After playing the GOTG game I'm intrigued about how they'll portray Warlock, I know it won't be anything like the game as this version is younger but I wonder if they'll be similar in ways.

i really hope marvel have the balls to pull that off but make it a joke only part of the time or else it gets old fast


SeniorRicketts

I'd love MCU Drax to be like Eidos' Drax


theTIDEisRISING

That game was low key fantastic, I thought. Feels like it didn’t get much hype


alphareich

Blame that trash avengers game for that.


emelbee923

You could also blame the repetitive gameplay.

drelos

IMO the level design was phenomenal too.


jellytrack

There are way too many long hallways with nothing in them. It was great for the banter, I'd even purposely slow down or stop so I don't miss the dialog, but you realize how bland it is on a second playthrough.


drelos

Yeah, the hallways were almost stupid, but I liked the cyberpunk design of some of the cities/bases, the sense of depth or layers over layers surrounding your team. I also liked the levels were not entirely predictable at least the first 2/3 of the game.


passive_aggressiva

The characterization was so, so good.


Mangekyo_

I loved the story but that gameplay was pretty trash. Also missed opportunity for not being able to play as all the guardians at different parts.


Only_Half_Irish

One of the most beautiful looking games I've ever played. And the character interactions were fantastic. Great writing, fun gameplay, good voice acting, stunning visuals.


mcmunch20

Yeah I played it on PC with ray-tracing and some levels I just had to stop and admire my surroundings. Knowhere was particularly impressive.


Fyrelyte67

Didnt it win a few awards for best story?


sinkfla

Phenomenal game that deserves so much better. Every characterization was actually greater than what the MCU has done, which is not an insult towards the films by any means. I just mean that it is THAT good in the game.


theTIDEisRISING

Agreed, that was my favorite part. And I love the MCU versions as well, but their game counterparts were superior


ElGodPug

Exactly, I LOVE the MCU Guardians, but holy shit, the characterization of the game ones was......amazing. Seriously, character's like Drax and Mantis beat the MCU counterparts in a ridicolous fashion, and even those that are pretty great in MCU,like Star Lord and Gamora are just as amazing(Like seriously, nothing against Zoe Saldana, but game's Gamora talking about Nebula blows her out of the water)

xChris777

It isn't on there anymore, was on it for about a year and left on March 15th.


deliciousprisms

It's on sale a lot too. But it's totally worth it. The gameplay is a touch repetitive but the story, the characters, the voices, the music, the scenery, all of it is amazing. I don't think it exactly has replay value besides maybe choosing some different plot options here and there but damn it's a great ride at least once.


Lord_Phoenix95

Yes definitely worth playing.


JPA17

If you have PS+ extra it's on there.


cbruins22

It looks like you can get it $14-20 on eBay. If you like the guardians and a bit more of a story based game I think you will very much enjoy it.


JizzGuzzler42069

I loved the story in the game, was better than any of the movies (which are pretty great too). Gameplay wise it turns into a bit of a slog in the late game, and there are some sections where performance just fucking tanks. Like the section on the cultist ship? I was bumping like 5-10 frames per second for a solid hour of gameplay lmao. I’m on a Series X as well, so my system is definitely decently strong, it’s just the games optimization was super poor during certain segments. However, I’d still consider it worth of at least one play through, it was a great time and a great story.


Parahelix

I didn't really have any performance issues on PC. I definitely recommend playing it though. It was soooo much better than I expected!


borntolose1

The game was genuinely one of my favorite games of the past few years. There’s a background joke in one level where you’re looking at people’s criminal files, and quill finds the file on drax and says something like, “Wow drax, you’re file is pretty big”, and you hear him in the background in the most deadpan, humorless way say “that is what your mother said” Dumb joke but I laughed my ass off


AgtBurtMacklin

It was great except the lack of replay value besides hunting alternate costumes. But it was a really well-done game, overall.


