When the 1st Guardians movie came out I had little expecations when I went to see it since they were the Marvel characters I knew the least about prior to seeing them on the big screen. I ended up loving the 1st film, the 2nd film, & the 3rd film so much that to me it's the overall best movie trilogy Marvel has made.
Just realized that since the GoTG is about family, with Vin Diesel as Groot, for the next movie, they should have something that's very FAST like hover cars that are FURIOUS too. Something that was missing in this movie from the previous movies is that there's no post credit 70s/80s music video. Also in the We're the Millers movie, Adam Warlock's character got his nuts bitten by a giant spider, there was a joke if he'd get super powers, guess it turned him into a golden boy. As HISHE pointed out, why Peter didn't activate his helmet on. He still needs to be rescued because he's drifting to an exploding ship so Adam still needs to save him. Also realized, if Counter Earth was blown up, the High Evolutionary's ship was leaving to go to another planet for Batch91. So that means there's Counter Earth II that's out there that Batch91 can move for the new home world as their new colony.
Gunn confirmed that Groot still says “I am Groot” at the end but us as fans have been around the guardians we can understand him as we are part of the Guardians now
Which now makes me question "We are Groot" in the first movie. Did he actually say "we"? Or did he say "I" but we (and the Guardians) heard "we" because we were all at the beginning of our journey to understanding him?
I just watched the movie a few hours ago, then came here for their reaction. When Kasey said "That's what they hear!" after he said that line, this is literally what I realized, lol. So of course Gunn would say that was intentional. Nice touch, and a great send-off. But now I wonder, if they do continue to make a "New Guardians" movie/trilogy, which I'm assuming they will, will we go back to just hearing "I am Groot"?
I watched it high af this saturday (guilty) and those poor creatures, their relationship and death got me cryin like a baby..Still can't get over it, honestly..
@@evgenymc3296 saw this in theaters high AF. Pregame before going in, vaped out in the bathroom before going in and sat in the back row, for what should be obvious reasons lol. Those 4 (Floor especially with her freak out to Layla getting hit) had me sobbing like I just learned a personal friend had died. Absolutely broke my high ass
There's also the fact that while most Marvel villains tend to have some sympathetic qualities, this guy gets absolutely none. He's just an evil megalomaniacal bastard. "THERE IS NO GOD!!! THAT'S WHY I STEPPED IN!!!"
@@mst3KGfsometimes a villain just needs to invoke the "yes know what, fuck this guy in particular" response. And High Evolutionary does that brilliantly. You want this MF'r dead in a visceral way. That's when 1 note can really work. If only Marvel had discovered that before Malaketh. Because why were we supposed to want him to lose again? Other than Thor's enemy = bad guy. This guy? It's simple, you hurt my friend. I watched my friend die because you hurt him. I want you to feel all the pain. (Sorry I got wordy. Tl:Dr I agree)
The first GOTG was my mom’s favorite comic book movie ever, sadly she passed away from cancer complications in 2015 at just 65 years old. What hooked her to the movie at first was the soundtrack of many of the songs she grew up on, but then she loved it so much that she became a fan of the MCU. It’s why this franchise has a very special place in my heart. So when Dog Days Are Over (ANOTHER favorite of mine and my mom’s) was playing and the Guardians were celebrating/moving on with their lives, I was a wreck. Not out of pain of loss, but of remembering the good times I had with my mom. As for the movie itself, it’s one of my top 10 favorite comic book movies ever, as well as an all time favorite.
I know you guys were rooting for rocket in that one scene while he was tearing the evolutionary's face off, but what's really heartbreaking is while that's happening, floor is begging rocket to run while they still can "rocket, reefs, floor go now!" she's heartbroken but she's trying to tell rocket not to waste their time, and get away. but rocket is too angry.
Im sure he thought about that for years. If he had just run instead of hurting the High Evolutionary out of anger maybe he couldve at least saved Floor and Teefs.
@@ComicCrossing he definitely did. remember in the first movie where drax called ronin to knowhere, and almost killed everyone because of his anger and drive for vengeance? and how furious rocket was at him? "Everyone's got dead people! It's no excuse getting everyone else killed along the way!"
@pBateman24 the second one was pretty dark, found out his dad was responsible for putting cancer in his moms brain. Plus lost Yondu after he finally realized he was like his real father the whole time.
@Linator4 naw goblin at least gets a little sympathy as he's two people. They're always a chance for Norman to be the dominant personality and many interations in cartoons and comics have him explore that duality and try to heal himself, not unlike Banner and the Hulk. But H.E. he really is nothing but ego and a God complex
It gets more heartbreaking when you remember that rocket has stolen three body parts that we've seen, an eye for teeths, a leg for floor, and an arm for lylla
I love how the revival scene acts not only as a catharsis for Rocket but all three of them. Rocket learning it's his story. Peter finally getting to save someone he loves after losing his mom, Yondu, and Gamora; and Gamora seeing it's worth it to let other people in emotionally. (Which was an obstacle for her in Vol. 1 if I remember right.)
James Gunn revealed in an interview that when Groot says “I love you guys”, it’s not him learning to speak Terran. It’s actually us, the audience, finally becoming close enough with Groot that we can understand him When I heard that I cried all over again
Star-Lord (Peter Jason Quill) is a fictional character and superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Steve Englehart and Steve Gan, the character first appeared in Marvel Preview #4 (January 1976).
