Guardians of the Galaxy Plus Spaceballs Equals...

7/22/2015

An epic space adventure starring Chris Pratt as Peter Quill as Lone Star, Lee Pace as Ronan the Accuser as Dark Helmet...wait, Rocket and Groot are both Barf, the half man, half dog?

Anyway, you get the idea. Oh my goodness. How did I not think of a Guardians of the Galaxy and Spaceballs mashup? It's so obvious! Well, not really...but now it is, looking at this masterpiece. Of course, these two movies are not at all alike, except that they're both the all to rare comedic sci-fi type. One is more serious and high stakes with a huge heart and unexpected sense of humor while the other is a gloriously goofball send-up of the genre.

UPDATE, 12/12/15

Galaxyballs by AtomicRocket is available at RiptApparel from December 11 to 14. Prices are $10 to $12 for sizes Small to 5XL, excluding 4XL. There are also posters, coasters, journals, and more. Shipping starts at $2.98.

Speaking of posters, check out the original for Spaceballs at AllPosters.com. Pretty close. I would like to see "James Gunn's" or "Marvel's" at the top left of "Galaxyballs," but there's probably some copyright issue with that. And I do miss the Dark Aster in place of the Spaceball One, but I think there wouldn't be room unless the cast was smaller. It has the Milano, though, so I'm not going to complain. This is a great shirt.

Now, can someone please do a Guardians of the Galaxy Quest mashup tee? Edit: Something like this poster by Todd Spence. I forgot this existed! But it's not for sale.
