I picked up the first couple trades based solely on memories of Rocket from my childhood. I'm not sure he's surly, but he's more roguish and not the kinda Flash Gordon character he was on Half World.
I was never up to speed on Marvel's space characters really. Except Quasar and Nova for a little bit.
I honestly never heard of Star Lord before, but he's apparently been around since the 70's.
Drax in the 90's was basically flying invulnerable space idiot. Like a Hulk that never changes. Gamora was basically "Mrs. Adam Warlock" who sometimes kicked someone. I remember she was supposedly the deadliest woman in the galaxy, but I don't remember a single thing she did.
Your Beat 'em Ups! Give them to me! My daughter and I have played the hell out of X-Men on my PS3. I'm bored! She's not, she could blow up sentinels with Storm all day long. Are there other button-mashers out there that: -Have a playable female character (so Ninja Turtles are out) -Available on PS3 -Multiplayer I'm aware Dungeons & Dragons: Shadows of Mystara comes out in June. Can't wait. But until then, I need something new since I can't listen to "Nothing stops the Blob!" again.
Rating the Marvel villains so far on a scale from Excelsior (good), to No-Prize (could be explained that they’re either good or bad), to Bullpen Floor (bad): Iron Monger: Excelsior Abomination: No-Prize Loki: Excelsior Red Skull: Excelsior Whiplash: Bullpen Floor Justin Hammer: Excelsior Loki again: Excelsior Mandarin: Excelsior Dark Elf what’s-his-name: Bullpen floor Hydra Conspiracy: Excelsior Ronan: Bullpen Floor Nebula: Excelsior Ultron: No-Prize Did I miss anyone?
he's got to be your fav Marvel character. gonna steal the show in the Guardians movie.
ReplyDeleteI'm having a Rocket Raccoon moment that's for sure. I'm guessing he'll be very popular with the movie crowd.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big Rocket fan from way back, but I'm not super familiar with his renaissance. He seems very surly in the new trailer. Why so surly, Rocket?
ReplyDeleteI'm also not familiar with Star-Lord at all, and the last time I saw Gamora or Drax was back in the "Infinity watch" days.
So I'm really not sure where the characters are at, in their currentish books.
