>>77021960Well, let's think about it for a second.
The first ten minutes of Guardians is "My mom died of cancer and I ran away from everything I knew."
The first ten minutes of Man of Steel is Jor El riding around on space dragons and being awesome.
The big bad of Guardians of the Galaxy is a religious zealot waging a holy war on an innocent universe.
The big bad of Man of Steel is a warmonger that wants to blow up earth to resurrect his dead people.
So that's about a tie, there.
Even the nominal joke characters in Guardians have some pretty fucked up histories. Drax's wife and children get killed; that's his entire motivation. Rocket has baggage from being a science experiment.
Guardians, without a doubt, has more light-hearted moments in it. But it definitely also has some pretty dark shit that people are willing to ignore because of the Dance Of Bro meme.
