difference is the intent. The Collector's actions are often evil, but his individual actions can also be good. If he helps or hurts, he doesn't care. That is amoral. Evil actively seeks and desires what is wrong and harmful. If The Collector's pursuit of a rare piece saved millions of lives, then he would do it. If his pursuit of a rare piece destroyed millions of lives, then he would do it. He's very much like Hollywood in that regard.

[@anothervagabond]

@@Scott-ec4cs I disagree with your definition of evil. Being willing to harm innocents in pursuit of your goals is textbook "evil villain" behavior, regardless of what those goals might be. I don't care if it's a 100% necessary step to curing cancer, if you're burning down an occupied orphanage you're evil, period. And even by your own definition the Collector would still be evil, unless you don't think "Kidnap a living sapient being and turn them into an unwilling exhibit." is a "wrong" or "harmful" goal.

[@Scott-ec4cs]

An amoral person often does evil. Yes, individual actions are evil, but those individual actions don't determine what he'll do going forward. You're confusing an action with an attitude. A moral person commits good deeds. An immoral person commits evil deeds. An amoral doesn't care either way. He can commit good or evil. The actions you are mentioning are evil. But I was explaining the nature of the character based off of his entire history. The Collector is amoral which means that many of his actions,such as enslaving sentient beings, will be evil. Some of his actions, such as negotiating a large amount in good faith and dealing honestly with your client instead of using deception or brute force to get what you want, could be considered good. The Collector has a long history, of which we get a brief glimpse in Guardians, the end credits scene in The Dark World, and Infinity War.

[@kenkeep69]

The Collector is an Elder of the Universe. Elders are generally an entity that has a strong drive in some field or pastime (for example collecting) and outlives the rest of their race, thereby being the last of their kind. We have seen 2 and half Elders in the MCU films (one is described as a Celestial, even though he is usually described in the comics as an Elder...but he is a special case).

I didn't look into the name , but Nowhere is the head of a being called a Celestial. These things are HUGE as you can see; and I think Nowhere may actually be one of the smaller ones.

He was launched into Earth's orbit by the Soviet space program as part of an experiment but was lost in space, arriving in Knowhere and at some point being mutated by cosmic rays, he eventually came to serve as the station's security chief. Cosmo has psionic abilities, including high-level telepathy and telekinesis.

The Sony Walkman was the first cassette-based personal stereo system to hit the mainstream market with a relatively slim footprint and low price point. It's one of those electronics devices that changes markets. Iconic. And very much with the vibe of the character.

[@mbpoblet]

By 1988 (when MCU Peter Quill got abducted) the Walkman had been around for nine years, though, so there surely were other pocket cassette players around (though Sony's were probably still among the best)...

[@arandomnamegoeshere]

@@mbpoblet absolutely. And Sony was producing refined models by then. Walkman was still the standard (while becoming a culturally generic term for that tech form factor). Having said that... what we see in the flick looks like a later run of the original model that started it all. A model that was still being produced up to 2010 if I remember right. But again. If we want to talk about cultural touch-points in the 80s... "Walkman" invokes one of them. Including some of the pearl-clutching that mobiles invoke today.

[@tarmaque]

@@mbpoblet Yeah, in 1988 personal cassette players (the technical term for them) were a dime a dozen, but Sony was considered higher quality. That also happened to be about the year I bought my first "Sony Discman" CD player which I still have. (But haven't used in decades.) While advertised as a "portable" music player, it wasn't really equivalent to a personal cassette player. You had to hold it very still, or preferably sit it on a table, to keep it from skipping. However its construction was much better than most cheap cassette players. It just feels like quality, and is actually quite heavy. (Search for "Sony Discman D-90" for pictures.)

The Celestials are kind of like the Titans in World of Warcraft. They didn't necessarily create the universe, but they created an awful lot of the life in it, and they occasionally come back to judge what they created. Xandar is the capital planet of an interstellar empire. It will be partially destroyed to set up the origin story of a superhero named Nova. Although the capital planet gets wrecked, most of the military survives. They decide that rather than rebuild their empire, they instead become the interpol of the galaxy, thus becoming the Marvel version of the Green Lantern Corps. The Collector is one of the oldest beings in the universe. You'll meet his brother in Thor: Ragnarok. He believes that the universe is going to be destroyed and is trying to collect all the things he thinks are worth saving. The dog is Cosmo, a member of the Guardians in the comic books. Remember Laika? The dog the Soviets sent into space? You know how everyone is sad that Laika died? Cosmo is the Marvel version of Laika, except instead of dying in space, he was rescued by an alien who gave him enhanced intelligence and telepathy. Cosmo and Rocket hate each other. The duck is Howard the Duck, a character Marvel uses for self-parody. He's famous for getting into arguments with God.

Infinity Stones. These stones it seems can only be brandished by beings of extraordinary strength. Beautiful.”

7:55 The big blue guy in this scene was voiced by Nathan Fillion aka Mal Reynolds from Firefly. He is friends with James Gunn and James tries to put him in some small part in every project he works on, if he can.

[@oaf-77]

Like Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi

[@Mortigantoj]

The blue alien that gets Groot's fingers shoved up his nose is voiced by Nathan Fillion

[@CalciumChief]

26:17 You're right. Groot's thing is selling merchandise.

