of course James Gunn would stick to his guns
also I loved every minute of this movie. It was incredibly well-executed. I also loved the post-credits scene. Seth Green's voice fit Howard pretty well too.
You know, they're trying to do this whole "one sequel, one new movie" thing each year with the MCU. 2017 already has Guardians 2 planned, so there's the sequel. I wouldn't be surprised if Howard somehow got a relatively standalone movie that year. Of course, I'd also be okay if that didn't happen.
Anyways, really great. Man we really need spoiler tags. Anyways, loved the final battle, and I'm glad they went the route of Rocket planting Groot to revive him. Which makes sense. Would all the the Groot-shards left on Xandar grow into their own Groots though? Will we have an army of Groots? IS THIS WHAT HE MEANT BY WE ARE GROOT?!?
I'm already ready to see this again. So damn good.
