Hey man I have an idea let's take the one of the best characters and slaughter him in the opening minute and then we can give a shyte movie to watch until he is revived in the last 10 minutes
Oh and let's introduce Adam Warlock for the first time since people been watching and waiting for him to come for literally years..and let's make him literally just a retarded no purpose no drive no common sense character the gets into nothing but pointless crashes ...way to go idiots
Totally agree about the Gamora ending. This is NOT the same person, and I think it would’ve been a cop out to make this one fall for Peter, it worked better for Peter to accept that his Gamora is gone and have those memories & and this one go her own path.
She is not the same person but she kinda is as the Gamora who died is just this Gamora but with character development and some more time spent with The Guardians of the Galaxy. Its kind of weird, she isn't a completely different person
@adam adam well if you take a huge event out of your life, your a different person. I join the army, I'm a different person if I got to college instead.
Loved the scene towards the end of the movie. Rocket decides to end it and not run anymore and walks back into the higher evolutionary ship. Gamora looked at the group like NO we are leaving. Without a word spoken the team followed rocket. Gamora was impressed and disgusted at same time. It was an unspoken bond they were going to fight for each other. It was a quick scene but had a lot of impact.
james gunn sure does know how characters work peter going from "you are her, you just don't remember" to "you aren't her, but you could be" to "WHO EVEN ARE YOU?! WHY DID YOU SHOOT THAT PERSON?!" to "ok you are a different person i get it. have fun" was character development and a half
It made him look like an idiot tho. It's obvious to everyone that she isn't the same person, that she is entirely different from the girl they all knew. His continued insistence for even a little bit only served to degrade his character and make him look like a fool. Everything still could have been accomplished had he just used the word "her" instead of "you" and it would have maintained starlords credibility. As it stands, he is just a goofy comic relief character. And emotional manipulation in this movie was off the charts. It was insultingly bad. Plus Kang 2.0 was just as one dimensional and hard to watch as most of the villains coming out today. Aside from all that I would still say it was an okay movie if not for one scene ..one damn stupid pinnacle of manipulation scene. A scene so bad it's up there with Indy getting in a refrigerator to survive an atomic bomb, or Leonard Nimoy butchering his iconic wrath of Khan line for transformers. The baby Raccoons scene ... Ruined the movie. With a few easy direction changes this movie could have been amazing, as it stands, it was just disappointing.
@@chrisnotyou I mean, it makes sense that Peter is acting like that since Gamora has only been dead for a short time to to him and he hasn't had time to grief, and knowing that she is technically still out there is preventing him from accepting it and moving on, the movie shows that what he really needed was time with the current her for him to comprehend that they aren't the same person
Gotta say this is my favorite Marvel franchise. The cast chemistry, the originality, the music. The characters are all likable, and you feel somewhat connected to them. Glad they came full circle with the story.
The deaths in this movie somehow hit harder than any deaths in the MCU so far... I was literally shedding tears for animated characters I was just introduced to. Rocket's story is sadder than The Notebook.
@@pigglesgoomshby7249 Yeah, I was in denial leading up to the scene... I knew they were going to die... But my head was like "maybe they are still being held captive and the Guardians will rescue them and reunite them with Rocket!"
I really loved how when Rocket and the Guardians shifted into a new generation, it was symbolized by his choice of music. No longer playing hits of the 80s or 90s but finally entering the early 2000s playlist
I loved it! A great way to end Gunns' trilogy. I felt the main characters all had a good arc. I liked Will Poulter as Adam Warlock. It's probably the best film since No Way Home.
I was not ready for this film.... fuck it was proper dark at points... (I'll never get over what they did to the rabbit) ....it was 2.5 hrs long and that flew by. I thought this was such a good movie... apart from a couple of thing, this was the best thing marvel has brought out since endgame
Adam Warlock is underused but the ending implies that we will be seeing more of him and this movie was a finale for the Guardians as a team of which Adam isn't. Plus he still is very important to the movie the whole movie happens because of what he does at the start.
i think adam warlock is OVER USED in this movie. gunn even said he was forced to shoehorn him into the story at the last minute, giving him things to do that were probably meant for other characters originally (hurting rocket, saving peter) or not supposed to happen at all (showing the henchman they mean business - moments later nathan fillion references him like he wasnt just murdered in front of him) it would have been better if adam was teased, like he almost destroys the crew but fails so high evolutionary takes him in for 'upgrading' (tearing him apart to give his best attributes to a superior vessel, maybe giving him a soul stone somehow) and we are teased that the being is getting so powerful it can xyz but due to its naivety doesnt know it will be scrapped for parts or whatever, rocket realizes what is happening to adam as a parallel and saves him from the exploding space ship, prompting him to want to join those who accept him as he is, the GoG adam gets 20 min of screen time, more than the high evolutionary. cut adam down to about 5 minutes and it makes the movie almost a perfect 2 hours, and flows a lot more naturally.. but i get it.. business.. money.
This channel has increasingly become a cesspool of complaints. At the end of the day these are kids movies about comic books and we’ve got grown adults crying that they’re not cinematic masterpieces
This seemed obvious to me. Especially when Warlock becomes a Guardian at the end. How do people not realize that hes coming back, and he will become smarter. Do people not want a character arc?
The movie felt like a rollercoaster of emotions! I was in tears and then I would burst out laughing. Then I was infuriated and then sad again, or happy! It was wild and fun and it meant something to this cast and to the director. I think Marvel has noticed that people will watch ANYTHING they put out there and that's what's made the movie quality go down. We need more James Guns and GOTG crews working at Marvel.
Was surprised at how much I liked it. The baby Rocket scenes with his friends were hard to watch, but I get why they were the way they were, and the payoff we received at the end was worth it. Liked Gamora's arc, liked Rocket's arc, really not many gripes.
arguably the best trilogy in the MCU. Made characters that only hardcore fans knew to a household name. Great send off. I’m so glad to even be alive when these movies were made. What a time to be alive.
Like Whitney, I also really liked the way Gamora's story ended; both of them. Gamora dying in Infinity War was absolutely tragic, and unfortunately, tragedy seems to follow Peter Quill. His mom died, got kidnapped on the same day it happened, followed up with a rough, borderline abusive upbringing, etc. Until he met Gamora, he had no good and/or real relationships, but then he met Gamora and the rest. At any time any one of them could've left the group, if they didn't really want in their heart of hearts ppl of their own to love and be loved by in return. Instead, each one chose to stick around and build on the relationships. The new Gamora's ending was touching because to me, it showed that no matter who Gamora is, she still wants that same thing, a family. This Gamora just happened to find it with the Ravagers instead of our beloved crew. Also, this Gamora never had a falling out with her sister, so it makes sense that they'd still be in contact, considering also Nebula's growth as an individual.