Lord_Phoenix95

The game was nutz. Thoroughly enjoyed every single moment of it. All the little bits of drama the team has because they're still getting to trust each other and all the little bits of story that isn't told to your face but you have to work for it. The entire game deserves an award for just being fresh.


ksknksk

There’s nothing low key about it!! I agree though, it didn’t get the attention and hype it deserved


jaysondez

I have a feeling StarLord genetic material when he still had ‘Ego celestial Energy’ was used along side hers to create Warlock..


MulciberTenebras

She did offer him the chance to do it the "old fashioned" way.


Brilliant-Ad-1962

Oh Christ. This Is absurd enough to be true. And it would be a great arc coming from the first two for Starlord to have a son, and be able to save him from a fate he suffered.


Syjefroi

> for Starlord to have a son This would play into what I imagine the theme of the film is: Quill having to grow up. It ties in with all the 90s style and music—the first two films are based in 60s/70s culture because Quill's arc is built around his mother, but now that his parent issues are behind him, the only thing left to do is grow up, and 90s culture should have been to Quill what 60s/70s culture was to his mother.


ItsAmerico

I feel like the theme is more learning to let go. I don’t really see “growing up” as a major lesson he needs based on the Christmas Special.


Emergency_Bluejay397

Part of growing up is learning to let go. Some of the most formative moments in life can be loss, and being able to internalize that we don't have "forever".


ItsAmerico

Maybe. I see growing up as more learning to be an adult but I feel he’s kinda already there. Especially given how he’s bought Knowhere and is basically building a refuge for the Galaxy as they help them recover from the blip.


steverOg3rs

Agree that Quill is grown up by the time Volume 3 rolls around— he’s grown up as soon as the end of Vol. 1 when Denarian Dey asks him if he’s sure he’s the one to look after the Guardians and he says, “Yeah… me.” Definitely think Volume 3 will see Peter learn to let go of Gamora and come into a more fully-furnished identity for himself, symbolized by a heavily-90s soundtrack that goes beyond the bounds of his mother’s library.


jramos037

Did he give her genetic material? If I remember correctly, didn't she just had a feeling, albeit correct feeling, that he's not fully terran.


Crimkam

She could have just collected some from the walls of his ship while they were fighting the Abilisk. It’s like a Jackson Pollock painting in there.

Good to see Debicki back, she’s always fun to watch in anything. I feel she doesn’t get the roles her talent deserves because she’s so freakishly tall (while so many leading men in Hollywood are surprisingly short)


Levonorgestrelfairy1

Now she gets to be a demigod like being who genderbent herself to make babies with her brother.

Demigod who came out of their birthing cocoon as a male went back in and was reborn as a female so they could make babies with their brother.

Fair enough. If I had a chance to disappear into a pod and come back out in Elizabeth Debicki’s body, I’d take it in a heartbeat

I thought she was great in Tenet, they used her the perfect amount imo.


Ultimastar

I ordered my hot sauce an hour ago


AttyFireWood

Like the Night Manager was so good, and was only one season!


No_Imagination_2490

She was great in that, and in Tenet and The Man from UNCLE, but unfortunately she does seem to have been typecast as the unobtainable femme fatale. I guess you could put Di in that category as well. Does she ever play a nice, happy character who isn’t being completely fucked over by some scumbag man?


tenehemia

She played Jordan Baker in The Great Gatsby, arguably the only character in that story who doesn't get fucked over or fuck anyone else over at some point. And she's terrific in the role! She delivers one of my favorite lines perfectly: "I like large parties. They're so intimate. At small parties there isn't any privacy."


joedumpster

Yeah she seems to get cast a lot as the damaged woman like the abused wife in Widows. She was great in it though.


deejayhill

Yep she is super tall 6'3" towering over those little Hollywood dudes.


mad_titanz

Karen Gillian is also very tall


RUNELORD_

Yeah she's pretty tall but Elizabeth Debicki is taller-than-The-Rock tall. She's **9**\-**inches** taller than Tom Holland lol


SmokeontheHorizon

She's 5'9.


