- My first time watching Guardians of the Galaxy and you guys were right. I didn't need any previous information before seeing this movie and now that i think about it, it is a smart move on Disney since it ensures that anybody out there who's just curious can enjoy this film. Amazing visuals, interesting story, funny and memorable characters (rocket was the funniest one, let's be real). I'm glad i reacted to this and if you're reading this please tag along so you don't miss Volume 2 ;)

Hello :) You can watch Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 here, if you want: ruclips.net/video/hfCTD2DoUTM/видео.html
Hey guys! It's me :D haha. Just wanted to let you know that i made captions for this video. They're more accurate than the ones RUclips generates automatically and i know a lot of people rely on them while they're watching content. I don't know if this makes a big difference or not so, if you're a "caption user" please let me know and i'll try to do it more frequently in the future. Sometimes RUclips's captions suck, man. Oh and both, the movie and my comments have been transcripted so there's that :D Hope this is useful! Enjoy the video, guys.
Thank you so very much.
32:14 - LOL, I didn't know your mum was evil incarnate! Do you inherit that trait? It would seriously be a turn off 😑😜
I love Zoe Saldana .
I'm sure the deaf community would thank you
@@theGoogol I don't date women with "sane" mothers. They're hiding something, I don't trust it...
46:41 - "They didn't overuse the cgi which is great." Too funny! Amanda, there is cgi in virtually every frame of this movie. Environments, ships, entire main characters, energy weapons and explosions, entire cities and planets, outerspace, everywhere. Love your reactions!
This movie more than most manages to tie it all together with a cohesive art style, though, and they avoid scenes where the actors are standing around with nothing but a greenscreen behind them
23:14 "If some rich dude would pay you a lot of money to get your corpse -- after you die, of course -- would you do it?" No, I would worry that the rich dude would try to make me reach "corpse status" sooner than I would have otherwise.
Just my opinion. But if you take every appearance into account, Nebula has the best character arc in the MCU.
Y’know, I haven’t given it a lot of thought, but offhand, I’d be inclined to agree.
I agree. She was one of my favourites for that reason.
Yeah she is easily in my top three faves. I loved infinity war a ton but it still sucks we were robbed of a real payoff for Nebula and Gamora's reconciliation.
Nebula and Rocket are my dudes. Vol. 3 opening with the two of them prominent and Radiohead playing, I knew that movie was built for me.
Agreed
One thing to point out is that little groot is not the same groot. it's more like his son.
Not many knew them or what to expect when it hit theaters, most were more than delighted 😊
You are a delightful goofball❤🙂😂😂😂
Goofball humor is a natural part of being Swedish - like Amanda. 😂
She’s back
I always thought the part where she says “who put the sticks up their butts? That is cruel” was funny.
They auditioned dozens of actors for Groot, and none could give the emotion and nuance to repeating the same line over and over that James Gunn (the director) wanted. Then, Vin Diesel auditioned; it was the first thing he had been able to bring himself to read for since Paul Walker died, he used it to grieve and process.
This sounds incredibly made-up and incredibly believable at the same time.
@@samwallaceart288 yep, it’s completely true, there’s plenty of interviews with Gunn and Diesel discussing it. There’s even a pretty decent explanation of it under his cast listing on the Wikipedia page.
At first, you might think Groot is kind of a throw-away role for a voice actor, but I see what you mean. To be its best, the performance requires nuance that's likely to be quite difficult to achieve.
'Pelvic sorcery"....A great line from Gamora.
While it's true that you can watch the first two Guardians of the Galaxy movies without watching any of the rest of the MCU, there are parts of this movie which are important to understanding what's going on in later parts of the MCU. So it's fine to watch these early, but if you are going to watch the MCU from the beginning at some point, when you get to where these movies would normally be next you might want to watch at least this one again just to remind yourself of what's in it. (The second one is mostly important to later MCU movies only to the extent that the Guardians of the Galaxy show up in some of them, and it's good to know what's happened to them before that.)
