For me, one of the surprise hits from the Marvel Cinematic Universe was the original Guardians of the Galaxy. A goofy comic book concept that I had never known and whose trailers left me skeptical became one of my all-time favorite movies. From that point on the Guardians have been highlights of the movies and shows that they've been in. Their run of movies ended (or transformed) with this year's Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3--which was, itself, an excellent film that is a close second to their original debut.
I wanted to have a marathon of their movies this summer, but timing--including the timing of the DVD release of Vol. 3--made it so that was not to be. I've considered watching them as part of my birthday tradition, but to do them justice requires watching the three main movies, the two Avengers movies that had them, the holiday special, and (at least) 10 minutes of Thor: Love and Thunder. Even without the full Thor movie, that's about 14 hours of movie watching. Normally, that would not be a problem for me, but all of my children (and grandchildren) will be up here for my 50th birthday, and it's already been heavily suggested that we should not spend that amount of time just watching one series of movies while they are here.
I've given some thought to spending a Saturday just sitting back and enjoying them, but I've not had a lot of spare time this school year thus far. I might just save this event for a day during spring break or perhaps even summer break. Still, I took the time to plan out the timings, so I thought that I would share them just in case someone else wants to watch them.