This is definitely one of my favourite MCU movies from phase five so far because of the story as well as seeing Rocket’s tragic backstory. Fun fact, you may recognize Daniela Melchior who plays the new character Ura, because she previously worked with James Gunn on The Suicide Squad movie back in 2021, and the character Lylla is voiced by Linda Cardellini, who’s well known as Hawkeye’s wife Laura from the Hawkeye miniseries.
one of your favorite out of two phase five movies released so far? Wow, the bar couldnt have been set higher xD You could just wrote that you like this movie more than Quantumania and it would mean the same thing xD But tbh - its probably one of the best mcu movies to me. Beats two first guardians movies easily as well. I think its top 3 mcu movies for me, right next to Iron Man and Endgame.
This movie worked for me in every way and honestly might be my favorite of the year. Loved how dark it got and how much they let Gunn get away with. Ironically, some of my favorite moments weren't in your reaction ("There is no god, that's why I stepped in!", the Yondu cameo for Kraglin, and that amazing hallway one shot), but glad you guys enjoyed this movie as much as I did. Also, the Holiday Special is absolutely worth a watch (maybe this Christmas hehe), Werewolf by Night is AWESOME, and Secret Invasion is really really solid so far. Even if you don't watch all of She-Hulk, at least watch episode 8 (trust me). Thanks for waiting to react to this one!
Glad you guys loved it! After watching this I kind of thought Nebula and Quill were starting to develop some feelings there, lol. It's just not the right time to pursue yet. I also completely understood why Quill went back for his Zune since that was a final gift from Yondu. If he was willing to fight all the guards in the prison from the first movie to grab his Mom's player, then it's not hard to believe that he would risk his life to get his Dad's.
I don’t want Star-Lord to have another love interest yet, but I’m like 99% sure Nova is gonna debut & join the Guardians after Thanos decimated Xandar right before Infinity War. Richard Rider & Gamora become a thing in the comics and that could’ve been an interesting temporary fling before Quill & Gamora ended up reunited after some development across the next GOTG trilogy (like symbiote Spider-Man hopefully dating Black Cat before finding MJ again after his college trilogy). I’m glad they didn’t get back together immediately, but we’re likely not gonna see any of that since Zoe Saldana seems to be done playing Gamora. It’s unfortunate because I feel there’s so much more they could’ve explored with that character. I worry the franchise just won’t be as unique without the OG cast & James Gunn.
I mean there’s nothing in the MCU that is so bad you shouldn’t watch it once to stay caught up, even as just background noise for doing something else. Also if you’re legit fatigued of Marvel content, get other fucking hobbies
I discovered only the other day that James Gunn confirmed that Groot is technically "the son" of Groot 🤷 OG Groot died at the end of Guardians 1 branching himself out and when the twig is planted and Groot grows, that is considered to be an entirely new individual with his own personality and body type etc... Hence the drastic difference in styles. I had always thought groot re-grew from the twig, turns out an entirely new Groot was born from it instead. It is totally possible that this is only new news to me tho 😂 but figured I'd share just incase.
Love how they show the alternate Gamora shown so happy with her ravager family driving the point she isn't our Gamora. The villain was great in this movie. You have to now watch the Holiday Special.
Finally! I was waiting for a reaction to this movie once it came on digital and little to no one had reacted to it yet. I’m so glad you guys are one of the first.
And the only one I've seen so far that doesn't think they're funnier than the actual movie and gives it space. People have no idea what makes a good reaction these days. Definitely enjoyed this one!
The more I thought about Peter's grandpa the sadder I got. That man lost his daughter and grandson in the same night. We likely wasn't even able to grieve his daughter's death because surely someone noticed Peter was gone and then had to re-focus to searching for him and then years of not actually knowing what happened to him. So to see his grandpa's reaction to him coming home really hit me.
In addition to the general comments, I also love how they expanded on Mantis’s character. Not only is she able to temporarily manipulate other people’s feelings, not just making them sleep, but her heart as far as her closeness to Quill and also stepping up to Nebula to defend Drax was so meaningful. Plus she was able to befriend the Abilisks, which were created before the High Evolutionary knew how to make timid creatures.
After Phase 4 and some of the projects being dissapointed i was scared for Guardians but i never lost hope for them to be honest. I knew the movie was about to be peak and it was! Can't believe it ended and we won't see them again. The movie hit everything. Action, emotion. Backstory of Rocket was so sad and terrified. And the reference when Groot says ''I love you guys'' is actually confirmed by James Gunn that this happened, because we aleady understands what Groot says. We spend so much years with them, so we became one. We became family and we finally understands what Groot is saying, which is pretty good detail and i love it.
17:55 nebula and rocket were the only ones not dead during the snap, they only had each other for a long time so it makes sense that they have a connection.
Definitely need to watch the Guardians Christmas special, guys. It's so much fun 😁👍 And by the way, in the comics Adam Warlick had the Soul Gem in his forehead. One of the many things the MCU altered from the source material! 🙄
Fun fact for you guys; but James Gunn confirm that we are able to understand Group now since we spent so much time with him. So technically, he did say I am Groot, but now we can understand what he saying.