I just found and subscribed to your channel and have ben binging it all! I love your editing style (especially the early videos ;) ). Please don't change a thing, you are a breath of fresh air amongst the reactor community. I was so excited when i saw you posted this, and look forward to the next one already👍
When upon watching _Midsommar_ she immediately made herself her own crown of flowers to own the "demented cult idol" look, I knew Amanda was built different.
Guardians of the Galaxy has been my favorite Marvel franchise James Gunn, the director, is great.
At the post credits that was supposed to be Laika the first dog in space sent by the Russians and also seen was Harold the Duck, a MCU character made into a movie by George Lucas.
I really like you using your normal accent when pronouncing words, it really does add a lot and makes you distinctive among the reactors. Yea for being different.
In the Christmas special and Vol 3 you get to see Cosmo the Spacedog more, which alone makes both worth it.
yeah, he never actually says "I am Groot", it just sounds like it because of his vocal cords that's the only sound he can make, So no matter what he says it'll always sound like that.
32:13 i absolutely loved the video with your mum jajajajaja you’re both amazing, just the best :3💗💗💫
Hi Amanda, you look very cute!🙂When Zoe Saldana (Uhura) was in the Star Trek film her roomate was a green woman, too. Great reactions to the very well made Guardians of the Galaxy, Amanda!!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
In the overall picture This movie still ties in with the Avengers. The blue cube in the earlier MCU productions is an Infinity stone like the purple one in this movie.
The Collector [Benicio Del Toro's character] is in fact immortal and slightly younger than the age of the universe, he's called The Collector because that's basically all he's done across all space and time (hence the museum) - this means that if you have something that is of interest to him, it is of universal importance, very literally. Also, if you enjoyed Zoe Saldaña in this sci-fi role, she's also in the Star Trek series. And the Avatar series. And the Suicide Squad series. And the Adam Project series. etc. et al. ad inf., true sci-fi royalty. 🍿❤
The third movie is definitely the best one just saw it last Sunday .. The stones are infinitely powerful and each one can control certain parts of reality like time, Reality, Mind, Power, etc... The collector is actually one of the elders of the universe He's a pretty powerful being atleast in comics... You're eventually meet his brother the grandmaster
Usually third films in a series suck. (e.g. The Godfather III, Alien 3, Terminator 3, The Mummy 3, etc). But GoG 3 totally rocks! And we get to have more backstories of our favorite Guardians!
it's interesting how many people think that typing spoilers is somehow helpful
@12:58, this is my favorite line from the movie. Denarian Saal - "What a bunch of a holes."
I literally end watching Vol 3 couple of hours ago. I am stilling crying mess (best possible way) Welcome best Trilogy inside the MCU franchise
Loving the camera set up Amanda. Also out of all the Marvel films. The Guardians are in my top tier. So good choice
And I can see why, this is such a great franchise and i love how they highlight the importance of friendship and family. Thanks again for the Super Thanks! :D
Benicio Del Toro(Taneleer Tivan) has been one of my top 5 favorite actor since I've seen his movies. I've seen him in bad movie's and his acting is always the best. The first movie's movie's I've seen him in were The Unusual Suspects. Sicario and Sin City. Every role he plays is iconic in my opinion.
32:13
i was already subscribed Mom, but now i press the bell too - please dont hurt Amanda
ha ha
The post credit scene showed some of teh Collecters collected things a bit closer, which includes Cosmo the Space Dog, a character from the comics inspired by the real world Laika dog who was send into space, and Howard the Duck, a comedy centric character from the comics who in the past already had some of his own movies. His backstory being that he is from another universe entirely populated by ducks, is a refrence to Duckberg of the Duck Tales universe and the comics of those characters.
You are 10 times better than any spice girl. Always happy to see a new reaction from you❤
You're such a fun, carefree reactor. Thanks for sharing.
