All you people talking about a future with CGI actors everywhere should read a very old book called "Too Too Solid Flesh" by Nick O'Donohue. https://www.amazon.com/Too-Solid-Flesh-Nick-ODonohoe/dp/088038767X
It is eerily one of the most prescient novels I have ever read and is old as dirt. There are no more actors, because technology can create any famous actor from cinema history in any role you like. Want to see Orson Wells play Hannibal Lecter? Dial it up and the system will create it for you, face and voice as real as you like (almost). The story follows a group of synthetic actors performing in the last theatre on Earth to audiences of six or seven if they're lucky. It's one of the most bizarre and dark novels I have ever read.
Seriously - it's bang on for what you're discussing.
Oh, and that Guardians trailer? It has Karen Gillian in it as Nebula and it looks like Rocket gets an Otter girlfriend. I will watch. The gold dude looks stupid, though.
EDIT: @Otterly Otter up at the 1:20 mark!

And to think people made fun of Pratt for gaining a bit of weight after the first one. Jesus Christ Batista looks fat.

Aren’t most Christmas specials by nature of their being kinda cringey?

I really can't take Kang seriously. He's a black dude in stupid armour.

The best ones are. It's all part of the seasonal vibe, mixing saccharine shit with wacky antics.

They could just fly the vibranium away to different locations to avoid that, no?

Even if it wasn't shit, what do these people expect?
You can't pump out these shows at the same rate as you can comic books. Most of these characters are going to have to be part of limited series.

Seriously tho, I really wish this evil finally dies. This show did a good amount of damage to the already borderline buck broken brand value of Shulkie.
