It does seem that the MCU formula, and humor, has run its course. It all looks so dated now. Not hip and new. Just... been there, done that... for a long, long time. Dated, may be a better word.
Well there were a couple of things that caused an inevitable delay, such as Gunn getting temporarily fired and.....what was the other???? Hmmmmm..........oh yes, a worldwide pandemic lol.It's been 6 years since the last one. I was so looking forward to this... in like 2020.
I was thinking the same thing, as the color palette reminded me so much of GoTG2 and even Gunn's The Suicide Squad. But the trailer didn't really give away much in terms of the actual plot, so I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised.....while still bracing for the worst.It does seem that the MCU formula, and humor, has run its course.

I can't decide what's worse, Klawng or this goofy goober:
Here's your Philosophical 11/10 Space Jesus, bro!
Christ... Why do all of my favourites have to get screwed up? I'm not getting a good feeling for the FF and the X-Men...

Well, Vin Diesel does voice Groot so I guess that’s to be expected lol. Maybe this will end with Quill and Gamora on Earth, driving off into the sunset in a 1970 Dodge Charger.I would think if you're relying on plot to carry this movie, you will be disappointed.
It's always been about the camaraderie, sights and silly jokes with GOTG. Plot always seemed sketchy at best. Besides, you know it will be about... Family. Big shock. It's Gunn.
Gunn took the GotG from the hardened Post-Annihilation group of DNA to... Drax making scatological jokes. You couldn't pay me to watch them in theatres. Him ruining another two of my favourites, Warlock and the Evolutionary, by turning them into the Golden Goober and the Purple Cenobite, is yet another reason to skip it. I've said it before that the last MCU flick I watched in cinemas was Dr. Strange (and the last CBM in general was Logan), but if something's interesting enough I watch it on my PC. The 2023 slate leaves me cold in every way. This year's shows at least are "better" (in that I still somewhat care about the characters, not that I'm expecting them to be good), with Loki and Secret Invasion. And I suppose Ironheart will give me Zeke Stane and Mephisto. 2024 has Agatha, Echo and whatever other nonsense, but at least it's got DP3, so there's that. 2023's MCU flicks are just a non-entity for me, period. I'm more excited for Shang-Chi 2 than the Marvels. Jesus Christ, imagine wasting a slot on that nonsense when Strange still hasn't properly gotten a sequel (no, the WandaVision Sequel ft. Chavez doesn't count)...He's looking to get paid this time.
I'm leaning more in seeing the Flash than any Marvel related movie at this point. Gunn's cinematography has become a one-trick pony with the humor, father issues, and overused soundtrack.
Same here.This movie is probably my farewell to the MCU, just no interest other this than movie, haven't watched Wakanda Forever, Werewolf By Night and wont be watching Ant Man.
I probably won’t be watching any marvel film til we get the big guns again either. All this dragging their feet isn’t fun anymore. Everything is so lacklusterThis movie is probably my farewell to the MCU, just no interest other this than movie, haven't watched Wakanda Forever, Werewolf By Night and wont be watching Ant Man.
That's the MCU for you... God, I hate it.** Insert @ZE_501 's disdain for over designing here **
It looks more like they found a trashbag and then glued some random plastic bits all over it. Even the cape seems like a Halloween department "prop". I need a Warlock but I'm not buying this. I'm sticking to my rule of "only buy the last ever look of a character". That's when they do the comic accurate suit anyhow.Is that one of Thor or Loki's old costumes just spray-painted gold?
One of the many reasons I lost interest in the MCU immediately.....everything is so same-y looking.
Between him and Klawng, I don't know what to think anymore. The Quantumania Post-Credits scene leaked and all I can say is that it is an affront to acting... I think they're deliberately miscasting so badly to see how much they can get away with. Or they're morons. Either is likely.That actor playing him is one of the goofiest-looking guys working in Hollywood today. His face is just plain bizarre. Anytime I see him onscreen all I can think is "man....is this guy real or some kind of weird plastic/CGI mannequin that's started to melt?"
I'll be waiting for a version with long hair and another costume. That and the gold paint will obscure him enough. I need a single Warlock to stand next to my Thanos, I can't be buying the first thing that comes out. Plus, I need him to have his staff. I'd take either of his Infinity Watch looks:Good luck having a 12 inch doll of that guy on the shelf staring at you all day. Gives me the willies.
