It took em a long time to right the ship that is Agent's of Shield, and by that time most people checked out (including me). And that was relatively grounded in reality

What made them think that a space epic at the level of Guardians of the Galaxy could work on network tv with that budget.

What made them think they had the talent to make characters that are pretty bland as a whole and make them interesting? Regular dudes who find themselves with superpowers (Agents of Shield/Netflix shows) is a trope we are used to now and doesn't require that much of a suspension of belief. Space gods living on the moon though...ya work is cut out for you.

Imma check out the movie just to see how bad it is