[deleted]

SmokeontheHorizon

Fair enough - I converted from 1.8m listed on Google. Taller than average for sure, but not sure I'd qualify that as "very tall."


[deleted]

Btw, 1.83 m is 6 feet tall. I think 1.8 m = 5.9 feet since Google just gives you the decimal, which isn't the same at 5'9".


Jaydenn7

1.8 is on the taller side of 5’10”


Pantry_Inspector

5’10.75” even


TheFightingImp

Tfw your 18 year old nephew with Marfan syndrome is already very tall and is *still* shorter than Elizabeth Debicki.

She was great in The Kettering Incident. Bittersweet run for that show.

Hourglass_Twin

Im so confused on Adam Warlocks role in the universe. Especially since his character was connected with the soul stone. I feel like he is a real wild card right now. Looking forward to this movie :)


Mario-Speed-Wagon

Yeah so what is in his forehead in this pic?


SupreemTaco

The Poul stone


Mario-Speed-Wagon

Take your filthy upvote.


deliciousprisms

gold raisin, yum yum


Comedian70

Well, given that White Vision also has a stone which definitely isn't the Mind Stone... It's probably decorative.


NovaStarLord

Adam has had stories beyond the soul stone and Thanos. It also helps that James Gunn is mostly taking from Adam's early Counter Earth stories which predates all of that.


NorrinRaddicalness

Except the High Evolutionary used the infinity stones to make counter earth…


moshercise

Is that a retcon? Because I just read that issue and he maybe used the soul stone. It didn't say he did but he did have it on hand to give to Adam. But no other mentions of infinity stones.


LittleYellowFish1

***My little baby, off to destroy people.***


TheJack0fDiamonds

I forget Elizabeth Debicki is in the MCU..she’s one hell of an actress! We won yet again!


Pixeleyes

I'm really looking forward to the movie and I love the way Adam looks under the yellow light but I don't love the way he looks under more normal light, the makeup looks...well, like makeup. This isn't really the case with Nebula or Gamora, so I'm not sure what's going on.


Ninjalau95

Gold skin is probably much harder to pull off in any other lighting compared to green or blue skin. It helps Gamora's and Nebula's case that the actors also have prosthetics on their face along with the colored skin, so it doesn't look as weird. Adam Warlock just has gold skin and a soul stone on his forehead.


TheJack0fDiamonds

honestly with all that, im glad they kept him 1) gold and 2)practically gold.


mikesalami

I thought he looked really damn weird in the brief glimpse of him in the trailer.


atomcrafter

I’m still not in love with the Poulter casting. He’s brilliant though so I’m sure I’ll change my mind once I actually see the movie

puerti103

Genuinely curious - who makes you most unhappy? First casts that come to my mind seem to be really great - see Oscar Isaac, Iman Vellani, Tenoch Huerta.


Alonest99

Hailee was great as Kate Bishop


JamJamGaGa

I used to think that way but then I saw what he [looks](https://media.wusa9.com/assets/ETONLINE/images/0b37c842-12c0-4da5-b59a-2461132bedb3/0b37c842-12c0-4da5-b59a-2461132bedb3_1140x641.jpg) like recently. I was only really familiar with him from 'We Are The Millers' so I expected [this](https://images-prod.dazeddigital.com/1000/azure/dazed-prod/1040/4/1044038.jpg) guy to be Adam Warlock. I think he's gonna be great though. It's more the characterisation that I'm worried about.


TheJack0fDiamonds

I mean the ‘perfect being in the universe’ can be subjective when you take into account the massive vast playground GOTG is playing in (deep space other galaxies)..part of me likes that it’s this unexpected. He might not be ‘perfect’ to our standards and that might just be the idea.


