Now Viewing: guardians_of_the_galaxyTag type: Copyright An American space opera superhero franchise/superhero team which debuted on Jan. 1969 in Marvel Super Heroes #18. The second Guardians of the Galaxy team debuted on May 2008. The original team was created by Arnold Drake and Gene Colan. The 2008 team was created by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning. Unlike most superhero teams, the Guardians' adventures are mostly set in space, giving their adventures a space opera flavor, and they have to deal with intergalactic threats. While the characters have appeared in various Marvel adaptations, it would not be until 2014 that they would receive an adaptation centered on them. The 2008 incarnation of the series was adapted into a 2014 live action film directed by James Gunn and written by Gunn and Nicole Perlman. The original score was composed by Tyler Bates. Besides the score, the movie makes heavy use of 1970s-80s era music, which is in-universe what Star-lord likes to listen to. The film starred Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, and Vin Diesel as the team, and is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Although the MCU is one of the most financially successful film franchises in history, the adaptation was notably met with a great deal of pre-release skepticism due to the relative obscurity of the source material and the outlandishness of its characters to the point that Gunn commented that if he had a penny for every time someone doubted the movie, he would have the same amount of money that the movie ultimately made. The film turned out to be one of the most successful MCU films critically and financially and boosted the popularity of the franchise as well as becoming one of the franchise's biggest surprise hits. It also turned lead actor Chris Pratt into a major film star. The film was adapted into an animated TV series on 2015.
