Yooo

#

I scrolled through a few of the reviews

#

Looks like it’s gonna be divisive

strange oak

#

Yeah the bad reviews are really bad

strange oak
#

Gave it a 5/10 which like ouch.

#

I'll watch Chris Stuckmann's review later, he usually has similar taste to me

#

So if he hated it I'll be worried

rigid roost
#

watching it Thursday 😭

#

My dad's gonna be traveling for work when this comes out, and I probably won't go see this twice with two different groups like I did the first two. So I'll probably wait untilater in the month.

#

Is anything else coming out late May that would take over the large formats?

#

may 19 or something like that

pine garden
#

I'm also, moreso than dreading that the movie isn't good, dreading that the movie is going to turn out really sad in a way I'm not prepared for.

#

I have a feeling that Gunn can pull his hat trick, even if the Russos made it as hard as possible. But that might also be copium for the Marvels, which is going to make $5 if Guardians 3 bombs.

#

are you not prepared for the most speculated thing? Or do you think there’s a chance that something else happens

pine garden
#

Nothing specific.

#

I got spoiled by the Ramos guy

#

It got retweeted cause someone dunked on him

#

dont read the tweets

strange oak
#

Enjoy! Give us your thoughts after!

#

Also watched Stuckmann's review, which was....mostly positive. I remain optimistic.

#

Is it better than Vol 2?

I’m hype

I got the GOTG drip dogespin

strange oak
#

Its not even the offical release date of the movie and I already am seeing ending explained articles lmao

#

Yeah, but still like why post ending explained articles today rather than wait 2-3 days. Write them for sure, but posting them this early is useless imo at least.

#

Yeah but small percentage of people go see on Thursday I feel. Especially since I’d say most people go after 6 pm anyways if they do, so most people are still in theaters I’d say. Idk again, I just think its stupid to post it so early. This is /film though which has been going downhill since Peter went and became a Disneyland influencer lol.

#

See to me again, the logic doesn’t make sense. If only lets say 10% of people see it today, wouldn’t it be better to post it Saturday night when lets say 45% of people have seen it and maybe 15% are leaving theaters? Thats my thought process, have something out then when more people have seen film and will see it right on front page, versus now and they have to look for it.

#

I’m gonna do a google on Saturday now just to see how far up with SLO this article comes, my bet is newer articles come up first.

#

My east coast friends have been texting me already about how good it is

#

The articles are out for east coast for sure

just got home

#

very good trilogy cap

#

agree that High Evolutionary himself was whatever, but Chuk is great and did what he needed to to serve Rocket's story

quasi kite
acoustic coral
#

I did not cry lol

#

I came close with the rocket in kinda heaven & Peter meeting his grandfather

#

And yeah, high evolutionary very whatever

#

I love Cosmo

#

I just want to go home and squeeze my cats and give them pets

#

Also - love the hallway fight scene with the entire team

#

Adam Warlock is a joy

quiet isle
#

Good ending to the trilogy. I only cringed a little bit at the humor. Very heartfelt and emotional though.

#

Also that Magic Spoon Cereal product placement was very conspicuous.

dapper locust
#

Adam Warlock had no reason to be in this movie

#

Did I miss something? Like he was actually just kinda…there

acoustic coral
#

Okay but counter point Gunn actually follows up threads planted in other movies

#

Like it’s better than him just not using the teaser lol

#

They needed someone who was OP but neutered by being a child

dapper locust
#

On the one hand I can appreciate that, on the other hand it really felt like he was just obligated to use him

acoustic coral
#

Which is what they often do with characters that are OP in these films lol

#

See: killing groot in the first one, everything with yondus arrow

dapper locust
#

I kept forgetting he was in the movie until he popped up every twenty minutes for like 1 minute

#

And it sucks cause I actually really liked him

#

I just figured he was the main bad guy tbh.