Quill had a replica of the orb, because they all had one in case they got to the power stone. Gamora put the stone in her orb
Sadly, the new Groot isn't the same person as the old one. It's more like his son. Groot gave his life to save everyone.
So glad you reacted to Guardians Of The Galaxy Amanda.🤗🥰
THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MARVEL MOVIES I LIKE ROCKET THE MOST ❤❤ U ARE SOOO GORGEOUS 😍🥰 GREAT reaction 😊 IT SHOULD BE CALLED THE BETRAYAL OF THE GALAXY TOO LOL U FUNNY 🤣🤣😂
The post credit scene: there was an 80's movie "Howard the Duck". This established that he was from this universe.
@23:11 If you can forgive me answering a question with another question; once a contract is in place for your corpse, upon corpsification, what prevents the rich eccentric from hastening your end if they get tired of waiting?
I was surprised how much I loved this series. The MCU story is good stuff, and this was a nice side story (at that point in the line).
I totally forgot they say Rocket's "given name" in this movie.
The second is even better!
In the post credit scene that was Howard the Duck, watch his film when you get a chance a must see from from 1986.
Also all phase 1 Marvel (until first avengers movie) can be watched as solo films
Not really. Still better off watched in release order. There are a bunch of cross references from movie to movie. Tony Stark appears in Hulk, Agent Coulson appears in Thor, and his role there is set up in Iron Man 2, Tony's father plays a big role in Captain America etc etc. While not understanding these references won't ruin the movie, understanding them does add to the enjoyment. Contextually, they were meant to be watched in released order... when developed, the understanding was that everyone would have been familiar with what came before.
@@ArmouredPhalanx yea but the references weren’t important to the next story like they were later on and especially now, early cameos are just that cameos, good for those in the know and a point of interest for those not
@@ProHero86 Like I said... not watching them in order doesn't ruin the movie, but you enjoy it a bit more if you do. So sure, you can get away with it, but why make it a lesser experience?
"He's Jesus!" 😂😂😂
I think you would still look good painted green Amanda :)
I love watching your reactions! Eres hermosa jovencita!
Amanda, the duck at the end was Howard the Duck , George Lucas who made a movie called Star Wars made the first? marvel movie, Howard the Duck (1986) , there was a Dr Strange movie in 1978 though
Guardians Vol 2 and Vol 3 are also great
It’s alright if you start with this movie but I highly recommend starting the mcu Journey and watch Iron man next and so on in order
hope you catch the rest of the MCU
We will always be kids at heart
Watch the third one too! They explain everything necessary to understand. Also the story has nothing to do with the larger MCU. Also this is a perfect trilogy and should be appreciated as such.
Drax is super literal, one of the older meanings of "dumb" is speechless or unable to speak. e.g. dumbfounded means rendered speechless.
Love your reactions, you can be SO funny!
Ahahahahahaaa you have a comedy humor, lady
Well, I wouldn't let some poor dude pay me for my corpse.
hey. Thanks. I needed that.
😮 How many times can i watch your video before its creepy hehehe
Thanks!
Thank you so much! :)
I kinda want to see a compilation of Amanda grooving to all the songs featured in Guardians of the Galaxy.
Your reactions always make me smile 😃
Hello from the US! When will you be watching Guardians Vol 2???? It's one of my favorite movies!
Super duper thanks
Amanda you look great and would look just as great if green. Don't fret.
Whatttt 3 was so good.
Truly the best trilogy in all of the MCU. They are the silliest but ironically also have the most heart thanks to all involved especially James Gunn.
After the Captain America trilogy.
@@SchulzEricT It was a close call for me on that. The mediocre second half of Cap 1 is what dragged it down to second place for me.
I know why he's risking his life for her
I think they do a good enough job of explaining everything. You should definitely watch 3. It's the best one.
