GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY The Animated Series Fan Ideas & Voice Cast
There have been talk that Marvel’s newest team GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY may come to life in there own animated show, here is my idea for the show including what characters should appear and the people that would give a to voice them.
Hello everyone, welcome to a very special fan article. Regarding the Guardians of The Galaxy, there has been talks they may receive a very a special animated series. I would definitely be looking forward to that seeing some of the characters come to life. It would also be a great opportunity to explore deeper within Marvel’s own cosmic roots. As Marvel within animation can use a much wider variety of characters they can’t in the live action films and there is a much bigger opportunity to come within storylines and development. As much as I am a fan of the current Marvel animated shows I believe a change should be in order to make this come to life. Staring with….

THE ANIMATION STYLE: We all love animation, well in relative context there is many different categories of animation. Most of which we see today is mainly CGI and quick hand-drawn style. But one thing I greatly miss about animation is the gritty hand-drawn style that made many things come to life within the 80s such as Transformers and G.I.Joe. It’s a style of animation that still holds up to today. This is what they should bring back.

Next up that should be another main focus altogether…

EPISODES/LENGTH – ANIMATED MOVIE PREQUEL : A standard animated show is 30 minutes in length which should be already set. I believe before the animated show Marvel should release a Guardians of The Galaxy Animated Film prequel to the animated show itself. It would be a nice compliment to it and would be a great introduction to the characters. It was also done before previously with 2008’s Star Wars: The Clone Wars which had an animated film prequel before the actual animated television show.

THE STORYLINES: As everyone should know there are two different teams of Guardians of The Galaxy including the newest illustration. I think it would be great to have stories from both of the eras as it does not need to follow the film directly. You would have stories from the original and the new Guardians of The Galaxy teams including potential crossover episodes. Then also having other Marvel characters making guest appearances including Iron Man and Captain America making the world even more bridged and connected.
________________________________________________________
CHARACTERS: There are many Marvel characters they could use directly in animation they can’t in live action. The live action film rights to characters are different from the animation rights. So the character possibilities are endless, but I decided to focus on what would be the main characters within the voice cast below.
________________________________________________________
CHARACTER DESIGNS: Despite some of the character designs within the films are different from the comics, I say it should be kept in tact. If the character is set to appear within the upcoming Guardians of The Galaxy film and has a specific new design or look to them it should be translated to animated form.
________________________________________________________
TONE: While Marvel animation could sometimes get really dark, they are often very fun in tone and light. It should have the same balance as to what the film version of Guardians of The Galaxy brings towards.

Finally last but not least…
________________________________________________________
VOICE FAN CAST: This is basically a cast of characters and actors/actresses I feel would be appropriate to voice them. I know some people may find some of the choices very strange, but Guardians of The Galaxy is a strange concept altogether. It shouldn't feel old but it should feel new. Like a breath of fresh air. Not to entirely reinvent all the characters within the voices but to shed the characters a new light. I also choice actors/actresses that would have potential to be in a project of this level. The characters, as much would suite the persona being given.

THE NEW GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY TEAM
Star-Lord who will be played by Chris Pratt in the upcoming film is the main team leader. Described as an arrogant and rogue type person including a major self centered personality, Seth MacFarlane would be perfect for the voice role. With him being a professional voice actor and being experienced in character types as this.
________________________________________________________
Gamora who will be played by Zoe Saldana in the upcoming film is said to be the adopted daughter of Thanos. The main reason why I picked Valorie Curry for the voice was because of the television show The Following where she plays this great female villain.
________________________________________________________
Drax the Destroyer who will be played by Dave Bautista in the upcoming film is a green skinned and mean space warrior. I searched long and hard for a voice that would perfect within the animated series for this character and my search ended with Gilles Marini. He voiced a great character in an animated short film.
________________________________________________________
Groot who will be played by Vin Diesel in the upcoming film is the brute force of the team also being a giant walking tree. I thought who else could say the words “I AM GROOT” so perfectly, and then I looked up this brilliant actor Peter Capaldi who will also be playing the new Dr.Who.
________________________________________________________
Rocket Raccoon who will be played by Bradley Cooper in the upcoming film is the team’s furry and cute yet deadly companion. This choice was submitted by Comic Book Movie user, “MCott”. H. Jon Benjamin is known for many voice acting roles so it’s hard to pick only one, but here is a sample of who he is.

Now for a quick roll through the other voice casting I think would be perfect for the tone of the show. I do not know much about these characters but when it comes to acting and especially voice acting that needs to be the strongest element within it all.
