Guardians of the Galaxy Guardians of the Galaxy: General Discussion & Speculation Thread - Part 2

[OB12]

Yeah, I don't really get the Saldana/Rosario comp. They don't seem that much alike at all really.

 

[craigdbfan]

They're nothing alike both in terms of look and performances. Not in the slightest.

 

[Doc Ock]

Why? He's a second Thor with a horse face who has a hammer of his own, and takes away from Thor's individuality, imo.

And his name is stupid. Beta Ray Bill? C'mon... I mean, I'd be okay if that name belonged to a space cowboy or something, but it doesn't fit him.

I used to think he was a odd character when I first heard about him I honestly said "that's ******ed" but since then I have come to love Beta Ray. Thor wouldn't be the only one who could use Mjolnir forever, Beta Ray is a very cosmic character that is quite different than Thor.

What the hell?

Yeah...

 

[elsewhere]

Zoe Saldana. Queen of Sci-Fi.

She wasn't really on my radar because of her involvement with Star Trek and Avatar.

But I'll trust they made the right choice.

Exactly what I was thinking.

 

[T"Challa]

What the hell?

lol..i was about to say the same thing. wtf

I like Thor being the only one to use Mjolnir on a daily basis. If someone like Cap is worthy enough to lift it, that's fine, but I'd rather the MCU keeps Thor as the only one with that type of hammer.

Beta Ray Bill is the man. He is Simonson's creation. Thus he is the awesome.

If Walt Simonson created a bridge and told you to jump off of it, would you? WOULD YOU?!

1980s Walt Simonson? Yes, yes I would. It would probably lead to a land full of awesome.

I just think that Beta Ray Bill's character could be used in a way to help connect the "9 realms" with "Space" from Guardians of the Galaxy. I don't think he needs to become another Thor, but an appearance of him in his original form would be a nice nod to fans. Also, lets say down the road the Thor movies start to get a little stale they could always bring him back to gain the hammers powers and do that story justice. I don't dislike Bill's character, but I do think we need a lot more Thor before we have 2 Thor type characters on screen.

I hope the Zoe Saldana being cast in GOTG is just a rumor i mean i love the actress she did a amazing job in Star Trek and Avatar but I prefer that she play Storm in the X-men movies if Fox ever decides to reboot the film or play a younger storm in the XMFC story line

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Zoe as Storm is an idea that I am not fond of.

You bring up good points, and I agree.

 

[Xeno]

I must be the only one that doesn't like Beta Ray Bill. I say leave him out of the movies.

I hate Beta Ray Bill. If he shows up, I hope it's as a corpse floating in space.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

That would be some of the funniest s**t I've seen in a while. There's your Beta Ray Bull cameo, people!

 

[Xeno]

Love that gif. It properly expresses my feelings about the rotted horse's head known as Beta Ray Bill, a pointless character with a stupid name.

 

[Moridin]

Two thumbs up from me on Saldana joining.

You betta' preach.

 

[Christopher_M]

totally on board for Zoe as Gamora!

[ThePowerCosmic]

She looks pissed in that gif. Imagine her looking at Thanos on his throne like that.

something like that?

something like that?

Yep! You got it.

 

[flickchick85]

Just heard about Saldana. Unlike the last bit of casting news, I have no problem approving of this one.