#

Overall it was fine, but I really think 2 is the better one. I gotta say, none of them dying surprised me

#

I gotta stop listening to Marvel actors say, OH I THINK THIS IS MY LAST ONE. I fall for it everytime and its legit just them trying to get a better contract lol

mystic gazelle
#

Damn that tugged on my heartstrings so damn much

acoustic coral
#

I was surprised no one died and I didn’t like that they glossed over draxs wound. But I think Peter should have died at the end lol

dapper locust
#

I want a rocket solo movie

acoustic coral
#

They’re definitely setting Adam up for another movie

dapper locust
#

Thank god lol

mystic gazelle
#

I'm kinda glad they didn't kill anyone, but I'm surprised too

dapper locust
#

Gimme more please Marvel

#

Idk the more Im thinking about it, the more I think it was a mistake hyping this as the big emotional farewell when its really not that. Like sure, some of them kinda leave at the end, but they’re GOING to come back

mystic gazelle
#

I... actually kinda disagree.

#

It was right around Act 3 where it felt like the movie was being setup as a curtain call and it certainly still feels so. I think it's because the underlying theme of GOTG is "found family" and you have this cast of ragtag characters kinda going off and doing their own thing now.

Also probably as a farewell for James Gunn as a director in the MCU

#

We're probably gonna see Star Lord again. . . Warlock. Maybe the new iteration of the Rocket-led Guardians

#

But I think both Dave Bautista and Zoe Saldana are on record saying they intend this to be the last time they portray the characters.

#

Granted, we won't know what'll happen in the future and that's fair!

#

But I think the way this whole thing was directed was as a "If this is it, this is it." And it's clear a lot of love went into it.

dapper locust
#

Definitely Gunns last movie

mystic gazelle
#

Again, who knows what's gonna happen in the future (and I saw the post credits scene so 100000000000% is fair lmao)

#

Tho to be fair I'm not as excited about Star Lord going off doing his own franchise...

#

I guess it feels less like "the characters are going away" because they're clearly not

#

But this is James Gunn's farewell.

shadow tree
#

adam warlock got shafted by being involved in the MCU after the infinity saga ended

mystic gazelle
#

I guess we can call, specifically, a James Gunn directed GOTG movie with the original Guardians, practically nil at this point.

shadow tree
#

like, book Adam is the soul stone

#

and is nothing without it

#

should i have known who the kid in the team at the end was supposed to be

#

like it was one of the evolutionary kids but she had captain marvel hands

dapper locust
#

I thought FOR SURE he was gonna be in one of the Avengers movies

shadow tree
#

also it's funny just seeing Gunn's perma-cast grow

#

Sean Gunn, now Chuk and his wife and Daniela Melchior

mystic gazelle
#

Lol

#

I loved Peacemaker so

#

I'm not complaining

quiet isle
mystic gazelle
#

If you've got the platform, might as well try to prop up your own collaborators to higher heights yknow

shadow tree
#

i didn't even recognize Melchior during the movie

#

had to look up who she was

mystic gazelle
#

It took me some time. . .

quiet isle
mystic gazelle
#

But they kept showing her and it took me a bit to remember she was Gunn's wife

shadow tree
#

his wife was the security person

#

melchior was the manager who got the file out

mystic gazelle
#

Mmmm sorry yeah

#

Melchior was also rat-catcher in the suicide squad yeah?

#

AGAIN HIS PERMA CAST GROWS

shadow tree
#

Yeah

acoustic coral
#

How did you guys interpret groots line at the end:

  1. Groot learning other words
  2. The audience understanding groot
rigid roost
#

Shit that was good

#

For that I'm going with 2

#

Because it sounded EXTREMELY Vin Diesel and not like Groot

quiet isle
#

Definitely 2.

acoustic coral
#

Personally I took it as #1 as part of the evolution of their love for each other as they grow closer to a family. Beedont took it as #2 and hated it lol

rigid roost
#

Also since it was right after Gamora understood him too

acoustic coral
#

I thought old gamora understood him tho at some point? and that was showing her growth

dapper locust
#

I took it as #1 since we have already heard him say different words. I mean, it was only We, but still

acoustic coral
#

Personally I like my interpretation as it’s less 4th wall breaking 😂

This movie actually almost got me

neon pebble
#

I’m probably going to circle back to reread more of the comments but just a couple thoughts. 1. I’m very glad Gunn subverted expectorations and did not kill any of them though you could say he did kill rocket but brought him back. 2. Cosmo is the best. 3. I like that they set up for a future for the Guardians but also let the chapter close so they don’t need to come back.

