Spoiler
Raj's +1 is his friend, Muffy, who is very knowledgeable in things pop culture. She shares her thoughts (she doesn't know this 100%). Guardians is the one with Chris Pratt, the green girl, the tree guy, the raccoon, and the big guy (Raj, "Yeah I think that's what they're called"). The Avengers are The Hulk, Iron Man, and the "big hits." She narrows it down to A & D and is leaning toward A because there are a lot of them and considers being a mutant is coded language for being gay in the comic book world. She admits she knows nothing about The Justice League (Raj says he thinks they're DC).

Spoiler
A: X-Men

7K: ATA

10K: Book on Osage being killed for their $$ was out this summer.

20K: I know nothing about billiard scores. Let's pretend I recall 8-ball is solid. I might still call +1 on this for assurance those below 8 also solid.

30K: Justice League is DC comics. As a kid I hated the crudely drawn & mostly-stupid Marvel chars. Have seen 1st Spiderman movie, & read about X-Men, who at least sound interesting. Hope I remember promos for Guardian movies with animals in them. Though you could have a gay animal. Think I'd remember Avengers were the big-time chars I loathed as a kid. By the way, latest Thor movie has Hela/Hel as Loki's sister when according to Norse mythology she's his daughter.

My knowledge of actual Norse mythology instead of Marvel's could bite me, but not on this Q. Go for X-Men.
