    I'm so glad that the crappy month of May is now behind me. Excited to be back into the MCU and I hope you enjoyed this reaction! You'll notice the editing is a bit different in this video. 👀 Last month I was sort of forced to abandon the editing program I've been using since the start of this channel and learn a new one. So I decided to really buckle down and LEARN. And with that came an understanding that I could make things better and more efficient. So I'm gonna try this out for a bit and see how it goes. The biggest headache will be clearing copyright - it's a bit more difficult doing it with this style of editing over my previous style. But I'm willing to give it my best shot. 🤞 I appreciate your support and thank you for being here. ❤

      I find it very sad that you don’t really appreciate the humor in these Guardian movies. You have to take in to account that Drax’s character is primarily way too literal in his understanding of language. But, yes, it’s a means to inject some very silly humor and it’s a trademark of the franchise. I for one, loved it and appreciate it. I’d hope that if you rewatch, that you’d grow to appreciate the humor as well.

Probably the greatest comic book movie of all time. Captain America Civil War has very little in common with the comics. Hell most of the Infinity Saga is a departure. The issue is whether the change makes sense or fundamentally undermines an established character.

    But you put your opinions above all else, and it makes your reactions refreshing. I mention it, because the 1st Guardians is usually on everyone’s top 5-10 movies. And it is usually in the middle for me haha. Thanks for your reactions and hope your channel succeeds more and more ❤️

    🥬 Hey glad to see you back in the game! Honestly this was one of my favorite MCU movies, the humor hit really well for me (as opposed to some other movies I have seen recently). Phase three is truly the golden era of the MCU.
    However I respect that not everyone is going to feel the same way about every movie. Your sense of humor is of course different than mine as is your taste in music. I respect that. Moreover, I respect that you are willing to say it in your reaction and review without feeling pressure to like a movie just because it is popular even if it didn't hit for you. I am glad I have been subscribed and looking forward to your future reviews. Now I am off to see your take on Spider-Man: Homecoming. 😊

  • @VColossalV
    @VColossalV Год назад +10

    the difference between most other movies and this one when it comes to the music is that it's actually part of the story and exists within the movie, often the characters are listening to the same music, such as when Groot and Quill are listening to the funeral song at the end, it's not just the walkman that he carried with him for years, his ship has a built in cassette player which you see a few times. For me that makes it way more meaningful than the music in most other movies. Some movies have "radio music" just randomly playing in the background and it has no connection with anything and doesn't exist within what's happening, in those cases I agree it's more tacky. Not here.
    Baby Groot has his own show on Disney+, so it's not the last time you see him, but for other future adventures he wont be a baby anymore.

    The whole trilogy has been about Rocket Raccoon.
    Guardians 1, “He called me vermin, she called me rodent! I didn’t ask to be torn apart and be put back together over and over.” -Rocket.
    Guardians 2, “I was cybernetically engineered to pilot a spacecraft.” -Rocket. “You can fool yourself and everyone else, but you can’t fool me. I know who you are… I know everything about you. I know you play like you’re the meanest in the heart but actually you’re the most scared of all…I know you steal batteries you don’t need and push away anyone who’s willing to put up with you because just a little bit of love reminds you of how big and empty that hole inside you actually is…I know them scientist what made you never gave a rats ass about you…Just like my own damn parents who sold me, their own little baby to slavery. I know who you are boy, because you’re me” -Yondu.

    It's always hard for me to rank all three GOTG movies. I can say that I really liked the third one. One of my favorite moments in Vol. 2 is when Yondu, Rocket, Groot, & Kraglin do 700 jumps to get to Ego's planet and their eyes get all huge and start freaking out 😂 That scene makes me laugh every time! My other favorite scene is when Nebula tells Gamora that, "all she wanted was a sister" and that every time she lost a fight Thanos would replace a part of her with machinery 💔 That scene makes me tear up 😢I find it amusing that your second favorite Stan Lee cameo is the one where he's telling the Watchers about your first favorite Stan Lee cameo in Civil War (Tony Stank) 🌲🍃

    The soundtrack is very much a James Gunn thing, Starlord never actually had a Walkman in the comics it was just something Gunn added to the character that's now made it's way into the comics. Gunn's Superman film for example I highly doubt he'll go for a heavily licenced soundtrack for the film but wouldn't complain if they use (Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman - Kinks, Superman - R.E.M., Kryptonite - 3 Doors Down, and Five for Fighting - Superman (It's Not Easy) to name a few. So yeah I feel like the music is unique to the Guardians films.

Vol. 2 had us rolling in stitches and upped the emotions and allowed for a lot of character growth. We also listened to the Vol. 2 soundtrack the whole summer and will forever remind me of 2017.