The situation with Gamora isn’t a twin sister situation like some are mistakenly comparing. She IS Gamora just from a slightly earlier point in timeline which means she is very much fundamentally the same character that left Thanos, joined the Guardians, and fell in love with Peter. Given enough time Peter absolutely could successfully woo her again. I mean that’s kinda his superpower. And you could see her character arc where in the beginning she was like Gamora in Guardians 1 with a lot of contempt for Peter as a clown but by the end you could tell she understood how a version of her could have fallen in love with him and the movie hints it could happen again. I’m glad he doesn’t get her back in this movie because it would have rung false and been too quick and easy but you’re crazy if you think he’s isn’t getting her back later. She said “I don’t think so” at the beginning to “we must have been fun together” at the end. I think that’s all the subtext you need. He let her go at the end but she’ll eventually come back to him. Book it.
@ryansibley7656 it would not have been the same travel but the destination would be the same for these 2. Some couples are written in the stars to sound sappy and I think that's where they were. I thought for sure while she was looking through Peter's backpack she'd find something that was theirs together and get her thinking. Peter definitely earned her respect and you could see the change happening throughout the movie. IF Zoe comes back and Pratt comes back I bet they'll be matched again. Just my opinion.
The movie does not outright set anything up, but it does leave some interesting characters ready to be used, hopefully, in a great way. I would love to see a future move where Adam Warlock is seen possibly becoming evil, and Phyla has so much potential. Out of all the recently introduced kid heroes, she's the one with the most interesting comic book stories and I hope they do something great with her.
In a way, I'm relieved that runtime of this movie wasn't wasted for set-up for future Marvel projects. I think that Marvel has become too obsessed with set-up lately to the point that they don't let anything have its own identity.
I love how James Gunn took a bunch of misfits and turned them into a family with emotional trauma connecting them all together and how they rise and overcome said trauma to be a better person for their family and the world at large absolutely brilliant trilogy wish we get more like this from other studios
So the movie where nobody dies is sad than the movie where Gamora got thrown off a cliff to her death by her father? This is nonsense because Guardians has at least a happy ending.
Got back from the cinema about an hour ago. I absolutely loved it. One of the best blockbusters I've seen in years. Dark as all hell. Looked incredible. Sounded incredible. Zero connection to the wider MCU. Flat out the best action Sci-Fi film I've seen in years.
@@NewYorkFloridaMan No Gods. No Masters. My opinions are none but my own. Doubt you've even seen the film. If you have, please articulate why you think it was boring. It was the exact opposite of corny and boring.
Was it mentioned that it seemed like Rocket's love for music was being set up in volume 2? In the beginning he blames Peter for needing to set up music while they get the batteries and fight. Then again when he and Yondu were escaping, he asked if there was any of Peter's music on the ship.
I really wanted Gamora to save Peter in the end instead of the one who did. It would have been a perfect reference to the scene in which Peter saves Gamora on Nowhere!
It’s almost like most of you missed the whole point of Adam. He was pulled early from his cocoon he’s basically like wtf am I doing here. He’s a baby and I’m excited for his future cause he’s going to be a big player and a badass. Thank you for saving Peter it redeemed for almost killing our buddy rocket
I also like to think of the GOTG trilogy as Rocket's origin story, how he becomes Captain Rocket of the Guardians. Since it's been his story all along it would make sense that, continuing on, if they make any more GoTG movies it'll follow Rocket with his new and evolving crew. Perhaps even going into what Rocket does when he doesn't want to be in charge of the Guardians anymore. Old members can come back from time to time, so there's still a lot to play with in this neck of the Marvel woods.
It was explicitly stated that “Adam” was woken early - as the High Evolutionary had tasked the Sovereign to retrieve Rockets brain. So I took that as why he was confused/underpowered. I mean…you don’t want another Superman/Captain Marvel, as he would have snatched Rocket at the start and would never have been able to be stabbed by Nebula. Movie over.
I kinda wanted Adam Warlock to develop just a little bit, but I like that he seemingly joined the Guardians at the end - or did he? Hopefully we get the answer in a later movie
@@mikepowers9486 Of course I watched the mid- and post credit scenes. They didn't give much information, though. Adam Warlock is just there. Hopefully he isn't forgotten in upcoming movies.
Love the movie although I interpreted the Groot ( I love you guys ) at end as James gun finally allowing us to understand griots language rather than him switching English or common tongue lol
Definitely the best MCU film since Endgame. I think Adam was used right. He didn't overshadow the rest of the movie and he was introduced but it was good that he wasn't introduced as seasoned or already knowing how to use his powers at full potential. It leaves room for growth, character development and his story is open to go in any way. As for the new Guardian lineup, it reminds me of the Avenger lineup after Age of Ultron. Some went away there was some new additions so hopefully we get to see more Guardian movies.
Totally agree about the new Gamora being welcomed in such a beautiful way by her new ravager family. They seem like a happy and well adjusted bunch.... Of Ravagers lol!
There's a lot of great, beautiful emotional scenes in this movie. There's quite a few that make the world of GOTG come full circle, and will become a classic. One majorly beautiful scene was when Peter brought rocket back. Knowing everything that Rocket has gone through, and his first words were "Where's Nebula?" With everything that he was feeling, and he cleverly masked the emotion behind his question; they have a beautiful friendship that started to develop in endgame.
This is literally the best MCU movie in a while. I was totally engaged with the story and characters. Rocket instantly becoming my favourite guardian followed by Nebula.
Such an amazing movie! Didn’t second guess what so ever ! Amazing work all around. If your second guessing to watch this movie don’t I promise you, you won’t regret it !
Heavy comment: after my wife's brother died I lost her to grief. I spent years like Star-lord wishing her back, watching her with other guys but thinking of our 3 kids and just wanting to put the family back. Now, far removed, I'm getting married this week to a new beautiful woman who is my best friend and lover and will be an amazing step-mom. This movie was a nice touch to me. "I bet we were fun..." That line hit hard. We were fun, but it's time for something new, time to move on.
Loved it. Already saw it twice in theaters and I can’t remember the last time I did that with the MCU. Hell I can’t remember the last time I saw one of these on opening night. Multiverse of Madness maybe? Speaking of which like Raimi, Gunn just kind of gets it. The pulpy…ness. The sincerity and cheese mixed with really hard almost unsettling moments. There is a singular voice to these Guardians movies where Gunn is wrestling with some tough and personal stuff and he’s only grown as a filmmaker. While counter earth has some of that muddy grey look to it, this is generally well lit and lively in not only its framing, but also camera movement. This will be one of Marvel’s last highs for a while. Loved it and I will miss this gang, but I kind hope we never see them in this current timeline. Perfect ending.
Coming out of this movie. I shared that same sense of opening night, midnight release, hyped to tell everyone to go see it and see it again type of feeling. Something that I personally haven't had since No Way Home. Honestly, as much as I love to see them turn themselves around and produce some great stuff leading into king dynasty and secret wars, I think many people could see guardians 3 being a final epilogue in the MCU and closing out the universe altogether. I personally don't feel like anything could top the level of action and adventure as well as deep and meaningful storytelling, character development, and finality that we've had between end game and guardians 3
The idea with Warlock is that he was taken out of his cocoon early - It is even said specifically in the movie this is the case. He's very much comparable to Vison; being a born-yesterday type. I don't know how well Marvel is going to go with Gunn away on the competitors team, but we shall see.
