What was with a showing of the Expendables in this movie? I was surprised to see Sylvester Stallone and wondered how that casting came up. Anyone have ideas?

However, I think GoTG can stand alone. Great characters.

(12,635 posts)Star Hawk, Yondu, Charlie 27, Mainframe, etc were a couple decades out before Star Lord, Nebula, Drax, etc., And they originally were supposed to be around year 3000 or so.
Gunn apparently decided it would make better movie/ continuity sense for them to be in charge of the Ravagers, and set "real time" at around 2014, which is when GotG vol 2 is set.
