    I will say that Drax and Gamora are much more durable than humans, Which is why drax can get flung into stuff over and over and not really feel much of it. And as to Yondu's Death, it is trying to find 2 people in an area the size of a planet, even a small planet doesnt make that easy/quick to traverse or necessarily find someone.

      While the MCU is different than the comic books, the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe strength level:
      Thor - 100 tons
      Drax - 50 tons
      Cap - 800 lbs
      Gamora is unclear. It does say that her strength has been compared to Spider-Man's. Which would put her around 10 tons.
      With the greater strength comes greater muscle, tissue & bone density. (Drax is stated to be 6'4" & 680 lbs) Allowing for greater impacts to be withstood.
      Take it with a huge grain of salt. Characters get powered up & down as needed and these characters are much different than the counterparts....and it is make believe.

      I think Drax feels a connection with Mantis because she reminds him of his _actual_ daughter Heather. Heather becomes the hero Moondragon, although Drax doesn't know this yet. Drax was originally a human named Arthur Douglas. Arthur was killed by Thanos, then his spirit was placed in a basically indestructible body (by Thanos' father Mentor and a Titan god named Kronos) as a weapon to kill Thanos, and renamed him Drax the Destroyer. This caused some problems with Arthur's memories and personality. He thinks his daughter is dead, but she was really raised by Mentor and trained by monks in mental powers. She is supposed to be a more powerful telepath than Professor X himself. In fact, it is Arthur and his wife who died and Heather (Moondragon) who survived.

      It is a behavioral fact that having a good father figure leads to better adjusted offspring. Without that father, children tend to grow up with more social issues. They are often more chaotic, more violent, and unruly.
      TRUE STORY:
      Years ago, there was a very big problem with a specific herd of elephants in Africa. Elephants are very intelligent and have a complex social structure. The adult males were all poached for their tusks. The young elephants that grew up without father figures became a real problem to everyone around them.

      These young elephants were very violent and out of control. They caused much irreversible destruction. They killed many endangered rhinos and other local animals we were trying to protect. The young males were r@ping the female elephants, which is rare because elephants are a matriarchal society. The young elephants terrorized human villages, destroyed farms and property.
      We didn't want to kill them but we needed a solution. The solution: We integrated fully grown well adjusted males from elsewhere into the local herd. They were accepted into the local population by the mothers of the herd. These new father figures were larger and stronger than the violent teenagers. The "new Dads" quickly put the youngsters in check any time they got out of line. The problem was solved.
      You can apply this common sense to human society. There are areas within the USA where children often grow up without traditional father figures. It is no surprise that these areas have the highest crime rates. It is no surprise when these chaotic teenagers become poor parents and the cycle for violent crime continues.