acoustic coral
#

I giggle that Chris Pratt is the only one who doesn’t seem done

#

But I mean he’s the only one not in make up or fully CGI lmao

quaint halo
#

Cosmo is a GOOD DOG

acoustic coral
#

The good dog bad dog bit might by my favorite in the whole movie

quaint halo
#

I loved it

#

Every time it came up I laughed

acoustic coral
#

Same lol

quaint halo
#

Especially when she talked about the Russians

#

Sending her into space

#

At least they never called her a bad dog

acoustic coral
#

Also Beedont said that when Rocket is holding all the baby racoons that's me at the animal shelter kekW

quasi kite
#

I can’t think about this movie too hard without crying Lmao

#

Another Florence and the machine song that’s gonna bring me instantly to tears

#

It’s funny that’s there’s two

i def took groot at the end as us, the audience understanding him

Me the first couple minutes = Sadness

#

If I rewatch it I can get time stamps of when my eyes started leaking

But then again I tear up in the fucking trailer for Little Mermaid miguel

But like that last twenty or so minutes I was non stop just sobbing

#

The villain looking like

I was like his fake face looks like this animatronic

gunn you fucker

#

quill told us how it was gonna go the whole time

it was a face off

It was either that

#

Holy crap that didn't dawn on me LMAO

shadow tree
#

there was a brief moment near the end there where I was terrified that the high evolutionary's mask would come off and reveal that he was a Kang

rigid roost
#

Forgot what time it was and I was just chilling in my car in the parking lot 🙃

shadow tree
#

thank christ that didn't happen

rigid roost
#

I didn't even think about that

acoustic coral
#

lmao i did not think that was gonna happen at all

#

no way gunn lets that leak into gotg

#

gotg always been pretty self contained

shadow tree
#

i mean, non-cameo thanos debuted in gotg

quasi kite
#

Gamora and nebula are pretty intertwined with Thanos

shadow tree
#

apparently though this was intended to be the first movie after endgame and the script that gunn wrote pre-firing/suicide squad was untouched since then

toxic dragon
#

Gonna take a few days to process this one

rigid roost
#

Was going to see if friends wanted to see it Tuesday but not sure I can handle the trauma so soon lol

acoustic coral
#

I'm sorry but I just want to talk again about how much I LOVED the hallway fight scene

#

It's like the exact opposite of the Serenity misery hallway scene

#

I loved it because it displays how the team fights together cohesively while also giving each character their moment with their own fighting style

#

And I thought it was an actual good use of slow mo. haters dont @ me

#

Like I'm sure that took months to storyboard and execute

rigid roost
#

That scene was so fucking good

#

Cackling at the butthole bomb

#

who shows James Gunn hatsune miku

rigid roost
#

Thinking about this is making me tear up again 😭

acoustic coral
#

I really hate the creep song but I loved how the whole team bonded through music

#

Beedont was like "when did nebula get so soft" and I was like "did you forget she spent however long wasting away on a ship with tony stark thinking she was gonna die" "yes"

neon pebble
acoustic coral
#

Thank you you're a #1

rigid roost
#

Seconding beedont there, entirely the forgetting part

acoustic coral
#

we're like completely evenly split on it

quasi kite
#

The end where they play come and get your love

acoustic coral
#

Yeah really full circle

neon pebble
#

I think it was more Nebula just spending time with the avengers as they figured out what happened that made her softer, not just time with Tony on that ship.

#

Still, he helped

acoustic coral
#

I mean, it's the whole thing, no need to be pedantic when he forgot an entire movie kekW

rigid roost
#

Also fucking hate these new regal cups so much

#

The collectible cups also don't fit in car cupholders

acoustic coral
#

He was asking me so many questions about ms marvel trailer too cuz he hasn't seen captain marvel or ms. marvel or wandavision

quasi kite
#

Mine barely fit ppRapLaugh

quasi kite
rigid roost
#

I had to shove the cup in really really hard and hope it didn't topple over. Guess my fault for not dumping out my now flat soda

#

Oh they probably made em too big so people don't get refills before they leave...

