I don't know about that, I don't think anyone expected GotG to be any good at all really.

How are you gonna get fired on your day off?

I completely disagree. I'm not sure on what your basing your comments from other than your local connections, but once the trailer came out I think it caused quite a stir. Sort of like "Ghostbusters" when it premiered.

Offbeat doesn't equal suck.

I think he means before the trailer. There were plenty of questions about whether it would be successful or too much to introduce to the established Marvel world, from what I remember.

After the trailer, though, yeah, everyone was all in because it looked good.

Can't judge the movies mentioned until we see it in action.

Here's what they said in the movie.

Spoiler

His job said that they had Craig on some security camera stealing boxes. Fired him on the spot. They'd have to show him proof of that to me, before they could do that.

Yeah absolutely. Just like now I was skeptical of Asgard and Thor being introduced into the 'plausible' world of Iron Man, I thought Guardians was going to be damn near impossible to really pull off. I have the same skepticism for Doctor Strange and evolving from the 'its such high technology it's like magic to you' approach they took with Asgard.

They have yet to disappoint.

Watching both Hunger Games movies with coworkers today in a conference room (um, doing some work too!) in preperation for a 'date afternoon' wife wifey tomorrow.

Sadly, I was as disappointed with Thor as I thought I'd be. Asgard has no business being in that world IMO, and I haven't liked either film. I didn't even like Loki until after The Avengers, and I think that's only because I started to appreciate the actor (Hiddleston) in anything other than his films.

I enjoyed GotG, but it served its purpose as a summer popcorn flick, and I really have no more use for it.
