I like how Marvel's taking their C-listers (and let's agree, they are C-listers) not too seriously. If they want to get into the Infinity Gauntlet story like they've hinted, they need to go cosmic. And when you have a homicidal raccoon, his walking tree-bro, the adopted daughter of Death's BFF and a dude who calls himself…. Star Lord… you need to go with comedy.
Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material. Instead you roll it out piecemeal as PCs bite the dust. “I really want to play a saurian warlock…sure, I’ll take a drink of that mystery potion.” Someone probably thought of this before.
Hey, I'm using Jeff and Brendan's 20 questions to help me get a feel for my upcoming Perdition campaign. Never done it before. Highly recommended. http://jrients.blogspot.com/2011/04/twenty-quick-questions-for-your.html http://www.necropraxis.com/2012/02/24/20-quick-questions-rules/
Based on what we've seen of the two movies, it looks like 2014 is the year Rocket Raccoon and Groot became less absurd than the ninja turtles.
ReplyDeleteLooks entertaining. Superhero Comedy. If this is successful it backs up your claim that a Star Wars buddy comedy would be huge.
ReplyDeleteI like that Marvel has figured out that comic book movies can appeal to a broad audience without being dark and brooding. Someone should tell DC.
