Don't you think that was the point. This is a movie based on a comic book. Not some literary masterpiece. I don't know about others, but sometimes I watch movies to have a good time. Not to necessarily cry tears of drama or gasp at plot twists or wrap my mind around plot complexities and explore philosophical conundrums.
A movie consists of certain things. I said the main plot in this film is weak. Very weak. It was a decent film. It was very funny.
To answer your question, no, I do not think that's the point. Atleast not entirely. Do you honestly think the people who created this film thought to themselves "the plot isn't important, lets just distract them with entertainment!" ? Probably not. If I wanted nothing but a few hours of laughs, I could watch a couple stand-up specials. But GotG is a movie and will be judged as such. There's a good amount of comic book movies that actually have damn fine plots and pacing. GotG absolutely does not.
Unfortunately I wasn't trying to wrap my head around plot complexities. I was trying to wrap it around it's dumbfounding simplicity and it's bang up job of making it convoluted at the same time.
Yup, I went to the movies for a good time. And I had one. As I said, the plot was trash, the main villain was laughable, and I obviously didn't have much of a good time in between the funny bits. In fact, the film was a drag at those times. Fortunately, I didn't have to wait long before the funny was injected back into the film. The comedy and dialogue are GotG's saving grace.
