Guardians of the Galaxy Poster Is All About The Space Action

As much as I hate it when a show or movie just blatantly fishes for nostalgia cred (lookin at you regular show.) there's something charming about the way Marvel is handling GotG that I can't help but love.

Movie of the year! Just because i have no idea what its going be. Some parts serious, some part comedy. Lots of weird stuff, lots of character stuff all with a talking tree and a gun shooting raccoon. This movie is so out of left field, its going to be a joy to watch.

Is it just me or do Drax's markings look really weird in this poster?

It looks like he has a really bad rash or something.

Still looking forward to the movie though.

I used to think like that until I watched some of the latest eps and don't get me wrong, it still does that, but the shows actually trying for emotional depth... granted it usually takes the form of a magical stand off or colossal monster fight but cartoons, fun is fun.

OT: It's looking more and more like The Fifth Element, please, PLEASE don't suck!

I like it but it needs more Drew Struzan.

Guardians of the Galaxy

Of course, that means we're operating on movie poster logic so perspective has been thrown right out the window. For example, why is Starlord so freaking huge compared to Drax and Groot? Yes, I get he's the main character, but come on. <a href=http://media.comicbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/The-Avengers-Poster.jpg>Even The Avengers poster didn't let Iron Man pull that on the Hulk.

I believe it's called hierarchy of scale. The basic gist is to make the more important parts of a piece bigger so they draw more attention. Since Starlord is presumably the main character from what I've seen so far it makes sense that on the poster hes the largest thing. Drawing more attention is also why hes almost centered on the poster.

I'm sort of worried that my expectations for this movie will be too high, but they do seem to know what it is they need to do... unlike say Man Of Steel.

Look at that poster. That's a slice of fried old-school sci-fi gold.