My Cinemark still has signs that say “absolutely no refills”

acoustic coral

#

I just grinned at him when it came on.

acoustic coral
#

for trailers we got asteroid city, flash, little mermaid, elemental, ms marvel, Oppenheimer, transformers, and hunger games. i was only interested in asteroid city and ms. marvel.

rigid roost
quasi kite
#

I don’t remember the order but it was marvels, flash, fast, elemental, not the Mermaid trailer but the movie theater Shilling one. And I think maybe one more

acoustic coral
#

The Flash movie trailer showed a lot, like, I feel like I can see where the bad reviews come from

quaint halo
#

We got dune, little mermaid, hunger games, marvels, Oppenheimer

#

And transformers

neon pebble
#

I had those minus Hunger Games unless I missed it.

shadow tree
#

i showed up late and still saw half of oppenheimer, mermaid, transformers, fast x, and marvels

neon pebble
#

Glad I didn't watch the dune trailer yet. Now I don't have to seek it out.

#

Also had Flash

quaint halo
#

Hunger games was like in the middle of those

neon pebble
#

I'm at the point where I just zone out with trailers.

quaint halo
#

They probably subbed hunger games for flash in yours

neon pebble
#

Probably

quaint halo
#

Ghost am I missing any of the trailers

acoustic coral
#

Oh yeah we got hunger games and transformers too

quasi kite
#

Oh my god the Oppenheimer trailer was so boring

neon pebble
#

I really liked most of the song picks they did for this one

acoustic coral
#

Oh and Oppenheimer

rigid roost
#

I got Oppenheimer, a new Flash trailer, Elemental, Fast, and Mermaid

Dune part 2

#

Oh wait

#

You said that

quaint halo
#

I said that

Nope I think that’s it

#

You got them all

#

Transformers is the one I completely forgot Jessie

Did not get flash, elemental or fast

Or Spider-Man

rigid roost
#

Oppenheimer was the one I forgot ppRapLaugh

quaint halo
#

Wow atom bomb woooooo

rigid roost
#

Big badaboom

acoustic coral
#

I got zero interest in that movie especially if it isn’t explicitly anti-war

quaint halo
#

I love the Spider-Man trailers, I wish we’d gotten that

rigid roost
#

I want more Spidey trailers

quaint halo
#

Oppenheimer is Oscar bait

neon pebble
#

Oh! Also got spider-verse

quasi kite
#

I want Barbie to make double of what opehammer makes

rigid roost
#

Genuinely surprised they didn't show a 3d trailer for it

quaint halo
#

And Oscar bait tends to either be sad or boring g for me

#

I’m so looking forward to Barbie

#

Just give me a fun dumb movie

rigid roost
#

Barbie needs another pair of skates just in case, go see her movie so she can afford it ppMulanHands

I have so many movies to watch in June

why are oscar noms sad and depressing loool

#

also sad no spiderverse but also going in blind is gonna be fun

Question my friend asked that caused a weirdly fun debate. Venom dropped an F bomb and is technically in the MCU, at least by the end of that movie. Does that mean in a weird way, Venom got the first F bomb while Star Lord is getting all the credit. The people must know who said the first swear

quaint halo
#

Wouldn’t that belong to X-men first clas s

dapper locust
#

thats where the debate got fun. TECHNICALLY that universe hasn’t crossed over yet unless they wanna say that Ralph Boner actually was Quicksilver the whole time.