Guardians of the galaxy is my favorite MCU movie because the settings is very unique, and fun I'm definitely going to miss this old formation of the guardians, but at least it ended on a high note ,and I will forever cherish those movie it been a great journey bravo James Gunn excited to see what he has in store for DC.
I watched this with people that never read comics; And they loved Adam Warlock and thought that he was adorable, specially at the end where he awkwardly joins the group hug.
One of the more impactful things to me is that Peter and Gamora don't get back together and Peter accepting that. Sometimes you breakup and you stay broken up. To me, that's James Gunn being more realistic and not completely pandering to the audience as 2014 Gamore isn't the same person and really doesn't owe Peter anything.
I haven't watched the movie yet, but i dont mind adam warlock is like a giant baby. he was born recently so i would like to see him go from geing a dummy to "space jesus", I think it could make for good character ark. Edit: if they actually do anything with him again, if they do it would be amazing.
i thought it was great. Literally just saw it. There were moments where i thought they would all die at points. And it was a nice ending where they all met their destiny- drax a father, nebula making a home for experimented kids like her, that she never had. Usually no one stays for post credit scenes, but today everyone stayed for both. Also, first
I loved so many things about this movie! I remember being super excited when it was announced that Will Poulter would be Adam Warlock; and inn my humble opinion, he did not disappoint. I like that this is his origin story, I don't want to be introduced to another overpowered character that's already perfect in every way. It's going to be a lot more fun watching Adam grow into the character we all know him to be. Will naturally has that dry British wit and it works perfectly for him here, coming out as genuine and ignorant instead of dry sarcasm.
Loved it! Great end to the Trilogy IMO and like you, the few gripes I have upon my initial watch will probably fade with each rewatch. Great Content as always, You and Doug are the best! 🤓📽️🍿🎬🐶
Great discussion. I had to jump in as someone who is the huge Adam Warlock fan. I started reading his stories with the Jim Starlin original run when I was a little kid. He was immediately my favorite Marvel character, and since then I have collected every appearance up through when Starlin left Marvel and other writers took over the character (and did not understand him). I used to draw Warlock in my school notebooks. So if anyone could be critical of the way he was used in GotG 3, it would be me. I thought it was just fine! Look, as Ryan alluded to, for a long time Warlock in the comics was this misguided man-child. He broke out of his cocoon and spent several years doing naive things, like kidnapping Thor's girlfriend because Adam wanted a mate. So actually, I will claim that this take on the character is actually pretty comic accurate. And I am actually glad the angsty Starlin Warlock cosmic story was not touched, because that needs its own movie(s). And we had better get the psycho clowns scenes that were a parody of Marvel execs! Warlock did not become this character until Starlin created a group of characters based on a psychology class he took wherein each character represented different mental illnesses or states. In one of those old comic interview magazines if I recall Starlin said Warlock was paranoid schizophrenia. I actually dread and look forward to a Warlock-centric movie because the Starlin cosmic saga (Captain Marvel, Warlock, Silver Surfer, Thanos Quest, Infinity Gauntlet/War/Crusade) was easily the best cosmic story every written for Marvel. One note about Gamora - she was Warlock's girlfriend for decades in the comics. So I was actually glad this Gamora did not hook up with Peter, because hopefully she and Warlock can get together. And remember, Warlock can incubate in another cacoon and re-emerge as a completely changed character. We have had naive Warlock, Paranoid Schizophrenic Warlock, Post Soul-World Warlock, the Infinity Watch Warlock, he was even the Living Tribunal for awhile.
There is a salient reason why the FX in this movie were superior - James Gunn writes scripts. Having a complete script means that the FX team have sufficient time to create them, as opposed to making up / changing crucial shtuff somewhat on the fly which means that team then needs to scrabble around to accommodate.
@screencrush a couple of things I think went overlooked: the flashback when the high evolutionary frantically interrupted his "treatments" to find P13. The elaboration of the treatments seem to have passed us by. The second one is the guardians scene in the hallway outside the spaceport on the high evolutionary's ship. Gamora and Drax used their iconic weapons (awesome add). Love the channel!
I feel the audience really care about the Guardians more so then other MCU heroes for the following reasons. I think you have really horrible pasts from each of the Guardians.. and you see and feel the loss of each member and makes you understand why they care so much about the ones in their lives now and do anything not to lose them like they some have ( lost a Mom / had family murdered / tortured by a tyrant / experimented on etc ). That in turn it really gets the audience to buy in why each member of the Guardians will go to the end of the earth for their friends. When you saw Starlord not blink that he was going to save his friend Rocket.. it was totally believable for him. When Rocket wanted go back after the high Evolutionary .. his friends didn't blink.. they would go to the end for Rocket their friend. No other MCU franchise do you get that one hero really cares about any one person the way the Guardians do for each other.
I think its like, we get so comfortable with our family, and annoyed, we can be extra rude or aggressive with them, because we know we will always come back to gether and love each other... I really related to the agitation they are all experiencing with one another and ways to move past it... I am experiencing this with my fam right now
Yes! Seriously...there were moments I was so stressed, I was covering my face and freaking out. I actually don't think I've ever felt that in a theater.
Did Anyone else notice Gamora hair? It's just another way the director showed she was a different person. The Gamora we knew had fluffier hair, the new Gamora has almost wet hair. it felt flatter, and more greasy then our Gamora.
What changed (in the Universe and for the characters) between the start and the end - not much - so no, not good. The only thing of significance was that Adam is no longer a puppet; just a shame he was brought out of gestation early to separate him from his OP comic book potential.
Totally agree. Captain America WAS my favorite line until Guardians 3. Now this is my favorite. I will say that Captain is still my favorite CHARACTER, but I love each Guardian equally. Good analysis as always Ryan.
Whitney made such a great point about rocket and Adam. They’re characters with where they’re at now will make such a great dynamic for the future. Rocket being an established genius, (maybe smarter than shuri, banner, and Tony) coupled with the naivety of Adam will be great for the future of the mcu and Adam having a mentor.
That true it was emotional too. I think the difference is you knew about the emotions in BP 2 , in GOTG3 it was unpredictable emotions. If that makes sense.
This should’ve started phase 4 with a Galactus end credit scene. And the chaos from the blip being the prime focus of phase 4. Introduce FF. X Men. They needed to go big after the Avengers/Thanos arc ended to keep momentum going. Instead they went with low quality quantity with stuff that isn’t even connected-Eternals, for example, has basically been ignored. Recast Black Panther not kill him off. Phase 4 felt like the CW MCU.
I expected Adam to show up towards the end of the movie and kick the snot out of someone. But the scene explaining that he did finish growing before they pulled him out of the thing he was growing in was good.
One thing that I thought was weird was the absence of Peter's space helmet and rocket boots that he had in all the other movies. Maybe he got rid of them and i just dont remember it but it just seemed weird that he didnt have them solely because of the near death experience he had at the end.