Honestly you probably could watch the thrid one. You can either watch avengers infinity war and endgame or just look up what happens to the guardians in those movies. But you also might want to consider reacting to the MCU as a whole. It's a pretty easy and reliablel content farm for a reaction channel. lol
"Take my hand"
You know who has hands? THE DEVIL!!!
My viewing list for MCU
• Ironman 1 (the OG but you can start with Avengers if you want)
• Captain America: First Avenger (Cap's origin story is really good but you can start with Avengers if you want)
• *Avengers 1* (must watch; it's cool if you've seen the origin movies first but it's designed to stand well enough on its own)
• *Captain America: Winter Soldier* (must watch)
• Avengers 2 (not the best but future plots rely heavily on it)
• *Captain America: Civil War* (must watch)
• *Guardians... Vol. 2* (must watch)
Then the big one,
• *Avengers: Infinity War* (the best of the whole series + it's where the Guardians become important to the main plot)
Then go directly to
• *Avengers: Endgame* the part 2 to Infinity War.
Then finally,
• *Guardians... Vol. 3* (must watch)
Honorable mentions: Thor Ragnarok leads directly into Infinity War, but it's really not that good IMO (unpopular opinion)
"Captain Marvel" IS NOT necessary viewing for between Infinity War and Endgame; they said that for the marketing and it's a lie.
"Ant-man" and "Ant-man and The Wasp" are way more important to the plot of Endgame BY FAR, and even then, you can skip them, Endgame includes all the context you need by itself if you watch the ones I've listed.
I like Spiderman: Homecoming and Spiderman: No Way Home a lot but they're not for everyone. Homecoming is very chill and small-scale with a different take on Spiderman as a character, and No Way Home is a clusterfuck monstrosity that I only adore because of how it does commentary on Spiderman movies that aren't even in the MCU that won't make sense if you didn't grow up with the character.
Also, Thor 1 is the only good Thor movie.
I like Amanda's blurb of her mother threatening to stab her unless someone subscribes. It reminded me of the cover of an old '70's humor magazine where someone is pointing a large gun at a dog's head. The caption read: "Buy This Magazine Or We'll Kill This Dog!". That magazine cover's image can still be found on the internet.
You look good in any light . . . . ;-)
Sagitarius for sure is what you are.
How could you possibly know that?? 😂😂😂
@@amandamiquilena I can just tell by how you are. I am savvy like that. 😉
@@amandamiquilenau got hacked
Miss seeing your Rick and Morty videos, hope you get back to those again sometime. Would happily watch you do an MCU run but please watch in release order. Sure, you can watch Guardians 2 first if you really want to but then it's gonna be quite a bit of time before you see them again. At the very least I recommend you watch Iron Man (2008) before that and then decide how you want to proceed. Whatever you do, ignore any chronological order lists.
She already started and watched Iron Man AND the Hulk, however she did begin with Avengers only to be informed of the order afterwards.
dead inside
Please watch all MCU movies starting with Iron man. Thanks.

The Cell (2000) react ❤
are you gonna react to the whole mcu?
No, no, no. Why did nobody tell you to watch the mcu movies in release order? This is all screwed up. It alters the experience.
I'm glad you liked it. Chris Pratt is one of my favorite actors, and I unabashedly admit to a man crush on him. You're always fun to watch too my darling.
Hey, Amanda! Although a highly popular series, this is actually a poor adaptation of the source material which reduces the scope and grandeur of Marvel Cosmic to juvenile silliness. There were two iterations of the team that are far superior to their film counterparts. The 1990s Jim Valentino Guardians were each the sole survivor of their respective homeworlds in an alternate 31st-century who united under the leadership of a time-displaced 20th-century character serving the same function for the team that Captain America did for the Avengers. They fought against the Badoon who had conquered the solar system. Yondu, a Centaurian, was actually from that team who used a bow to fire his yaka arrows whereas Michael Rooker whistles to direct his sound-sensitive yaka arrow. This alteration is actually clever.
