so i'm WITH ya in that Guardians is fanTASTic, fully satisfying, risk taking, game changing, universe building and one of my favorite flicks TOO. (i'll be seeing it for the 3rd time in the next week or so)...

but for me, they (Marvel) doesnt have to 'up the ante' on Cosmic-ness, or Epic-ness in order to make another movie as successful and satisfying as GOG...for me, the key is about characters and their motivations. if you can have a script that grounds a character and his/her emotional state and allows us to connect with said character(s) on some level, and then place them in a situation where their established character makeup has to navigate, react, chose, evolve or devolve in a logical way that we can relate to and/or understand...then, regardless of whether the situation is Epic or Earthbound...then, in MY mind, you'll have the makings of a film i'll care about and want to see over and over again...

Iron Man 1, Cap 1...prob the most 'earthbound' of the recent Marvel flicks...are two of my most favorite, and i probably re-watch those more than any others. (along with the Avengers too...cuzz...well Joss just killed it with that one too :).

but AS LONG as they keep the characters phsycological makeup, genuine-ness and honest motivations FIRST on the priority list (as they did with Quill in GOG), then i'm not worried about the awesome mind-blowing other worldly universe that Guardians has built somehow lessening the ol' earthbound heros. I mean, i friggin CANT WAIT for what i hope to be the gritty, grimey, grounded & hopefully 'realistically frightening or unerving' in a way, hardcore 'hells kitchen' environment of the upcoming Dardevil/PowerMan/IronFist Netflix shows...those, IF DONE RIGHT (character/character/character-casting/casting/casting), could be JUST as successful in 'dark under-world' building as GOG was in 'colorful outer-world' building ya know?