Gotg vol 3 is just one big masterpiece of emotions I cried 5 times in the cinema Rockets background story is heartbreaking 10/10 James knew what he was doing and breaking our hearts like this
Oh yeah, not seeing the Holiday Special definitely made a few things or 2 in this movie big surprises for you! I think you guys will enjoy Secret Invasion. It is really different than anything the MCU has done before. The closest in tone is probably the Jack Ryan series mixed with some Captain America: Winter Soldier & Marvel's Agents of Shield. I quite enjoyed Ms. Marvel & think it is their "replacement" for Spider-Man. It was charming and playful and fun without being cheesy. I really enjoyed Hawkeye a lot. I think the MCU is getting ready to do a Young Avengers to replace all the MCU characters we now know. I did not think Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania was THAT bad. Yes, it was not among the best MCU movies and the quality did dip and it did not meet expectations, but I still liked it. I think it was overhyped a bit too much, but judging it on its own merit, I still had fun with it. I also liked it more than the previous Ant-Man sequel. MoonKnight is pretty cool too. I see WandaVision, MoonKnight, Werewolf by Night and Secret Invasion as the MCU slowly getting us prepared bit-by-bit for the MCU ready to go much darker in, for example, Deadpool 3 and their version of Blade and DareDevil: Born Again. If the rumors are true, if I were you, I would watch the Ben Affleck Daredevil movie and Jennifer Garner's Elektra movies. I see all the MCU Disney+ shows as well as all of Phase 4 movies to be the MCU experimenting with different styles and tones and just seeing what works and what does not. The MCU was getting hammered after Avengers Endgame by people accusing it of just copying and pasting all their movies and following the same formula. I vehemently disagreed with that sentiment, but nonetheless, I think Disney+ was their way of changing things up and trying new things. I see Falcon & Winter Soldier & Black Widow to be more traditional MCU flavor, but everything else was experimental. Shang-Gi was more martial arts, The Eternals was more drama and Thor: Love & Thunder was more goofy comedy. I think that was all intentional. Even She-Hulk had its good fun moments, even though overall, I will likely only want to really see a few episodes of that season again. But, if there is a season 2, I will watch it. Bottom line is I am still glad I got to see everything. Even if it was not all my cup of tea, so to speak, it still was all an enjoyable experience story-wise that I do not regret having seen.
You guys must watch the 2 specials. They're one of the best MCU projects in Phase 4, both unique that prove that you can tell a great story even with shortened length.
Another thing I loved about this movie was the cameos , the girl who gets held hostage by gamaora is actually ratcatcher from suicide squad, the girl who gets shot by gamora in the thigh is James guns wife who plays harcourt in peacemaker and the head guard who talks to Peter plays the detachable kid in suicide squad And can’t forget murn
Words cannot describe how awesome this movie is the acting is some of the best I ever seen from marvel and the humor doesn’t take away any of the dark moments James Gunn gave the guardians the perfect sendoff
This has to be the only movie where I haven’t hated a villain more just omg the actor killed it & I love Rocket even more. This was really damn good & the music is always great !
I never, ever thought I'd get weepy watching a hug between a raccoon, a human, and a tree. 😌 This movie was SO good, and a perfect send-off for the Guardians. I was thoroughly invested in Rocket's backstory, and that scene with the little raccoons and Rocket required about five tissues. The combination of action, humor and heart is a hallmark of the Guardians movies. Also, although I completely agree with you about recent MCU movies and shows ranging from so-so to bad (with a couple exceptions), I strongly encourage you to watch the Guardians Christmas Special, and Werewolf By Night. The Guardians special is hilarious and has the usual heart, and WBN is absolutely one of the best things Marvel has done, in my humble opinion. Great reactions you two!
The scene where he saves the little Racoons WITH the key that he made to save his friends in a similar situation just broke my heart I died crying in that scene, so good.
Peter Quill/Star Lord definitely was in the comics. I am pretty sure all of the guardian team members were in the comics in some form or another, at one time or another. They were not created for film but adapted for it.
Groot didn't speak English at the end. He said "I am Groot". Every one who spends enough time with him understands him. Like the new Gamora understands him in the end of the movie . When Groot says "I love you guys" in the end, This time it’s us, the audience, who are finally able to understand what he mean.
Cool Fact: the high resolution is actually still alive, the director james gunn said that when they where trying to escape the ship, you can see drax carrying him.
This movie was so emotional and made me feel sad but at the same time happy to feel like I'm part of this group too by "understanding" what Groot says in the end in my opinion this is the best MCU trilogy.
Groots final form at the end is just how he naturally is, Groots species feed off of power to grow, so between Groot spending time with Star Lord (when he was still half celestial), Thor, Adam Warlock etc, he fed off their power and grew to the massive size at the end. That is also how groot appears in the comics too.
Rocket Raccoon is definitely the real star (not to mention the TRUE heart) of Vol. 3, which is quite incredible considering the fact that he doesn't appear as much but you can still feel his presence even if he isn't there.
Actress Mikaela Hoover who voiced Floor did a phenomenal job. I rarely get emotional or attached to characters in a movie, much less animated ones. But she really did break my heart with "Rocket, Teefs, Floor Go Now!" Such a simple line, but she put so much pain and fear into it, that for a moment, I could feel true sympathy for her character. As one commenter pointed out, Floor's rabbit instincts were telling her to run, but she couldn't leave her family, so she ran in a circle begging them to go. I'm surprised that Hoover hasn't done more that I've heard about, she has talent.
