The next Marvel movie that's coming out is Guardians of the Galaxy. I've seen the trailers and commercials and, sorry I just can't. A talking raccoon, a tree thing, and the leader Star-Lord looks like a college kid stumbling out of a frat party? It looks like Spaceballs 2.0. Marvel Studios is supposed to work for one connected cinematic universe, but how is this movie based on its previews work in with the serious tone of the Winter Soldiers, the proposed Age of Ultron, and even Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.? I think Marvel Studios believes anyone will come see its movies as long as the Marvel label is on it  but that's not always a guarantee;  cases in point, Daredevil and Elektra. Kevin Feige was co-producer when these two movies tanked. I think Marvel jumped the shark with GofG, so I'm in the "skip it" camp.
