Guardians of the Galaxy Trailer

FACT! It's funny because after looking through the comments of a few of the big comics sites and even Youtube, Comic Vine seems to be the most negative

That's weird. I mean we're mostly the people who read comics... we should be more aware of how the GotG are actually marvel's best and coolest franchise then other posters like youtube posters.

Well this is for all the haters

As if marvel studios hasn't filled that one too with cheesy one-liners and terrible jokes...c'mon! The first CA:WS trailer was a cringefest! I'm not against jokes...but they should tone it down a bit on the comedy...

@cameron83: cause their stupid. there is an innate silliness to the characters and instead of going the opposite direction and be serious to offset that its embracing its silliness and giving it some thought i get why. if you laugh and joke at yourself when orders do it you're laugh with them not at them. total fail on marvel's part. will watch it as a fan but im officially no longer looking forward to the film. if a better trailer comes out i can always change my mind but for now disappointed

It seems that ever since Tim Burton's Batman, the first thought comic readers have about every CBM is "they're going to completely f&*%k this up".

I stayed away from this film entirely until this trailer. Now I'm pumped it was awesome

Looks awesome Cap is around the corner then we get this for desert, loving every bit of it.

Oh man... What about the Annihilation storyline ? And where's my Amy Pond ???

@perfect_10: Actually, I completely disagree. Even considering Rocket, Groot,etc the Gotg are not some sort of campy tag along team.

For example, just look at their older series.

And there's nothing wrong with comedy,and I can't say what the main focus of this film is going to be based on this trailer,but it does have some cool parts to it. There can be an "innate silliness" to all characters,not just comic book ones,correct?

I mean,it doesn't need to be dark and stoic, but I hope it's just more than a corny mockery the entire time.

I have hopes for this movie, though

@perfect_10: That doesn't make sense, are you saying you don't want characters close to the source material but instead closer to how YOU would prefer them?

She's in the trailer

@cameron83: you are speaking as a fan, and even though i am a fan i was speaking for those who are not fans of the book. somethings you got to put your fan love aside and look at things objectively which is what i did. guardians is a tough sale plain and simple talk to some none comic reading people who have seen this trailer

Serious movie about a talking Raccoon IN a talking Tree... You guys are hilarious. This HAS to be campy for it to be taken seriously (I know that's hard to grasp).

@jonny_anonymous: didnt say that at all so dont know what you are talking about. i never said anything about changing characters from the comic to the movie even though that is what marvel has done so take that up with them not me

The Youtube comments seem to be more positive about this film than the ones on here

@allstarsuperman: I reeaaally liked this. I think it's looking good, I see people complaining about humour, but honestly, there's a talking raccoon, I'm not going into this expecting Nolan level grit.

In terms of excitement for this years films it's:

Captain America:TWS = X-men: DOFP>>GOTG>>> TASM2

I'm not a big fan of them, so I'm not super excited, but based solely on the material being released I'm pumped for this movie.

Wow, after reading through these comments kind of makes me not want to visit comic vine. Some seriously negative people out there almost to the point of trolling. GotG isn't even something that should have been made from a company stand point and here's a trailer for it you guys need to lighten up.

@jonny_anonymous: well we'll see if that translates into ticket sales

No they haven't, GotG have always had that weird quirky humor, I mean the DnA run had a running video commentary throughout the whole series for god sake.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA that was a huge letdown

I'm excited as heck for this movie!!

Chris Pratt really beefed up!

When I first watched it, I admit I was like "WTF?! What is this?" However, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that the GotG's humor is just like this! They cannot take themselves seriously for too long, I mean they have a talking raccoon on their team for pete's sake. The lightheartedness of Avengers made me love that movie, I feel they are trying to duplicate that in the best way possible!

So all those who wanted a dark and brooding team, watch one of the Nolan movies or wait for Justice League. Marvel, like their comics, are going towards classic comic book lightheartedness! I don't know about all you guys but...

I'm pretty amped for this movie. The comedy seems in line with the current series.

