Marvel's GotG Writers Had No Comedy Experience But Made a Hilarious Game
Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy is one of the funniest video games in recent memory, but the writing team at developer Eidos Montreal had virtually no comedy experience when they started working on it. Last year’s surprise superhero hit gained much praise for its excellent plot and writing, which explored the minds and backstories of Peter “Star-Lord” Quill and his fellow Guardians Of The Galaxy as they struggled to hold together against the sinister Universal Church Of Truth and their plan to brainwash the entire Marvel Universe.
Unsurprisingly, the team spends as much time bickering with each other as they do gunning down enemies in Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy, leading to some excellent character moments and recurring jokes — such as Peter accusing the others of keeping the Milano’s refrigerator door open, only for GOTG voice actor Jon McClaren to reveal that it was Peter himself that’s doing it. Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy's character dialogue system and mid-battle “Huddle Up” mechanic can provide even more of these moments, allowing players to have Peter react to certain situations in hilariously inappropriate ways or deliver team-rallying speeches that fall completely flat in the heat of combat. Just like James Gunn’s critically acclaimed Guardians Of The Galaxy movies, there is no shortage of laughs to be found while blasting through Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy — and one might be convinced that the writers crafting the game’s script were seasoned comedy scribes of the highest caliber.
