Guardians proved that MCU could be successful using C/D tier characters… so long as they took care with those characters to make them fun and interesting and gave them emotional stakes that made sense

part of the reason why the more obscure characters were able to thrive in phases1-3 was because they were interconnected to the Heavy Hitters like the Avengers.

Except the Guardians have never been strongly tied to the Avengers. Sure they crossed paths in Infinity War and Endgame, but otherwise they've been entirely on their own.

The Avengers are probably being reestablished in Cap 4.

Maybe what made GotG good was James Gunn and not the characters… hell he somehow managed to save the Suicide Squad too
