When I saw Drax I kept thinking that he looked familiar, but I couldn't put a name to the partially obscured face without looking it up. And didn't Drax have a head-fin or something in the comic?
Nah Draw doesn't have a head fin . You might be thinking of Yondu, blue guy with a big red head fin. Who will also appear in the movie apparently. Which is a nice nod to fans of the original team, and. You have to figure its easier to stick in the one alien member of the original team rather than shoehorn or completely rework the other guys who were human, although genetically modifiec
I have to say out of all the marvel movies coming out in the next couple years, this is the one I'm most looking forward to. Although I would have preferred the original team, especially because Vance Astro was always one of my favorite characters. Even though, after he got Captain America's shield, he picked a silly monikor of Major Victory.
Things I'd love to see from the comics that probably won't show up... love to see or have them mention Knowwhere , its the head of a sort of dead Celestial that's become a floating city in space they use as a base of operations. And since they have Rocket, it'd be awesome if Cosmos the telepathic dog showed up. He's a dog the Russians launched into space but the capsule was lost and he ended up gaining intelligence along with telepathic and telekinetic powered. If only to see him and rocket get annoyed with each other. And it'd be awesome if in one of the stinger scenes at the end you see one of the nova corp (they're the space cops who captured the Guardians) on earth meeting Richard Ryder.
So far from the things they've released about the movie, the only thing I find disappointing is that Korath the Pursuer isn't blue. :-)
