Movie Monday: Guardians of the Galaxy not 100% a dick.

The weekend is over, and that means movie Monday is upon us! This weekend Guardians of the Galaxy came out in theaters. Now, i will honestly say, the only time I ever heard of GOTG is when I went through boxes of a comic shop and when I saw their new comic out on the table. I didn't pick it up, but even before the movie came out or was officiously announced, I heard it was one of the better current Marvel comics. Let's face it, most people have never heard of Guardians of the Galaxy till the movie was announced. 
With most of the Marvel comics being more like their movies, it's hard to be critical on the new movie. The new Guardians Comic is very similar to the movie with costumes and looks. Wait, that should be the other way around. 

Anyway, the characters that stole the movie Rocket and Groot (aka Han Solo and Chewie). Who doesn't love how adorable Groot is. Though, can I get a dancing Groot toy?! I'll replace my sunflower with it! 

Also, Starlord, even if he seems like a pretty-boy, playboy, imbecile, he seems like the perfect caring non-selfish leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy! He seems so dreamy in a way! I don't know if anyone agrees with me. However, I wish they stuck with the original back-story of Starlord. It makes it more intense in a way, but I guess the backstory in the movie still makes his weakness for girls understandable. Starlord is definetely a mommas boy. 


Thanos is PERFECT! 

Before I give too much credits to the characters in the movies, Gamora is not my favorite. I like her, I just don't like the look they used. I like the above Gamora the best. 
Or this one... I can't decide. Maybe I just wish they did the eyes like they do in the comics. That would be so cool! 



Though, the end credits... Not gonna give it away, but I wished they would have spent more time on it. The scene looked fake and it disappointed me. I loved the end scene for Captain America with Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. But I can't talk about it much without spoiling it! 
All in all, a MUST SEE movie. I was scared that this movie would be too much like Iron Man 3 (the marvel movie I hate the most), but it wasn't. Just enough action, just enough humor. And all the main characters are lovable. 


Anyway! If you didn't have enough of Guardians of the Galaxy, Starlord #2 and Rocket Racoon #2 come out this Wednesday at comic stores! I think I'll be collecting Starlord from now on. Nothing against Rocket. Starlord is probably my next crush.

Movie Monday: The Reveal Everyone is Talking About!

So... Comic con is over. Now what? We soak in all the news they release! 
Gal Gadot's look for the new Batman/Superman film is out! Yet, people still have mixed reviews about Gal Gadot. While she is a hot actress, she is super skinny. The long time fans of Wonder Woman don't care if she worked for another countries army at some point in time, she is super skinny. What muscle does she have to defeat Superman, the Man of Steel? 
Wonder Woman has no weakness like Kryptonite, but, if you've seen Justice League Doom, it seems as though her only weakness is that she will fight to the death...literally. Wonder Woman is an Amazon! Gal Gadot says people have a problem with her being WW because of her lack of big boobs, but it's actually her lack of muscle tone. Girls have enough problems being as skinny as the next big actress, why couldn't we set a better example. Only if Marvel didn't already take all the good leading ladies for their character's roles. Her face and body will bring the guys in but will it satisfy the girl fans who love the Wonder Woman they have always loved? 
Another person says that her costume looks like Xena: the Warrior Princess. At this rate, it's probably better if we just put Xena scenes in the movie. We need someone like Xena played by the beautiful Lucy Lawless, but it's hard to find someone in Hollywood that has some arm tone and is gorgeous at the same time. Plus, once again, WW is an Amazon. Her costume would probably be like that in real life rather than a leotard-type costume. Also, will her lasso make others truthful? Find out in the next movie from DC comics!
