The Specials (2000)

If we jump into the future, we find The Specials, written by none other than James Gunn (the guy you should thank for Guardians of the Galaxy). Shot in 18 days on a minimum budget, The Specials is in fact the slowest action-superhero movie, in the sense that it presents the superheroes on their day off.

The characters are, nonetheless, regular superheroes with pretty awesome superpowers.

The satire was praised its unique approach of the superhero genre, particularly for the dynamic of the group. It is a must, if you want to see how James Gunn evolved until now.