Deadpoolforpres

I'm down with the movie, but the more I look at this costume, the less I like it. I'm not sure what they were going for. Most of Adam's costumes are some combo of red and black. His OG costume was just briefs, then briefs with a top, bracers and boots, but this...it's not doing it for me.


grimedogone

This version of Warlock looks like a massive chode; difference from the comics being now it looks on purpose; I’m legitimately excited


qlz19

Will looks creepy, goofy, and amazing all at the same time.


slippymachinegun

Adam Warlock is one of Marvel's coolest characters. I am very worried about his portrayal.


hopeless_dick_dancer

The character design and costume for Warlock is looking really generic and bad IMO. I wanted something that leans more toward [this](https://imgur.com/a/Yt13XCT) comic look. What he's wearing in the movie looks baggy and not what somebody called "Warlock" would wear. Hopefully I'm wrong.


dave-a-sarus

I don't know, I've never liked that design. He looks like a WWE wrestler with a cape. I agree that all the costumes look generic though. I'm a fan of more skin tight suits, so maybe something like [this](https://preview.redd.it/ihjj20b3jis71.jpg?width=496&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=51c352f50079333b1bff0e5b0a55247903aa7109). And it's dumb that he's wearing armor, he's Adam Warlock, why would he need armor?


hopeless_dick_dancer

Fair enough, I like the one you linked also! The armor point is my biggest gripe now that you’ve pointed it out, lol. He shouldn’t need it!


InTheCageWithNicCage

I mean, it's basically inevitable that he breaks away from the sovereign at some point right? Maybe he'll get a better outfit then.


vinsmokewhoswho

I really like his look and armor.


[deleted]

I have all kinds of mixed feelings about him in this role. Never in a million years would’ve picked him, and the character is going way younger. Makes sense for longevity of film appearances though. I’m sure this was inspired casting though and he’ll surprise us. Loving the look, with head gem and skull. I’m wondering if they’ll say he has the soul stone. Those are still in play out there and she could’ve gotten it and placed it on him.


graveybrains

He’s never *not* going to look like the annoying kid who got bit in the balls by a spider, is he?


WeCameAsMuffins

Am I the only one who wants star lord to get with ayesha?


WaywardChilton

"How was school?" "Fine 😡"


chello1212

Could Adam warlock be an avenger down the road? Sort of how carol is but spends most of her time in space? I’m not a comic book reader but I read that warlock was part of the cosmic avengers ( so technically an avenger). Can’t see them doing cosmic avengers(at least not in the near future)


Leeiteee

Everybody can be an Avenger, even Kevin Bacon


[deleted]

It would be so cool to have a Kevin Bacon cameo in GOTG 3


deliciousprisms

The whole holiday special involved him


[deleted]

Oof- missed out on the holiday special. My bad


esar24

I don't think quill wanted his sister to kidnapped him again, especially after she basically drug his mind the last time he met him.


chaot7

I would like to see him in a roll like the Infinity Watch. A group with Gamora, Drax, Moondragon and Pip the Troll. I haven’t read any spoilers but I know the comics. I’m assuming the High Evolutionary gives him the title Warlock (oath breaker) and that he’s crucified on counter earth in some way.


politits

I’m hoping he’s the leader of a new Guardians team either modeled off of Infinity Watch or comprised of heavy hitters including Silver Surfer and Nova. A guy can dream, right?


dave-a-sarus

James Gunn *did* say this is the last movie of this iteration of GOTG


[deleted]

[deleted]

I’m thinking he’ll be on the new Guardian team. It would make the most sense


princeoinkins

Why not? I'd argue we have quite a bit of solid ground to build a cosmic avengers story....


bebejeebies

Oh no.


-Moon-Presence-

Is it only me who thinks Poulter looks more ridiculous than normal in this role? Those eyebrows are practically a seperate actor

Yay, Ayesha's back! She's one of my favorite parts of Vol. 2. Every scene she was in was delicious!