Guardians Vol. 3 was the best Marvel movie alongside Shang-Chi and No Way Home since Endgame. James Gunn went bonkers on this film and made the best Marvel trilogy in my opinion. ❤
How dare you prefer a well edited and entertaining reaction!! Can’t you just enjoy 50mins of extremely loud eardrum blowing screech-like sounds and laughs instead???? 😂😂
Y'all should definitely watch Secret Invasion because the acting has been phenomenal and on par with the old Captain America movies to me as far as raw emotion goes.
When the 1st Guardians movie came out I had little expecations when I went to see it since they were the Marvel characters I knew the least about prior to seeing them on the big screen. I ended up loving the 1st film, the 2nd film, & the 3rd film so much that to me it's the overall best movie trilogy Marvel has made.
When the High Evolutionary imitated Rocket's screams of grief after Lylla is killed reminded me of Ted Levine doing the same as Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs .
6:10 Star-Lord wasn't a character written for the movies he was also a Guardians member in the comics. 6:15 his treatment wasn't given to Vision they just both had infinity stones in their head. In this movie it's a bolt since the infinity stones were destroyed but Adam Warlock and Thanos are so tied together especially since they showed the soul realm in Infinity War and that's Warlock's thing so they really should have introduced him in the Infinity Saga
Fun Fact: James Gunn, Chukwuji Iwuji, and a VFX artist confirmed that the High Evolutionary was spared by the Guardians. He’s not dead, just locked in a cell
Theres a theory about why Floor wanted to be named Floor. In the movie youll notice that Floor walks not with her own legs hut with stilts that are held onto her spine. The theory is that this causes extreme amount of pain whenever she is stands on those metal arms. This is why she calls herself Floor, because it relieves pain when she lays on the floor
Fun fact: In the comics, the High Evolutionary was the one responsible for giving Scarlet Witch her powers due to him experimenting on her mutant gene along with supernatural influence. Also he didn't die in the movie. You can see him getting dragged off the ship and in a deleted scene is put in a cage by Rocket. Also i would highly recommend Werewolf By Night especially for Halloween
I'd recommend watching Secret Invasion, actually. Of the recent MCU projects it's one of the good ones. It's in the tone of shows like Homeland or The Expanse but mixed into the MCU with a "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" flavor.
I’ve really been looking so forward to watching reactions to this movie so bad. And I’m honestly happy you guys are the first guardians 3 reaction I’m watching. Love you both! And excited to get to the end of this. Hope y’all love this as much as I did
Warlock led the Infinity Watch. He wore the Soul Stone not the Mind Stone. Visions gem in the comics is a solar crystal that allows him to fire energy blasts from his head. The original members of the Guardians of the Galaxy (1969) was Vance Astro also known as Major Victory. Along with Martinex T'naga, Charlie-27, Yondu Udanta and later with Stakar Ogord a.k.a. Starhawk, Aleta Ogord and Nikki. You get to see Sylvester Stallone as Stakar as well as Martinex and a few others of the original group when they confront Yondu about abducting kids in the first Guardians movie.
Honestly, both those specials were really good. & Ms. Marvel's a really fun character. Secret Invasion's been great so far, a return to their gritty themes seen in the Cap films.
What's interesting about Rocket's back story is not only does it explain why he was so hesitant to have friends.... it also explains why Groot is the one friend he made. His greatest fear is his friends dying while he lives on again.... Groot just comes back, regrows, if he dies... so Rocket's greatest fear can't ever happen with Groot.
Since you guys didn’t watch the Holiday Special, following their time with Thor the Guardians buy Knowhere from the Collector. In the process, Cosmo joins the team. And Mantis being Star-Lord’s half-sister was something that was cut from Volume 2. She confided that in Drax way back then. In the MCU timeline, that was about a decade ago. At least Peter admitted to screwing up in Infinity War. I also thought I recognized the actor portraying Theel. Nico Santos portrayed Mateo Liwanag in Superstore. My favorite funny moment was Mantis’ powers in Orgocorp. @20:14 that’s exactly what Chukwudi Iwuji was going for. He genuinely wants us to hate the High Evolutionary. I certainly do. My favorite fight scenes were Star-Lord and Groot gunslinging and then of course the Guardians fighting together one last time with No Sleep Till Brooklyn playing in the background. (I hope they do something like that in the next season of Cobra Kai, especially if they bring back Salazar.) James Gunn confirmed that the High Evolutionary is still alive. They took him into custody on Knowhere. It’s all in a deleted scene. And finally, Come And Get Your Love by Redbone helps bring the Guardians’ journey full circle.
The Guardians’ Holiday Special and Werewolf By Night are actually great projects! The Holiday Special had me tearing up and WBN is a great homage to old school monster movies

It really hit all the points. The action, emotion and story were all great. The backstory of Rocket was the highlight for me.
And I liked that everything had a reason. Gunn is great at giving a reason for all of their character’s actions and the beats of the story
The fact that the guy who plays the High Evolutionary is the same guy who plays Murn in Peacemaker blows my mind. This man’s range is incredible.
He was fantastic as the high evolutionary
There's also the fact that while most Marvel villains tend to have some sympathetic qualities, this guy gets absolutely none. He's just an evil megalomaniacal bastard.

