I can picture the day - 1971 - Marvel is flying high with their diverse properties. But they're all based on Earth. In the midst of a drug-induced hazed, someone has a bright idea. Rather than bring a super hero to Earth, why not send a regular guy into space? And Guardians of the Galaxy is born.*
The film really tries to maintain this campy vibe despite being reset in a modern age, and it delivers. When you are establishing your base as a talking racoon and a tree, why not throw in a 1970s soundtrack and smooth dance moves?
Guardians of the Galaxy
2014, 122 minutes, directed by James Gunn
* I have no idea if this is how it actually happened. It seems probable.