@Kuhan Block I'm sure they can afford the 30s of cgi his mask would've had, he never wore it much to begin with but the fact that it was missing completely just seemed weird
@@Cosm1c_Donut Finally somebody else pointed this out, this annoyed me during the movie because I like his mask, but I realized at the end they did it just so they could have the near death scene. Unless I missed a part in the beginning where he left it since he was hungover when they left for Rocket. But that should have been addressed and is a plot hole for the moment.
Couldn’t agree less. Adam warlock and Gamora we’re not needed in the movie at all. If those two were removed, the movie would’ve still ended up the exact same. And some of the needle drops were just weird and off, provided I haven’t seen it since it’s release.
Gunn was given a heads up about Gamora. He was asked if he could work with it. They were sending him all kinds of unfinished scripts of every movie for notes.
Both Guardians 1 & 3 make the top of the list for me amongst their MCU counterparts. For me personally, I am a Star Lord fan so the first Guardians holds that top spot. I think Rocket fans will rank this one higher. But I will say after watching Peter lose so much in 1, 2, IW and End Game; seeing everyone just embrace him after his near death experience hit me right in the feels.
Not even, I found it to be subversively pushing religion when Rocket was near death and there is an afterlife, as well as the villain being referred to as the Evolutionary which says to me that someone has an issue with Darwin's theory of evolution. I also didn't like the way he says "you just hate the way things are." Some people have good reason to hate the way things are if their environment is unpleasant and limits their choices, the real problem was the Evolutionary didn't accept the creatures the way they are, and he seems to have had a God complex as well. I don't find that subtle. This isn't that I don't like things about the movie. I think the yelling is a strength. When people have differences and are being emotional, they often escalate their voices. It was fun action movie, but I still found the previous two Guardian movies more appealing. I also liked the heated arguments that the characters had with each other. It seemed more realistic to me that they can be so angry with each other but still retain that close personal bond.
Adam Warlock was portrayed this was because it was said in the movie he was basically a child. Few movies from now he might be closer to his comic book persona.
I think the Guardians of the Galaxy is my favorite trilogy and favorite superhero group. I would love to see more films with these characters but I am happy with how this third film brings everything full circle for these characters. Despite the little plots in other marvel films that had forced some of the decisions for this movie’s plots, the characters were still amazing. By far the biggest roller coaster ride
I agree with Ryan on the yelling thing. It was something I noticed when watching the film and it was definitely a negative aspect for me. It felt forced a lot of the time, especially with Mantis…on a side note, the whole ignoring Doug when he asked for a cut of the t-shirt proceeds was classic. 😂
I noticed it started or becoming hard in vol2. My kid mentioned why are they always fighting and yelling at each other. This one he eventually tuned them out.
Adam was handled perfectly, and they didn't kill him off! He is kind of finding his way at the end, which reminded me of Scarlet Witch at the end of Avengers Ultron. Everyone gets an arc, and his can be growing into his comic self. We will see him beng more important in the future, no doubt.
I really appreciated Drax’s use of language. He uses words that others may deem as mean with no ill will. Only what he sees as true. His teammates don’t hate him for it. They accept him for who he is & don’t demean for it. I see what James Gunn did there. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
In the meantime is my favorite song of all time and when they dropped no sleep to Brooklyn with them all going into battle badass. That legit put a smile on my face
This movie was fantastic. Just the right bkend of humor, emotion and the quirkiness i needed to have with my screen friends coming back together again. It felt familiar. Loved it. Outside of Spiderman and Dr. Strange, this is the best offing from phase 4. It will age even better when it comes to dvd and i get to own it.

She is not the same person but she kinda is as the Gamora who died is just this Gamora but with character development and some more time spent with The Guardians of the Galaxy. Its kind of weird, she isn't a completely different person

@@Byronic19134 you can fall for the same person but it would be a total new situation.
@@jamiesp3901 well maybe his gamora still exists in the soul stone
Loved the scene towards the end of the movie. Rocket decides to end it and not run anymore and walks back into the higher evolutionary ship. Gamora looked at the group like NO we are leaving. Without a word spoken the team followed rocket. Gamora was impressed and disgusted at same time. It was an unspoken bond they were going to fight for each other.
It was a quick scene but had a lot of impact.
Not that quick... about two minutes of slow motion
For real, she was like “they’re dumb and gonna die but I respect the fight.”
Quick scene? That was the turning point of the third act and started the final march toward destiny for this team.
Yea they definitely wouldn't do that for Thor
Followed by one of the best MCU fight scenes. Damn that scene had some great camera work and choreography.
james gunn sure does know how characters work
peter going from "you are her, you just don't remember" to "you aren't her, but you could be" to "WHO EVEN ARE YOU?! WHY DID YOU SHOOT THAT PERSON?!" to "ok you are a different person i get it. have fun" was character development and a half
It made him look like an idiot tho. It's obvious to everyone that she isn't the same person, that she is entirely different from the girl they all knew. His continued insistence for even a little bit only served to degrade his character and make him look like a fool. Everything still could have been accomplished had he just used the word "her" instead of "you" and it would have maintained starlords credibility. As it stands, he is just a goofy comic relief character.
And emotional manipulation in this movie was off the charts. It was insultingly bad. Plus Kang 2.0 was just as one dimensional and hard to watch as most of the villains coming out today.
Aside from all that I would still say it was an okay movie if not for one scene ..one damn stupid pinnacle of manipulation scene. A scene so bad it's up there with Indy getting in a refrigerator to survive an atomic bomb, or Leonard Nimoy butchering his iconic wrath of Khan line for transformers. The baby Raccoons scene ... Ruined the movie.
With a few easy direction changes this movie could have been amazing, as it stands, it was just disappointing.

Gotta say this is my favorite Marvel franchise. The cast chemistry, the originality, the music. The characters are all likable, and you feel somewhat connected to them. Glad they came full circle with the story.
The deaths in this movie somehow hit harder than any deaths in the MCU so far... I was literally shedding tears for animated characters I was just introduced to. Rocket's story is sadder than The Notebook.
Especially during the rocket backstory segments. And I didn't feel anything during infinity war.
It was more deeper to me too as opposed to Endgame’s emotional bruises. This film surprised me and it was everything that Quantumania should’ve been.
The absolute gut punch when I realized none of Rocket’s friends were making it out alive was unreal
@@pigglesgoomshby7249 Yeah, I was in denial leading up to the scene... I knew they were going to die... But my head was like "maybe they are still being held captive and the Guardians will rescue them and reunite them with Rocket!"
Agreed
I really loved how when Rocket and the Guardians shifted into a new generation, it was symbolized by his choice of music. No longer playing hits of the 80s or 90s but finally entering the early 2000s playlist
I loved it! A great way to end Gunns' trilogy. I felt the main characters all had a good arc. I liked Will Poulter as Adam Warlock. It's probably the best film since No Way Home.
