Where was Carol during the Battle of New York or Ultron's attack? Also, waiiaminute — did you say Skrulls?
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is super-loaded with 1980s righteousness, so it should come as no surprise that even its freaking DVD/Blu-ray ad went the same route. We at io9 try to avoid posting commercials in general, so we find it deeply irksome that this one is so fun we felt we had to share it with you anyway.

If you're looking to get along better with your kids, maybe it's time to fire up the games console that's sitting under your TV.

Fox's first X-Men movie paved the way for the current age of comic book movies that we're living in.
