3 and Eva Green lying dead in Casino Royale, pictured side by side. Lylla lying on the floor in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. After losing his parents - Andrew and Monique - in a fatal climbing accident, the good Commander would eventually drift through life as an orphan, with his loved ones only coming in the form of his adopted family. While we didn’t really learn about the cinematic James Bond’s childhood trauma until Skyfall and Spectre, what we did find out adhered to his Ian Fleming-crafted backstory. Losing his actual family, and then his chosen family from the High Evoutionary’s Batch 89, shaped him in such a way that he never truly shook the tragedy until later in life. 3 finally revealed the trauma that caused Rocket Raccoon to become the embittered “secret protagonist” with trust issues. By flashing back to the latter's unfortunate loss of innocence as a kit, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. Loss Generally Forms Both Characters From Their Early YearsĪnother foundational similarity sees both 007 and 89P13 defined by another common thread: childhood loss. 3 mirrors Craig's era of James Bond.īaby Rocket looking very concerned in his cage in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. So grab your refreshing drink of choice, and prepare to learn how Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. In fact, there’s even a moment that involves Rocket executing his own take on a classic Bond series hallmark. The way both characters have been developed over their respective films has led to a surprising handful of strong parallels. However, that’s exactly what happened as I watched James Gunn’s new Marvel movie, thanks to certain elements of my favorite Guardian connecting to things that happened in the most recent era of 007 adventures. While looking back at the journey that Rocket Raccoon has taken throughout the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, I didn’t expect to find parallels between Bradley Cooper’s Marvel Cinematic Universe character and the James Bond from the era of Daniel Craig. If you haven’t seen either, and want to avoid any surprises, you’ve been warned. 3, and the entire run of Daniel Craig’s James Bond movies, are all in play. Warning: Spoilers for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and Daniel Craig pictured sitting in No Time To Die, side by side. Rocket Raccoon pictured at steering controls in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.

Fantastic piece of kit, but way too much going on and the documentation is pretty awful.Īs always the are plenty of blogs suggesting this and that, but a lot quite clearly have not bothered to understand the technology or the end user experience. I am almost at home with ffmpeg and the whole encoding thing now. If we really need flv my first bet would be to batch remux the mp4 using:įfmpeg -i INPUT -c:v copy -c:a copy OUTPUT.flv So we shouldn't need to reencode to flv, and this player says it will automate the fallback if you provide just standard mp4 and webm html5 code - so might be one to look for on wordpress I was reading the flash wiki and since 2009 at least it can play back mp4 files. Handbrake (nightly builds - ffmpeg frontend - mp4/mkv only) Optimise for web using mp4box, qt-faststart.exe, or while encoding (e.g. Mkvtoonix (for windows) - tools for MKV: has muxer frontend. NeroAAC to encode AAC (I use my media player foobar2000 as a convertor frontend for this)Īacgain (alternative to mp4 gain - losless normalisation of sound already muxed into an mp4) Windows live movie maker is probably good as long as the conversion is a straight forward one. SolveigMM AVI Trimmer + MKV 2 (was freeware when I got it.) Seemed to be able to crop/trim MKV containers and edit a frame accuracy better than other tools (Still a last choice if avidemux etc work fine)įFMPEG - great allinone encoder (see above notes) VirtualDub (the is a mp4 import plugin that is good, and the beta versions allow setting up external tools so mp4 output may be available )Īvisynth - the beast of video manipulation (if you like scripting - see Doom9 forum for advice) (useful with a frameserver ) Watch out for strange aac flutter at beginning of videos if you use this to encode the audio as well) AviDemux - Great all rounder(2.5 as 2.6 crashes all the time for me.
