8) A Face Full Of Color
Sure, The Avengers had every color of the rainbow in their repertoire, but they were all very stark colors that we’re used to seeing on our superheroes. Our Guardian friends, however, are all wearing the gaudiest, clashiest colors possible. But like a piece of modern art, or one of Jackson Pollock’s drip paintings, it comes together in a controlled chaos that makes it, well, artistically modern and current. Don’t believe me? Head on over to the nearest museum of modern art and get back to me later.
The color scheme is composed of mostly rusted scarlets and purples that give off a vintage dream-like quality, which becomes futuristic when scattered with the neon greens and yellows; very atypical of a Marvel film. Every scene vibrates with color, especially amongst the emptiness of the moonage daydream space. Like a master at work, when ships fly or trees grow, splashes of color brighten up the dark palette that we’re so used to seeing in typical Marvel films.
