For full context: Guardians was not a popular comic. It was cancelled three times. Not in the same stratosphere as X-Men, FF, Avengers, or even Alpha Flight. He took at most a C-List team and made them popular.

Also dont forget in the 90's to avoid chapter 11 bankruptcy Marvel sold the film rights to Spidey, X-Men, FF etc. Guardians was very obscure and was seen as digging in their trash bin to see what they could possibly spin into gold.

@@kntgaf I took your advice. I felt bad for him, talking about his reaction after the Disney firing, and honestly a little glad that I personally never was too interested in show business when he brought up how most people there are doing it to feel loved. It made me realize I’ve never not felt loved by my friends and family-not that I don’t have any problems of course, we all do, just that that was never really one of them. As a comics fan, I agreed with everything he talked about with their upcoming projects, which is encouraging since I’ve been nervous about the “outcasts and antiheroes” guy writing/directing an aspirational character like Superman. I liked what he said about the behind-the-scenes people being as important as the actors, and as a studio head I understand he’s probably contractually required to be only positive about their current releases, even though he didn’t have too much influence on their creation. But him casually calling The Flash “one of the greatest movies ever made” when talking about their cinematographer is still VERY concerning. After this past weekend’s 73% drop, “one of the biggest box office bombs” is more accurate.

I love when successful people acknowledge the expertise and efforts of those working below them. The gratitude and respect for others are what sets them apart. And when they drop names, mad props.

Oh, man... a Hulk movie made by James Gunn? I want that!

"Slither" is an underrated movie.

Marvel also did it with the Russo Brothers and Waititi. No huge hits but they hired them on. Just great talent acquisition on their part.

I love all 3 Guardian films, even though as a 90s Marvel comic collector I didn't own a single one. I knew most of the characters but didn't love them or go out of my way to get comics with them, but Guardians 1 was fantastic, loved the 2nd and the 3rd was a great bookend on the trilogy. Doubt you'll see this James, but thank you!

My introduction to James was his film Super, still an amazing film. So much fun.

I read a lot of comics during the 90's. The Guardians of the Galaxy were very different back then. They were a spandex superhero team from the future who had their own spaceship. I loved it. The modern version is great but I miss the campy superhero GotG that I grew up with.

How would a James Gunn Hulk movie even be? Sounds Scary as hell? Is it too late, because that definitely grabs my attention.

I’m so lost on the disconnect. Part of me feels like Flash had a different edit that the insiders got to watch and the theater stuff was something else. Gunn, Tom Cruise, Steven Spielberg all vouch that this one of the greatest films. And it’s getting slaughtered online by the critics. I enjoyed the film, but I secretly always think there’s a cut of the film that the insiders have and then there’s what the masses watch.
