I think most people will see GotG as a movie that changed the game for superhero movies. They proved that a comic movie can be wacky and still be great. There have been other attempts at this and they nailed it. IMO, Cap 2 changed the game, though. They proved that a comic movie can realistic, badass, and yet can still be fun. The tone of that movie was so perfect. I hope this concept continues. I would hate to see him killed off.

Maybe. I think Marvel's slate of unannounced movies will prove this. If we get Hulk, IM4, Thor 3, and maybe a Black Panther or something, GotG will have little effect.

If we get something like Planet Hulk, Ms. Marvel, Inhumans, then yeah, GotG had a big effect.

I thought The Dark Knight set the stage for this. It showed that a comic book movie could be less superhero-y and still effective. Cap 2 did borrow from TDK, but it gave it some more levity.

Evans has given his all and been fantastic, it would be sad to lose him, but he left his mark on the character and I'm grateful for that.

I would hope so, but I'll have to see it to believe it. Iron Man was pretty light compared to the Nolan Batman movies and the Fox X-Men films. But they stayed on their own courses. Sony just said "frick it, we'll keep re-doing the same Spider-Man stories" and Fantastic Four just went full derp.

Plus, Marvel pulled away from Wright when he wanted to do something different. I don't see the Thor/Iron/America/Hulk universes changing that much based on Guardians.

I think our best bet of a Guardians inspired movie is from some other studio. Somebody thinking, "Screw this, if they can make their own Star Wars then so can we."