what was the reaction to the beginning of 1
I know you guys were rooting for rocket in that one scene while he was tearing the evolutionary's face off, but what's really heartbreaking is while that's happening, floor is begging rocket to run while they still can "rocket, reefs, floor go now!" she's heartbroken but she's trying to tell rocket not to waste their time, and get away. but rocket is too angry.
Yep, this scene broke my heart...
listen to her screaming in so much desperation like that is what makes me cry every damn time
Plus she's a rabbit. Her instinct is flight. She fought it in pure panic for her friend. :( :( :(
Im sure he thought about that for years. If he had just run instead of hurting the High Evolutionary out of anger maybe he couldve at least saved Floor and Teefs.

Rocket’s full name drop reached the same level of satisfaction as the first “I am Iron Man”
Darker and more violent than the first two films in the series, as well as being the final farewell to our crazy superheroes
It's the only dark one.
@pBateman24 the second one was pretty dark, found out his dad was responsible for putting cancer in his moms brain. Plus lost Yondu after he finally realized he was like his real father the whole time.

They also dropped the f bomb when Peter told Nebula to open the car door🤣
*The High Evolutionary was hands down the best villain we’ve gotten in a while*
He's also still technically alive
He's the most evil, like PURE EVIL, ever so far in the MCU.
Him & Green Goblin were great at being psychopathic villains with no sympathy.
@Linator4 naw goblin at least gets a little sympathy as he's two people. They're always a chance for Norman to be the dominant personality and many interations in cartoons and comics have him explore that duality and try to heal himself, not unlike Banner and the Hulk. But H.E. he really is nothing but ego and a God complex

This is definitely one of my favourite MCU movies from phase five so far because of the story as well as seeing Rocket’s tragic backstory. Fun fact, you may recognize Daniela Melchior who plays the new character Ura, because she previously worked with James Gunn on The Suicide Squad movie back in 2021, and the character Lylla is voiced by Linda Cardellini, who’s well known as Hawkeye’s wife Laura from the Hawkeye miniseries.
Jennifer Holland (also from TSS and Peacemaker) was the controller Gamora shot in the leg.
@@GengrelI forgot about that, too. And thanks for mentioning it because I didn’t know she was in it when I went to see GOTG 3 in theatres.
@@Gengrel that is why she looked familiar!
@@Gengrelshe’s James Gunn’s wife if I’m not mistaken
one of your favorite out of two phase five movies released so far? Wow, the bar couldnt have been set higher xD You could just wrote that you like this movie more than Quantumania and it would mean the same thing xD But tbh - its probably one of the best mcu movies to me. Beats two first guardians movies easily as well. I think its top 3 mcu movies for me, right next to Iron Man and Endgame.
It is darker, yet still keeps around the same amount of comedy as the first movie. It was a bittersweet happy ending which I enjoyed
This movie worked for me in every way and honestly might be my favorite of the year. Loved how dark it got and how much they let Gunn get away with. Ironically, some of my favorite moments weren't in your reaction ("There is no god, that's why I stepped in!", the Yondu cameo for Kraglin, and that amazing hallway one shot), but glad you guys enjoyed this movie as much as I did. Also, the Holiday Special is absolutely worth a watch (maybe this Christmas hehe), Werewolf by Night is AWESOME, and Secret Invasion is really really solid so far. Even if you don't watch all of She-Hulk, at least watch episode 8 (trust me). Thanks for waiting to react to this one!
Classic Apple comment
Glad you guys loved it! After watching this I kind of thought Nebula and Quill were starting to develop some feelings there, lol. It's just not the right time to pursue yet.
I also completely understood why Quill went back for his Zune since that was a final gift from Yondu. If he was willing to fight all the guards in the prison from the first movie to grab his Mom's player, then it's not hard to believe that he would risk his life to get his Dad's.
Hope they never do that
I don’t want Star-Lord to have another love interest yet, but I’m like 99% sure Nova is gonna debut & join the Guardians after Thanos decimated Xandar right before Infinity War.
Richard Rider & Gamora become a thing in the comics and that could’ve been an interesting temporary fling before Quill & Gamora ended up reunited after some development across the next GOTG trilogy (like symbiote Spider-Man hopefully dating Black Cat before finding MJ again after his college trilogy).
I’m glad they didn’t get back together immediately, but we’re likely not gonna see any of that since Zoe Saldana seems to be done playing Gamora. It’s unfortunate because I feel there’s so much more they could’ve explored with that character. I worry the franchise just won’t be as unique without the OG cast & James Gunn.
Yeah the holiday special, werewolf by night, and secret invasion are actually pretty good so I recommend checking those ones out
I mean there’s nothing in the MCU that is so bad you shouldn’t watch it once to stay caught up, even as just background noise for doing something else.
Also if you’re legit fatigued of Marvel content, get other fucking hobbies
They can skip Secret Invasion...nothing good came out of that
@@BasicBodThor yeah I thought it was decent the first couple episodes but then it just kept getting worse
I thought What If was amazing
in the christmas special and this, drax says "dancing is for idiots" but dads do idiot things for their kids
I discovered only the other day that James Gunn confirmed that Groot is technically "the son" of Groot 🤷 OG Groot died at the end of Guardians 1 branching himself out and when the twig is planted and Groot grows, that is considered to be an entirely new individual with his own personality and body type etc... Hence the drastic difference in styles. I had always thought groot re-grew from the twig, turns out an entirely new Groot was born from it instead. It is totally possible that this is only new news to me tho 😂 but figured I'd share just incase.