I was not ready for this film.... fuck it was proper dark at points... (I'll never get over what they did to the rabbit) ....it was 2.5 hrs long and that flew by. I thought this was such a good movie... apart from a couple of thing, this was the best thing marvel has brought out since endgame
I agree completely. Honestly i was starting to forget marvel could make good movies
@@MrSolobear333 i was not ready for the back story, i was on the verge of tears so many times
No way home was mid, this movie was good.
Adam Warlock is underused but the ending implies that we will be seeing more of him and this movie was a finale for the Guardians as a team of which Adam isn't. Plus he still is very important to the movie the whole movie happens because of what he does at the start.
Thats good that he was underused. The movie is called Guardians of the galaxy, not Adam Warlock.
i think adam warlock is OVER USED in this movie. gunn even said he was forced to shoehorn him into the story at the last minute, giving him things to do that were probably meant for other characters originally (hurting rocket, saving peter) or not supposed to happen at all (showing the henchman they mean business - moments later nathan fillion references him like he wasnt just murdered in front of him)
it would have been better if adam was teased, like he almost destroys the crew but fails so high evolutionary takes him in for 'upgrading' (tearing him apart to give his best attributes to a superior vessel, maybe giving him a soul stone somehow) and we are teased that the being is getting so powerful it can xyz but due to its naivety doesnt know it will be scrapped for parts or whatever, rocket realizes what is happening to adam as a parallel and saves him from the exploding space ship, prompting him to want to join those who accept him as he is, the GoG
adam gets 20 min of screen time, more than the high evolutionary. cut adam down to about 5 minutes and it makes the movie almost a perfect 2 hours, and flows a lot more naturally.. but i get it.. business.. money.
"Adam Warlock is underused"
I think that's the whole purpose, he's gonna have a damn character development in upcoming appearance
This channel has increasingly become a cesspool of complaints. At the end of the day these are kids movies about comic books and we’ve got grown adults crying that they’re not cinematic masterpieces
@@Epravfan Would a kid movie shows a disfigured flesh of a face? i don't think so
@@Epravfan its people stating their opinion on the movie.
At least it's not political
This seemed obvious to me. Especially when Warlock becomes a Guardian at the end.
How do people not realize that hes coming back, and he will become smarter.
Do people not want a character arc?
@@Epravfan These are absolutely not kid movies and if Gunn was allowed he would of made this rated R.
The movie felt like a rollercoaster of emotions! I was in tears and then I would burst out laughing. Then I was infuriated and then sad again, or happy! It was wild and fun and it meant something to this cast and to the director. I think Marvel has noticed that people will watch ANYTHING they put out there and that's what's made the movie quality go down. We need more James Guns and GOTG crews working at Marvel.
Watching nebula cry with joy that rocket survived tore my heart right out of my chest. Best movie since endgame.
Audible gasp for sure
it's a perfect ending to this trilogy, loved all of it.
Just glad the CGI is excellent and also the one-take action fight was dope.
Just wish there was more action
It gives Gamora’s death in IW even more weight and darkness for sure. It may be phase 4, but G3 is really the end of Phase 3, which was dark.
GOTG is phase 5
I was gonna say, phase 5
Was surprised at how much I liked it. The baby Rocket scenes with his friends were hard to watch, but I get why they were the way they were, and the payoff we received at the end was worth it. Liked Gamora's arc, liked Rocket's arc, really not many gripes.
arguably the best trilogy in the MCU. Made characters that only hardcore fans knew to a household name. Great send off. I’m so glad to even be alive when these movies were made. What a time to be alive.
When Florence + The Machine hit at the end, I started crying. How perfect was that?
Yes I agree was crying in that moment too but the cry of joy in this scene.
Happiness... 🎶
@Sean Pace Totally! Get you a partner that makes you feel like Nebula does when she puts he arms in the air and looks to the sky.
I loved it, wont put any spoilers but it did a great job. Drax impressed me the most!
And Cosmo is a good dog!
Seems intuitive.
Like Whitney, I also really liked the way Gamora's story ended; both of them. Gamora dying in Infinity War was absolutely tragic, and unfortunately, tragedy seems to follow Peter Quill. His mom died, got kidnapped on the same day it happened, followed up with a rough, borderline abusive upbringing, etc.
Until he met Gamora, he had no good and/or real relationships, but then he met Gamora and the rest. At any time any one of them could've left the group, if they didn't really want in their heart of hearts ppl of their own to love and be loved by in return. Instead, each one chose to stick around and build on the relationships.
The new Gamora's ending was touching because to me, it showed that no matter who Gamora is, she still wants that same thing, a family. This Gamora just happened to find it with the Ravagers instead of our beloved crew. Also, this Gamora never had a falling out with her sister, so it makes sense that they'd still be in contact, considering also Nebula's growth as an individual.
The situation with Gamora isn’t a twin sister situation like some are mistakenly comparing. She IS Gamora just from a slightly earlier point in timeline which means she is very much fundamentally the same character that left Thanos, joined the Guardians, and fell in love with Peter. Given enough time Peter absolutely could successfully woo her again. I mean that’s kinda his superpower. And you could see her character arc where in the beginning she was like Gamora in Guardians 1 with a lot of contempt for Peter as a clown but by the end you could tell she understood how a version of her could have fallen in love with him and the movie hints it could happen again. I’m glad he doesn’t get her back in this movie because it would have rung false and been too quick and easy but you’re crazy if you think he’s isn’t getting her back later. She said “I don’t think so” at the beginning to “we must have been fun together” at the end. I think that’s all the subtext you need. He let her go at the end but she’ll eventually come back to him. Book it.
@ryansibley7656 it would not have been the same travel but the destination would be the same for these 2. Some couples are written in the stars to sound sappy and I think that's where they were. I thought for sure while she was looking through Peter's backpack she'd find something that was theirs together and get her thinking. Peter definitely earned her respect and you could see the change happening throughout the movie. IF Zoe comes back and Pratt comes back I bet they'll be matched again. Just my opinion.
The movie does not outright set anything up, but it does leave some interesting characters ready to be used, hopefully, in a great way. I would love to see a future move where Adam Warlock is seen possibly becoming evil, and Phyla has so much potential. Out of all the recently introduced kid heroes, she's the one with the most interesting comic book stories and I hope they do something great with her.
I predicted Phyla would be the villain/anti-hero of The Marvels -- and then they drop baby Phylla into a Guardians movie months early... 😂😂😂
In a way, I'm relieved that runtime of this movie wasn't wasted for set-up for future Marvel projects. I think that Marvel has become too obsessed with set-up lately to the point that they don't let anything have its own identity.
Shut up
So… Star-lord won’t return?
Dude that Rocket cry hit the soul. I want to know what Bradley was channeling for that one cry
Oh yes. That was so upsetting. A lifetime's worth of grief, rage, despair.
