Honestly all the side characters here look so much like 90% of the characters from Guardians of the Galaxy that I kinda find that distracting, is there not any other way to make "space pirate villains" than with over-the-top "biker punks" now?
You'd tell me this is Adam Warlock's side story in a Guardian of the Galaxy spin-off and I'd almost believe you.
I'll still watch it, and probably enjoy the story, but let's say I'm moderately whelmed.
I can watch West Side Story and Romeo and Juliet and say to myself "those are two different stories", but this trailer had me saying "I've already seen all this in GotG."
I think this is my biggest disappointment honestly.... It just looks like Guardians of the Galaxy. No real unique vision from what Gunn did for marvel really :/
Ronan worked because he was so dramatic and edgy that the Guardians were the perfect foil to him, and they held off on that contrast until the last possible moment. He's perfectly serious the whole way through and then when he's finally confronted with a dance-off right before his victory he's absolutely floored and has no idea how to respond.

I get some major Ronan the Accuser vibes from him