#

But if we count venom, once the fox universe officially crosses over, he loses the spot. Regardless, Star Lord didnt get the first. And yes we are all 12 years old, was it the discussion on curse words that gave it away

mint pivot
#

How many of y'all immediately went home post movie and cuddled your furbabies 🙋‍♀️

dapper locust
#

Made my dog promise he wouldn’t let anyone experiment on him. I also taught him karate just in case

#

I was sadder about the fact a walrus with like two minutes of screen time died than I was when Iron Man died. 🫡teefs

rigid roost
#

Yeah that scene made me hella emotional 😭

quaint halo
#

okay but why was Floor's design so fucking creepy

#

like they were all a little creepy but floor's was super creepy

dapper locust
#

Floor reminded me of the spider baby from toy story

#

Floor boutta be circlejerked on twitter for “realistic depiction of a panic attack” just like Mario and Puss In Boots, I can feel it

#

Straight out of the theater i wasnt super into the movie tbh, I liked it but didnt love it, but thinking about it this really was one of the best of MCU movies. I am REALLY happy they didnt shoehorn a romance between Star Lord and Gamora

acoustic coral
#

I felt like a lot of the weird stuff in this movie was what quantumania wanted to look like

quasi kite
#

The organic planet was pacha

quaint halo
#

creepy

#

and kinda gross

#

LOL

#

i used my hand to cover the screen when they took his face off

#

i was like no thank you, i don't wanna see that

#

he kinda did yeah

#

i saw him and i was like CAPTAIN

acoustic coral
#

The "I have a guy like that" bit was Beedont's favorite

#

He could not stop laughing

quaint halo
#

there were just a lot of good bits in this movie

neon pebble
#

Gunn definitely did a great job with this. I'm excited for him hopefully turning DC around but sad he's gone from the MCU because of it

dapper locust
#

I loved it

#

And I loved that everyone working there looked like they were in GWAR with giant foam suits

#

AND Nathan kicked ass. That whole sequence was pacha

quasi kite
dapper locust
#

Hey how come they didnt bring those portable space suit discs. That thing Yondu put on Peter at the end of 2

#

Seems like youd keep one of those in your pocket or something at all times

dapper locust
quasi kite
#

He didn’t have his helmet or rocket boots at all

quaint halo
#

is he still carrying around his helmet tho

neon pebble
#

Does he even have his helmet anymore?

quasi kite
#

WHERE WAS IT

neon pebble
#

He didn't use it at all during this film nor did he use the rocket boots

quaint halo
#

rocket boots are cheap man shit, they can afford space suits now

#

except they accidentally trashed the space suits so

#

oop

#

to be fair tho, he didn't think he'd ever be in airless space

#

and not in a ship

#

or shot dead

quasi kite
#

It’s a magic space helmet

shadow tree
#

Those med packs were the magic save button in this one

#

More than his helmet ever was

acoustic coral
#

Beedont asked me where Star-Lord's helmet was and I don't remember if something happened to it

quasi kite
#

Yeah those were very convenient

neon pebble
#

I can't remember any moment where something happened to his helmet. He just seemed to have ditched it after Endgame

#

Given it was apart of his kit along with his guns and his boosters, one would think he would just automatically have them attached to his utility belt but nope.

quasi kite
#

I’m too lazy to put on love and thunder but yeah after endgame he ditched it somewhere

dapper locust
#

Lol med packs are literally the same as that shit from Kingsman that make it so you can survive a bullet to the brain

quaint halo
#

who knows when medpacks were invented or if rocket invented them tho

#

maybe there's a max amount of time before the medpack becomes unusable for an injury

#

otherwise they would've fixed thor's eye, no?

dapper locust
#

Lol reading about thor that reminds me of when he said, THERE IS NO GOD

#

Whole ass movie about a God ButcherppRapLaugh

toxic dragon
#

Hell yeah, I just got a Zune shirt at work to celebrate this movie coming out

After sleeping on it, I frickin loved this movie

Easily my favorite movie trilogy to come out during my lifetime, and it was a solid goodbye

soft cosmos
#

Idk how I feel about it

#

It's good but not what I expected but also it was kinda predictable

#

This is one that's gonna take some time before I'm pretty definitive on it

#

Will say tho visually pacha , whatever camera Gunn uses looks really good and I love that he likes to move the camera

soft cosmos
#

Like I was tempted to give it a 3.5 on letterboxd but then I feel like I would have to go back and change all my MCU ratings cause it is much better than the MCU I rated 3.5

#

I think 4 is good but I'm a little disappointed so it doesn't match the same enthusiasm I give 4's

so good

#

I loved it so much pacha

much better than quantumania

just as good as no way home

the ending to me was very satisfying. Can’t stop crying about it sadstitch

so def gonna have to see what i think in the future but I think its probably gonna settle at pretty great but story not as tight and cohesive as vol 1 and 2

Our editor @FredRaskin asked us, about two weeks into editing this scene, where the wires were. He didn’t realize this incredible effect by @LegacyEffects wasn’t actually @prattprattpratt.