Bradley didn't voice young rocket Noah Raskin did
Noah RASKIN VOICED YOUNG ROCKET
@@christopheromarrah1785 it was Bradley’s voice when rocket was basically a teenager
I love how James Gunn took a bunch of misfits and turned them into a family with emotional trauma connecting them all together and how they rise and overcome said trauma to be a better person for their family and the world at large absolutely brilliant trilogy wish we get more like this from other studios
The only marvel movie to make me cry, honestly incredible
Yep, same here
So the movie where nobody dies is sad than the movie where Gamora got thrown off a cliff to her death by her father? This is nonsense because Guardians has at least a happy ending.
@@Byronic19134 OMDS people did die, all of rockets friends
So good.
this and yondus death are the only ones for me
Got back from the cinema about an hour ago. I absolutely loved it. One of the best blockbusters I've seen in years. Dark as all hell. Looked incredible. Sounded incredible. Zero connection to the wider MCU. Flat out the best action Sci-Fi film I've seen in years.
Who is paying you to say that? This movie was boring and corny af.
@@NewYorkFloridaMan ur bugging
@@NewYorkFloridaMan No Gods. No Masters. My opinions are none but my own. Doubt you've even seen the film. If you have, please articulate why you think it was boring. It was the exact opposite of corny and boring.
Same dude it was wild
@@NewYorkFloridaMan It's not the movie that's boring and corny af, you're describing your life.
Was it mentioned that it seemed like Rocket's love for music was being set up in volume 2? In the beginning he blames Peter for needing to set up music while they get the batteries and fight. Then again when he and Yondu were escaping, he asked if there was any of Peter's music on the ship.
I really wanted Gamora to save Peter in the end instead of the one who did. It would have been a perfect reference to the scene in which Peter saves Gamora on Nowhere!
Obvious it was gonna be adam very cliche movie trope
I'm kind of glad it was Adam, he gets redemption
Also how was she gone save him? Adam could breathe in space
It’s almost like most of you missed the whole point of Adam. He was pulled early from his cocoon he’s basically like wtf am I doing here. He’s a baby and I’m excited for his future cause he’s going to be a big player and a badass. Thank you for saving Peter it redeemed for almost killing our buddy rocket
I also like to think of the GOTG trilogy as Rocket's origin story, how he becomes Captain Rocket of the Guardians. Since it's been his story all along it would make sense that, continuing on, if they make any more GoTG movies it'll follow Rocket with his new and evolving crew. Perhaps even going into what Rocket does when he doesn't want to be in charge of the Guardians anymore. Old members can come back from time to time, so there's still a lot to play with in this neck of the Marvel woods.
It was explicitly stated that “Adam” was woken early - as the High Evolutionary had tasked the Sovereign to retrieve Rockets brain. So I took that as why he was confused/underpowered.
I mean…you don’t want another Superman/Captain Marvel, as he would have snatched Rocket at the start and would never have been able to be stabbed by Nebula. Movie over.
Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy will always have a special place in my heart, and I couldn’t have asked for a better ending
I kinda wanted Adam Warlock to develop just a little bit, but I like that he seemingly joined the Guardians at the end - or did he? Hopefully we get the answer in a later movie
He did join the Guardians, but whether or not he will remain a hero is unknown. He could flip flop a little.
He’s had a long history in the comics as a hero so I don’t think they will change that.
He’s basically space Jesus in the comics
@@stormichow5325he’ll prob be like i’m between so bad things for a good reason like venom
Did you not stay for the mid and ending credits? It shows what Adam chose to do next.
@@mikepowers9486 Of course I watched the mid- and post credit scenes. They didn't give much information, though. Adam Warlock is just there. Hopefully he isn't forgotten in upcoming movies.
Love the movie although I interpreted the Groot ( I love you guys ) at end as James gun finally allowing us to understand griots language rather than him switching English or common tongue lol
I love this interpretation so much
Definitely the best MCU film since Endgame. I think Adam was used right. He didn't overshadow the rest of the movie and he was introduced but it was good that he wasn't introduced as seasoned or already knowing how to use his powers at full potential. It leaves room for growth, character development and his story is open to go in any way. As for the new Guardian lineup, it reminds me of the Avenger lineup after Age of Ultron. Some went away there was some new additions so hopefully we get to see more Guardian movies.
Totally agree about the new Gamora being welcomed in such a beautiful way by her new ravager family. They seem like a happy and well adjusted bunch.... Of Ravagers lol!
There's a lot of great, beautiful emotional scenes in this movie. There's quite a few that make the world of GOTG come full circle, and will become a classic. One majorly beautiful scene was when Peter brought rocket back. Knowing everything that Rocket has gone through, and his first words were "Where's Nebula?" With everything that he was feeling, and he cleverly masked the emotion behind his question; they have a beautiful friendship that started to develop in endgame.
Yondu's cameo made me cry
This is literally the best MCU movie in a while. I was totally engaged with the story and characters. Rocket instantly becoming my favourite guardian followed by Nebula.
Bradley Cooper deserves a lot of credit for his portrayal of Rocket.
Such an amazing movie! Didn’t second guess what so ever ! Amazing work all around. If your second guessing to watch this movie don’t I promise you, you won’t regret it !
I had legit tears in my eyes at several moments in this movie. Gunn never disappoints. And never forget…
I’m Bill Pardy
Heavy comment: after my wife's brother died I lost her to grief. I spent years like Star-lord wishing her back, watching her with other guys but thinking of our 3 kids and just wanting to put the family back.
Now, far removed, I'm getting married this week to a new beautiful woman who is my best friend and lover and will be an amazing step-mom. This movie was a nice touch to me.
"I bet we were fun..." That line hit hard. We were fun, but it's time for something new, time to move on.
Loved it. Already saw it twice in theaters and I can’t remember the last time I did that with the MCU. Hell I can’t remember the last time I saw one of these on opening night. Multiverse of Madness maybe? Speaking of which like Raimi, Gunn just kind of gets it. The pulpy…ness. The sincerity and cheese mixed with really hard almost unsettling moments. There is a singular voice to these Guardians movies where Gunn is wrestling with some tough and personal stuff and he’s only grown as a filmmaker. While counter earth has some of that muddy grey look to it, this is generally well lit and lively in not only its framing, but also camera movement. This will be one of Marvel’s last highs for a while. Loved it and I will miss this gang, but I kind hope we never see them in this current timeline. Perfect ending.
Coming out of this movie. I shared that same sense of opening night, midnight release, hyped to tell everyone to go see it and see it again type of feeling. Something that I personally haven't had since No Way Home. Honestly, as much as I love to see them turn themselves around and produce some great stuff leading into king dynasty and secret wars, I think many people could see guardians 3 being a final epilogue in the MCU and closing out the universe altogether. I personally don't feel like anything could top the level of action and adventure as well as deep and meaningful storytelling, character development, and finality that we've had between end game and guardians 3
The idea with Warlock is that he was taken out of his cocoon early - It is even said specifically in the movie this is the case.
He's very much comparable to Vison; being a born-yesterday type.
I don't know how well Marvel is going to go with Gunn away on the competitors team, but we shall see.
