I took the fiancé to Guardians of the Galaxy tonight. We both loved it, one of Marvel's best movies to date. If I was a 10 year old boy, I'd be OBSESSED with this movie, so I think they're going to make a shit load of money with this franchise. That being said, can we talk about the big return in the post credits scene?
Turn back if you don't want spoilers.
So if you sit through the credits, you find out that The Collector is not only hoarding Infinity Stones, but he's got Howard the Duck. The 1980s movie is probably legitimately the worst movie of all time, but the character is actually a Marvel comic super hero. Every character that's shown up in a Marvel post credit scene has become a major character in the cinematic universe. Is Howard the Duck actually going to be a part of Marvel Phase 3, or was this just a fun nod to Marvel fans?
One theory I've seen that made me laugh is that Marvel is just shaking it's dick at WB/DC. They can't get Wonder Woman off the ground and Marvel is relaunching Howard the Duck.
Adam Warlock!