    Hey, Natalie! Slapstick and sentiment are what this franchise is about! Much like Vol. 1, "Guardians Vol. 2" was an acquired taste for me since the characters differ so radically from the '90s Valentino era and lack the nuance of the '00s Abnett/Lanning era. I take science fiction very seriously. Its deeper themes and allegorical references resonate deeply with me making it a challenge to immerse myself in these goofy antics. The plot centers on the mystery of Quill's parentage revealing that he is half-Celestial whereas he is half-Spartoi in the comics, a prince of one of Marvel's staple interstellar civilizations. In spite of changes such as that, these movies, much like the team, prevail against all odds delivering endings that pack an emotional wallop!
    James Gunn earns my admiration each time for pushing the boundaries, diving deep and bringing impossible characters like Ego to vivid life! It takes a wildly creative sensibility and a deep affection for this mythology to get this many disparate parts to mesh properly and Gunn has both in spades. I cannot wait to see what he does with that tease for Adam Warlock. The production has an incredibly varied aesthetic that is a feast for the eyes including the golden realm of the Sovereign, the neon-lit tundra of Contraxia, the misty forested world of Berhert, and the lush splendor of Planet Ego. Traditionally a Thor villain, Ego the Living Planet is difficult to comprehend and challenging to render so I give Gunn tremendous credit for reducing him to a relatable stature while retaining his planet-with-a-face appearance. He does get an upgrade to Celestial status but he is his own entity in the comics. The Celestials are titanic armored space gods with Knowhere station being one of their severed heads!
    Despite varying from their comic counterparts, the returning cast is as game as before including Chris Pratt as Peter Quill aka Star-Lord, Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Dave Bautista as Drax, Michael Rooker as Yondu Udonta, Sean Gunn as Kraglin and Karen Gillan as Nebula. Bautista is a stand-out who continues to mine Drax for impressive comedy gold but Rooker steals the show with Yondu's gut-wrenching death scene! Also returning are a high-pitched Vin Diesel as Baby Groot and Bradley Cooper as Rocket Raccoon who remain the only Guardians adapted faithfully except in one regard. According to Gunn, Baby Groot is the offspring of the original Groot rather than a regrown Groot retaining the same memories as in the comics. New characters are Ego, a sentient world that manifests as a man to pollinate other worlds across the universe with his essence! He is played by Kurt Russell as an expansive, avuncular aging hipster who is digitally de-aged to his 1980 likeness in the prologue. Pom Klementieff charmingly plays his empathic pet Mantis who is given a completely different personality than in the comics although she gets to keep her antennae! Elizabeth Debicki plays golden-skinned Ayesha aka Kismet who is transformed into the haughty High Priestess of a golden-skinned species known as the Sovereign. Sylvester Stallone plays Stakar Ogord aka Starhawk whose complex comic backstory is simplified to that of a respected Ravager Captain. He is accompanied by his First Officer, Martinex, a crystalline Plutonian played by Michael Rosenbaum of "Smallville". Both represent a nod to the Valentino Guardians of the '90s. Chris Sullivan plays the traitorous Ravager Taserface whose unfortunate name is actually an authentic deep dive into the comics! Returning in small roles are Laura Haddock as a pre-cancerous Meredith Quill, Gregg Henry as Grandpa Quill, Wyatt Oleff of "It" as young Peter and Seth Green voicing Howard the Duck seen patronizing a Contraxian brothel! In bit parts, Brit character actor Tommy Flanagan plays Tullk, a Ravager loyal to Yondu, Ben Browder of "Farscape" plays a Sovereign Admiral and Elizabeth Ludlow of "The Walking Dead" plays a distressed alien mother fleeing from Ego-matter. Michelle Yeoh as Aleta the Arcturan and Ving Rhames as Charlie-27 the Jovian appear briefly at the Ravager funeral and in one of the end-credit scenes as another Valentino tribute.
    TRIVIA:
    1. James Gunn wore a motion capture suit and served as the model for Baby Groot's opening dance sequence!
    2. Vin Diesel had actual scripted lines written for his eyes only so that he could inflect "I am Groot" appropriately.
    3. The idea of a self-aware brain like Ego's spontaneously coming into existence is a philosophic thought problem proposed by physicist Ludwig Boltzmann!
    4. In between Guardians films, Nebula stunt double, Olivia Jackson, fractured the left half of her face, suffered a traumatic brain injury and had her left am severed in a motorcycle stunt gone wrong!
    5. The Zune was an actual Microsoft digital music player developed in 2006 that was discontinued due to its lack of popularity!
    EASTER EGGS:
    1. When Peter is granted cosmic awareness by Ego, his eyes fill with stars and he says he sees eternity. This is a reference to Eternity, the personification of the universe in Marvel comics, who appears as a silhouetted humanoid whose form is filled with starscapes.
    2. The larger replacement head-fin that Yondu wears makes him look more like Centaurians do in the comics.
    3. Cosmo the canine cosmonaut and Jeff Goldblum's Grandmaster from "Thor: Ragnarok" are seen in the credits themselves frolicking.
    4. Among Stakar's reassembled Ravager team in the end-credits is Krugarr, a red, serpentine alien from a species known as Lem. He is a member of the '90s Valentino Guardians and the 31st-century Sorcerer Supreme!
    5. Seen listening to Stan Lee are Watchers, a race of observers who monitor all that transpire in the universe but never interfere. Uatu is the Watcher assigned to Earth who observes us from his dwelling on the Moon.
    6. According to Gunn, this film occurs just months after the first "Guardians of the Galaxy" meaning it is set chronologically before "Avengers: Age of Ultron".
    CAMEOS:
    1. Ego momentarily transforms into Peter's imaginary concept of his father, David Hasselhoff, who appears as himself!
    2. Miley Cyrus voices the disembodied robot head Mainframe in the Valentino tribute end-credit scene.
    3. Stan Lee appears in a spacesuit regaling a group of Watchers about all his cameos when Rocket, Groot, Yondu and Kraglin are jumping through space!
    END-CREDIT SCENES:
    1. Kraglin tests his ability to control the repaired yaka arrow but misfires puncturing Drax whereupon Kraglin sneaks away.
    2. Sylvester Stallone's Stakar Ogord addresses a reassembled team of Ravagers from different clans who collectively represent the Jim Valentino Guardians of the '90s. They include Michael Rosenbaum's Martinex the Plutonian, Michelle Yeoh's Aleta the Arcturan, Ving Rhames' Charlie-27 the Jovian, a CGI Krugarr the Lem and Miley Cyrus' Mainframe the A.I. who is a character from the tertiary MC2 universe but is nonetheless included.
    3. A frustrated, vengeful High Priestess Ayesha monitors a birthing chamber she claims will produce the next step in the Sovereign's evolution calling it 'Adam'. This is a tease for the introduction of Adam Warlock!
    4. Quill scolds a now-teen Groot to clean his vine-littered room to which he replies with obnoxious, disrespectful iterations of "I am Groot"!
    5. Tired of Stan Lee's prattling, the Watchers wander away leaving the old boy stranded in his spacesuit on the desolate planet.
    The next chronological stop in the MCU are Episodes 11-19 of Season 2 of "Agents of SHIELD" but watching the "Guardians' Inferno" music video first is mandatory! It is located on the "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" blu-ray, Disney+ as an Extra or on RUclips.

