* I want this baby Groot SO BADLY:



If Marvel doesn't come out with an actual dancing version of this in their merchandise, they clearly don't know their audience.

* Peter Quill's "Awesome Mix Vol. 1" is definitely the best Marvel soundtrack ever. I bought it the day after seeing the movie the first time, and have had "Hooked on a Feeling" stuck in my head ever since.

* Granted, GotG is definitely the funniest Marvel movie we've seen, but I feel like the "grim brooding superhero" trope is far more applicable to recent DC movies than Marvel. (The Avengers may not be as explicitly jokey, but they are snarkmasters, each and every one, and I laugh an awful lot in those films.) At the same time, though, I TOTALLY get the feeling that Chris Pratt is the male version of Jennifer Lawrence.

* Much as I loved GotG, I am bitter about the post-credits scene. I really, really wanted it to be a Captain Marvel teaser (come on, guys, Katee Sackhoff already said she would do it). I swear to God, if we get a Howard the Duck movie before a female superhero standalone, there will be no containing my HULKSMASH. 

* Speaking of which, Kevin Feige really wants to do a female superhero standalone movie, you guys. It's just really hard, see, because there are so many DUDES that need movies first, you know?

* I really want to believe that sexism is a "defunct idea" in the MCU, but at least as far as GotG is concerned, I think "James Gunn just thinks it's funny" is a more likely explanation.

* In case you haven't seen it yet, here is the Phase 1 and 2 retrospective video/extended commercial for the DVD combo package Marvel showed at Comic-Con.

* The cast and creators of Agents of SHIELD talk about season 2, but since they can't actually say anything, they mostly just stand there and get speculated at, lol.

* Captain America: The Winter Soldier gag reel. What doofuses. "(whines) Because I'm in chaaaaaarge."

* COMPLETELY UNRELATED TO MARVEL: Bryan Cranston talks about Walter White and directing Better Call Saul.

* Stephen Colbert gives some really excellent advice to teenage girls (no, that's not sarcasm - he's out of "character").