Love how they show the alternate Gamora shown so happy with her ravager family driving the point she isn't our Gamora. The villain was great in this movie. You have to now watch the Holiday Special.
Finally! I was waiting for a reaction to this movie once it came on digital and little to no one had reacted to it yet. I’m so glad you guys are one of the first.
And the only one I've seen so far that doesn't think they're funnier than the actual movie and gives it space. People have no idea what makes a good reaction these days. Definitely enjoyed this one!
I saw GOTG Vol 3 in theaters with my best friend who knew nothing about it. Me & him both loved it. It was so good.
The more I thought about Peter's grandpa the sadder I got. That man lost his daughter and grandson in the same night. We likely wasn't even able to grieve his daughter's death because surely someone noticed Peter was gone and then had to re-focus to searching for him and then years of not actually knowing what happened to him. So to see his grandpa's reaction to him coming home really hit me.
Oh, man. She Hulk and Werewolf by Night are frivkkon AWESOME!
My favorite funny part of the movie was the whole " now what do i do?" "open the fucking door"
In addition to the general comments, I also love how they expanded on Mantis’s character. Not only is she able to temporarily manipulate other people’s feelings, not just making them sleep, but her heart as far as her closeness to Quill and also stepping up to Nebula to defend Drax was so meaningful. Plus she was able to befriend the Abilisks, which were created before the High Evolutionary knew how to make timid creatures.
"The Legendary Star-Lord will return" makes sense now. There has been word about a standalone Star-lord project.❤
After Phase 4 and some of the projects being dissapointed i was scared for Guardians but i never lost hope for them to be honest. I knew the movie was about to be peak and it was! Can't believe it ended and we won't see them again. The movie hit everything. Action, emotion. Backstory of Rocket was so sad and terrified. And the reference when Groot says ''I love you guys'' is actually confirmed by James Gunn that this happened, because we aleady understands what Groot says. We spend so much years with them, so we became one. We became family and we finally understands what Groot is saying, which is pretty good detail and i love it.
Absolutely top tier MCU
17:55 nebula and rocket were the only ones not dead during the snap, they only had each other for a long time so it makes sense that they have a connection.
Adam Warlock was such a child and I fucking loved it! 😂😂😂
Darker but that’s how they get people to never forget the movie. Really nice. I love it.
"He already had my heart but now he's taking my whole heart".....Real shi right there.
Definitely need to watch the Guardians Christmas special, guys. It's so much fun 😁👍 And by the way, in the comics Adam Warlick had the Soul Gem in his forehead. One of the many things the MCU altered from the source material! 🙄
I like how at the end we as the audience know groot enough to understand him.
Fun fact for you guys; but James Gunn confirm that we are able to understand Group now since we spent so much time with him. So technically, he did say I am Groot, but now we can understand what he saying.
Gotg vol 3 is just one big masterpiece of emotions I cried 5 times in the cinema
Rockets background story is heartbreaking
10/10 James knew what he was doing and breaking our hearts like this
Emotionally and storytelling wise this is the best mcu movies for me so far. In epicness still nothing beats final war of endgame.
Oh yeah, not seeing the Holiday Special definitely made a few things or 2 in this movie big surprises for you! I think you guys will enjoy Secret Invasion. It is really different than anything the MCU has done before. The closest in tone is probably the Jack Ryan series mixed with some Captain America: Winter Soldier & Marvel's Agents of Shield. I quite enjoyed Ms. Marvel & think it is their "replacement" for Spider-Man. It was charming and playful and fun without being cheesy. I really enjoyed Hawkeye a lot. I think the MCU is getting ready to do a Young Avengers to replace all the MCU characters we now know. I did not think Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania was THAT bad. Yes, it was not among the best MCU movies and the quality did dip and it did not meet expectations, but I still liked it. I think it was overhyped a bit too much, but judging it on its own merit, I still had fun with it. I also liked it more than the previous Ant-Man sequel. MoonKnight is pretty cool too. I see WandaVision, MoonKnight, Werewolf by Night and Secret Invasion as the MCU slowly getting us prepared bit-by-bit for the MCU ready to go much darker in, for example, Deadpool 3 and their version of Blade and DareDevil: Born Again. If the rumors are true, if I were you, I would watch the Ben Affleck Daredevil movie and Jennifer Garner's Elektra movies. I see all the MCU Disney+ shows as well as all of Phase 4 movies to be the MCU experimenting with different styles and tones and just seeing what works and what does not. The MCU was getting hammered after Avengers Endgame by people accusing it of just copying and pasting all their movies and following the same formula. I vehemently disagreed with that sentiment, but nonetheless, I think Disney+ was their way of changing things up and trying new things. I see Falcon & Winter Soldier & Black Widow to be more traditional MCU flavor, but everything else was experimental. Shang-Gi was more martial arts, The Eternals was more drama and Thor: Love & Thunder was more goofy comedy. I think that was all intentional. Even She-Hulk had its good fun moments, even though overall, I will likely only want to really see a few episodes of that season again. But, if there is a season 2, I will watch it. Bottom line is I am still glad I got to see everything. Even if it was not all my cup of tea, so to speak, it still was all an enjoyable experience story-wise that I do not regret having seen.
