Cross-media characters evolve from platform to platform, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. It’s pretty easy to find comic that were better than the movies that were based on them, just as it’s easy to find movies better than the comics they were based on.

Interesting you bring up grounding Superman, as the creators didn’t originally have him flying. Superman started flying in the animated Fleischer cartoons, & this ability was added to the comics 4 years after Superman debuted, by other writers.

My question is: if the movie versions can be as different as the writers want, where is the line drawn? Can they ground Superman? Take away Spidey's webbing or wall crawling? The Hulk's strength? At what point do we step in as fans and say "nope, noooope... Nope nope nope nope."?

Really sad to hear about the passing of Olivia Newton-John. My first real crush as a kid. I loved Grease & her music & I coincidentally also bought & lived in for a while the wonderful home she built in Malibu. May she Rest In Peace. ❤️

Oh absolutely! I texted with @JamesGunn after I saw the @Guardians 3 trailer to gush. Then I texted my Scooby Doo-movies-loving kid to humblebrag and fan out about talking to one of our favorite filmmakers. Harley’s response made me feel like I raised this kid right... twitter.com/daedules/statu…

Groot was created by Stan Lee. He was 100s of feet tall & bellowed, “Behold! I am Groot the Invincible!” Stan didn’t remember he created him - he told me he didn’t create any of the Guardians & I told him about Groot. He laughed his ass off.

James gun isnt the creator of Groot n thus has no say so in its character development. As long as the creator states otherwise yall can assume its the same Groot.

Yes all the Guardians understand him now. It takes a certain amount of time and bonding to be able to understand him.

And based on one of the post credits scenes and infinity war is it a spoiler to say the whole guardians crew can understand him now? Or is it Peter and rocket so far

In the scripts for crew and cast that don’t understand Groot it says “I am Groot.” But I also have scripts available for those who understand Groot with the translations in them.

In the scripts do you write the translation of what he's saying in English or do you write "I am Groot"?

A really cool experience, I will forever be grateful to for taking a chance on us and for killing it. It’s a story of learning about yourself through pain, which is a story i and a lot of people can resonate with I think, especially in the pandemic

It’s a year anniversary of the suicide squad, what was it like writing rain for the film?

One year ago. I’m used to being startled by how quickly time flies but damn a lot of stuff has happened between then and now! Engagement, new home, Peacemaker airing, filming all of Vol 3, new projects, new dog, & so much more! 😅😛❤️

People, the process of evolution is happening right in front of our eyes 🤯 Who knew there’d be a day when we’d see sharks actually walking outside the water? 🦈 Well, that day has arrived – and the footage is truly amazing to behold 👇 trib.al/Xvjvg1a

I'm putting an official moratorium on responding to guesses about the Easter egg in GotG Vol 1 until after Vol 3 is released, because I don't want to affect anyone's enjoyment of Vol 3 if by some chance someone gets the whole thing. Sorry! 🪺

The Guardians Holiday Special is the epilogue of Phase 4. 🎅👍
Quote Tweet
@JamesGunn I'm confused, if Guardians of the Galaxy: the Holiday Special is releasing after Black Panther Wakanda Forever which is said to end phase 4, and before Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania which is said to start phase 5, then which phase does it belong in? Phase 4.5?
