my fav part of gotg was when peter quill told that alien girl “i honestly forgot you were even here.”

it’s like james gunn was talking directly to me, a girl in the audience who was trying to enjoy the media he clearly created for only the boys in the audience.

#yup#yuuuuuup#maybe i’ve just watched too much parks and rec#but peter never struck me as a convincing ladies’ man#chris pratt is too much of a dweeb to pull that off#and it felt super shoehorned in#like the other sexist bullshit#gotg spoilers (via pearwaldorf)

the thing that super annoys me is that i REALLY DOUBT they cast chris pratt WITHOUT taking parks & rec into consideration like, why else would you cast him??? if you’re going for lulzy douchebag, there are WAY better casting choices. huge chunks of the script - the opening scene, his obsession with the tape player, the dance-off, etc etc - point to wanting him to be kind of a lulzy, endearing perma-child who’s stuck in the past and that role WORKS, okay, chris pratt is CHARMING AS HELL as that type of dude!!! but then you just have the random fratty humor and ugh, why? it would’ve been just as good and in-character and NOT MISOGYNISTIC if he’d been like “omg [name] i am SO SORRY i was late for a THING and i um [mumble] i kind of forgot anyone was down there” like COME ON MAN THROW US A FUCKING BONE INSTEAD OF YOUR SHITTY ASS BONER

#and it felt super shoehorned in

come on, that’s not fair, James Gunn had to get his name on there as a writing credit SOMEHOW

#THROW US A FUCKING BONE INSTEAD OF YOUR SHITTY ASS BONER
