Also - from the early reports about Adam Warlock, I have zero FOMO about selling my minty Marvel Premiere / Warlock set 8 years ago.

Feel like a lot of Warlock speculators are going to be sorely disappointed.

Based on how the Marvel movies and shows have been received in Phase 4 (and so far Phase 5), I find people "speculating" on the movies/shows to get a "pop in prices" rather funny.  That worked great in the early phases but I don't see it staying like that.

Yeah - but the Warlock speculation's been interesting to watch.

The Guardians vol. 2 cocoon cameo and name-check aside, both Warlock and Moon Knight keys have been on a speculative tear for like 7 years each, mostly because of the lack of confirmed media.

At a certain point, folks realized they were basically the two biggest Marvel Bronze heroes left that *hadn't* had definitive MCU appearances, so the books just kept increasing because they had to appear sometime, right? (see the last 2-3 years with Silver Surfer as well.)

I haven't tracked Werewolf 32's value since Moon Knight Season 1 has now come and gone, but I imagine it's fallen a bit from its peak.

Infinity Gauntlet and its related books were fundamental to my childhood comic collecting, and Warlock 1-15 was probably the first Bronze title I completed in high school - I *loved* those books - and regret selling my CGC 9.6 copy of Marvel Premiere 1.

So...after all that (and his notable omission from Infinity War), we finally get Warlock in Guardians 3 and - per the Mashable reviewer - he's played for *laughs*?

:facepalm:

Not too keen on that prospect either, as I’ve always liked Warlock for being very deep, intense and melancholic, as written by Starlin.

But, we’ll see, even if it isn’t the characterisation I’ve been into since I first read the books back in the 70s, through to the more recent Infinity GN Trilogy.

Based on the review that media_junkie posted, I think I'll wait for the Blu-ray.

I think I'll wait until Hell freezes over.

Nothing to do with Marvel or DC. That review made the movie sound like a real downer, but don't worry it has comic relief from Adam Warlock. It might technically be a great film, but it doesn't sound like a movie for me. And I love the Guardian movies (yes, even the second one).

:cry:

They seem to want to make every character to be Peter Parker ... this just won't work for Warlock .... why does every studio exec have to be so intellectually under developed ? GOD BLESS ...

Whoa!

Gitesh is Mr. MCU with box office analysts, and always rates them high. This was not the reaction I expected.

(shrug)

"Mostly for MCU faithful", that tells me everything I need to know about the movie.  It is more of the same.  This is at best a D+ watch for me.
