History WesternAnimation / GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2015

** The Klyntar here are presented as a normally peaceful race who live in harmony with their host, with the more traditional depiction of the symbiotes being the result of Thanos experimenting on them to create a living weapon.

** Because the series had been written prior to ''Vol 2'', it is established that J’son of Spartax is Peter’s father (as per the comics) and not Ego the Living Planet.

* CanonDiscontinuity: This show's depiction of Franchise/SpiderMan being more akin to ''WEsternAnimation/MarvelsSpiderMan'' suggests that ''[[WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012 Ultimate Spider-Man]]'' is no longer canon--despite ''Ultimate'' being the first show in this universe and hence starting it in the first place.

''Guardians of the Galaxy'' is an animated series created for ''[[WesternAnimation/MarvelUniverseDisneyXD Marvel]] on Creator/DisneyXD''. Described as a loose sequel to [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014 the film]], but set in the same Main/SharedUniverse as its [[WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012 Ultimate Spider-Man]] fellow [[WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble animated]] [[WesternAnimation/HulkAndTheAgentsOfSMASH series]], before being Retconned to share continuity with ''WesternAnimation/MarvelsSpiderman'' and the last season of ''Avengers: Black Panthers Quest'', the show follows ComicBook/StarLord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket Raccoon, and Groot as they fight the forces of Thanos.

** Meanwhile, the Collector is portrayed much like his movie self, and proves himself to be a villain, unlike his more comic-based near-god-tier ''Agents of SMASH'' portrayal, who had made a HeelFaceTurn by then. Similiarly, the Grandmaster is an alien who runs a DeadlyGames arena instead of being like ''his'' cosmic-grade self as seen in ''Ultimate Spider-Man.'' In fact, ''even as the Contest of Champions arc was going on in USM with the cosmic Grandmaster versus the reformed Collector,'' their very different ''Guardians'' incarnations were being encountered by this team for the first time - it all aired on the same weekend. Sure enough, the only thing retained from ''Ultimate Spider-Man'', is that Grandmaster and the Collector are brothers with a SiblingRivalry. His villainy can only be plausible if this took place before USM, which is believed to be the case.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: In "I've Been Searching So Long", Thanos strangles Ronan, sends him flying towards a mountain, and takes the Universal Weapon. Regardless, [[{{Jerkass}} Ronan]] [[SmugSnake very much]] [[TheSociopath deserved it]].

** In the same episode, Quill gets the idea to stymie the robots by teaching them the futility of [[Film/WarGames Tic-Tac-Toe]]. It doesn't work.
