    maybe they have a ton of 80s themes to make it more cohesive to GOTG since that is becoming the most financially successful franchise very quickly for them besides star wars

    That makes sense, and I don't mind because I like movies from the 80s. A lot of good classics came out of the 80s

    Well the last one was in the 80s so I wouldn't be surprised if they do it years later and do the 90s

    Wait, there's going to be another X-Men? I thought Logan was gonna be the last? Boy Marvel/Disney really likes milking their superhero franchises

    What? Fox has control of the X-Men brand for live-action films, and a partnership with Marvel Television for their TV properties.
    Not at all. Thor Ragnarok is embracing the comics more than its previous installments. Jack Kirby and Walt Simonson, who produced the best Thor comics, have plenty of wacky, colourful adventures. This is the Kirbyfication of the MCU.

    Secondly, Guardians becoming the most financially successful franchise? Not a chance so long as the Avengers films still exist.

    Part of it has to do with marketing, I want to say. All the "nerds" who grew up in the 70s / 80s soaking up all of this in comic book form now, as adults, get to see their favorite heroes brought to life (and in extraordinary fashion) on the big screen. So there is that nostalgia factor. Kind of how "Stranger Things" is 80s themed and is such a huge success. Maybe a coincidence, but maybe not. They chose that decade for a reason. And, look at how they are doing "real life" versions of The Jungle Book and The Lion King... coincidence that everyone who watched those Disney cartoon movies as kids and grew up with that are now adults in their 20s and 30s? Nahhh, it's nostalgia, man. Everyone is after it!

    Case in point- I want to see the new Power Rangers movie solely for this reason.

    I just couldn't get into GOTG, something about it didn't click, especially after everything I'd heard about it and the hype

    The soundtrack though (duel)

    Part of me wishes SW had as diverse leading characters as GotG does. Like, the excessive human factor in the SW world makes it so much more relatable, but there are so many different aliens in the galaxy...

    I'm really hoping we get more of this in the future. Rogue One teased it with these guys, but didn't deliver.

    Hello!

    When I write fanfic I love to make it weird and with the coolest combinations of aliens, so it'd be awesome to see a SW film with that diversity.

    You must be new in the cantina, hello! I'm poe as you can see, I don't get many new people on this thread sadly. This is a friendly community, I had fun on my first day of the cantina, hope you do too. I started this thread to make it easier for people to get to know each other and make friends, I hope it does that for you.
