Watch the Cast of “Guardians of the Galaxy” Get Schooled By a 5 Year-Old

Guardians_of_the_Galaxy_46(PCM) How well do you know your Guardians of the Galaxy trivia? Better than a 5 year-old? 

The cast of Guardians of the Galaxy was schooled last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live by Marvel comics expert 5 year-old Mia Grace as she beat them all to the buzzer question after question.

Jimmy Kimmel invited Mia Grace to a trivia-off against the cast, including Chris Pratt who plays Star Lord Peter Quill, Zoe Saldana who plays Gamora, Dave Bautista who plays Drax, Bradley Cooper who plays the voice of Rocket, and Vin Diesel who plays the voice of Groot.

Mia handed it to the cast pretty bad and didn’t seem to really face much competition, but who really wants to be beat a 5 year-old on national television?

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 – Film Review: The Amazing Truth, See It But It’s Not Canon

(PCM) – This is a detailed spoiler-free review of Spider-Man 2.

Spider-Man is now The Amazing Spider-Man with Andrew Garfield as the hero Peter Parker. In the first reboot we were encouraged by what appeared to be a more accurate retelling of Spider-Man in the Marvel universe. In this second episode we find many elements such as Daily Bugle editor J. Jonah Jamison are missing and while it has not entirely diverged from canon, The Amazing Spider-Man reboot is falling apart as a faithful representation. There are homage’s to the comic book series such as the iconic time of (1:21 am) for those in the know. There is also Gwen Stacy being dressed in film and standing in settings exactly as drawn in comic book panels giving the impression director Marc Webb wants to deliver a Spider-Man that true believers will accept.
