James Gunn late fight down his decision to change   sure aspects ofGuardians of the Galaxyfrom the original comics . The author / film director has lent   his unique vision to the Marvel Cinematic Universe to thrilling effect , garnering far-flung acclaim for   both the firstGuardians of the Galaxyand the highly successfulGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 2 . He ’s also long been untroubled to divvy up his thoughts on the making of the movies and give glimpse into his filmmaking methods .

As with any writer / theater director adapting a movie   from vast , complex origin material , Gunn took some indecorum with the characters you see in theGuardiansmovies as compared to their risible counterparts . He will likely   cover to do so inGuardians of the Galaxy   Vol . 3 , which may beset for release in 2020 . by nature , such changes start the hazard of drawing unfavorable judgment from devoted fans of the comics , but   as Gunn explained in a unexampled consultation ,   sometimes they are necessary for the rice beer of the moving picture - and so far , it ’s punishing to argue with his termination .

Speaking withTHR , Gunn defended the pick he made to switch keyGuardians of the Galaxycharacters from the comics to the moving picture . His response concernedAdam Warlock , who is expected to appear inVol . 3 , and how he would be unafraid to take liberties with the character .   Here ’s how Gunn   explained his approach :

" I always do what ’s best for the movie . A flock of times that think taking thing from the source material , and other times it ’s changing thing . … I ’ve changed a lot already from the strip with the Guardians . Groot ’s personality in the firstGuardians , which people get it on , was nothing like his personality in the comics . He did n’t have that puppy - weenie innocence that we love about Groot . I do n’t limit myself in any fashion when it get along to using hooey from the comics or not using it . "

Groot started out as plainly a villainous tree diagram monster , and   used to say a quite a little more than just"I am Groot"before the events of theAnnihilation : Conquestcrossover comedian . Even after , he has been a nobler , gentler member of the Guardians who certainly does n’t expose the"puppy - heel innocence"to the degree that he does   in the movie .

Gunn changed far more than just Groot though . The director   alsostripped away Peter Quill ’s cybernetic enhancementsand made Yondu into more of a morally compromised space pirate than a"noble savage " , among several other modification . manifestly , his changes ultimately work out for the good , as the firstGuardians of the Galaxymovie still stands as one of the MCU ’s most memorable entries .

Sidious, Tyranus, Maul, and Vader.

With any moving picture adapted from another medium , there ’s always the risk of going too far with change made from the seed cloth . Major alterations could disaffect certain sports fan or , bad , be a detriment to the movie . But Gunn is clearly   not interested with being too"faithful"to the cartoon strip , and so far theGuardians of the Galaxymovies have mostly benefitted from his originative bravery .
