    The Gamora B-plot is actually a mirror of the High Evolutionary's motivations. Quill desperately wants this Gamora to be like the dead one that he tries multiple times to woo her. He eventually gets over it and lets her go. An opposite of the High Evo who forces animals and people to be what he wants them to be.

      I was "iffy" about Gamora until the last scene where she rejoined the Revengers. It showed that she had found a family, just not with the Guardians. I think this was James doing the best he could with Gamora's death. He didn't retcon it and act like nothing happened, and he didn't just redo the Peter and Gamora falling for each other arc for the third time. Gamora from the previous two movies stayed dead, which gives Infiniti War weight.

Lately it’s seemed like every villain has had to have some tragic backstory or something and it’s just so refreshing to have a villain who’s just an absolute monster. He’s pure evil while still having a lot of character too unlike other similarly evil villains Marvel has tried like Malekith and Ronan.

      Even he said the line of "THERE IS NO GOD!", I know this character is pure evil and he's not redeemable in the end. Even he mocked Rocket's crying after he killed Rocket's weasel crush. He's what Kang supposed to be in Ant-Man 3 and the dude could replace Jonathan Majors after his arrestment. Why not? Marvel likes to cast the same actor on different movie like how Gemma Chan was in Captain Marvel and she becomes Sersi in Eternals for saving their casting budgets. Even James Gunn brings his brother, Sean, his co-stars from DCEU including the guy who play High Evolutionary who is in Peacemaker, the red alien girl that Quill, Gamora and Nebula took hostage on her who played Redcatcher 2 from The Suicide Squad even his wife, Jennifer Holland who played the love interest of Peacemaker is in the movie. Even Sylvester Stallone who's also playing King Shark in The Suicide Squad is in 2 Guardians movies even for a short screen time.

      Huh. Weird to learn if true. It's somewhat funny to think that her dying in _Guardians of Galaxy 2_ instead means that Thanos just...can't win in _Infinity War_ or at least can't get all six stones. After all, only she knew where the Soul Stone was since I don't think she ever told Nebula the specifics, and I can't see Thanos deluding himself into thinking he "loves" anyone else to acquire it, though I guess he could just force other people to do so. Shrug.

    Nebula's characterization is a massive highlight for me, same with Rocket but that's quite obvious. To think that she benefitted heavily from Infinity War and Endgame. Remember that they spent 5 whole years just the two of them basically, just feeling sad about losing the other Guardians then going above and beyond to get them back. It really pays off when she stands up for Rocket and Peter when Gamora insults them and generally how she behaves with the rest of the Guardians.
    It's strange that while the Guardians movies are the best, most solid and most detached from the MCU, huge aspects of Vol. 3 are so interconnected to Infinity War and Endgame that they're a bit of a necessary watch, but at least they offer a lot of good character development for a lot of them.

      It's great seeing her develop empathy and comradery while simultaneously seeing Gamora being a vicious, raging maniac in a timeline where she didn't get character development. A total flip where now Nebula is the one trying to keep Gamora from going too far. And we get hints at Gamora regaining (or just plain gaining) that empathy and comradery toward the end.

      Wouldn’t say THE best, but definitely one of the best. The way she goes from a maniacal sociopathic killer in the first film, no regard for others who hamper her final quest, to this.
      Think the moment the crowd finally sees her human side is when she hears Rocket alive and has a moment of sheer satisfaction. Even through this film, it shows her going from being cold to someone who actually cares. And her final line in the film is what got a lot of people. I don’t normally cry but that final shot did. Probably the most cathartic ending in the entire MCU, and honestly a better ending than Endgame too.

    GotG Volume 3 is for me about emotional intelligence. You see that in the bigger things like the difference between Rocket and the High Evolutionary, but also in small scenes like where Quill gives that batwoman that cloth for her wound and then she understands that theyre not evil and wants to help them too. Also a good example is the argument between Nebula, Mantis and Drax, where Nebula asks what use Drax has, cause he is so dumb. Mantis answers with: "He makes us laugh and loves us". Everything is about trying to understand the other person, being nice and people will be nice to you.
    I also love that you actually see that the Guardians love each other. There are like several hugs between all of them. I also think the guardians have the most character growth of all MCU characters. The ending like in Volume 2 also made me cry like a baby.

    2:34 i got the impression that that cut was a joke and found it hilarious. Like how often do you see editing jokes in movies? Really cool!

    2:19 the jokes weren’t just inconsistent, the timing was terrible. 30 seconds after watching an animal get tortured I’m listening to Drax make a poop joke
