8. Nathan Fillion
There was speculation that Nathan Fillion would play everyone from Cosmo to Nova in Guardians of the Galaxy, but the reality ended up being a blink and you’ll miss it cameo as one of the inmates in the Kylln prison that Star-Lord is sent to near the beginning of the movie. It seems – and please do correct us if we’re wrong – as if he’s the big alien who confronts Quill and is quickly taken down by Groot, but had we not been told about his appearance beforehand, it’s a fair assumption to say that no one would have ever realised! Some might dismiss this as being a “pointless” cameo, but bear in mind that this leads the door wide open for him to make a more significant appearance in a Marvel movie somewhere down the line when he’s not so busy with Castle!
Great write up Josh!
Yeah, I guess many people may have missed Thanos, Groot, the Infinity Stones and the big fat floating Celestial head because… euh… they watched the film with their eyes closed?
C’mon, man, I know you need to get clicks, but apart from the Howard the duck scene, I think everybody has seen this.
Why not try reading the article before you comment Boinez? This feature clearly explains the significance of those scenes to the people who will have watched it this weekend and don’t necessarily know their significance. The people I watched with didn’t know who Cosmo was and wouldn’t appreciate the importance of an Infinity Stone in the MCU if I shoved one up their nose. Not everyone reads the comics.
Oh, I read it.
It’s a fine article, but they aren’t things they may have missed though, are they? More like things they may have not fully understood or whatever. You know, clickbait.
Troll.
Yeah, because reasoning and giving constructive criticism instead of just applauding is trolling. Fiiiiine.
Did anyone else notice Howard the Duck over The Collector’s left shoulder when the Guardians first enter his abode? Blink and you’ll miss it.
Why did they have to bring in Howard the Duck? He is the lamest Marvel character ever!
AGREED idk y they didn’t just do the Adam Warlock cacoon breaking scene like I heard it would b the Cosmo in it wasn’t as bad but after they showed Cosmo they should have went to Warlocks cocoon laying on the ground n a big crack just cracks threw it then cut to credits it woulda been wayway way way way WAY BETTER then Howard the duck that almost ruined the whole movie for me
I feel like I’m going crazy here and I might have to watch it again to check but I’m sure I saw Mel Brooks as one of the prison inmates.
Did anyone else spot the figure in the long red cape kept in a cage behind the collector? His back was to the camera but that cape was similar to the one Thor wears, could this have been a nod towards Beta Ray Bill?
I saw it, but didn’t notice the dark elf in The Collector’s collection. I regretfully went to the bathroom twice, and as a result missed small parts of the movie. Also, it’s just an excuse to talk about Guardians of the Galaxy.
I saw Mel Brooks too
