re: Guardians of the Galaxy and Marvel's Risk

But obviously Marvel is playing long-ball, and while the film is 99% stand-alone, there is a tangent or two that will likely make the picture somewhat required viewing for The Avengers 3 in four years.

Ever since GotG was announced I thought it'd figure a good deal into Avengers 2 but now it seems from what they are saying it has very loose connections outside of Thanos. So on one side of the coin I'm bummed that we won't be seeing any GotG cast in Age of Ultron, but on the other side I love seeing them set up the long game with these movies.
