However you feel about the Marvel movie juggernaut, the sheer magnitude of what it has achieved so far is impressive. An interconnected universe of 23 movies (and counting), populated with both extremely recognisable Marvel comics characters, and some that would have quite frankly only inspired a Djimon Hounsou-intoned “who??” before they were retooled for the big screen. In the 00s, you’d need to have cast a wide net to find a lot of people heavily into Guardians of the Galaxy, but now even your mum can probably name them all and tell you why Rocket is her favourite.

I’m all business.” And then Scotty’s like, “You know what, girl? My heart’s all broken, and I’ll probably never find love again. But damn, if I want to kiss you!” But then you fast-forward and they’re all like into each other, right? And then Scotty’s like, “You know what, I can’t tell you this, but I’m gonna go trashing the airport with Captain America!” Then she said, “I can’t believe you split like that! Smell you later, dummy!” So Scotty goes on house arrest, and he won’t admit it, but his heart’s all like, “Damn! I thought Hope could’ve been my new true partner. But I blew it!” But fate brought them back together, and then Hope’s heart is all, “I’m worried that I can’t trust him. And he’s gonna screw up again and ruin everything.” And in my heart, it’s all like, “That fancy raspberry filling represents the company’s rent. And we’re days away from going out of business! Oooh!”
