This was a very satisfying end to probably my favorite series from the MCU. I pretty much grew up with the trilogy since I saw the first movie back in middle school and the second one in my Junior year of high school. There was maybe one scene where I rolled my eyes cause of the issue you pointed out about the tonal whiplash, and I wish Adam Warlock had more screentime, but other than those, it was solid. Also High Evolutionary goes up there with characters like Stormfront on my "Absolutely Unredemable Villains" list.
It definitely feels like the most consistent trilogy in the MCU, and now that you mention it, I like how the High Evolutionary is an old school “I’m bad just because” villain.
Not 'for a while' I'm afraid. I think this is honestly the LAST great MCU film we're going to get. Feige and the rest of the creative crew don't seem to be learning anything. James Gunn had his own way and now he's done. Let's just be glad we got this.
Don't say James is done. It makes me think of my brother. If God can do anything I am calling on the Dry Bones. I want my brother back. All I hear is this great might and power God has so I am being selfish and not exactly tempting my God but I am calling him out. I need to see an impossible miracle and that would be Jamie
I thought this movie was amazing. That being said, I think it's a good thing that James had a vision for ending the series. Even though I'd love to see more, I also acknowledge that I don't want it to become drawn out and stale, due to movie executives who want to milk it until it's tiresome. It'll be interesting to see what James does next in the DCU.
its an end to the chapter with that group of Characters, but not the end of the Guardians. weather or not we see what the new team does is irrelevant, the idea of them continuing on their given paths is enough, which is the best way to end it imo. like a book series the contains several arcs. all the books create their own contained story to an end but can have different stories in the same universe that may or may not involve the previous characters. With James Gunn stating that he is a story teller first, and a director being just one of many ways to tell that story, gives some hope that the DCU could set up and lead down a interesting story rather than random plots without a story, or a week story.
I would put Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3 at the top of all MCU films on my list. Its a Roller Coaster of Emotions. So few movies can make the previous ones better, and the ground work put into the previous ones is payed off so well with vol 3 you can go back and re watch the previous ones and get context for why the things the characters say the lines in the way it was said. There is a lot of things that are good about the other MCU movies but none of them have this kind of impact at this sort of pacing. the use of Flash backs is perfect for the idea that what we are able to see is Rocket's life, flashing before him as he draws closer to that last breath. This movie seems to actually give a Real answer to the meaning of life question. and its done in a way that it can be saying multiple things within the same lines. the movie is dense with value imo. I rate it a 42 out of 10 on my personal scale. Saw the movie 15 times in the Theater.
Agreed. I thought Ant-Man: Quantumania was okay, as well. Not the best MCU offering, but far from the worst. Everything can't be Avengers:Endgame, which had, in effect, 11 years worth of build-up to it. Nor can everyting have the baked-in 20-year foundation of nostalgia underpinning Spider-Man NWH. Just because it isn't MIND-BLOWING, that doesn't mean it's BAD. GOTG3 though, with only a couple of exceptions in the plot, is an undisputed work of true art.
"Love him or hate him..." Not sure who hates him (Gunn) - well, yes, right wing trolls who motivated his firing due to his outspoken stance on things political - but pretty much everyone who works with him seems to adore him. Decent guy, brings in and works with decent people, treats everyone decently - and also creates masterpieces that are superficially spectacles and joyous space-opera but are also moving journeys through trauma and growth and empathy.
I really was afraid Disney was going to screw this movie up. It's probably going to be the last decent MCU film until Disney loses so much money they have to sell it off. Keeping my fingers crossed. Oh, and Ant Man 3 wasn't that bad.

@@BryanTheCineaste and didn't give two shits about it!! He was something! Damn near Joffrey Lannister levels of annoyance and cruelty

It sadly seems like it and I agree, I just didn’t want to end the video on such a sour note. 😅

James Gunn is really a great director,MCU shouldn't have let him go!
It's unfortunate that the MCU isn't the MCU of old.

It was so good I knew it would be, I honestly knew it
James Gunn hasn't missed once.

0:17 Ant Man 3 wasn't that bad, man. It was by no means the best MCU film, but I think its definitely over hated.

I’m gonna have to disagree with you, watching that was a HORRIBLE experience
I enjoyed it.

A quick look at Twitter was my inspiration behind that phrase, there are people who legitimately despise him on both ends of the political spectrum.
@@BryanTheCineaste I don't know whether Twitter commentary should be used to judge someone's character 😉
When Secret Wars comes out in 2026, there won't be any franchise in the world to rival the MCU.
It was awesome!!!

Why do I have books that have names like Robert W. MITCHELL in them? Along with John Webb?
0:36 not quite. Actually he is the only one at the moment who even has a distinct style.
Good vid :) new sub
Thank you! 😁
Masterpiece movie. ❤️
He almost killed a major character every other scene that shit got old a hour in and had me hoping someone would just fucking die already
I feel like Multiverse of Madness gets WAY too much hate.
``to feal something`` (other than cringe)
this film wos so rubbish
