@the_stegman: I'm pretty sure they're combating Ronan in this first entry after Starlord stole something from him.

According to the official character synopsis, Ronan in this film is a Kree warrior, religious extremist, and leader of the Kree army who is at war with the Nova Corps planet. He makes a deal with Thanos that if he brings him the object that Starlord stole from Korath (The infinity stone) than Thanos will grant him the power to end his war and wipe out the Nova Corps once and for all.

Loved it. Will see this in theaters.

This still doesn't do it for me...it just doesn't make me think "epic' at all, maybe if they would drop Hooked on a Feeling and use an actual score.

I don't think they're going for epic rather than for exciting space adventure.

Eh, still, it takes away from all of the gravity (no pun intended) of the situation having jokes on top of cheesy music, I mean, who are they even fighting?? What's the threat? Regardless, guess I'll just have to wait and see, could be great. But so far, it's my least anticipated Marvel flick.

Its a movie with a Machine Gun wielding Raccoon and a Talking Tree as main characters, there's no way in hell it'd have any chance at success if they played it straight.

@the_stegman: The movie has a 80s rock inspired soundtrack, and is supposed to be a fun sci fi flick rather than a hardcore serious one, so "epic" isn't what they are going for.

Is being British or Australian or whatever THAT important to the character or would he still be the same trash talking hardcore angry little creature without it? Rocket's nationality or whatever you'd call it in the case of a fictional space raccoon doesn't define who he is. So really, what difference does it make (outside of fan-service) if he's English or American?

Well yea it is kinda important. His creator intended him to be British and his name is a reference to a Beatles song. Do you think people would be upset if Iron Man was Irish?

What difference does it make what kind of accent a Raccoon is supposed to have? At the end of the day it's still a space raccoon. Which don't exist. I'm pretty sure all the space raccoons in the world aren't going to protest or raise a stink because their race is being unfairly represented. Heh

That's different, Iron Man being an American is crucial to his character. Plus, the big difference is that he's a human and humans are a very diverse species. Changing a human's nationality, means changing a lot of who he is. Debating the nationality of a human is different than debating the nationality of an animal. A Raccoon at the end of the day is still a Raccoon. Rocket can still be the same character despite his accent.

His nationality doesn't define him because he's a flarking Raccoon.

@jonny_anonymous: Well, they're likely wouldn't be as many comments about his drinking.

Oooooooh, s***, that's gonna get some nasty replies!

Actually, I looked it up and the name Stark is derived from Scotch-English, which is practically a short boat ride from being Irish anyway.

But yeah, back to the point at hand, this trailer is crazy. The fact that Knowhere is in this movie is confirmation that the Celestials exist in this universe. THE GO**AMN CELESTIALS! Really think about the scope that implies.

Not sold on the obligatory Quill/Gamora romance, though. I mean if there are two people with WAAAAAY better things to do, it's them.

But overall, yeah, pretty stoked for this movie.

And yet it still takes away from the British representation, if an alien racoon is all we can get then we're taking it. You might be ok with the Americanization of every character but I am not.

It's completely in both there characters to get it on. Nova and Gamora were doing the same thing during the Annihilation War.

Nah, not really.

But I'm not a stickler for details. I just care about the overall picture. If Captain America's looks, character, and personality being represented 100% means having a Jersey accent.....than yeah, I can handle that.

Even though once again, it's different because Captain America is a human and humans are a diverse species. Raccoon's aren't. Captain America is who he is because he's a patriotic American, Rocket is who he is because he's an angry, spitful, Raccoon....and oh look at that, he's a angry, spitful, raccoon.

Well, now you're just putting words into my mouth that I didn't say.

I'm not saying that Americanizing Rocket Raccoon is better than having him be British, I'm saying that at the end of the day. It doesn't really matter. Because being British isn't what the character is about. If being British was a defining character trait, than I would be angry that British "characters" weren't getting fairly represented. If Captain Britain was announced to be played by Matthew McConaughey, than I'd be angry.

But whether or not the space Raccoon is or is not British doesn't matter. Being an angry sarcastic raccoon is what the character is all about. Everything else it just petty details or nit-picking.

Does it fricking matter if he isn't speaking British...my god get over it and they are fighting Ronan obviously. He makes a deal with thanos,thanos gets the gem and Ronan gets to see all of nova world people killed its a religion thing for his kind(this is not a spoiler bc it was already talked about)

If it's so defining, than how is it that so far all of his incarnations for various media (specially those horrible TV shows like Ultimate Spider-man and Avenger's Assemble) are exactly the same in terms of character attitudes and personality as his other appearances in media (MVC3, Lego Marvel Heroes).

There's no difference between the two other than his accent. He's still the same character.

But at this point, shall we just agree to disagree and continue on with our lives?

Anyone else think that last line was a joke about how this movie is unbelievably risky and people were saying it was a bad idea that wouldn't work on film and now everyone is hyped as frack for the movie?

My only gripe is Rockets voice actor. Not for stupid unbelievably nitpick reasons that it's not the accent that he was made to have even though that is not a key essential element to the character it adds absolutly nothing to the character and making any sort of deal over it is being a nitpicky comic book purist i'm sorry but that's being a purist. The problem with the voice is for one thing it doesn't sound like a smarta** but also the voice is so inconsistant it sounds different in all three lines of dialogue he has.

It just dawned on me. They played Spirit in the Sky because giant floating space god head=spirit in the sky.

If there get a Cosmo and a Rich Rider cameo, this will be the perfect movie.
