You only need to see the screenshot to realize that 'Howard the Duck' is a special movie. Full-size duck puppets?! It's a marvel (no pun intended) of film making. To think that this was back in the '80s when no Marvel movies were really being made and they went ahead and greenlit THIS ONE? It's amazing the risks they were willing to take. All because of cocaine. Thanks, cocaine! You made the '80s great for cinema (and also ruined a lot of lives).
'Howard the Duck' can be seen in 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' but he doesn't look the same as his original movie. I prefer the semi-realistic-looking puppet. There's something about it being physically there that makes it much more powerful, even if they can't do all the flips and crazy acrobatics. As much as I love Rocket Raccoon, I'd love to see him as a puppet.
