7 Reasons The Guardians Of The Galaxy Shouldn't Be In Avengers: Infinity War

When we last saw Star-Lord and the gang they were safely aboard the Milano, jetting off through the stars in search of adventure. This ending opened hundreds and thousands of doors; the crew, fully formed, ready to explore every nook and cranny the universe has to offer, giving audiences something wildly different from all the Earth-based action finales that plague every other MCU entry.

So how boring would it be if they ended up in a London tube station fighting Thanos's army?

The galaxy is a pretty huge place, with a near-infinite amount of stories to explore. Not only is it incredibly unlikely that the Guardians would land back on Earth - it's also needless. Earth is the Avengers' territory, and the Guardians - as their name implies - should be on the lookout for trouble around the galaxy. Earth is already defended!

In short, the Guardians showing up to fight on Earth goes against the reason for the series being established in the first place. Marvel wished to expand their cosmic universe with Guardians Of The Galaxy, something that the Thor franchise had touched upon previously (before heading to the aforementioned tube station). The studio wants their universe to expand, which is great for us viewers - but it's not so great when it expands... back to Earth. Again.