Bro this was literally the best movie ever. It was an emotional roller coaster the whole time. I think I cried about 4 times.
Guardians of the galaxy is my favorite MCU movie because the settings is very unique, and fun I'm definitely going to miss this old formation of the guardians, but at least it ended on a high note ,and I will forever cherish those movie it been a great journey bravo James Gunn excited to see what he has in store for DC.
I cried so much during this movie.
I watched this with people that never read comics; And they loved Adam Warlock and thought that he was adorable, specially at the end where he awkwardly joins the group hug.
One of the more impactful things to me is that Peter and Gamora don't get back together and Peter accepting that. Sometimes you breakup and you stay broken up. To me, that's James Gunn being more realistic and not completely pandering to the audience as 2014 Gamore isn't the same person and really doesn't owe Peter anything.
I haven't watched the movie yet, but i dont mind adam warlock is like a giant baby. he was born recently so i would like to see him go from geing a dummy to "space jesus", I think it could make for good character ark.
Edit: if they actually do anything with him again, if they do it would be amazing.
i thought it was great. Literally just saw it.
There were moments where i thought they would all die at points. And it was a nice ending where they all met their destiny- drax a father, nebula making a home for experimented kids like her, that she never had.
Usually no one stays for post credit scenes, but today everyone stayed for both.
Also, first
I told a friend...man they got their @** kicked a LOT in this movie.
God I hate rewarding these sorts of rage bait thumbnails with a click, but I love your videos.
I loved so many things about this movie! I remember being super excited when it was announced that Will Poulter would be Adam Warlock; and inn my humble opinion, he did not disappoint. I like that this is his origin story, I don't want to be introduced to another overpowered character that's already perfect in every way. It's going to be a lot more fun watching Adam grow into the character we all know him to be. Will naturally has that dry British wit and it works perfectly for him here, coming out as genuine and ignorant instead of dry sarcasm.
What did you think of the movie?
Great.
Interesting to say the least.
Loved it! Great end to the Trilogy IMO and like you, the few gripes I have upon my initial watch will probably fade with each rewatch. Great Content as always, You and Doug are the best!
🤓📽️🍿🎬🐶
Perfect at the same time Emotional. 😢🥺
I thought it ripped 10/10
Great discussion. I had to jump in as someone who is the huge Adam Warlock fan. I started reading his stories with the Jim Starlin original run when I was a little kid. He was immediately my favorite Marvel character, and since then I have collected every appearance up through when Starlin left Marvel and other writers took over the character (and did not understand him). I used to draw Warlock in my school notebooks. So if anyone could be critical of the way he was used in GotG 3, it would be me. I thought it was just fine! Look, as Ryan alluded to, for a long time Warlock in the comics was this misguided man-child. He broke out of his cocoon and spent several years doing naive things, like kidnapping Thor's girlfriend because Adam wanted a mate. So actually, I will claim that this take on the character is actually pretty comic accurate. And I am actually glad the angsty Starlin Warlock cosmic story was not touched, because that needs its own movie(s). And we had better get the psycho clowns scenes that were a parody of Marvel execs! Warlock did not become this character until Starlin created a group of characters based on a psychology class he took wherein each character represented different mental illnesses or states. In one of those old comic interview magazines if I recall Starlin said Warlock was paranoid schizophrenia. I actually dread and look forward to a Warlock-centric movie because the Starlin cosmic saga (Captain Marvel, Warlock, Silver Surfer, Thanos Quest, Infinity Gauntlet/War/Crusade) was easily the best cosmic story every written for Marvel. One note about Gamora - she was Warlock's girlfriend for decades in the comics. So I was actually glad this Gamora did not hook up with Peter, because hopefully she and Warlock can get together. And remember, Warlock can incubate in another cacoon and re-emerge as a completely changed character. We have had naive Warlock, Paranoid Schizophrenic Warlock, Post Soul-World Warlock, the Infinity Watch Warlock, he was even the Living Tribunal for awhile.
There is a salient reason why the FX in this movie were superior - James Gunn writes scripts. Having a complete script means that the FX team have sufficient time to create them, as opposed to making up / changing crucial shtuff somewhat on the fly which means that team then needs to scrabble around to accommodate.
Adam warlock basically a comic relief villian in this movie. Hopefully in future as he matures he's more like he is in the comics
And origin, they definitely made it clear that Adam Warlock is mentally not matured fully, so there’s definitely room for development.
He definitely will. With all the characters in this movie they were just trying to set him up.
@screencrush a couple of things I think went overlooked: the flashback when the high evolutionary frantically interrupted his "treatments" to find P13. The elaboration of the treatments seem to have passed us by. The second one is the guardians scene in the hallway outside the spaceport on the high evolutionary's ship. Gamora and Drax used their iconic weapons (awesome add). Love the channel!
I feel the audience really care about the Guardians more so then other MCU heroes for the following reasons. I think you have really horrible pasts from each of the Guardians.. and you see and feel the loss of each member and makes you understand why they care so much about the ones in their lives now and do anything not to lose them like they some have ( lost a Mom / had family murdered / tortured by a tyrant / experimented on etc ). That in turn it really gets the audience to buy in why each member of the Guardians will go to the end of the earth for their friends. When you saw Starlord not blink that he was going to save his friend Rocket.. it was totally believable for him. When Rocket wanted go back after the high Evolutionary .. his friends didn't blink.. they would go to the end for Rocket their friend. No other MCU franchise do you get that one hero really cares about any one person the way the Guardians do for each other.
Bradley Copper must be nominated with this GOTG film!!!
I think its like, we get so comfortable with our family, and annoyed, we can be extra rude or aggressive with them, because we know we will always come back to gether and love each other... I really related to the agitation they are all experiencing with one another and ways to move past it... I am experiencing this with my fam right now
One of the most stressful watch in a theater I've ever had . Perfect storybook end for this rag tag galactic team!
Yes! Seriously...there were moments I was so stressed, I was covering my face and freaking out. I actually don't think I've ever felt that in a theater.
Did Anyone else notice Gamora hair? It's just another way the director showed she was a different person. The Gamora we knew had fluffier hair, the new Gamora has almost wet hair. it felt flatter, and more greasy then our Gamora.
Absolutely amazing movie. All I can say without spoiling is that it has left me waiting excitedly as to what Gunn does with DC!!!
What changed (in the Universe and for the characters) between the start and the end - not much - so no, not good. The only thing of significance was that Adam is no longer a puppet; just a shame he was brought out of gestation early to separate him from his OP comic book potential.
This was about the healthy revert from trauma. It’s all in there. Love it
Totally agree. Captain America WAS my favorite line until Guardians 3. Now this is my favorite. I will say that Captain is still my favorite CHARACTER, but I love each Guardian equally. Good analysis as always Ryan.
I absolutely loved it, it had me in tears from sadness and laughing..brilliant.
Whitney made such a great point about rocket and Adam. They’re characters with where they’re at now will make such a great dynamic for the future. Rocket being an established genius, (maybe smarter than shuri, banner, and Tony) coupled with the naivety of Adam will be great for the future of the mcu and Adam having a mentor.