Good point
In that clip you showed where the place blew up, that was _Asgard_ , not Knowhere.
You guys must watch the 2 specials. They're one of the best MCU projects in Phase 4, both unique that prove that you can tell a great story even with shortened length.
Another thing I loved about this movie was the cameos , the girl who gets held hostage by gamaora is actually ratcatcher from suicide squad, the girl who gets shot by gamora in the thigh is James guns wife who plays harcourt in peacemaker and the head guard who talks to Peter plays the detachable kid in suicide squad
And can’t forget murn
This movie was incredible!!!!!! James Gunn always nails the emotion!
Words cannot describe how awesome this movie is the acting is some of the best I ever seen from marvel and the humor doesn’t take away any of the dark moments James Gunn gave the guardians the perfect sendoff
The editing game for this reaction was FIRE. Great job y'all.
This has to be the only movie where I haven’t hated a villain more just omg the actor killed it & I love Rocket even more. This was really damn good & the music is always great !
I never, ever thought I'd get weepy watching a hug between a raccoon, a human, and a tree. 😌 This movie was SO good, and a perfect send-off for the Guardians. I was thoroughly invested in Rocket's backstory, and that scene with the little raccoons and Rocket required about five tissues. The combination of action, humor and heart is a hallmark of the Guardians movies.
Also, although I completely agree with you about recent MCU movies and shows ranging from so-so to bad (with a couple exceptions), I strongly encourage you to watch the Guardians Christmas Special, and Werewolf By Night. The Guardians special is hilarious and has the usual heart, and WBN is absolutely one of the best things Marvel has done, in my humble opinion. Great reactions you two!
The scene where he saves the little Racoons WITH the key that he made to save his friends in a similar situation just broke my heart I died crying in that scene, so good.
Peter Quill/Star Lord definitely was in the comics. I am pretty sure all of the guardian team members were in the comics in some form or another, at one time or another. They were not created for film but adapted for it.
Secret invasion is actually incredible
Have you seen the latest episode?
@@morganghostbusters-egonfan no actually is it bad?
@@JesG. No.
@@morganghostbusters-egonfan oh ok good
@@JesG. which episodes have you watched?
I hope we see Nebula and Groot again. They’re my favorite and Groot was so awesome in this film! Love the big blue meanie 💜
Groot didn't speak English at the end. He said "I am Groot". Every one who spends enough time with him understands him. Like the new Gamora understands him in the end of the movie . When Groot says "I love you guys" in the end, This time it’s us, the audience, who are finally able to understand what he mean.
Cool Fact: the high resolution is actually still alive, the director james gunn said that when they where trying to escape the ship, you can see drax carrying him.
This movie was so emotional and made me feel sad but at the same time happy to feel like I'm part of this group too by "understanding" what Groot says in the end in my opinion this is the best MCU trilogy.
never been more happy to hear "but not yet" 34:45
Groots final form at the end is just how he naturally is, Groots species feed off of power to grow, so between Groot spending time with Star Lord (when he was still half celestial), Thor, Adam Warlock etc, he fed off their power and grew to the massive size at the end. That is also how groot appears in the comics too.
Rocket Raccoon is definitely the real star (not to mention the TRUE heart) of Vol. 3, which is quite incredible considering the fact that he doesn't appear as much but you can still feel his presence even if he isn't there.
Actress Mikaela Hoover who voiced Floor did a phenomenal job. I rarely get emotional or attached to characters in a movie, much less animated ones. But she really did break my heart with "Rocket, Teefs, Floor Go Now!" Such a simple line, but she put so much pain and fear into it, that for a moment, I could feel true sympathy for her character. As one commenter pointed out, Floor's rabbit instincts were telling her to run, but she couldn't leave her family, so she ran in a circle begging them to go. I'm surprised that Hoover hasn't done more that I've heard about, she has talent.
This is definitely the best movie of the year so far! I experienced every emotion. It was truly the perfect send off for the original team. 😢
The MCU shows were mostly really good. Secret Invasion is great.
The peter quill nebula was carrying in the beginning was actually a realistic silicone doll of chris pratt
“Rocket, Teefs, Floor go now” will forever be burned into my head and make me an emotional wreck for the rest of my life
This is my favorite MCU film. It made me feel so many emotions in a good way.
Guardians Vol. 3 was the best Marvel movie alongside Shang-Chi and No Way Home since Endgame. James Gunn went bonkers on this film and made the best Marvel trilogy in my opinion. ❤
I was a mess in the theaters. I truly love the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy. Love the reaction guys....Nimona next?👀
Has no one else brought up how the coolest scene in this movie was completely edited out! WTF!
How dare you prefer a well edited and entertaining reaction!! Can’t you just enjoy 50mins of extremely loud eardrum blowing screech-like sounds and laughs instead???? 😂😂
Y'all should definitely watch Secret Invasion because the acting has been phenomenal and on par with the old Captain America movies to me as far as raw emotion goes.
I agree
@@CoolDee933so far 4 episodes it has being incredible.
@@tharukaepaarachchi814 fr
Now that SI has ended it's pretty safe to say it SUCKED big time.
Star Lord is very underrated , he's very strong and smart , He is definitely one of my favorite characters in the mcu
Finally! I’ve been waiting for ppl to react to this movie
James Gunn was told he could do whatever he wanted with the Guardians…
So he gave them a happy ending.
