Growing up in the Silver Age of Marvel comics, I strongly preferred the adventures of Spider-Man, Hulk, and Daredevil to those of Superman, Batman, and Green Lantern… because the latter group had zero feels. The DC characters rarely turned inward on themselves, except to occasionally express some vague apprehension over lackluster romances or having their secret identities exposed. Meanwhile—regardless of their extraordinary abilities—the Marvel characters seemed to be just as insecure, doubtful, and in search of themselves as 12-year-old me. There was a connection established there between comic and reader—and while today’s cinematic offerings from Marvel Studios are generally more action-oriented than emotionally based, the Guardians of the Galaxy movies are solidly in their feelings.
