You're mistaking "being depressed and having bad thing happen" for character depth. It's not the same thing. It's not even close to the same thing. Showing a character depressed is easy.7. a little boy who loosing his mother and spend his life making jokes all the time. xavier loosing his leg 10 year prior to the events of dofp and looses his adopted sister and we see the hopelessness, bitterness, sadness, anger and loneliness of those events and the down ward spiral of his life. So who has more depth? Xavier or Star Lord.
Showing a character that's still haunted by their past but still able to live their life and even enjoy it is much harder.
The Guardians did that. Their lives pretty much sucked, but they didn't wallow in their own depression. Hell, the closest thing Starlord had to a father repeatedly threatened to eat him growing up and even though they were on opposite sides, they still had a fondness towards each other. That shows a lot more work put into their characters than "Oh, I'm sad and depressed because sad and depressing things happened."
I'm sorry, what am I salty about?
I enjoy the superhero genre, and have for a number of years. And I've enjoyed the majority of all superhero movie releases, starting with Blade.
But in all of those, you've given one example where the superheroes didn't win.
There's no shame in admitting that, hey, the superheros mostly win (and by a huge margin), and that's fairly predictable.
So we have ghost in shell? How many space adventure movie do we have? 50, 100?
All movies have plot holes. Plot holes does not stop a film with a Better plot as better plot is judged by good story telling and less reliance on cgi.

x-men movies also have one too.
LMAO...Sentinels did not take over the world. The worst of humanity did. Sentinels were their tools. Wow, you are failing hard.
DOFP had great Magneto, Logan, Xavier, Mystique, Trask, Kitty Pryde,Beast . Because they were the focused characters and the x-men were not yet formed in the past and were killed off im the future only a few remained.
Funny, Michal bay used your cool action argument TOO. LMAO.
Your Gunn argument does not change the fact that singer had a better body of work. He created gotg, singer created X2. Another superior movie to GOTG and slighter better than DOFP.
Lmao...Mystique is only blue when she is with mutants. She shapeshift to JLAW to fit in better in a grounded world that is serious, hates ans fears her..
Visuals are not a substitute for poor story telling.
Star Wars 3 >>>>>>>> GOTG.
I can list about 50 space fun adventures movies. List me 10 movies that follows the direct concept of dofp? not many people have the brains that chris Claremont had.
8.1 on IMDB with multiple votes from MCU IMDB Socks account and tweens voting for their favourite childish movie.
7.8 is the score of winter solider. a superior movie to gotg.
I can name five that have the word "Terminator" in the title alone.List me 10 movies that follows the direct concept of dofp?
As for gray characters all the mutants in DOFP were shown to be doing wrong for a greater cause so they weren't gray they were righteous and again the humans had no more depth that Ronan or Thanos.
Trask, Logan, and Magneto never changed hence no arc.
The deaths in X-Men meant nothing because one most weren't even given anything but glorified cameos to care about and also they were all alive at the end even the imagery with Magneto's speech means nothing if it's not lasting. Say what you will but Peter's mom stayed dead and resonated.
Kitty was sent back in time by a telepath her powers didn't involve time travel so no that doesn't answer that question.
GOTG Cleary showed the power of the Infinity stone and the Danger of it being controlled by Ronan or Thanos which threatened the Galaxy and they stated that in the film.
are you for real...LMAO.
actually it is easier to show a character easily brush off their dark past and not deal with it. you want to know why?
PRETENCE and the DUMBING DOWN OF STORY TELLING.
please don't ever say what you just said in front of JK Rowling, Stephen King or George RR Martin or even Chris Claremont.
did you ever wonder why x-men comics were called soap opera at itmes?
It is easier to pretend everything is fine and cool than face the harsh reality of certain situations. disney can not let star lord face that so he jokes about. same as they did with tony stark in iron man 2 and 3. life is not about jokes or enjoyment all the time
the guardians are one dimensional. that is why they have no story telling in their movies and everything is about fun and jokes. let them step into the world of x-men. they will grow up fast.
what do we call xavier and magneto fondess towards each other? that carries more weight because we know how different their philosophy are and how much they have hurt each other. that is a fondness that has weight and depth to it.
ego was a terrible villain, magneto is great villain. big difference.
I said apart from terminator. but that wont matter because DOFP was written in 1981 and james cameron is well aware of the similarities.. Cameron himself even had input on dofp movie and loved the film..
http://www.cinemablend.com/new/How-J...st-107697.html
unless of course you say something as naive as..DOFP is a rip off of terminator .
now gotg? complete rip off of star wars.
GOTG and Star Wars take place in space outside and Starlord is slightly like Han Solo outside of that there really are no similarities. Now if you said Marvel had ripped themselves off and just did the space Avengers that's actually a more valid argument and I would had given you points.

I preferred Guardians, but Days of Future Past was a great film too. Not sure why you're comparing the two other than to just show how you have the superior opinions.
Ghost in the shell and space adventure? what?
plot holes - true but gotg has less important plot holes that's why it is better movie in this area
No. Half of them was weak.DOFP had great Magneto, Logan, Xavier, Mystique, Trask, Kitty Pryde,Beast . Because they were the focused characters and the x-men were not yet formed in the past and were killed off im the future only a few remained.
and one more things about deaths - as long as x-men are never focused they can die. in gotg some random people also died. who cares about cameo characters?
it doesn't workLmao...Mystique is only blue when she is with mutants. She shapeshift to JLAW to fit in better in a grounded world that is serious, hates ans fears her..
true that's why i wrote that gotg has better story and better visualsVisuals are not a substitute for poor story telling.
dofp concept was used so many times...I can list about 50 space fun adventures movies. List me 10 movies that follows the direct concept of dofp? not many people have the brains that chris Claremont had.
it is still better than yout mindless hate especially when You talk about things You didn't watch or read.8.1 on IMDB with multiple votes from MCU IMDB Socks account and tweens voting for their favourite childish movie.
it wasn't superior7.8 is the score of winter solider. a superior movie to gotg.
If only we had similar stories in X-men movies.please don't ever say what you just said in front of JK Rowling, Stephen King or George RR Martin or even Chris Claremont.
GotG is a Star Wars rip-off?
Holy shit that's a new low.
Okay can we all at least agree Mystique's character even with being a shape-shifter was always Mutant and Proud until Jennifer Lawrence got really famous and said I'm not sitting in that make-up chair for hours on end and it wasn't some character development or growth?![]()
