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.
Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/

Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)
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.
