Of all the Marvel Comics properties Disney could have put into production, The Guardians of the Galaxy had to have been the last one anybody thought would actually happen.

Starring: Ken Marino, Gillian Jacobs, Patrick Warburton, Peter Stormare and Stephen Root

Out of ideas and at the end of his rope, Duncan seeks the help of a hypnotherapist (Peter Stormare), who helps him discover the root of his unusual stomach pain: a pintsized demon living in his intestine that, triggered by excessive anxiety, forces its way out and slaughters the people who have angered him. Out of fear that his intestinal gremlin may target its wrath on the wrong person, Duncan attempts to befriend it, naming it Milo and indulging it to keep its seemingly insatiable appetite at bay. – (Source)

This Man Might Be The New Batman

Derek

Of course this could all be nonsense and Morgan’s name is just being … Continue reading This Man Might Be The New Batman