Gunn was answering a bunch of yes or no questions on twitter. He confirmed there will not be a volume 4(obvious), theres another major easter egg in this one nobody had found yet, that nobody found the easter egg in Guardians 1 yet, and that a Guardians actor will be in his superman movie

#

Im guessing either his wife and/or brother in a cameo, or Chris Pratt as Superman, no inbetween

Rocket will be a SuperPet

i also went into the movie expecting SOMEONE on the guardians to die so was pleasantly surprised

is that implying that he wanted to die? or something else

I also cried when that came up

I don’t remember shit about what happened in this comic but it was THE first comic I was buying monthly

No? So where were they?

dapper locust
#

Especially Adam since he gets to be on the new team

soft cosmos
#

with Gunn writing and directing probably not tho

dapper locust
#

Oh no thats definitely done

#

I cant imagine DC would allow him even if he had time

#

Which he almost certainly wont for a LONG time

#

At the absolute very least, Rocket, Star Lord and Adam will be back.

#

And Groot i guess

#

I do believe Dave is really done, I get the feeling Pom will be in DC

quaint halo
#

Vin diesel has the best deal out of everyone lmao. He gets to be credited and doesn’t have to go through the shitton of makeup people like Bautista and gillan do

dapper locust
#

Zoe and Karen, no clue

dapper locust
#

I wonder if they bring him into the booth each movie or if he just made various grunts and I Am Groots and they just change the pitch

quaint halo
#

His job is so easy lmao

neon pebble
#

I would expect the new Guardians to show up in other things, maybe the next eternals.

dapper locust
#

Also how old was Groot in the first one, cause the Groot we got now is ginormous

An adult

Zoe has said pretty firmly that she's done with Gamora just like Dave has said about Drax.

quaint halo

That literally reminds me of the kid

Anyway that’s my headcannon

dapper locust
#

James Gunn be like “uh yeah no that was the intent all along”

quaint halo
#

But look at how skinny he is

#

He totally bulked up meathead style lmao

neon pebble
#

We also don't know how Groot genetics work from one generation to another

dapper locust
#

I demand Gunn address this

#

Shit if I asked on twitter he probably would

neon pebble

Yeah

When a mommy tree and a daddy tree love each other ver much

neon pebble
#

That's not what I meant Duggy

quaint halo
#

All we know is that groot is gonna grow taller

dapper locust
#

When a mommy tree and a daddy tree love each other very much, they rip a branch off daddy and plant it

neon pebble
#

Also, Groot 1 just left behind a seed or something that became Groot 2

quasi kite
#

Maybe he wanted to be bigger and stronger to protect his family

dapper locust
#

I think Groot 2 was legit just a branch they put in a pot

quaint halo
#

Don’t body shame him

dapper locust
#

Even the axe started growing roots

quaint halo
#

Groot can probably clone himself

soft cosmos
dapper locust
#

Im sad my theory about Groot 2 exploding and all the twigs falling into the dirt and making an army of Groots didnt happen

quaint halo
#

So he’s like 7 or 8 years old rn

#

5 years of blip

dapper locust
#

Does his species in the comic have a canon lifespan?

quaint halo
#

Only Thor knows

dapper locust
#

I mean, trees can live for a long long long time

quaint halo
#

Bc he speaks the language

#

So I assume he knows about the species

shadow tree
#

Vol 1 and 2 are both set in 2014

#

then IW in 18 -> Endgame in '23 and where they are now is probably late 24 early 25

#

Fuck James Gunn for making me feel feelings for 2 and a half hours

vernal coyote
#

Comics say groot species can live for centuries

#

But fans are guessing he's between 11-14 years for mentality but looks adult due to the 2-3 year aging a year process. But also guessing he's about
18-20 in looks and physically

(Going off of the holiday special)

Groot is finally becoming comic accurate! He’s gigantic and he can talk a little.

