It's always cool to see a creator so passionate about their universe, and Gunn's spin-off ideas sound like they could’ve added a lot of depth to the Guardians lore. But with him moving to DC, I’m really curious about how the Guardians will evolve without his touch—there's definitely a lot of potential still hanging out there
