Nice! When I first read of the basic premise and background of GotG years ago, I shook my head and thought: "That's so stupid. A talking raccoon in a world of superheroes?!"
Gunn himself revealed in interviews that he even he had doubts about how to make a "Loony Tunes" character work in the world of Ironman, Captain American and co. Despite that, he did a fantastic job and I became a fan. Good to see him back.
But...
... it's still weird to think that, in theory, we could have Jon Bernthal's hard-ass Punisher fighting alongside Bradley Cooper's Rocket. I hope we never see that...

As much as it would be cool for the Marvel show characters to be in the movies alongside these other heroes we love so much, I was completely fine with them being seperate entities to be honest. I wouldn't want them toned down just to fit with the PG-13 rating of the films.

I agree which is why I'm glum over the idea of these characters exiting Netflix.
I'm worried that the current actors and stories will be dumped in favour of a complete re-boot when we see them again. It might be that contractually Disney/Marvel won't be allowed to use elements/stories of the previous series.
I'd also rather that they stay separate from the movie characters and movie plots for the reasons we both agree on. Their series are more about drama than over-the-top cosmic soap opera and I like it that way.
I'd be okay with certain movie characters stepping into their world... for example, Black Widow since she's not really a super-powered being, just a highly trained field agent.
