Anyway, the movie opens with a young Peter Quill listening to “I’m Not in Love” by 10cc on his Walkman, originally released in May of 1975. For a movie that uses music this prominently, it’s frustrating that an accessibility feature like subtitles doesn’t provide on screen lyrics or even the name of the song that’s playing.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the subtitles on this movie are hot garbage. Note: Previously I’ve cropped the screenshots to match their original aspect ratio, but on the Blu-ray Disc for this movie, unlike previous film, the subtitles overlap with the letterboxing, so the rest of the images in this post will be letterboxed to accommodate the subtitles. So let’s engage in some pedantic nerdery (er– more so than usual) just for the sake of having some reason to justify this being an entire article. Because this story has Peter Quill abducted in 1988, it would follow that his understanding of Earth’s pop culture would all need to be pre-1989, and there are a lot of pop culture references in this movie. After that there’s basically no other mention of dates.īut I’m not just going to leave it there. We’ve got a prologue set in 1988, and then we flash forward 26 years to 2014, which gives us the setting of the film. Even more so than the Thor movies, this one is super simple, in fact, after only five minutes we’re given all the information we need to place it on the timeline.Īnd that’s it. I’m still not quite sure how I’m going to handle those since I won’t be able to use screenshots the way I have up until now, but we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.įor now, though, let’s talk about Guardians of the Galaxy.
We’re halfway through the Marvel movies that have thus far been released, but there’s also Captain Marvel and, of course, Avengers: Endgame on the horizon.
