Wrong. I don't like humor whenever it can be used, and you ARE a stick in the mud. You're way overblowing a non-issue by claiming it ruined the film for you. Such nonsense. So I'm a stick in the mud because my opinions are different than yours. Got it. The fact that you can't even come up with an alternative to keep Ronan distracted long enough for Rocket and Drax to repair the cannon, even though I asked, says a lot.

This lowbrow travesty of a scene has rightfully gone down as one of the shittiest written pieces of raccoon turd in film history, no reason to get sensitive nipples about it. Now stop molesting random posters and play with your sticky ponies. Are they save?

In a truly awesome way. Yes. The ones that needed everything else to be interesting to make up for the leads. Yes it was an awesome Origin of the Grocer story. But come on-every movie has supporting characters. You cant say they exist to make up for him not having parental issues. He didnt any back story. He's a stranger in town.

It's better than the usual "Walks off into the sunset" or whatever usual Gunslinger ending we'd get. And yes, supporting characters can make up for a bland protagonist. In fact, for the Spaghetti Westerns I'd say that's there prime purpose.

So you believe that The Man With No Name has no interest to audiences? That when they watch A Fistful of Dollars they are actually more interested in Esteban Rojo or John Baxter? I agree supporting characters can make up for a bland character-this is why Steve Rogers is surrounded by support. He needs it.

Steve's a good character on his own, the ones who need supporting characters are guys like Superman or Batman.

I'll believe Steve Rogers can carry a movie when he actually does, like Eastwood did to international box office success in A Fistful of Dollars. Most of the line quotes are of him, not the other characters. "When a man with .45 meets a man with a rifle, you said, the man with a pistol's a dead man. Let's see if that's true."

Why do I need to come up with an alternative scene? I didn't write the movie. But I'll bite. If I did write the movie, I would've just had Quill try to attack Ronan to save his friends, then Rocket could save him with the gun after Ronan almost kills him. Not perfect, but it would've built their character bond and had the same end effect as well as making Quill's connection with his dying mother grow on top of all of that. It's really not a big deal, dude. You take all of this way too personally.

It's really not a big deal, dude. You take all of this way too personally. Uh, yeah, that doesn't work. Rocket tried to do exactly that mere moments before and Ronan just knocked him aside with the power of the stone. He'd have batted Quill away in less than a second and then just brought the hammer down. Like I said, the key was getting Ronan TO PAUSE by distracting him. Quill is not strong enough to distract Ronan in a physical confrontation for longer than the blink of an eye. Good to know you obviously weren't paying attention. You also ignored my other points, such as pointing out Quill dancing his way through danger in several other scenes in the film and one of the general themes being "people dancing through life and hardship". So yeah, your suggestion is complete garbage and would have ruined the film. It is a big deal, because its a non-issue you chose to be bugged by.

I don't get why you're so damn hostile. It was a simple and intelligent conversation and then you decided to get nasty. It's all about opinion. This scene ruined the movie for me, but you loved it. The fact that the Joker is so smart and powerful ruined The Dark Knight for you, but I loved that aspect of the movie. People have different views on movies. That's all part of watching movies.

No, this is about you blatantly misunderstanding the film. I actually paid attention while watching it, so I actually know what I'm talking about. I guarantee that if the releases of Guardians and Ghostbusters were switched and the former had nostalgia on its side, you'd be singing its praises. And if the latter had come out in summer 2014, you'd be saying the Staypuffed Marshmallow Man scene was too goofy and ruined the film for you, instead.

Ease up, innit? sdrew13163 is a good dude, never starts shit, and generally tries to go along and get along with most everybody. I don't think he's trying to, like, feud with you. (Plus, you owe me for being nice to that judgedredd kid that I was poking fun at when you asked me to stop!)

He did, in First Avenger and Winter Soldier. Civil War had tons of others and continued the Universe's overall story so I'll give you that, even though the focus was mostly on him. Eastwood may have had quotes in Fistful of Dollars, but he didn't carry the movie even if he got more quotable lines. The main drive of the film was the conflict between the Baxters and Rojos.

The main drive of the movie was Eastwood between the two sides. His face was on the poster, not them. Imagine the movie without him. Not so interesting.

sdrew13163: I see you've already left a like on the post where I said I would apologize, you already know my intentions. Sorry, sdrew, for allowing things to get too personal and getting nasty with you. I didn't do this last night, because by my clock it was already after midnight and I had no idea if you'd be online again before this morning.