#

This is probably the best Marvel Movie in years and might be my favorite GOTG film.

Wtf

I know it’s easy bait but wtf

I didnt know they were allowed to shit talk the company online tbh

Former

dapper locust
#

Ok that makes more sense lol

#

I domt recognize the name but i feel he either did nothing of note or is responsible for the best shit

vernal coyote
#

This is why gunn put the disclaimer in case stuff like this happened

dapper locust
#

I just saw his tweet about Disneyland expanding and didnt know that so i guess Im happy he bitched about Guardians cause Id of probable missed that news otherwise somehow

obsidian summit
#

what a strange hill to stand on

#

like the whole story with rocket is animal cruelty. Like you’ve should known since the first movie

soft cosmos
obsidian summit
#

maybe its time to put Jim to bed ppRapLaugh

vernal coyote
#

I knew about his tale from comics and the telltale game .. so seeing vol.3 clip with them I knew the situation that was to come

dapper locust
#

The bad guy who kills the animals gets his face ripped off worse than two face and gus fring

#

Dude literally had to staple that shit back on

vital kernel
#

It’d be one thing if he had said he didn’t want to watch it because he didn’t like watching scenes of animal cruelty, that’s understandable, but the way he made it sound like watching this film supports animal cruelty is silly

soft cosmos
#

What a lack of critical thinking does to a mf

soft cosmos

#

Talking about Adam warlock, I found it really funny that he just went straight for what he wanted without talking

#

Just chaos immediately

dapper locust
soft cosmos
oblique pendant
obsidian summit
#

that’d be too depressing

#

it would be them in the cage and go through tests

#

and jim would tweet about it ppRapLaugh

soft cosmos
#

at most its a short or special presentation, but a full 6ep series is scraping for content

neon pebble
#

I don't even know if there is that. The film did a pretty good job of covering what their time there was like. I don't need more of that.

dapper locust
#

I would take a rocket movie or series about the time inbetween leaving the high evolutionary and the first guardians movie. Hell Gunn actually tried making one at some point

neon pebble
#

Why would we want to see more of them in cages? That was depressing even if they were making the most of it

dapper locust
#

Oh god no that would be awful

#

I think thats what they wanted though which really is an awful take

#

But a Rocket and Groot movie or show. Id watch the hell outta that

acoustic coral
#

Lmao it’s just them in heaven

neon pebble
#

This whole story was originally supposed to be a Rocket and Groot movie until Gunn made it Vol 3.

dapper locust
#

Tbh I kinds thought Groot got shafted a bit in this movie. Not like Adam Warlock levels, but I really did expect we would get a little more backstory from him

#

I figured he would help Rocket escape in some way, idk

neon pebble
#

They definitely could have done a series based on the time before Vol 1 but that is so long ago so why?

dapper locust
#

Im not saying they should now, just that exploring their backstory would have been good at some point, especially since Gunn planned too originally

oblique pendant
#

Yeah groot got shafted

#

I thought warlock was good

#

Unless you wanted him not to be a child

dapper locust
#

Knowing what Adam Warlocks role shoulda been in Infinty War and Endgame just makes him in this one feel wasted

oblique pendant
#

Wdym?

#

He’s way too powerful

#

To be logical and make good decisions

dapper locust
#

I just cant imagine when they initially teased him that the plan was, in Guardians 3 hes gonna just sorta exist and have a couple fight scenes

oblique pendant
#

The post credit of civil war was him right?

#

then that never got done

dapper locust
#

No Volume 2

#

Civil War post credits was Spiderman getting the suit

#

And Bucky in Wakanda

oblique pendant
#

We see a weird ectoplasmic biomechanical cocoon, and she declares, "I think I will call him Adam."