The film characters are based on the 2000s Dan Abnett-Andy Lanning iteration of the team who were down-on-their-luck misfits brought together against the Annihilation Wave, a terrifying insectoid horde led by Annihilus, a staple Marvel space villain. Peter Quill is supposed to be world-weary drifter who has seen too much to care about anything but Chris Pratt plays him like a frat-boy goofball. Gamora is fiercely portrayed by Zoe Saldana but is never given a proper showcase to confirm her as the 'deadliest woman in the galaxy'. Dave Bautista does impressively mine comedy gold by blending two versions of Drax the Destroyer threading the needle between his 1970s dense persona and his 2000s formidable persona. He is a standout. Bradley Cooper does nail Rocket Raccoon as a resourceful, smart-mouthed brawler with a mean streak. The enigmatic Groot is adapted accurately and happens to be the only character actually created by Stan Lee. He is needlessly voiced by Vin Diesel who should have played Ronan the Accuser instead. Lee Pace, a fine actor, is reduced to portraying the complex and noble Kree adjudicator as a one-dimensional maniacal zealot bent on genocide which was a waste of both the character and actor. Karen Gillan plays the space pirate Nebula who claims Thanos as a grandfather in the comics whereas she is reframed as his second adoptive daughter in the movie. Thanos makes his first major appearance played well by Josh Brolin after being hinted at in "Avengers" and Benicio del Toro is sheer genius as Taneleer Tivan, the Collector.
The Nova Corps space police, the Kyln prison, the severed Celestial head known as Knowhere Station, Cosmo the canine cosmonaut and Howard the Duck are all from the comics.
If they had adapted the comics faithfully, audiences would have been treated to an incredible space opera with very real stakes rather than a cartoonish comedy which is a real shame. I encourage you to read the source material if you truly want some excellent storytelling with these characters. Only people who never read the comics thought these movies were amazing because they had no frame of reference. Everyone in the know realized what a missed opportunity this was.
You do realize, Amanda, that this is a key chapter in a 22-film saga. You are missing out on one of cinema's greatest achievements by seeing only a portion of the whole story out of order. Why would you elect to rob yourself of experiencing one of the greatest epics ever put on film? I don't understand why anyone would willingly choose to deprive themselves of such a rewarding journey. If you just see "Guardians" movies, you're not going to understand all the developments if you skip the rest of the saga because they're all interconnected. That is the whole point of the enterprise!
The next chronological stop in the MCU are three "I Am Groot" animated shorts: "Groot's First Steps", "The Little Guy", "Groot Takes a Bath".
"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" occurs just months later and can be seen next chronologically after the animated shorts.
Just so you are aware, Marvel Universe co-creator Stan Lee appears in a cameo in most Marvel movies. He and Jack Kirby co-created this interconnected universe and its characters in 1961. In "Guardians of the Galaxy", he's the elderly lothario Rocket spies hitting on a young woman while he's scanning for bounties on Xandar.
PHASE 1: (Hulk (2003))-->Iron Man-->Iron Man 2-->Incredible Hulk-->Thor-->Captain America: The First Avenger-->Avengers
PHASE 2: Iron Man 3-->Thor: The Dark World-->Captain America: The Winter Soldier-->GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY-->GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2-->Avengers: Age of Ultron-->Ant-Man
PHASE 3: Captain America: Civil War-->Black Widow-->Black Panther-->Spider-Man: Homecoming-->(Venom)-->Doctor Strange-->Thor: Ragnarok-->Ant-Man and the Wasp-->AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR-->Captain Marvel-->AVENGERS: ENDGAME
Hulk (2003) is proto-MCU, the first excellent but commercially unsuccessful attempt
Venom is MCU-adjacent and necessary because the sequel partially occurs in the MCU
The end-credits for "Ant-Man and the Wasp" should be seen AFTER "Infinity War".
