i love all the shots. this is very cosmic and sci fi. we got ships, aliens and a planet or two so far. not to mention a celestial head. the shot of knowhere shows a really colorful galaxy. so far, space has been very colorful in all the marvel studios movies. i hope to see more of this type of space. i am not too into the black and white space.
the cosmic stuff is my favorite comic stuff. i can't wait. to see this.

The Stamos comment is not meant to be taken literally. It was sarcastic. But again, how would he have known who John Stamos was to begin with?

Because he watched Full House? Course, probably should've referred to him as Uncle Jesse, but still.

You have a point. However people have been hearing about "Planet of the Apes" for 50 years, and Transformers for 30 years. Those movies are mainstream. For the GA, this movie is out there.

Exactly. That's why I said "familiar property". There's no built in fanbase with this property. Which is great. We want studios to venture out and do new things, not just relying on sequels and reboots. But when they do and don't get good returns, they tend to fall back on those same sequels and reboots.

So the villains are Ronan, Nebula Korath, and Thanos.

John Stamos was a young heartthrob in the early eighties. Perhaps Star Lord's Mom watched General Hospital?

Depends on when he was taken. Full House started in 1987 with decent ratings that only got better but it did give Stamos a lot of exposure that he didn't previously have. If Quill is taken around '88 or '89 then he would likely not only know who he is but being 10 might also totally buy into Jesse's "cool uncle" routine. And then, completely separated from pop culture, still believe it years later. I think it's meant to be taken completely literally.

James Gunn: “I actually have to clear everything with legal. We put in little things like graffiti on the walls and stuff like that. There’s a ton, a ton of characters from the comics in this movie, in little tiny roles. But we have to clear everything with legal because once I use their name then I’m screwed in that scene or whatever. We have just tons of reference to you know Marvel Cosmic throughout the movie. And I’m certain probably the most Marvel comics characters ever in one movie.”

You're just now figuring this out? I'm confused. We've known this for the longest time now.
