    I didn't go to the 17 minutes preview on IMax or watch the extended trailers. I decided to avoid any more film footage.

    Pictures of Yondu and Gunn talks about Marvel comic connections.

    In other 'Guardians' news, James Gunn tells Moviefone that the upcoming film boasts a "ton" of Marvel references, in fact there's around four times as many in here as there are in any previous Marvel movie"
    "I actually have to clear everything with legal. We put in little things like graffiti on the walls and stuff like that. There's a ton of characters from the comics in this movie, in little tiny roles. But we have to clear everything with legal because once I use their name then I'm screwed in that scene or whatever. We have just tons of reference to Marvel Cosmic throughout the movie. And I'm certain probably the most Marvel comics characters ever in one movie."

    I'm liking the character-focused TV spots that are coming out this week. Just keeps ramping up the anticipation.

    Yeah, in between the comedy and clumsily re-edited dialogue (which we're starting to hear in their entirety where they come across much, much better) there are these small moments here and there in the TV spots that hint at something special if the film truly capitalizes on them.

    "I really liked GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY. The characters work so well together. Gunn nails space opera. I'm excited for GUARDIANS 2 not for plot reasons but bc the heavy lifting of establishing everything is done and the characters can sing. Weird thing: while GUARDIANS has the most Thanos-**** yet it's the Marvel movie that stands most on its own. It feels whole." - Devin Faraci

    What? Thanos-****?

    I would imagine he means there are many references to Thanos in the film, building him up for the audience, without actually doing anything with him. Nebula probably reports to him, Drax probably talks about why he wants him dead, etc but I doubt he really steps out of the shadows and onto centre stage for this film.

    So two years down the road, Marvel don't realize people immediately start googling "who was the purple dude in the Avengers?"

    Old school space opera. That's what I'm looking for. It's only been done right a meager handful of times in the history of motion pictures.

    The stuff some folks have posted here has taught me to not to take anything for granted, no matter how crazy it might be. Anything is truly possible.

    James Cameron and Disney - these are the only entities that have ever released a $1 billion movie that wasn't a franchise/sequel. If Guardians is an above-average movie, I'd give it a decent shot at a billion worldwide. It is getting the Disney/Marvel global marketing juggernaut treatment. It already looks infinitely more appealing than John Carter. It may get some of the Marvel Avengers halo effect.

    Or it could make Tom Cruise Edge of Tomorrow money. Hard to say.

    I don't think I've clicked on a GotG vid or link in at least a month, and I am proud of that.

    I'm very, very excited. Sounds like this will continue the pattern of excellence in Phase 2.

    Plus, Rocket.