When the 1st Guardians movie came out I had little expecations when I went to see it since they were the Marvel characters I knew the least about prior to seeing them on the big screen. I ended up loving the 1st film, the 2nd film, & the 3rd film so much that to me it's the overall best movie trilogy Marvel has made.
Karen Gillian played her part like she was secretly crushing on Peter, I ship them.
The best part is when Rocket says I'm through running.
When the High Evolutionary imitated Rocket's screams of grief after Lylla is killed reminded me of Ted Levine doing the same as Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs .
6:10 Star-Lord wasn't a character written for the movies he was also a Guardians member in the comics.
6:15 his treatment wasn't given to Vision they just both had infinity stones in their head. In this movie it's a bolt since the infinity stones were destroyed but Adam Warlock and Thanos are so tied together especially since they showed the soul realm in Infinity War and that's Warlock's thing so they really should have introduced him in the Infinity Saga
Fun Fact: James Gunn, Chukwuji Iwuji, and a VFX artist confirmed that the High Evolutionary was spared by the Guardians. He’s not dead, just locked in a cell
Theres a theory about why Floor wanted to be named Floor. In the movie youll notice that Floor walks not with her own legs hut with stilts that are held onto her spine. The theory is that this causes extreme amount of pain whenever she is stands on those metal arms. This is why she calls herself Floor, because it relieves pain when she lays on the floor
Oh my god that is so sad… I’m gonna cry again. Hits even harder for me because it hurts for me to walk sometimes.
Fun fact: In the comics, the High Evolutionary was the one responsible for giving Scarlet Witch her powers due to him experimenting on her mutant gene along with supernatural influence. Also he didn't die in the movie. You can see him getting dragged off the ship and in a deleted scene is put in a cage by Rocket. Also i would highly recommend Werewolf By Night especially for Halloween
at the end groot really should have said "mi familia" so both franchies can run forever
I'd recommend watching Secret Invasion, actually. Of the recent MCU projects it's one of the good ones. It's in the tone of shows like Homeland or The Expanse but mixed into the MCU with a "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" flavor.
I’ve really been looking so forward to watching reactions to this movie so bad. And I’m honestly happy you guys are the first guardians 3 reaction I’m watching. Love you both! And excited to get to the end of this. Hope y’all love this as much as I did
James Gunn said that we heard "I love you guys" as groot, cause we as viewers understand what he says just like the guardians.
Groot got a Game Boy for Christmas (the holiday special) In fact... Rocket got the BEST Christmas present. You'll see.
I love that James Gunn brought over a LOT of the actors that he used for The Suicide squad for this movie
31:34 That wasn't flying. That was falling with style.
“I understood that reference.”
Warlock led the Infinity Watch. He wore the Soul Stone not the Mind Stone. Visions gem in the comics is a solar crystal that allows him to fire energy blasts from his head.
The original members of the Guardians of the Galaxy (1969) was Vance Astro also known as Major Victory. Along with Martinex T'naga, Charlie-27, Yondu Udanta and later with Stakar Ogord a.k.a. Starhawk, Aleta Ogord and Nikki.
You get to see Sylvester Stallone as Stakar as well as Martinex and a few others of the original group when they confront Yondu about abducting kids in the first Guardians movie.
So many great performances. Linda Cardellini killed her voice work especially.
This one definitely touches the feelers. It allergies i swear.
Star Lord debuted in the comics in 1976.
Honestly, both those specials were really good. & Ms. Marvel's a really fun character. Secret Invasion's been great so far, a return to their gritty themes seen in the Cap films.
The guardians have Adam Warlock, He was a child in this film. When they return he will be an absolute juggernaut!
As a Dallasite, I have to say that I agree with your hat!
What's interesting about Rocket's back story is not only does it explain why he was so hesitant to have friends.... it also explains why Groot is the one friend he made. His greatest fear is his friends dying while he lives on again.... Groot just comes back, regrows, if he dies... so Rocket's greatest fear can't ever happen with Groot.
This movie was so damn special to watch in theater.
Since you guys didn’t watch the Holiday Special, following their time with Thor the Guardians buy Knowhere from the Collector. In the process, Cosmo joins the team.
And Mantis being Star-Lord’s half-sister was something that was cut from Volume 2. She confided that in Drax way back then. In the MCU timeline, that was about a decade ago.
At least Peter admitted to screwing up in Infinity War.
I also thought I recognized the actor portraying Theel. Nico Santos portrayed Mateo Liwanag in Superstore.
My favorite funny moment was Mantis’ powers in Orgocorp.
@20:14 that’s exactly what Chukwudi Iwuji was going for. He genuinely wants us to hate the High Evolutionary. I certainly do.
My favorite fight scenes were Star-Lord and Groot gunslinging and then of course the Guardians fighting together one last time with No Sleep Till Brooklyn playing in the background.
(I hope they do something like that in the next season of Cobra Kai, especially if they bring back Salazar.)
James Gunn confirmed that the High Evolutionary is still alive. They took him into custody on Knowhere. It’s all in a deleted scene.
And finally, Come And Get Your Love by Redbone helps bring the Guardians’ journey full circle.
The Guardians’ Holiday Special and Werewolf By Night are actually great projects! The Holiday Special had me tearing up and WBN is a great homage to old school monster movies
This movie portrayed Animal cruelty perfectly! I would never hurt an animal.
