The Marvel Cinematic Universe has some of the most devoted fans in the entire world. They enjoy arguing, debating, and speculating about anything and everything that has to do with their preferred superheroes. So when James Gunn recently stated that his Guardians of the Galaxy films could easily beat The Avengers films, fans went totally mad at him.
James Gunn, who is renowned for his witty comments and teasers on social media, is undoubtedly one of the funniest directors. In both the DCEU and MCU, he has contributed to some of the best projects. For the former, examples include The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker, and for the latter, the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise.
The 56-year-old filmmaker’s last release was his third and final installment of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, or MCU.
Because the fan bases of Marvel and DC are frequently at odds, the director had a difficult time satisfying both the disgruntled DC fans and settling the score. And especially this time, right after he claimed that the Guardians of the Galaxy films can easily defeat The Avengers.
James Gunn Thinks The Guardians of the Galaxy ‘Would Beat the Sh*t Out of The Avengers’
Superman: Legacy, the first big movie from James Gunn and Peter Safran‘s DC Studios slate, is already in the early stages of pre-production.
This will be Gunn’s first significant endeavor as co-CEO of DC Studios, which will depict the beginning of his professional life in Metropolis. For the unversed, the filmmaker has left his work with Marvel Studios in the past because he is now a full-time co-CEO at DC Studios.
However, it does not mean that he has finished talking about the Marvel Studios characters.
Recently, on his friend Michael Rosenbaum’s podcast, Inside if You, Gunn discussed who would win in a fight between the iconic superhero characters from the Avengers and the Guardians. And he revealed:
“Listen, I always thought that the Guardians would beat the s**t out of the Avengers easily. Like, it’s just they’re from outer space. They have technology that is pretty advanced, so it would be hard to beat them.”
How Did The Fans React After James Gunn’s Comment?
For the benefit of those who may not be familiar, the Guardians of the Galaxy films are a group of outcast heroes that consists of Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket, and Groot. They can defeat even the most formidable foes, thanks to their special combination of abilities and unbreakable bonds.
Meanwhile, The Avengers are made up of some of the most well-known Marvel characters, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and the Hulk, to name just a few. They have also proven to be a powerful force, preventing the end of the world on many occasions.
So who’s the best? Discussions like these can become quite heated, as is often the case in fandoms. In the end, though, there are distinct reasons why fans love both teams. The ‘Avengers’ are admired for their bravery and heroism, whereas the ‘Guardians’ are cherished for their wit and heart.
In the end, it really does not matter which team would win; what matters is that we get to see both of them on a big screen.
Let’s see what fans have to say:
Thor would solo the whole team

Sorry James but I gotta disagree on this one. Maybe if they have Adam Warlock they would stand a chance. Still Thor and Hulk (especially in their prime) would likely crush most of the Guardians. Now…if we put them against a version with Professor Hulk and Drunk Fat Thor…

At the end of the day, it is important to remember that these arguments are merely a component of the enjoyment of being a fan. Regardless of whether you support the ‘Guardians’ or the ‘Avengers’, we can all agree that Marvel movies are among the best entertainment available.
Therefore, let us relish the experience and be grateful that we get to see some of the most recognizable superheroes on the big screen.
Anyway, you can watch Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which is currently playing in theaters!
