IGN wasn't all that impressed sadly. I guess we will see soon.

IGN is criticizing this movie for the fact that they dont know if the general audience will understand it unlike the comic fans. Also you can tell they wanted a grim/dark approach even though they try to hide it.
kinda dumb critique but we will see soon enough.

Go for Thanos

yup

I personally can't wait for this.

As for the Stones...

Well, the Tesseract is supposed to be the Space Stone. Not sure which one the Aether is supposed to be. Considering what it was doing to earth, maybe the Reality one?

But the one featured in Guardians is going to be the Power Stone:

What is it about the soundtrack?

The choice of pop-rock just feels so out of place...

What would you prefer?

The Tesseract is the Space gem and the Aether is the Power gem.

I'm still on the fence about whether or not Loki's staff housed the Mind gem. It just doesn't seem logical for such a precious and infinitely powerful gem to be so casually used, and having to make contact to utilize it. If Loki had the actual Mind gem, he could mind rape every single being in the universe while taking a shit on the toilet.

Yeah, it'd be lame as shit if Tony's chest reactor > Mind Gem. 😆

Especially if you look at what the Aether and Tesseract were capable of.

I don't know much about GOTG...I juz feel that the choice of music seems to clash with the scenes...do you listen to the music or listen to the dialogue of the characters?

Watchmen had an odd choice of soundtrack too.

With Watchmen the soundtrack was supposed to be contrapuntal to a degree. As in the music playing kind of contrasts or contradicts the emotions being visually depicted.

Almost like showing Holocaust footage and using "What a Wonderful World", by Louis Armstrong, as a soundtrack.

Joss Whedon actually played a substantial role in the production of Guardians of the Galaxy! I'm super excited

According to James Gunn, the film's soundtrack is composed mainly of 1970s-80s songs as they are part of Quill's memories of Earth: "The music and is one of those touchstones that we have to remind us that Quill is a real person from planet Earth who's just like you and me, except that he's in this big outer space adventure."

So Quill's from the 80's?
Has he been transferred to the future?
Frozen in sleep?
What he's back story?

Uh... He is like 35 years old...no time travel needed.

Even if he was born in 1980 he'd only be 34. So yeah.

His age is irrelevant.
I'm just trying to figure out the timeline...if the music is based on Quill's memories then how far after the 80's is the film supposed to be set in?

Does it correspond with The Avengers timeline?

All of the Marvel movies have been happening around the same time except for the first Captain America. Everything else has been in current time and events have overlapped. So he was probably born in the early 80's, and is now in space in current time. Even Thanos and the Collector show up, both of whom made cameos in Avengers and Thor 2.
