When Chris Pratt was cast in “Guardians of the Galaxy” in 2014, it seemed like a smart counterintuitive decision to bring the goofy sitcom guy from “Parks and Recreation” into a Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbuster. Now 12 years later, any resemblance to the goofy sitcom guy is almost entirely gone, and Pratt is a one-note grim action hero, not only in Marvel movies but also in the “Jurassic World” franchise and forgettable big-budget streaming tentpoles like “The Tomorrow War” and “The Electric State.”