Thing that makes me laugh though is that The same people who rip a comic movie for adding campy humor and making it more market and kid friendly are the same people who praise a comic movie for adding dark and gritty one tone characters who kill probably when they shouldn't.

Either way I am pretty excited for this and it will be a good bookend to the marvel summer that starts with Cap.

Bingo!

Also I think it is definitely satirical. Not toward society at large a la Robocop, but definitely toward superhero tropes. I'm pretty sure that's the whole point of the movie, to send up the superhero genre (as well as James Gunn's strength as a storyteller) I get the sense through Quill's use of a superhero name for himself and his team which no one really respects, remembers, or cares about.

James Gunn the director said this was going to be a space comedy so to those who are wondering why it looks to be funny, deal with it ^^. I'm definitely excited for this!

Well that's not really unique to this film, that's how the GotG are/were in the comics.

The trailer was cool, but why did they choose that song??

@allstarsuperman: true that bro true that

@the_average_bear: Because it's so awesome! BOOKA-BOOKA-BOOKA, SHAKA! Lol

Like Joker says, "why so serious?" come on guys let not find something to hate on. We gotta live a little and have a laugh.

This is NOT what I was expecting. But I'm NOT disappointed at all! Although, it might have been too much comedy for some (or most for that matter) I enjoyed it. I suspect Marvel will release another trailer shortly from a more serious angle (at least I hope so anyway.)

I LOVED this Trailer lol

I dont really recall that being the case in the Abnett/Lanning series. They seemed like a regular superhero adventure group.

As a DC fan i must say this looks like meh... Now as a normal person saying the truth this looks FU&%$@G ASWOME HUGA CHAKA!!!

This is going to be the best super hero movie ever, because it stars the BEST characters ever.

That gif was funnier than the joke that followed in the trailer....

I figured from the start that this would be closer to a comedy, just to set it apart from the other movies. But I still feel a little underwhelmed by this trailer. Maybe it's because its purpose is more to introduce the characters and all the good stuff will be in the second trailer. They also clearly haven't gotten Cooper or Diesel into the recording studio yet. Obviously I'm still onboard, but I think they might still have an upward hill to climb.

@mxyzptlk_cv: did we see the same trailer? the winter solider had one joke at the beginning then it went deathly serious.

Did you read the Annihilation issues when the group was formed? Star Lord was a laughing stock who the Kree forced to form a group out of prisoners

Was on the fence. Saw this trailer. Suddenly so very psyched. This says it all:

Agreed, and that' WITHOUT imagining Bradley Coopers voice coming out.

I did, but I don't remember it being used as satire, I remember as just a bullied underdog.

This looks like it'll be a really fun movie. Feels almost like a Firefly vibe to me. I've gotta go back and check out the comics.

Just read the first trade, it was very good. I am glad the movie is funny but the trailer could have used a little more action in order to entice a larger public. Still super excited.

I'm happy Chris Pratt is just being Andy, I can't view him as any other character anyway...

besides drax looking awesome, that looked like complete and total crap. so effin disappointed. I was going to give these guys a chance then we get an aweful trailer.

@allstarsuperman: I completely agree with you that it has the potential to be the greatest Marvel movie. If they do this right, it will surpass Iron Man 1 and Avengers.

Seeing as it's based on DnA's run, I really hope they don't use that really stupid 'BLAM! Murdered you!' quote from Bendis' quite bad run. Apart from that, I'm really looking forward to it.

Looks Dope.

@jonny_anonymous: thank you Sir! I can't wait to this drops.

Yea it did, not as much as the other films, but it did.

I'm sorry if this falls into the 'hater' group as it's not meant to but...I'm not wholly impressed with this trailer. Yeah it looks like it'll be a laugh and it's certainly an ambitious project to be sure and the trailer did justify that. But I'm not totally into the film like I have been with The Winter Soldier trailers. Maybe it's because I'm not used to GOTG type humour or that I'm not a GOTG fan but the trailer didn't do it for me really. I wasn't drawn into the characters nor the story nor hyped for the final product. Still, trailers are meaningless at the end of the day so I'll wait for more footage before truly judging this film.
