>What the fuck is Guardians? Russia's answer to the Avengers, claiming to be a nationalist version of Superhero movies, while ripping off scenes, concepts, and heroes from the Western comics it claims to be distancing itself from
what does anyone here know about Russian movie goers? what a ridiculous thread /op/

>derp I got poor reaading comprehension This shit wouldn't have sold regardless of audience taste. It was filled with holes no one should make. But they were made, so I'm posing the question how it would be fixed.
Nolan Powell
It's a damn shame it sucked, because I heard that they would've teamed up with China for the next movie, and the idea of a legit communist cape franchise amuses me.
That being said, the director is terrible, so I don't really think anyone expected otherwise from the movie.
Ryan Perry
>What would you have done to make this a success? Didn't waste money on that shit. In Russia it totally falls, just as in whole world. Because it's dump parody on Awengers with grotesque amounts of rostbery. Russians in general don't like superhero movies. Such class of hero stay in faritails and national epos about half of millenia ago. And all that american trouses above pants look just some dump story for dump kids with autism. No plot, no physics, no sense, no logic. Just more explosions, naked tits on full skreen, action and dump jokes.

if the comic came before the movie, Sup Forums
if the comic only exists because of the movie, Sup Forums
but all live-action threads should go on Sup Forums regardless so

At least make a Bubbleshit thread. Their comics may be shit, but at least they're not as uncreative and soulless as Andreasyan's piece of vomit.

Landon Cruz
Seems to work pretty well over here.
Like the Holodomor?
It didn't 'go back'. It was annexed. Invaded. You know. Stolen.
Find someone who can make a competent superhero movie, which would be a problem.
Superhero movies, much like horror is a really new ground for Russia. Russians don't really have any experience in making movies like that (or for that matter inventive enough talent who can tell a good superhero story made in Russia, but that's a different story.) and have to copy Hollywood which actually has history with those genres, so it's easier for Americans to make cape movies due to decades worth of material both good and bad to adapt and possibly improve. Because of that lack of experience Russians tend to miss the mark with what made Hollywood flicks work even if they can copy it superficially (y'know, making the bare bones, like superhero cliches, but forgetting stuff that makes capes work like characterizations, humor, etc). It doesn't help that pieces of shit like Sarik Andreasyan (I can't tell if he's a genuinely narcissistic scumbag who thinks he's making good movies or LE EBIN TRULL like Uwe Boll who knows he makes shit and acts like an antagonistic cunt to everyone who criticizes his movies) get their hands on making these kinds of movies. You see, they don't care about creating a product that masses will love. They want to capitalize on MCU craze (and yes before someone brings up DCEU, Snyder and co are at least trying to do something different. Whether they succeed or fail spectacularily is up to you) Andreasyan doesn't want that because the likes of him are parasites with no original idea in their heads. He wants to make the most generic cape movie possible with flat characters (I'm not saying MCU characters, villains in particular, are deep or anything, but Guardians characters are so shallow, Red Skull or even Aldrich Killian would feel like Tony Soprano when you compare them to the main villain of Guardians)

Major Grom was the closest Russia had to a good superhero movie, but it's a) a short film which main appeal is humor and action scenes so you can't fuck up as much as a hour plus long movie that tries to tell a story b) it's still obviously Hollywood-ized (I don't mean that as a bad thing. For instance, first three Bogatyrs movies are obviously influenced by stuff like Shrek but also well-made and has enough Russian "soul" for the lack of a better term to be relatable to Russian people.) and c) that movie is made out of an established franchise much like MCU, lol so if you want to see more characterization, feel free to read Grom's comics to see more of what kind of a character he is, while Guardians just give you sappy backstories that don't click with anyone because they influence nothing and characters are too dull and forgettable for most people to care.
What Russia could make is really great dramas and comedies as USSR cinema proves, but now that well is poisoned by talentless hacks who don't want to put any effort in their works and only want to fill their pockets by making a subpar product.
Hope that helped.
Oh, and I find it highly hilarious that it's advertised as a first Russian superhero blockbuster. Nobody remembers Чёpнaя Moлния apparently (which, by the way, was a beat by beat ripoff of Raimi's Spider-Man, so I don't blame people for forgetting that shit. It's the perfect example of what I meant by "missing the mark" and "superficial copying")
tl;dr purge the cancer who cares about money more than about making a serviceable product, find good talent.
Ian Ramirez
Well, stahp. My point was as it follows: we could bait the ukr government to letting crymea go do a referendum with treaties of lot different shit. Referendum would be 99% ours, if not - go rig the shit out of it. And no sanctions, no HURR DURR BAD ЯUSSIA, just being a little more cunning.
Andrew Green
Oh, and I remember something now. We had a movie called Чёpный Фpaep which was a parody of stuff like Brother and Russian criminalized 90s in general, but may pass off as a decent Russian superhero movie if fucking Deadpool counts as one.
Jose Gray
>What would you have done to make this a success?
probably leaked it online filled with malware to push the last desperate attempt at holding Moscow's powerbase and therefore holding Russia together
Russia hasn't been communist for over 25 years, user
they're straight up capitalist oligarchy and have been ever since Yeltsin was forced to buy the loyalty of the old power system by handing out state assets as "private" companies

Native Russian speaker from a post-soviet country here who watched this thing. Are you going to tell me that there are any of you murritards who legitimately find this horrible tasteless pile of shit any good?

Bad enough they kidnap and brainwash Bucky, but now they have to rub it in.

Holy shit, could this be any more stereotypically Russian than it is? I've never seen Russian cinema align itself so closely to the perceptions of foreigners.
Dominic Evans
It didn't bomb. Much like Uve Boll's movies, this was financed by the government. The small portion they didn't steal/snort/whore went into production. If they don't make that money back, noone cares. If they do, they pocket it anyway.
Alexander Hernandez
It sucked, didn't it? Shame really, when I first found out about I hoped it would evolve into a "Post Soviet Superhero Cinematic Universe", perhaps with some comics as well. Shit had potential and character designs weren't half bad.
Benjamin Morgan
>What would you have done to make this a success?
Should've made solo-films of each character first. You cant make an ensemble flick without doing your homework.
Will they ever learn?
Ayden Myers
Should every Russian thread turn into "OLOLO. PROPAGANDA. UKRAINE"?
As for the movie itself, it was made by a director who's really hated in Russia by making shitty 2016 Ghostbusters-level "comedy movies". He's kinda like Russian Uve Boll.
No one here expected anything from that piece of shit and we got even less than we expected.
Recently, a sort-of-neat short movie based on Russian superhero comics was released, but it doesn't really tell much about cape kino and its future in Russia.
So do yourself a favour and forget that Guardians exist. Pretty much everyone in Russia already did.
Aaron Collins
Nah, you can, but it requires a good script. Which this thing definitely doesn't have
Sebastian Collins
It's more important for Russia that the russkies like it.
They are big on patriotic propaganda again.
