The initial release of James Gunn’s “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1″ was met with enthusiasm from Marvel enthusiasts, as it seamlessly integrated this cosmic team into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This marked the start of a new trilogy and introduced characters such as Peter Quill, Gamora, Groot, Rocket Raccoon, and Drax the Destroyer, who embarked on an action-packed journey together. To put it simply, this film has much to offer, including its entertaining soundtrack and charming characters. However, there are certain aspects that remain puzzling about the first movie even today, which cannot be overlooked despite our efforts.
Initially, the first “Guardians of the Galaxy” movie had quite a bit on its plate. It aimed to present five well-developed superheroes straight from the comics, along with numerous supporting characters and some villains. Simultaneously, it was supposed to keep audiences engaged with an engaging storyline. Given this complex task, it’s no surprise that some minor details might have been overlooked. Of course, dedicated comic book enthusiasts may spot even more inconsistencies, as the Marvel Cinematic Universe often tweaks and adjusts comic plots and specifics for their film adaptations.
Yondu Picking Up Peter Didn’t Raise Any Alarms?
In this popular movie, Peter Quill is the initial hero introduced, but there are some intriguing aspects of his past that fans are eager to delve deeper into. For instance, it’s established that Peter Quill was quite young when he was taken aboard Yondu’s crew. The sequence unfolds on screen, beginning with a sorrowful event and culminating in a cosmic journey. However, the fact that Yondu’s spaceship didn’t attempt to be discreet while abducting young Peter Quill is somewhat puzzling. I mean, this was a fairly large spacecraft that swooped down, grabbed a child – with the lights on no less – and departed. One would think such an event wouldn’t go entirely unnoticed by any nearby residents or authorities.
In movies from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, additional context is offered yet falls short of providing a complete explanation. It’s understood that at the time Peter Quill was abducted, there were probably few active superheroes. However, considering a low-flying spaceship traversing North America, it seems improbable no one would have noticed or inquired about it. While there might not have been any superheroes to pursue it, wouldn’t someone else have investigated?
The Nova Corps (Delayed) Response & Plan of Attack
To be honest, we’re curious about the Nova Corps, as they appear quite different from their comic book counterparts, despite being based on Xandar. For instance, there doesn’t seem to be a WorldMind or any evidence of the Nova Force, which gives them power in the comics. However, this might simply mean that the complete version of the Nova Corps as we know it hasn’t fully manifested yet.
A more significant issue arises from the Nova Corps’ reaction to Ronan the Accuser’s assault. Granted, they wouldn’t have foreseen the attack, but it appears unusual that they didn’t act until Ronan’s ship was directly over the city. It’s hard to believe they were occupied with evacuating civilians, as the movie shows numerous people running from the destruction during the fight. Therefore, what caused the delay in their response? Are they still refining that aspect of their training? If true, this suggests how new the Nova Corps might be.
In another phrasing, here’s how the situation could be rephrased: The strategy they employed seemed impressive, as the Nova Corps ships formed a colossal net reminiscent of what we see on the big screen. Yet, it appears that this tactic would have been more effective if enacted prior to The Dark Aster entering the atmosphere. Granted, there were other factors working against them, but employing this strategy earlier certainly exacerbated their predicament and increased the danger faced by the citizens below.
Peter Quill’s Translator Doesn’t Work on Groot
At a certain moment in the movie, the team known as the Guardians of the Galaxy get apprehended, which interestingly creates an opportunity for some minor inconsistencies in the plot. For instance, Peter Quill’s biometric scan reveals he has a Translator Device implanted in his neck. This detail helps us understand how Quill managed to communicate with different languages across space. However, we are also expected to accept that this same device was unable to comprehend Groot’s language.
In essence, this decision was made with humor in mind. The fact that the crew struggles to comprehend Groot’s speech is a recurring joke throughout the movie. As they gradually pick up on his gestures and simple phrases, it could be suggested that the Implant didn’t include Groot’s language because it’s unique enough. This is just one of many quirks that make the film intriguing when you scrutinize it closely.
