I agree that Gamora feels a bit tame compared to her comic book depiction. I was expecting her to be more hard edged. I was originally upset that Drax's storyline was altered, but to be honest they managed to make Drax entertaining so I forgave them pretty quick. I also like this Drax better than the cardboard stand in they have in BMB's run. I don't think they know what to do with him there.

: Well seen the film today at Imax and it was
: superb. Great story - okay not too Marvel
: Cosmic hardcore but as a means to introduce
: the masses to the concepts it works more
: than well but with enough pleasing hints to
: key concepts like the Infinity Gems (loved
: the Celestial cameo), Knowhere (spot on) and
: as for Xandar; well it was nice to see the
: Nova Crista/Nova Corps HQ on screen next to
: the Millinium bridge! The characters were
: done well too; I can live with the
: re-imagining of Quill's origin - nice
: emotion touch at the start with his mom
: dying and the later mention of Quill's
: estranged father. Drax came across well too
: - even though its a bit annoying he's a
: alien now than Arthur Douglas but can live
: with that. Gamora needed to be a bit more
: dangerous but yes as predicted Rocket and
: Groot stole the audience hearts. As for the
: Nova Corps; okay a disappointment they don't
: have powers and abilities; missed
: opportunity but now that they have the power
: gem; the potential is there is that
: particular plot device is allowed to bloom.
: I don't agree that GOTG should be a
: "serious" film; the humor and
: especially the choice of 70's song tracks
: scattered throughout with the pathos moments
: made it a coherent enjoyable 2 hours. In the
: end a film like this needs to be enjoyed and
: accepted by the masses; as well as the niche
: Marvel Cosmic fan and a middle point would
: need to be met in order for it to achieve
: that goal; to that end it succeeded.
: Felt Thanos was too brief and out of the
: vilians Nebula was more kick ass than Ronan.
: A good start.

: Yeah, I know right. It seems like every time
: an Infinity Stone is revealed, they say it's
: the Power Stone.
:
: When the Cosmic Cube was first mentioned to
: be a Stone they said, Power Stone. When the
: Aether was revealed they said, Power Stone.
: Now the Orb is the "Power Stone."
: It's getting out of control.
:
: No matter what Feige or any writer or
: director says, I guess we won't know
: officially, until it's labeled in the
: movies.
:
: By then, I hope they'll be a Nova solo
: film!!

: True. I was thinking the stone was the Soul
: stone. It certainly behaved like it. I
: thought the stone from Thor 2 was power.
: I'm pretty confused in this respect

: Anyone notice that there weren't any
: Centurions in the movie. Only the Nova
: Prime, Denarian, Millennian, and Corpsmen
: were seen in the film.
:
: Dey and Saal were rank of Denarian. I wonder
: if we'll see Dey's further progression
: throughout the Guardians movie franchise
: until ultimately a Nova solo film come 2019
: for Phase 4!
:
: If the Orb is the Power Stone like they say,
: I hate the fact that Saal is dead. A good
: thing they didn't mention his first name
: bcuz then they can say he was Garthan's
: brother.
:
: However I do think the Orb is the Soul
: Stone. If so, him like many others could be
: trapped within it. Saal being released can
: lead to him going crazy thus becoming
: Supernova.
:
: On another note, I loved seeing the use of
: the Gravimetric fields. Hell, what's
: stopping the Nova Corps from using the Orb
: to generate/create the Nova Force we know
: and love in the comics?

: If they do a Rich movie or even a Sam movie
: how will that work. The Nova corp seems
: like a pretty grounded force
: technologically. I mean the planet was being
: invaded, and there were no nova force fueled
: supermen flying to it's aid. Just corpsmen
: and women in those fighters. They all
: carried guns.
:
: If they had rocket boosting, gravimetric
: beam shooting Centurions then you'd think
: they would be leading the charge against
: Ronin. I can't imagine a Nova movie (Sam or
: Rich) without at least that Rocket Boosted
: flight power.
:
: Also no mention of the Worldmind. Though
: they didn't talk about the Supreme
: Intelligence either so I guess those could
: always come up later.

: I really didnt mind the portrayal of the
: Novas
: in the end. If you think about it they may
: never have had the time to spare if they
: made them a focal point. However I feel they
: have much to be touched upon for a sequel to
: Guardians or pethaps spin-off.

: Okay Nova fans -now that Guardians is out
: and
: there's pretty much a plethora of views and
: spoilers out there regarding it - feel free
: to air your views about the film - esp
: regarding the Nova Corps! Enjoy. Daz
