## Synopsis

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy (2015-2019) is a US animated space adventure and superhero series created for Disney XD, adapted from Marvel's comic team. Peter Quill, the brash adventurer who calls himself Star-Lord (voiced by Will Friedle), leads a ragtag crew of misfits: the raccoon marksman Rocket (Trevor Devall), the tree-like Groot (Kevin Michael Richardson), the lethal fighter Gamora (Vanessa Marshall) and the rough-edged warrior Drax the Destroyer (David Sobolov). Their engine is simple and propulsive: the crew takes on jobs and rescues across the cosmos, each episode pitting them against a new galactic menace while their bickering and loyalty to one another keeps the banter flowing. The show runs three seasons spanning roughly seventy-seven episodes of about twenty-two minutes each, a serialized space opera that layers ongoing threats across its story. Its tone is breezy, playful and comforting, with wisecracks and running jokes sitting beside earnest moments of found family. Set in a sprawling science fiction universe full of alien worlds and warring empires, it has the flavor of Teen Titans and The Clone Wars, and fans of The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes will find familiar superhero team energy.