      You're right, it looked like because of the reviews she was already hoping for the movie to be bad, and started nitpicking very little things right from the beginning

      Yeah she does too much prior research before watching the movie. She also picks apart like technical parts of the movie like the crash landing of the ship? She tends to not pay attention and yell over things. You'd think she would look into the character parts of the movie like the comics and she would find out that drax is super strong and gamora is super strong.

      Yup, about half of the people who "dislike" this movie hate it because they only view it in the lense of comparing it to the first GOTG. Same with people who don't like Endgame, with their reasoning being "because Infinity War was better".
      This is probably my favorite non-Avenger movie in the MCU, and that's mostly because with every rewatch it gets better and better, picking up on the themes and loving the tone of the movie. But if I only watched this once, it wouldn't crack my top 10.

    I love both the guardians of the galaxy movies. This film hit my wife hard, because she has sisters and she has a stepdad who she calls dad and her real dad wanted nothing to do with her so this film hit her hard in the feels♥️

    One of the most underrated movies in the MCU

    With repeated viewing the ending of this film hits harder and harder. So many character arcs wrapped up during the beautifully crafted ravenger funeral sequence it still makes me cry.

    One thing I found humorously ironic is that the ribbon they placed over Yondu's eyes at his funeral was a Good Conduct Ribbon.

    Awwwww. I wish you’d done the part where Mantis touches Drax and instantly starts crying.
    Of course it doesn’t matter what I wanted to see….just that moment had me openly crying in the Theater. It was Like….”oh shit….Drax is not just a cartoon character, and he’s suffering all the time”.
    Ugh, I’m tearing up right now…loss is such an impactful and relatable emotion😭

    Cracks me up that you called Ego a jackass because that's what Yondu called Quill's father at the end of Vol. 1. "Nah, that guy's a jackass!"

    dave batista killed it as drax in this movie. Just him yelling where's quill, rocket where's quill gets me every time. OMG don't even get me started on when he's talking about his wife and he stares off into the distance with a smile and mantis does her thing where she feels the persons emotions and she immediately breaks down and then it hits you that he feels that way all the time.
