I haven't been this excited for a movie since...well, since the last time we had Bradley Cooper playing the role of a gun-toting Raccoon...

I wonder if they really make it tie into the Avengers universe.

Those of you whom don't know who these characters are, and how they came about, the best way to read about this is thumb through the Annihlation:Conquest storyline. The bigger players in this arch were mostly guys that were unearthed from the Marvel archives. What happened after this particular arch was that the marvel writers discovered that they had some really interesting characters to play with. So they rebooted the Guardians of Galaxy group (which the intricacies are kinda clever) and now you have another super group that are mostly a bunch of misfits.

The trailer doesn't look bad. It offers a few winks and nudges to the comic book fan base. The origin storyline is not bad, the GoG 2008-2010 arch is okay. Both can be had from the internet at the normal places.

spolgar is correct.

I am still so freaking giddy over the fact that Rocket Raccoon & Groot are teaming up with Andy Dwyer to fight the Nova Corps! :D

I have no idea what the plot is going to be. There are so many working parts in this that we see in that trailer...then we have other things out there like Thanos and the Infinity Gems.

All I know is that we are about to see a movie with Rocket Raccoon, Groot, the Nova Corps, Gamora and so many other things I never thought that we'd see on the silver screen! :D

GoG is the best Action Adventure Comedy of Marvel, hands down. Should be a good rumble.
