Those poster colors are the same that are in the movie. Lots of blues and violets. Violet color has a lot to do with the movie.

How much can you talk about it? I hear the embargo lifts on July 24th.

Was it shot in 3d?

It wasn't shot in 3D. Like all Marvel films prior, it was a post-convert.

However, Gunn oversaw the entire post-conversion process alongside the IMAX DMR process (as the film utilizes shifting aspect ratios).

I would imagine that in a film like this, that uses a plethora of green screen set extensions and backgrounds, converting it for 3D is much different than converting a film that was primarily live action and practical sets and/or already finished.

So much of this film needed to be computer assembled anyway.

I dunno. Avengers may have had more green screen than this. Was amazed at how much green screen in that one.

It's all about the work put into it. Hell, Pacific Rim had solid 3D.

Holy shit.

There are some intentional bits cut out in there but that was fucking good.

Watching Kimmel now. Watching the main cast together like that is interesting. Seeing them physically there as they are, that'd be a good cast to see as their regular selves.

The cast was fun on Kimmel, though the quiz seemed a little spoilery--kinda wish I hadn't heard some of that. But I'm not sure how much of that stuff is in the move or just the comics.

For real!!! But like you said, maybe the answers to some of those questions (Regarding the fate of certain characters) doesn't occur in this movie (I hope)

Ok. I've been in and out of comics for the last two decades but.......
Spoiler:
it was my understanding that Drax was a human who was killed in a car accident (unattentive by sighting Thanos' ship) and his daughter later in life became Moondragon. Gamora was taken by Thanos as a child and trained by him. No blood relation. And Nebula claimed to be the granddaughter of Thanos but thst notion was rejected by him. Has all this been retconned? Is Drax backstory diff in the film? Is Moondragon mentioned?


I have All of Thanos' Bronze Age books so this would be quite the surprise, in a good way.

That orange and teal shit has got to stop. Totally ruins those posters and makes the film look generic.

Tom, I think your comic history is spot on, but no way they're fitting all that backstory in the movie. And the version of Drax they're using is a post-Annihilation very-changed Drax, I think the most they would do is reveal what his reason for being is.

That 4 minute clip posted recently mentions the thanos/gamora connection.

Yeah, I wasn't thinking they would cram all that in this flick. Just wondering if the origins were Bronze or Modern (Annihilation). So f'n cool that we are seeing a Thanos plot in the MCU.