Idc what anyone says, Wakanda forever also had a lot of heart and soul
Same everyone just act like they forgot about it smh tht movie had only 2 joke scenes the rest was serious…mcu fans change up like the weather
@@HolyFieldM5 exactly, they forgot how much they cried
That true it was emotional too. I think the difference is you knew about the emotions in BP 2 , in GOTG3 it was unpredictable emotions. If that makes sense.
@@deshunsmith7828 yeah that makes sense, yet to watch gogt 3 though
FINALLY A SC/NR CROSSOVER LETS GOOOOOO I NEED MORE
This movie should've started Phase 5 instead of Ant-Man 3.
For real! I keep a running list of my preferred watch order, and I actually moved this before Quantumania for the eventually master binge.
This should’ve started phase 4 with a Galactus end credit scene. And the chaos from the blip being the prime focus of phase 4. Introduce FF. X Men. They needed to go big after the Avengers/Thanos arc ended to keep momentum going. Instead they went with low quality quantity with stuff that isn’t even connected-Eternals, for example, has basically been ignored. Recast Black Panther not kill him off.
Phase 4 felt like the CW MCU.
I expected Adam to show up towards the end of the movie and kick the snot out of someone. But the scene explaining that he did finish growing before they pulled him out of the thing he was growing in was good.
Didn't finish growing. Had a typo.
One thing that I thought was weird was the absence of Peter's space helmet and rocket boots that he had in all the other movies. Maybe he got rid of them and i just dont remember it but it just seemed weird that he didnt have them solely because of the near death experience he had at the end.
rocket had his boots, they literally save his life at the end against the high evolutionary.
@Terry Mckeown I had assumed those were completely separate from Peter's lol seeing as him and rocket probably don't have the same shoe size 😉
CGI is expensive, especially for someone with such a high price tag like Chris
@Kuhan Block I'm sure they can afford the 30s of cgi his mask would've had, he never wore it much to begin with but the fact that it was missing completely just seemed weird
@@Cosm1c_Donut Finally somebody else pointed this out, this annoyed me during the movie because I like his mask, but I realized at the end they did it just so they could have the near death scene. Unless I missed a part in the beginning where he left it since he was hungover when they left for Rocket. But that should have been addressed and is a plot hole for the moment.
The 1st GotG when Rocket reached up to help with the Power Gem, he won me over as a hero!
Did it work? One of the best super hero movies of all time,
Spider man 2, guardians 3 and Logan!
Couldn’t agree less. Adam warlock and Gamora we’re not needed in the movie at all. If those two were removed, the movie would’ve still ended up the exact same. And some of the needle drops were just weird and off, provided I haven’t seen it since it’s release.
It's nice to see Groot grow up again.
Gunn was given a heads up about Gamora. He was asked if he could work with it. They were sending him all kinds of unfinished scripts of every movie for notes.
I like what they did with warlock he’s like the new vision which is kind of how he was in the comics.
Vision is way more composed. Probably due to high intellect
Adam warlock's powers were severely reduced.
@@theoutdoorguy8740 he basically has captain marvel move set
Both Guardians 1 & 3 make the top of the list for me amongst their MCU counterparts. For me personally, I am a Star Lord fan so the first Guardians holds that top spot. I think Rocket fans will rank this one higher. But I will say after watching Peter lose so much in 1, 2, IW and End Game; seeing everyone just embrace him after his near death experience hit me right in the feels.
Is this the best film in the MCU?
Not the best MCU film, but it was the best Phase 5 project so far.
Nope it was not.
@@SpammytheHedgehog facts
One of my top 5
Not even, I found it to be subversively pushing religion when Rocket was near death and there is an afterlife, as well as the villain being referred to as the Evolutionary which says to me that someone has an issue with Darwin's theory of evolution. I also didn't like the way he says "you just hate the way things are." Some people have good reason to hate the way things are if their environment is unpleasant and limits their choices, the real problem was the Evolutionary didn't accept the creatures the way they are, and he seems to have had a God complex as well. I don't find that subtle. This isn't that I don't like things about the movie. I think the yelling is a strength. When people have differences and are being emotional, they often escalate their voices. It was fun action movie, but I still found the previous two Guardian movies more appealing. I also liked the heated arguments that the characters had with each other. It seemed more realistic to me that they can be so angry with each other but still retain that close personal bond.
Wouldn't it be nice though, to say no matter what universe they were in Peter and Gamora would always fall in love and end up together.
One of the best Marvel films in recent years
I had to jump ship when gal said “Ravenger”
Loved the film. Never thought a cgi raccoon would make me cry lol.
Adam Warlock was portrayed this was because it was said in the movie he was basically a child. Few movies from now he might be closer to his comic book persona.
Everyone is dissing marvel right now, they forget the masterpiece that no way home was dude
I think the Guardians of the Galaxy is my favorite trilogy and favorite superhero group. I would love to see more films with these characters but I am happy with how this third film brings everything full circle for these characters. Despite the little plots in other marvel films that had forced some of the decisions for this movie’s plots, the characters were still amazing. By far the biggest roller coaster ride
Adam Warlock was handled just fine. He's a super powered (space) baby at this point in time who literally flies head first into every situation.
I agree with Ryan on the yelling thing. It was something I noticed when watching the film and it was definitely a negative aspect for me. It felt forced a lot of the time, especially with Mantis…on a side note, the whole ignoring Doug when he asked for a cut of the t-shirt proceeds was classic. 😂
I noticed it started or becoming hard in vol2. My kid mentioned why are they always fighting and yelling at each other. This one he eventually tuned them out.
Adam was handled perfectly, and they didn't kill him off! He is kind of finding his way at the end, which reminded me of Scarlet Witch at the end of Avengers Ultron. Everyone gets an arc, and his can be growing into his comic self. We will see him beng more important in the future, no doubt.
I really appreciated Drax’s use of language. He uses words that others may deem as mean with no ill will. Only what he sees as true. His teammates don’t hate him for it. They accept him for who he is & don’t demean for it. I see what James Gunn did there. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Loved Quill’s use of Firefly speak right after Mal (Nathan) appeared on screen. Quill did a perfect imitation of Mal!
I completely missed this! Do you remember what he said?
@@rabbitrabbit-13 I don't remember, however, I plan to go see it again, and I'll try to remember to catch it.
I'd watch a rocket TV show. I wanna see how he and Groot met up and what they got up to before the guardians.
They feel like a real team. Like a family. The Avengers never felt like that
In the meantime is my favorite song of all time and when they dropped no sleep to Brooklyn with them all going into battle badass. That legit put a smile on my face
Just finished watching it like literally just walked out of the cinema 😂
This movie was fantastic. Just the right bkend of humor, emotion and the quirkiness i needed to have with my screen friends coming back together again. It felt familiar. Loved it. Outside of Spiderman and Dr. Strange, this is the best offing from phase 4. It will age even better when it comes to dvd and i get to own it.