#

There was a post credit of someone in like a coffin

#

Early early on

dapper locust
#

That was Volume 2 wasnt it

oblique pendant
#

Oh right

dapper locust
#

They had like 5 post credits in that one and that was the serious one

oblique pendant
#

No like on earth lol

dapper locust
#

The rest were just jokes

#

Definitely not on earth unless I missed something

#

I think there was the cocoon in like Dark World in the background or some shit

oblique pendant
#

Idk my brain rot

dapper locust
#

I THINK the collector had it but that was more of a blink and you miss it easter egg if Im not crazy.

#

Mine too dont worryppRapLaugh

#

Regardless, i just think he was a bit wasted in the movie and really deserved more screen time. They cast a decently big name actor so theres no way they are just done with him, but I think they should have saved him for later, some project where he could be a bigger role

oblique pendant
#

I think this was good development that couldn’t really have fit into anything else

#

Although I do wish we had some time with him being upset at the dude for killing his mom

dapper locust
#

Yeah what we got was alright, I just really wanted more. Everytime he showed up it was kinda like a reminder he was there

#

I swear he disappeared for like an hour at one point

oblique pendant
#

The whole orbo thing I think

vital kernel
#

I think there’s a lot of promise in the idea of a superhero who’s also a toddler in terms of life experience, but it wasn’t really done the best here.

#

My only other real complaint is that Mantis and Drax were only comic relief and had very little development

soft cosmos
#

I think Gunn said he initially planned for Warlock to be in vol 2, but decided not to because there was already a lot of characters

neon pebble
soft cosmos
#

glad he has an explanation but still a small stretch lol

quaint halo
#

Consider tho that peter was drunk out of his mind prior to them leaving knowhere, that makes sense

quasi kite
#

Oh right and rocket was like immediately dying

dapper locust
oblique pendant
#

I think we got a little bit in there where she was like “no one ever listens to me”

dapper locust
#

True. Just seemed a bit out of character, but she always was just kinda comic relief in the first place despite having extremely useful powers

mystic gazelle
#

ok on this note it cracks me up that james gunn just invites all his friends to be in his movies and he usually kills them

This is the last real movie we’re getting out of Marvel for the foreseeable future and I cherished it

Shed a single tear near the end

Stupid happy ending

IMO I think they wrote themselves into a corner by setting up Adam Warlock and I could have done without him

I don’t disagree

It’s just gonna be “why didn’t warlock fly up the villains asshole” again

Find it interesting Love and Thunder gave the guardians pretty much all new costumes, but for Vol 3 they dont use them, wonder if Gunn or whoever works on gotg for that kinda stuff had input

#

Similar thing with IW and Endgame where they get the Benetar ship

sage fulcrum
#

Gunn is doing what I do - pretending Love and Thunder doesn’t exist

neon pebble
#

Gunn seems pretty unhappy with how the Guardians were handled outside his films so I’m guessing he and his team had little to no input. Especially with infinity war

upbeat pollen
#

Not sure if it’s been brought up at all but I’d love to see them update Cosmo in the Mission Breakout queue to match what she looks like in Vol 3

soft cosmos

and the walkman, which is also destroyed in vol 2

upbeat pollen
#

Oh yeah I know it’s not canon, I just want to see her get updated because she’s an adorable character

soft cosmos
#

wouldnt mind a few voice lines cause Ultron talks right?

upbeat pollen
#

Exactly, that’d be cool

#

Maybe add some of the interactivity that the Vyloo have

soft cosmos

that sounds cool but then that means Cosmo would never work Jessie

Idk why but im obsessed with this shot, it shouldnt go this hard

I’m gonna have to re-watch trilogy to decide but I think yes it might be best trilogy. It gets messed up by the Avengers films a bit but Gunn somehow ties things back in.

Did Gamora's voice seem different to anyone else?

I love how she found her family with the Ravagers. I think it goes to show that audiences don't need directors to sacrifice characters to unnecessary fan service

The only thing that prevents guardians from being a perfect trilogy is that it isn’t a trilogy

#

Because IW/Endgame exist

Also GOTG 2 exists