    Great to see you back, Kaiielle! I was wondering where you've been. So sorry to hear that you were unwell, and I hope you'll recover fully soon.
    I can understand your feeling that some of the humour falls flat in this story, but it's heartening that the more touching moments spoke to you. I'm also glad to hear that you have a greater appreciation for the first Guardians movie. James Gunn has really told a big story with these characters over the three films, and each following movie informs the ones that came before. I hope you'll enjoy what comes next for Groot and his friends 🌳
    As for the Sovereign being ineffectual as villains -- well, I can't dispute that, but there's a reason for it. Much more than that, I can't tell you.

    I'm glad you're back and feeling better! Sounding better in the outro too. So, improvement continues! 🌱
    Personally, I rank this Guardians movie just a tiny bit higher than the first. Baby Groot is adorable, there's some good character development with Rocket (Groot and Rocket are my favorite Guardians characters), we're introduced to Mantis, and Ego is a good, memorable villain. Those are the tipping points for me. Especially Ego. Ronin in the first movie (the bad guy, in case you forgot his name, which I couldn't blame anyone for since he was so forgettable) was supposed to be this tough, scary dude, but he hardly did anything in the movie at all. He was almost an afterthought. That's the biggest difference between the two for me.
    Looking forward to your future reactions MCU and otherwise. And wishing you continued health improvement until you're back to 💯

And believe it or not ,i cried at the "he wasn't your daddy" and when i saw kraglin how happy he was that the ravangers came . That showed how much Kraglin respected Yondu and loved him as a person.
    I fully understand the feelings you have about humor or the movie in general and why those are not your cup of tea . I have a friend that feels this way about Lord of the rings. It is all personal preference at the end of it.

I still haven't seen the third one... so I don't know where I'd rank that yet.

Waaaaay back in the original comics he claimed he was the mind of a scientist merged with his planet when the star went supernova :P

    Glad you enjoyed this one, even with all the caveats. Which is kind of how I feel about it.
    I think this movie is a mix of high highs and low lows.
    The humor in this one really took me out of it, especially the tazerface stuff (and right around the dark moment of the crew being killed). The jokes just feels more blunt and dragged out, so if it didn't work for you it lingered. Rocket has several moments like that. Same with Drax; they made him dumber overall which I wasn't a fan of, but also gave him some really great lines.
    On the flipside I really love the Ego / Yondu / Peter and Gamora / Nebula stuff. The themes of family and friends, broken and found homes really worked for me.
    It's a tough one to rate but the highs bring me back to it more often than Part 1, so I suppose that means I like it more lol.
    Looking forward to your next video! 🌱

    I know you feel the need to be defensive over your dislike of the Guardians movies so far, but honestly it's so nice to have a unique opinion on these movies after we've been inundated with Guardians love for almost 10 years now. I personally adore the movies (I'm part of the camp that prefers 2 to 1, too!) but I completely understand finding the constant humor distracting. At the end of the day, I always come back to how these movies handle the growth of the characters, and the Guardians team is up there with Tony Stark in terms of satisfying and compelling character development in the MCU. There's more coming up that I hope you'll love! 🌱

    So, for me, this is stronger than the first movie. A huge part of that is because when it came out, I was already a stepdad to a kid with a pretty... horrible "first dad." So Yondu's arc, with the whole "He may have been your father, but he wasn't your daddy" thing... hit... and hits really hard for me. Even if my kid is a teenager now, and doesn't appreciate how I do things these days. Still, I work very hard to give them a better life than they would have had before. Either way, this movie is probably the one that made Guardians of the Galaxy one of my top-tier groups within the MCU. The heart that is present in their story is just... phenomenal. I won't say anything about the third one. However, I will say that The Holiday Special does contain things that move the ball forward, so you really _should_ watch it. Anyway, Mary Poppins signing off 🏹
    Also, when it comes to the music, I love the idea that it is, effectively, Peter's mother talking to him. Awesome Mix Volume 2 was her way of speaking directly to him for after her passing.
    Oh, and as for Baby Groot, you really need to watch the I Am Groot shorts on Disney+🌳

You were always the son I longed for. Hell, I love you." "I love you, too, Yondu." Peter says back. Then Yondu gives him the Zune after all as a welcome home present 🎁.

    🌳 I like Vol1 and Vol2 about equally, but I think Vol2 is just a bit more for me. The humor can be a bit much at times, but the family relationships, especially Yondu (and his untimely demise) always get me. Great reaction!

    I went in very cautious about the guardians movies, only because I read the book, and the only character that was involved in both movies and (original) books. After I saw the first one I realized I love these films.

