[![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTZ2Tp9yXyM) I feel like the awkward humor of Quill’s scenes must’ve been difficult to edit into trailer snippets, but I like what I see overall. What a bunch of A-holes. ---

I like it, and I have no familiarity with these characters at all. Makes me wonder why there haven’t been more comedic space adventure movies. ---

I’m not very familiar with the source material (_Guardians_ never jumped out at me during my comic book days), but it looks like it has potential. It’ll be refreshing to see Chris Pratt as someone other than Andy on _Parks & Rec_. ---

I think comedic is the safest way to go with talking raccoons and houseplants guarding the galaxy. Looks like it could be fun. Green Lantern looked fun too. ---

Loved the shoutout to _The Usual Suspects_ there. Also, love the mix of humour and sci-fi. I haven’t been this stoked since _Avengers_… ---

> [@MrDibble](#): > > Loved the shoutout to _The Usual Suspects_ there. Also, love the mix of humour and sci-fi. I haven’t been this stoked since _Avengers_… Indeed. I’ve been reading Marvel books for years but only really touched on GOTG now and again. But they look like they’ve got the tone spot on and are perfectly aware that most people have no idea who these people are. Rocket Raccoon, one area where it could have gone horribly wrong, looks awesome. I’m now going to go listen to “Hooked on a Feeling”. ---

The anthropomorphic raccoon is just pandering to suburbanites. ---

How do you deal with the fact of a talking raccoon? You don’t, you just make him all pissed off and run with it. That’s brilliant. “Sorry, I’m not sure how this machine works.” I coached my 13-year-old girl on that this morning. I’m hoping for a call from the principal’s office by lunchtime. ---

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stYrNaLWkPk](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stYrNaLWkPk) (Instead of “Reilly,” the correct response would have been “Really?”) I’m pretty familiar with the Marvel and DC universes but know absolutely nothing about GotG – I’m really, really excited for this movie. Marvel appears to have it going on all cylinders. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/guardians-of-the-galaxy-1st-trailer/681687.md?page=2)
