Marvel Matt's thoughts on Trailer
Trailer #1 highlights:
First things first this movie looks just as fun as the original and that is saying something. The characters are intriguing, the sets are otherworldly, there is action and obviously some humor.
Ooga chaka Ooga Chaka the familiar tune subtly plays in the background as the camera gently glides down a hall of the Milano. A cheeky scrawl is written on the walls no doubt by a certain intergalatic outlaw turned hero, Starlord. The message is clear the team is back.
Then begins to snap quickly in a variety of intriguing scenes that show that while our favorite characters are back, they are in a very different place than where we saw them last. The team is shown walking through a weird alien planet. Star Lord standing before a glowing biomass like abyss. Gamora drawing her sword. Rocket and Yondu strutting past helplessly floating warriors, a giant explosion. Then finally a joke because this is the Guardians and they don't take themselves too, too seriously.
I am very curious where the locations are in the Marvel Universe. I am a massive Marvel universe geek and love to chart out the planets. They certainly do not appear to be the planets visited in Gotg 1 (Xandar and Morag) One thought is that some scenes make actually take place on Ego the Living planet. Ego will play a major role in the film and will have a human form played by Kurt Russell but also will presumably still be a planet. In particular the scene of Starlord peering out into filmy blue biomass feels like could be on Ego.
Who is Ego the Living Planet
There is also another interesting scene where Yondu and Rocket are walking together where a huge group of warriors presumably members of the pirate like Ravagers. Rocket used a similar gravity shut off strategy to escape from the prison the Klynn in Guardians 1. Where is this location at? My guess is that it is aboard a Ravager vessel.
Trailer #2 highlights
Trailer 2 showed some more of what one expects from Guardians of the Galaxy, more humor, more action and more insane special effects.
Rocket Raccoon explaining to Baby Groot not to press a red button is both funny and shows how different this Groot may be from his predecessor.
We see all of the heroes in battle against a huge army of hive like space ships and then with a large space monster. There are still few details on who the antagonist of the film is.
The trailer also gives us the first glimpse of the character Mantis. It also shows her power hilariously in action.
Who is Mantis?
I think Mantis looks really awesome. She is a pretty weird character and has been shown looking a few different ways in the comics. She could have been depicted with green skin, with or with out antennas. This particular look takes ques from all of these. I think what is cool about it is that she does look alien while maintaining a lot of human facial features that connects her closer to the audience.
