Guardians was an origin story. The characters were pretty unkown before the movie. They were not thrown in an avengers movie for their introduction. Heck, they have 2 movies and haven't crossed over yet. |
Guardians was their Avengers movie. None of them had individual movies - they were thrown in an Avengers-style movie for their introduction. As you say, they were unknowns - even more reason to each have their own origin movies.
