Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is Going to Be Awesome

We're right around the corner from seeing the cinematic birth of another comic book superhero in the form of Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange but where there is Marvel news, there is also more Marvel news. Using this new film to boost other upcoming projects, Marvel Studios recently released a 90 second sneak peek at their first 2017 film known as Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. You may have possibly heard of it! It stars your favorite huggable tree, wise-cracking raccoon, and sexy lead star who also goes by the name Chris Pratt. The only disappointing thing about this movie so far is that these beloved characters are very much in fact, fictional characters.

Details on the plot of the upcoming summer flick are still being kept highly under wraps as evident by this trailer, but glimpses shown do provide for interesting speculation.

It was revealed at San Diego Comic Con 2016 that legend Kurt Russell will portray Peter Quill's father but he will also be a "living planet" named Ego. We may be seeing this planet in the trailer without context in shots like the one shown above.

Chris Pratt is one of the main stars of this Marvel sequel and he will obviously have an emotional family arc with his costar Kurt Russell within the film. This is another shot out of context but it appears as though our witty cosmic hero is in a serious hurry. Where is he flying? And why does that mask look so cool?

In the original Guardians of the Galaxy, characters like Rocket Raccoon and Yondu were somewhat enemies. But here, it looks like an alliance or friendship has started. Why are these two characters walking together being friendly? And more importantly, what's going on with all the floating bodies surrounding them? Perhaps it is a bigger display of Yondu's mystical mohawk powers. Or perhaps this movie is just going to be really trippy.

Another reveal at San Diego Comic Con, thanks to director James Gunn, was that Drax the Destroyer has an odd character arc in this new movie. Dave Bautista's character is trying to understand metaphors more clearly and even create metaphors of his own. He's also a very affectionate extraterrestrial as made clear in the image above. It is crazy seeing as how just one movie ago, he wanted to slit everybody's throats in a prison. Drax provided some of the biggest laughs back in 2014 and it looks like he'll provide much more next year.


Finally, the last shot of the trailer features none other than Groot! He's a growing baby and he's got a tight leather jacket because fun adventures are to be had. The marketing team at Marvel knew what they were doing when they saved Groot for the final moment in this trailer because chances are that he is going to steal the show. He may also steal the hearts of millions watching the movie too. And then those millions will spend superfluous amounts of currency on Groot merchandise.

Come to Toys R Us and buy our exclusive Baby Groot plushies! Every purchase can save you up to five dollars on tickets for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2! In theaters May 5th, 2017!

I can see it now in my head and knowing Disney, it will happen.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
