Well, not anymore she doesn't!

Pom a cute.
>>78443783
So we know that Mantis is confirmed, how about Adam Warlock or Quasar?
Good casting!
But now comes the problem of half the team being green people.
>>78443783
>del Toro
I thought you were talking about Guillermo for a second and was like "Wait what did he have to do with GotG? I think I would have remembered that"
>>78444088
Adam Warlock would be introduced in Avengers 3.1, more than likely, to help people understand his role in the infinity war. If anything they have him show up here just at the end as a tease or setup.
Now what I want to see is Gunn's weird interpretation of Starhawk. I think he is Starlord's dad in the MCU and would love to see a version of the original guardians all being a bunch of space rednecks.
>>78444108
>del toro back on justice league dark
I wish
>Bug never
Fucking Hasbro.
>>78444101
More than half of the Avengers was made up of white people and audiences weren't confused.

>Bendis hooks up Star-Lord and Kitty Pryde

>>78444101
Just give her that light, yellowish green like in your pic and it should be fine.
>>78444374
>Just give her that light, yellowish green like in your pic and it should be fine.
I dunno man, I've seen a bunch of BTS pics f the first one in James Gunn's twitter or snapchat and green is a hard as fuck color to get right for a skin color. Too blue and it looks like blue paint (as opposed to skin), and too yellow and it looks sickly.
>>78444374
>Marvel forces Bendis to break them up in favor of Star-Lord X Gamorra so they can get some movie synergy going
>>78444206
What's the whole deal with Bug?
I don't remember.
>>78444425
>>78444374
>Bendis forced to kill off his waifu
PLEASE JESUS
>>78444425
>James Gunn goes ahead and makes Quill x Mantis instead
Bendis then breaks up Gamora and Quill to go Quill + Mantis because he is a unoriginal weak willed pussy and always tries to mimic more competent story tellers these days.
>>78444206
>>78444479
Mantis and Bug are two different characters...
>>78444556
Yeah, obviously.
But there's some sort of copyright issue with Bug and he can't be in GotG, but I don't know specifics.
Which is why I was asking.
>>78444584