The end-credit for "Black Widow" should be seen AFTER "Endgame".
"Black Widow" is Phase 4 but occurs chronologically where it's placed.
I deeply appreciate the comic lore you provided here.
Kinda lost me with the claim that the MCU is a deep masterpiece that needs to be watched in order, though. There's some excellent work in this series but more than half of it doesn't pull its weight, lol
The perfect blend of humour, heart, and music are the only reasons these movies work. This movie would NOT have worked without even just 1 of these 3 components. What you miss is that between the humour there is an unbelievable amount of heart, and themes of family run through the DNA of the entire trilogy, humour is not the enemy. It can be done well, and it can be done poorly. James Gunn was BORN to make these movies. That is just the reality. It is the most praised trilogy in the entire MCU for a very good reason, only James Gunn makes you feel this way. Nobody else would have it any other way, only you. The perfect trilogy. There was no missed opportunity, any description of these movies as just "cartoonish comedies" misses the entire point.
I didn't read much of your treatise here, but have to disagree with your characterization of this as "juvenile silliness." While I _do_ consider many modern comedies juvenile and therefore not to my taste -- such as Adam Sandler films and the American Pie franchise -- Guardians of the Galaxy does not stoop to the crass biological and raunchy humor that are central to juvenile comedy.
While perhaps not high art but populist entertainment, it is populist entertainment of extremely high quality that successfully adapted a comic universe and achieved an interconnected narrative across multiple cinematic franchises and studios that culminated in a pair of the most popular blockbusters of all time. Regardless of whether you consider much of it low-brow material, it is a landmark series in the history of film accomplishing what only the Universal horror cycle did in the 1940s but on a much more massive scale. While not every single chapter is necessary, seeing the films in sequence is precisely how they were designed. If one were to jump in at the very end, the impact would be significantly diluted and the narrative would be quite confusing. The finale is not meant to stand alone and most chapters are built on the shoulders of their predecessors.@@samwallaceart288
I don't know. There's talk of a-holes, b-holes, male organs and turds. Peter acts like a frat-boy. The Ravagers are sniggering morons. Everyone uses Earth vernacular. Everyone comes off as pretty silly. If they had adapted the comics faithfully, audiences would have been treated to an incredible space opera with very real stakes rather than a cartoonish comedy which is a real shame. I encourage you to read the source material if you truly want some excellent storytelling with these characters. Only people who never read the comics thought these movies were amazing because they had no frame of reference. Everyone in the know realized what a missed opportunity this was.@@bigdream_dreambig

Subscribe or my mom will stab me?? Jajajaja loca, me encanta tu canal 😅
Bueno primero, me confundistes con el intro, brincaste de tema a otro🤔🤔, y segundo los 80s era una decada bien divertida. Me encanto la reaccion, como siempre bien chistosa. Espero que te guste la segunda pelicula de esta serie. Hasta Pronto!
Why would you want to watch these without also watching the rest of the MCU? makes no sense
Id love to see her reaction to Batman vs Superman Ultimate Edition
Yeah or she could watch this movie called Literally Anything Else
gotta do
MCU
Started to watch but honestly couldn't get through the intro.
So now all of a sudden you are just doing random MCU movies out of order??? I am sure you have some fantastic movie recommendations from your coummunity. But nah lets just react to a random MCU movie 😑
She did take recommendations from the community about this. She asked if there was MCU self contained stuff she could watch without committing to all of them.
It wasn't random.
Guardians is a solid one-off.
MCU pretty overrated if you ask me, but this one is good.
Had to rewatch this to watch your reaction to the 2nd!
You're such a fun, carefree reactor. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
Thank YOU! I appreciate this :)
@@amandamiquilena could you send me the PO box for goodies? I know something you'll like. I can send you request via Instagram
No, no, no. Why did nobody tell you to watch the mcu movies in release order? This is all screwed up. It alters the experience.