[@hitmixhyepock9405]

The end credit scene is about "Howard the Duck"(great movie) and the dog is from "Air Bud (space buddies).

[@jack_rabbit]

the thing you didn't understand was just that it was Howard The Duck in the end credits scene. it was just a fun little nod back to the first real marvel movie, way back before the mcu.

[@jgrimmmam58]

I can not describe how much I was smiling when she mentioned borderlands I just love borderlands so much

[@TitanWar93]

21:20 he can whistle. He demonstrated his skills at a comic con.

[@gachalordnoobie4911]

*When Groot sticks his fingers inside the blue guy's nose* I feel your pain blue guy -_- I was just in a hospital with my nose XD

[@kennethmacgregor-Gregorach]

I always love your reactions, they're so genuine.

[@steven95N]

"Chris Pratt... He's so cool" I'm in stitches anytime someone makes that reference.

[@salvadormartinez8577]

The reference to him being a part of a homophobic church group that supports conversion therapy?

[@daddynitro199]

Saal was played by British actor/comedian Peter Serfinowicz. Aside from being hilarious, he was also the voice of Darth Maul in the Phantom Menace. His impressions are brilliant, particularly his Kevin Spacey.

[@RunicMike]

Everyone loves the Guardians. Their main guy demanded he be in on the crossover movies so he could still write them instead of handing them over to The Mouse.

[@thestoicsoliloquies4041]

About the end tag, Howard the Duck is a very popular character. He actually had his own solo film in the mid 80s. It was the 2nd theatrical Feature ever for a Marvel character. You should watch it.

[@Drake844221]

"Thanos has no chill." Understatement of the century XD

[@anderslarsson7261]

"What if that was Orange-Juice. That wouldn't suck, would it." Uhhh.... I am violently allergic to Citrus so ..... Yeah, it would ;)

[@randycrawford1132]

Funny thing is when Chris Pratt started singing and dancing against Ronan was James Gunn telling Chris Pratt to do something to distract Lee Pace and he did that that’s why Ronan and Gamora were both like wtf

[@samlopez5152]

You will know more about Quill’s family history in “Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2”.

[@sean_mccadden]

Fun fact, Vin Diesel did all of the recordings for Groot, including all the ones in different languages.

[@HellBrYnger]

you know HISHE does have a point, if groot regrew basically out of a stick, what happened to all the other sticks of him on Xandar? "who the hell planted all these groots?!" :D

[@Fonny222]

More than once when I had friends that weren’t familiar with marvel movies and didn’t want to watch anything too deep or emotionally heavy I suggested this and completely forgot about that beginning. When she flatlines I’d look over and they would be glaring at me. But they ended up enjoying it each time and watched the second one as well.

[@generic_sauce]

Best part of Vin Diesel as Groot is he is Groot in every language. I remember seeing a behind the scenes video of him recording all his Groot lines in every translated language! Yo soy Groot!

[@CharlieSoze]

Legit laughed out loud half a dozen times just at @Vkunia 's observations watching this. Back to being my favorite reactor. :)

[@TimedRevolver]

That was Howard the Duck at the end. He had a pretty divisive movie back in the day. In this, he was voiced by Seth Green...who also voices Chris in Family Guy.

[@phousefilms]

Second time. You saw Thanos in "Avengers"as the one who was behind the Chitauri attack. Among the Collectors...well, collection are: A Chitauri, a Dark Elf, Cosmo(the dog) and alien slugs from "Slither"(also by James Gunn). HISHE's GOTG parody had Ronan grab on when they were all grabbing the Stone. Quill:"LET GO!" Ronan:"NO WAY!" Rocket:"....NOW WHAT DO WE DO?!!!" Howard the Duck is a real character. He's been a sidekick to the Silver Surfer, in the past.

[@salvadorjimenez2872]

Enjoyed your reaction to your revisit of this movie. Just for general info: this is not the original Guardians lineup. The dog you see in the Collector's display, is Cosmo the Space Dog. In the comics he's a member an earlier lineup of the Guardians. Yondu was an original member of the team, not the merc ravager you see in the movie. Finally the duck you saw in the end credits, is Howard The Duck. Also from space, & arguably one Marvel's weirdest quirkiest characters.

[@timidwolf]

Denarian Saal, the nova corps fleet commander was played by Peter Serafinowicz who was also the voice of Darth Maul in Star Wars Episode 1, he's also very well known for various projects with Simon Pegg. On that note I highly recommend watching a British comedy series called 'Spaced', it's only two seasons but hilariously weird.

[@pleutron]

To go with the end credit scene with Howard The Duck, you should check out the old school cheesy pre-MCU era movie, Howard The Duck. Many cheesy laughs to be had.

[@michaelsublet3283]

Every good Disney movie starts with a parent dying, Finding Nemo, Bambi, Lilo and Stitch etc

[@darthmix]

The films leave it kind of open to interpretation but according to Kevin Feige baby Groot is not Groot regenerated but a wholly separate character (though obviously a blood relative). Groot #1 did die & his sacrifice was real.

[@catrocastre8215]

I think you are right.

[@corpusD]

The last teaser scene is with Howard The Duck. It was one of the first Marvel movies in the 80s but it did not do well in the box office.