    The Guardians of the Galaxy wiki tells me that this emoji combo represents Groot (baby or otherwise): 👀🌳
    I actually did prefer the first movie over the second, even with the flaws you pointed out (which I mostly agree with). The lackluster villain was made up for in my eyes by the sheer number of "villains" who wound up being friends, which provided for the type of sophomoric humor which I still enjoy. 😄
    Glad to see you back and feeling better! 💜

    I don’t think you understand Drax. He is explained to be extremely surface level in everything and extremely literal. My favorite moment in the whole film is when he and Mantis are sitting on the steps and he’s thinking of his daughter and he has such a mixture of joy and profoujd sadness while thinking of her. Then Mantis touches him to experience what he is feeling and she has such a visceral reaction. I think it gets invalidated by her about to tell Drax about the dark stuff and Gamora walking in. The profoundness of Drax isn’t what he says, but what he DOESN’T say. He’s like a reverse Vulcan. He’s all out there and he also experiences things DEEPLY.

    Was wondering if you would like this one more. Some do, some don't. For me it depends on the person. The theme around family and what REAL family means to someone is pretty well told. And I don't think most people in theatres had a dry eye when Yandu said to Quill:
    "He may have been your father, but he wasn't your daddy.."
    Think that line can hit hard for a lot of people with actually GOOD fathers and step fathers, adoptive fathers etc. :)

    I've said this after so many reactions now, but you continue to share my thoughts exactly, (except I'm one of the few who liked Thor; The Dark World more than most). I much prefer this film to the first one which was way overhyped IMO. Ditto to pretty much everything you said about this film.
    This gives me more hope that you will like Thor Ragnarok (which is a top-tier film for me), but I guess we'll see... Fantastic reaction as always.

    I definitely prefer the first movie to this one. The first movie had more humour and I definitely love the humour in these movies. It also felt more epic, there were more planets being visited, a big space battle that felt like it was more important, a cool prison break, and it was the first real movie to give us an explanation of the infinity stones and showed us Thanos for the first real time. Because the stones are a theme among most of the previous moves, it felt more connected to the greater story of the MCU.
    I think a lot of us were looking forward to seeing how guardians 2 would advance the metaplot of the MCU, and it didn't really. Plus, it dramatically changed the background of Peter Quill from the comics so that was a disappointment for people. Plus, as you remarked, the Sovereign aren't great villains. They are played as a joke and their entire fleet gets wiped out super easily... twice. Plus, it's major threat, Ego, is kind of removed from the rest of the universe. He is threatening the test of the universe and you know, intellectually that he'll destroy it but the scale of it and the fact that it is just a blue goo that grows makes it kind of abstract to the point where it is difficult to feel threatened by it.
    But Yondu still makes this movie great.

  • @MasterDirox

    I liked Guardians 2 more myself 😮 I think it had a lot more emotionally impactful scenes, and it was really great to have Yondu and Nebula on the team. Guardians 1 was great though; we got an infinity stone there, and a really badass villain. 🌿

    @curtquinlan9870 Год назад +1

    I wasn't the biggest fan of this movie at first but now I can't help but get emotional at Yondu's death, and I now hold this movie in higher regard. I enjoy your honest opinions about the MCU; surprised you have the GotG movies so low in your rankings as they are usually in most folks' higher echelons.
    James Gunn directed the Guardians movies, and I think he just knows how to put hero teams together in movies in the wackiest and awesome ways. He also directed DC's "The Suicide Squad" which was also very good. Not to be confused with the earlier "Suicide Squad" which was awful. I hope he can turn it around at DC because they need the help.

    I liked the second one more, yeah. Like you said for the music, maybe I was prepared to the style and I welcomed it more... but all of it, humor too. I liked the humor in this one (and the third :P)
    Idk how to rank these movies in the MCU because they feel so out of the "main" story, but they do have the huge merit to introduce these memorable characters (in a good or bad way, that's up to you, but they sure are memorable 😂). I think I like them more than the usual origin story type of movie (Thor, the first Cap, Ant-man etc).

    That said, Guardians 3 is by far the best one; I was worried that it wouldn’t be as good, but I was pleasantly surprised by it. Best Marvel film of the past few years.

    Glad to see you liked this one more than the first. I really don't understand why people liked the first one that much more than this one... I love all three but this one is easily my favorite because it's so emotional, and yeah, the connection with his fathers helps a lot with that. I do get that I have a similar connection with my fathers as Quill does with his, and that helps, but even if I didn't have an asshole biological father and a great adopted father, I would still see how good a story it is and the heart behind it all.
    Edit: I do both agree and disagree with you about scores in movies. I prefer them when they're done right, but sadly, they stopped being a part of the movie the way they were in the 80s and 90s (and before that) and nowadays they're generally background music that doesn't add to the movie as much as they just fill empty space... Like, I can't really think of many great scores that I can hum since Lord of the Rings, the only exception being the Avengers theme, and ONLY that theme from the series, anything else from all of those movies I wouldn't recognize from any other modern score.
