12 Marvel Mistakes Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2 Must Avoid

5. Not Respecting Hardcore Fans

Marvel Studios have caught flak over the years for their inconsistent approach to respecting the source comics. Though they've nailed the essence of the central heroes, fans are still mad about the Mandarin switcharoo in Iron Man 3, not to mention the Maximoffs not being mutants, and countless radical aesthetic changes to characters.

It doesn't seem like GOTG2 is going to be much more faithful than Marvel's usual approach, given that Star-Lord's father has been retconned as Ego the Living Planet, but Guardians is also a far more niche property than, say, Iron Man, so it's sure to go down a little easier.

Still, not screwing with the source material much would be nice.
