"Guardians of The Galaxy" Offical Movie Thread

Some of the characters they can't use.

Adam is part of the Fantastic four buyout.

(Adam Warlock) Fantastic Four #66-67

Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are part of the X-men buyout but Marvel has stated they can use them. So Warlock could possibly be in the same boat.

Do you really need to act to be Drax

You need to act if you're in a movie, regardless of the role. And Drax is of normal intelligence now, not the big, dumb brute he used to be. If he's just going to be the background muscle guy that grunts and has a line or two in between punching shit then why not just get some random muscular guy to play the part and save even more money? Regardless, the fact that Batista is playing the character is a sign that it's either going to be cringe worthy or the character will be under utilized.

i love guardians of the galaxy(the abnett/lanning run was superb) but this sounds cringeworthy...gamora should look like this
[IMG][/IMG]

not the bland 'sci-fi' uniform they have her in now. cgi rocket raccoon sounds scary as hell...the track record(and here im talking quality not box office) for these movies has been miserable-avengers ^^;.... is the american animation industry just dead? a guardians of the galaxy anime would be killer.

these characters...hell all of them cry out for animation...instead we get crappy cgi pixelated disasters...overly complicated costumes...sucks.

This is the actress for Gamora



And they haven't released the suits yet for the film. We only have a couple pieces of concept art that are pretty old at this point.

This a photoshop someone did of Batista as Drax



Star Lord



Drax


Gamora

im not biting on this stuff...again the track record speaks for itself(would someone give a dime for the blu ray edition of captain america movie ). animation is the only way to handle sci fi characters...they start throwing in cgi and all we get is stiffness and pixel dust...why do they think 'live action' looks good with cgi backdrops? send this to japan let them make an anime out of it and im at the door on opening night.

now of course i could be wrong(it has happened before...little nicky actually is a good movie ...i thought it was going to be terrible).

Shouldve gone with Drogo for Drax. Never liked Batista in anything, not even wrestling.

[Selkirk]

speaking of face palms


all a matter of personal taste but i'd much rather see the cowboy bebop guys do a guardians of the galaxy movie, you can have your pixels

[cbikle]

It doesn't have to be either/or; in addition to live-action Marvel movies, they can always do Marvel-based anime as well (assuming people even want that).

Also that Cowboy-Bebop art posted above just gives me douche-chills.

I don't know who any of those characters are, but I already hate them all.

[Selkirk]

well that was part of the question...i mean is american animation just dead in the water? for american audiences there isn't a choice...all we get is cgi rendered junk w/'live' models spliced in digitally or.... nothing. in fairness i do still have the comics-which again are superb.

notes-cowboy bebop rocks...that will be all

I sure as hell don't.

That new Iron Man: Rise of Technovore is freaking AWFUL.

Just like that XMen and that Wolverine anime series.

Ahhh beat me to it!

It was awful and it made absolutely no sense what so ever. When it ended up with a mutated giant monster the first thing that popped up in my head was....Those crazy Japanese animators...they had to fit in a Giant Mutating Monster.

[Inkthinker]

The "Cowboy Bebop guys" have all moved on. That show is over 15 years old now.

And it's the nature of such productions to break up and scatter the people to new productions when they're done. The business is not structured in such a way as to keep the same people working together unless their individual orbits come together again.

And yeah, the track record for anime adaptations of superhero properties has been... sketchy, at best.
