Guardians of The Galaxy: My Impressions / Quill's Awesome Mixtape Vol:1 / GOTG Trailer in LEGO / Art by OODON
MARVEL's "Guardians of the Galaxy" feature film was "effortless" and a sheer joy to watch and be entertained. Well worth your time and money, whatever your preferences may be. A comedy, a sci-fi space actioneer romp, in that order. MARVEL has a surefire winner here - Big Ups for Geekdom! "Effortless" because you'd go with whatever's going on, without a need to question anything. A talking raccoon. An emo lovable tree (the closing scene so cute can die!~). A destroyer with a heart. An assassin who thinks the world of "Kevin Bacon". And Peter Quill, a hero by necessity and default, a hero for the new millennium. @JamesGunn rocked the spaceways! Can't wait to see what happens next!

Trailer for GOTG done with LEGOs! Directed by Forrest Whaley, with animation by Sean Willets & Forrest Whaley. Makes me sad I could't afford both the GOTG LEGO builds I found in the department store after exiting the cinema with unbridled kidult-joy… bought me some Hasbro figures tho … :p
From artist OODON comes the characters from GOTG depicted as CATS (as part of his "Pussy Series") in their comicbook guise hence the blue uniforms - posted here and a well viewable on Behance. Feel free to check out other MARVEL characters which here "pussified" here on Facebook :)