>mfw none of this will ever happen
>>78444644
I'm fine with no romantic plot. That's not what the first movie was about at all. I just want kurt russel playing redneck starhawk with a ridiculous curved wings and antennae. Everything else I quite trust in Gunn, he's a creative fella.
>>78444101
>problem
?
>>78444584
Bug was originally a member of the Micronauts, which was a licensed Marvel comic for Hasbro and as such, Marvel Studios doesn't have the rights to those characters, Hasbro does. It's presumably also why the shrinky dimension in Ant-Man was called the Quantum Realm, rather than the Microverse (which is where the Micronauts come from).
>>78444875
>the Quantum Realm, rather than the Microverse
Interesting, I always wondered why they called it that. Quantum Realm made me think there were others and they were tying it up with Dr. Strange.
I wonder how Ant-Man and Wasp is gonna turn out. With Peyton Reed always wanting to do a fantastic four movie, I wonder if they are gonna have a microverse adventure instead of a straight up action or heist movie. A search for Janet might be the most obvious framing device, and have the title serve double purpose like the winder soldier did. Heck, if they make Janet the red queen instead of Hope, that'd be pretty brilliant.
>>78444101
They could change the shade a little bit, I wouldn't be mad about it.
>>78444101
Mantis wasn't green skinned originally.
>>78444875
Hasbro has an exclusivity deal with Marvel to make most of their toys, I can't see why they can't work something out.
Hasbro's even relaunching Micronauts next year.
>>78444644
A man can dream anon...
>>78444479
Bug first appeared in Micronauts and Hasbro owned the rights to any character first appearing in a Hasbro licensed comic produced by Marvel
>>78445056
Maybe Gunn didn't really want the character do they didn't bother with negotiations in the first place. Now that the movie has shown potential, the hassle is bigger and so worth less to argue about for little story improvement. I'm fine with just a new guardian.
>>78444129
>original guardians all being a bunch of space rednecks.
this is perfect
>>78444875
Why doesn't Marvel buy the rights?
>>78445126
>Kurt Russel playing a slightly fat pseudo-space-plantation owner wearing pic related and living in a space-trailer.
It was probably the role McConaghey was offered and that he turned down. They are definitely going for redneck.
>>78443783
Is that pic of her as Mantis or some other thing?
>>78445126
>>78445302
But the Ravagers were already space rednecks.
tits
>>78445331
Hmm, you're right. What I really meant may have been general southern american stereotypes.
Basically all character tropes from My name is Earl, I'm not American so I might have my stereotypes mixed up.
>>78445227
>buy the rights?
They don't do that for their A lister, do you think they are going to bother with some Z llister?
>>78445581
Well, to be fair, an A-lister would be more expensive.
But they have no shortage of character's, and they seem to thrive on weirder characters that they don't feel pressured to have anyone's expectations to meet.
Actually, their worst movies were the ones they had in the bag (and the Thor ones, which are kind of the wild card to this rule).
>>78443783
>Pom Klementieff
and she's done nude scenes yay!
>>78444076
She is, but I don't know where to place her on the MCU Power Rankings. I had her behind Ming Na Wen, but now she's behind Elizabeth Olsen. She's got two face.
>>78443783
holy SHIT she's hot....
>>78446101
Ayup
>>78444101
never enough green people
>>78444984
>With Peyton Reed always wanting to do a fantastic four movie, I wonder if they are gonna have a microverse adventure
That's what I'm hoping for, some crazy adventure that feels like cosmic scale but is so tiny it's other worldly.
Ant Man and The Wasp: The Search for Janet
>>78443783
I doubt if he's intimidated.
I recall people asking him if working on a big budget film was more stressful than the small scale stuff he's done before and he was like "No way, there's so much money in this I can do whatever the hell I want."
So I'm fairly confident that he'll just go into the sequel with the same mindset and not worry himself with trying to one-up himself.
>>78446280
Yeah, if anything his other two movies feel more restrained and less wacky than GotG. If it was just the budget or producer control we'll never know, but he seems to be having a blast making these.
>>78443783
Dear god...
>>78443783
Lol: i just caught a glimpse of the thumbnail and I thought this was a thread about Morrigan from Dragon Age
>>78443783
Hope they recast Gamora.
>>78447702
fuck u too m8
>>78447702
There's nothing wrong with Saldana, fuccboi.
>>78445089
Please, Bendis would just find a way for Kitty to phase Mantis into herself. Kitty picks up mantis speech patterns and still remains Kitty but with antennae.
>>78444129
It would be cool an scene like the Watchmen's Minuteman
>>78446093
That seems like a reasonable place.
>>78445227
Because Hasbro won't sell them.
>>78444101
They're aliens mang. Just make her a slightly different shade and it'll be good.
>>78445052
Yeah, because she was human.
>>78443783
I really wonder how the comics are gonna have to change with the MCU becoming more like the DnA comics
>>78448487
I'm still not feeling any DnA vibes from this, but Bendis and Humphries have already lied and said they liked Annihilation. I know that's Giffen, but DnA wrote Nova's part.
There are rumors going around about Annihilation 2 coming soon
>>78447749
She wasnt exactly most dangerous woman in the galaxy, pretty tame performance overall.
>>78448592
Pratt reminded me of Star Lord at the end with the whole: You're asking us to die scene. And I assume the character would become more like the comic as time goes on
>>78443793
I'm getting Roosevelt vibes from her
>>78448732
>assassins should be hot heads
>>78447749
>>78450204
The "most dangerous woman in the galaxy", was whimpering and crying as inmates were banging on her cell saying they were going to kill her. She's supposed to be closer to red sonja than anything else.
>>78450298
The biggest flaw in the movie is that Gamora does not really have an arc.
She starts out nice and gets nicer.
>>78444875
Maybe Wanda meets Pym through Scott and Pym discovers via her powers a means to enter the Microverse more easily.
>>78444644
> Whedon rescued Scarlet Witch from Bendis faggotry.
> Whedon rescued Vision from Bendis faggotry.

Its wonderful.
now all we need is the uniforms and Phyla
>>78444206
>Fucking Hasbro.
See, this is stupid.
BUY HASBRO. How fucking hard is this you stupid shits?
Getting those rights opens up the treasure chest to Rom, Space Knight, Micronauts, the microverse, all this shit plays DIRECTLY into the MCU.
If you can't get the Skrull, the Dire Wraiths are a very worthy replacement.
But ehn, Paramount is trying to tap this vein and will inevitably fuck it sideways.
>>78450699
Errytime
>>78450519
Can't wait for Bendis to get Inhumans and it turns out Kitty was an Inhuman all along.
>>78450699
SL x Gamorra BTFO?
>>78451065
I certainly hope so. That was the worst part of the film
>>78451113
fuck you anon it was objectively the best part and it's the best ship.
>>78451195
>>78448732
>>78450298

>>78451371
Well you sure told me a thing or two.

I wonder the same for the Russo bros. Since they've primarily worked on TV projects

yesss, fuck you bendis

are you prepared for Gunn's autistic fapfiction to be splooged all over the silver screen, coming May 2017I'm fucking ready, Chris Pratt is hot as fuck and so is this chick

okay fine, that's his whole shtick

Get your shit together, Brian.
>>78456941
Bendis is too far gone to get his shit together at this point.
