The Guardians of the Galaxy Get Their Own Cartoon!

The Guardians of the Galaxy opens in theaters this week, and I could not be any more excited!  Then I learn that Marvel announced at San Diego Comic-Con that the GotG crew is getting their own cartoon!  Now I am basically frothing at the mouth.

According to Comic-Con attendees, Marvel showed off a 1-minute sneak peek of the cartoon featuring Star-Lord and Rocket test footage.  No date has been set for the debut of the show, though we know it will broadcast on Disney XD alongside Marvel's other current cartoons, Ultimate Spider-Man, Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H., and Avengers Assemble.  Marvel also stated that the Guardians will be making guest appearances in the other Marvel cartoons before they launch their own series, to keep the team fresh in the audiences mind.

Lets hope Marvel makes something good this time. I'm really over the nonsensical plot-lines and fart jokes that plague Ultimate Spider-Man.  Also, I am not digging the Rocket character design AT ALL (see below). But, again, this is a cartoon and aimed at kids, so I really shouldn't complain.  I get a full length GotG movie in less than a week! WOOOO!

James Gunn Is Working Chris Pratt and Dave Bautista Extra Hard For GOTG

James Gunn tweeted that he made Chris Pratt and Dave Bautista reshoot an action scene 22 times to get it just right!  That is dedication!

Today I worked @DaveBautista & @prattprattpratt harder than anyone since @Michael_Rooker on Slither. 22 takes of a 1 shot action sequence!

Keep up the good work, boys!

Zero Percent Chance Of GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Comic-Con Footage Being Released

When asked what the odds are of the critically acclaimed Guardians of the Galaxy Comic-Con footage being officially released by Marvel/Disney, Director James Gunn replied, " Zero precent chance, sorry! I know a lot of you have seen the shaky camera footage, but it was made after 12 days of shooting and isn't a true reflection of the awesomeness we're trying to create for you."

BOOOOOO!  This is absolute crap.  If it doesn't represent the movie you are trying to create, then why show it at all at Comic-Con and D23 Expo?!  I am now on a mission to hunt down someone who cammed the entire presentation.  I WILL see this complete footage.

If you haven't seen the 30 second shaky came, here it is:

And here is a snippet regarding Rocket Raccoon:

And here is a snippet featuring more Star-Lord:

Star Lord Footage and Rap Sheet (Leaked Footage)

Well it appears Peter Quill has some 'spraining to do.  A lovely user over at CBM has posted a clear shot of Star Lord's electronic rap sheet and a clip showing him flipping the bird while in a lineup.  Check it out.

It's terrible quality...I know...but it's leaked footage.

I assume it's blurred due to D23 Expo being a kid friendly environment.

I just want to point out that Peter has 1 count of a sex crime, "illegal manipulation of Gramosian Duchess."  Hmm, sounds kind of rapey.  I wouldn't doubt if Disney changes the wording on that by the time the movie hits.  And...have you SEEN a Gramosian?!

Admittedly I've never seen a female Gramosian.  They are a black and red hairless humanoid species.  Very kinky.
