@Story

Some heroes like Iron Man didn't have as much popularity before the movies either.

I'm actually not that sure about the Guardians trailer. IT looks like it's aiming for a comedy thing, but I'm just not that taken in. I'm sure it'll be good, but I'll wait to see more trailers and get a read on what it's about before I make any more decisions, I guess.

As it stands it feels more like a particularly creative Sci Fi movie than a superhero movie. Reminded me a bit of John Carter.

At least Iron Man has a long history. I had heard of him before the movie came out.

Also, TTP is way too addictive. I can't seem to get anything done.

Damn shame it's never getting a sequel, it had a lot of potential and was pretty much what the series fans were hoping for. The sequel books had aeven more fun villains and gadgets and sword fights. Still, it was great for what it was.

Wasn't John Carter basically killed by poor marketing?

Yeah, Iron Man might not have been as well known as Batman or Superman, but I knew that he existed.

Apparently Guardians of the Galaxy was created in 2008. I think that explains it. Iron Man debuted in 1963. The Hulk appeared in 1962. Captain America dates back to the 40s.

Well, at this point Marvel is trying to branch out, and if it wants to set up some of its other stories they need this to work.

So yeah, it's a risk, but one that they seem to be willing to take. The comic is supposed to be a little goofy anyway.

[up]The most recent version of the Guardians (which is what they're using in the movie) maybe. It goes back longer than that.

I know they need to branch out, I'm just surprised they're taking such a big risk.

Eh. Any non-norm comic is going to be a pretty big risk anyways.

For that matter, pretty much everything Marvel has done in the past half-decade has been a pretty significant risk. The Avengers movie was a pretty wild idea, when you look at it objectively. A movie combining plot strings from four or five completely independent movies? If any one of the movies leading into the Avengers had tanked, the project as a whole could have suffered pretty significantly.

Yeah, DC's repeated and futile attempts to get a Justice League movie shows how easily the Avengers could have flopped.

[up]I would totally love to play as Rouge and Rarity's team, just because of how similar yet very different the interactions of those two would be.evil grin

And since we're on the topic of Comic Book movies: Does anyone here hate how DC is basically trying to copy the Marvel Cinematic Universe at this point? If it was done with tact like the MCU, I'd be okay with it, but instead they're just shoehorning Batman, Wonder Women and The Flash {The last one is a rumor, but still} into the Man Of Steel sequel, and it's clear that unlike the people behind the MCU they don't really care about the characters or anything, they just want to cash in on the whole thing. Not to mention they cast the Zombieland guy as Lex Luthor, which has to be the dumbest casting choice I've ever seen. What's next, are they gonna cast Michael Cera as The Joker or some crap?[tdown]

@marston

I personally just laugh at it and rub it in the faces of DC fanboys I'm surrounded by in the Russian corner of the internet. When I'm not reminding them that Christian Bale sucked, that is.
