History YMMV / GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2015

* QuestionableCasting: Creator/WillFriedle as Star-Lord has raised a lot of eyebrows, particularly since Friedle is using [[WesternAnimation/KimPossible Ron Stoppable's voice]] which many felt does not fit Star-Lord at all.

* BaseBreakingCharacter:
** Rocket, or at least his voice. Some find his voice in this show annoying while others are okay with it. Some are just bitter over the fact [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 it's still not a Cockney accent.]]
** Some find Will Friedle an unsuitable choice for Quill.

* MagnificentBastard: ComicBook/{{Loki}} is the suave and cunning God of Mischief, and the ArcVillain of the "[[Recap/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2015S1E18AsgardWarPart1LightninStrikes Asgard War]]" two-[[Recap/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2015S1E19AsgardWarPart2RescueMe parter]]. Amidst rising tensions between Asgard and Spartax, Loki manipulates the Guardians into exposing Emperor J'son for stealing the Cosmic Seed from Asgard years ago. In reality, Loki had stolen the Seed back from J'son, intending to start a war between Asgard and Spartax. When Thor goes to war, Loki hijacks the Destroyer Armor and tries to eliminate his brother which would leave him Asgard's wartime leader and sole heir to the throne. Although exposed by the Guardians, Loki "redeems" himself by aiding in stopping [[Characters/MarvelComicsThanos Thanos]] from invading Asgard. Later imprisoned for unknown crimes, Loki forms an EnemyMine with the Guardians when Asgard was invaded by [[Characters/VenomTheSymbiote Venom symbiotes]], only to later betray them and attempts to send the symbiotes to Midgard instead. Thwarted and captured, Loki uses a binding spell he had casted on Star-Lord earlier, influencing him to request Loki be pardoned once again. A smooth-talker and opportunist, Loki always weasels his way out of any situation, claiming to be [[WellIntentionedExtremist acting for what's best for Asgard]].

** Star Lord also has it pretty rough. As in the film, his mother died of a terminal illness when he was a young boy, but we get shown how his abduction might have panned out. He utterly freaks after seeing loads of alien species, particularly one that tries eating his face, and upon running around the ship very nearly gets himself ThrownOutTheAirlock by accident. Yondu then tries to reassure him only for the pirates to try and space him ''on purpose'' before trapping him in a shuttle and leaving him to die.

** The Mad Titan ComicBook/{{Thanos}} is a [[AdaptationalVillainy destruction-loving tyrant]] determined to [[GalacticConqueror conquer as much of the galaxy as possible]] and [[OmnicidalManiac annihilate the rest]]. A brutal warlord who has wiped out entire races, Thanos butchered Gamora's homeworld and enslaved her as one of his "children", performing horrible experiments on them all to make them his killing machines. In his quest for the Cosmic Seed in season 1, Thanos tries to annihilate a space station; tortures Peter Quill; and throws the lives of his own armies away in a mad scramble to use the Seed to terraform Earth and use it as a living weapon to conquer the galaxy. Having the Klyntar race and tortured many of its species into insanity, Thanos tries to spread the Klyntar across the galaxy to turn billions into Thanos's puppets, and later attempts to raze the surface of his homeworld of Titan when its inhabitants refuse to cow to him. Thanos's evil runs so deep that he laughs in glee when forced to relive his atrocities, and [[CardCarryingVillain proudly brags]] about his hand in the deaths of Drax and Groot's families.

** [[CainAndAbel The Serpent is Odin's brother]], an ancient [[GodOfEvil evil god]] who seeks ultimate dominion over Asgard and [[OmnicidalManiac the destruction of all else in the universe]]. Orchestrating the kidnapping of hundreds of people, plunging them into comas and replacing them with his robotic Darkhawks from a prison Odin trapped him in, Serpent tries to blow up Asgard out of spite before escaping and [[ForcedToWatch making Odin watch]] as he nearly kills Odin's son Thor. Serpent soon enough takes control of the World Tree, using it to spreads spores that drain the life out of anything they consume, with which Serpent hopes to consume the life force of every planet and species across the cosmos until he reigns supreme as the only thing left alive, using his own family as [[LivingBattery living batteries]] to power himself up.
