Maybe it was the lack of expectation that let the Guardians of the Galaxy sneak in and steal the hearts of many MCU fans.
For many, they’re the most purely entertaining part of the franchise, while also telling some truly heartfelt and emotional stories.
Everything from a more comedic tone to the use of a 70s pop-rock soundtrack made the first Guardians of the Galaxy a truly unique experience.
Now, with the release of Avengers: Infinity War, the team gets to interact with the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the first time, making the new movie the biggest crossover event for the MCU so far.
