Description
After the success of Avengers, the MCU was burgeoning into a colossus, and Disney found itself in desperate need of Intellectual Property to enlist in it's conquest of popular culture. They take a risk: A cult director with a pedigree in sicko schlock, a far fletched cosmic setting, and a d-list cast of offbeat throwoffs including a talking raccoon and a tree. What did they get? A smash hit and a money printing machine. What did we get? A perfectly fine mainstream blockbuster. Nicole and Stu take a look at the movie that helped define blockbusters in the 2010s and probably the best movie the whole Marvel thing has yet produced - but in it's success, does more than any movie to expose the problems and limitations inherent to the 'Cinematic Universe' approach to film.
