@Ban this youtube Hell, Yondu was even proud of Quill for doing it. For one, he demanded 'that orb', not the 'stone', and never bothered to confirm the orb he was demanding had the Stone in it until he thought about there being MULTIPLE orbs later. So he had no reason to go after him over it technically... Peter had kept his word, and Yondu had to keep his.

@@GuukanKitsune And as they establish at the end of the first one, Yondu isn't above breaking a deal when the buyer is a @$%hole.

Here’s another thing, that Troll Doll was with Quill when he was abducted, he probably treasured it like his Walkman. And given how close they were, Yondu probably knew that. Sure Quill took the stone, but he left, what was to him one of his most treasured possessions. His way of saying “I can’t let you do this but I still care about you.”
I love how Yondu and Rocket are behaving more like villains here than heroes or antiheroes. The sadistic murderhappy smiles on their faces while they're mowing down all the ravagers.
Well, Rocket and Yondu are not the boys from the church choir, especially since these ravagers not only betrayed Yondu, they also sent all dissenters into outer space.

You know what makes this scene even more badass? Rocket doesn't quite have Yondu's fin on when the guys walk in. That means the conversation between Rocket and Yondu immediately before this scene started must have been "Start the music. Are you sure? I haven't quite got the fin on yet. Yeah, start it up, they ain't gonna have enough time."

Here's what I see you have an army or fuck it just Yondu and you then stick him in a room with loads of moniters to flying drones with cameras and viola you have won
I know it’s Yondu’s moment, but having Rocket and Groot there makes it ten times better, if any of the guardians deserved to be in this awesome scene it’d be them. Perfect mix of the natural storyline and a great stand alone scene.
2:25 is the best part of this scene. The moment when the song kicks from the normal recording to a FREAKING OPERA of Come a Little Bit Closer gives me chills of excitement every time!
2:56 - This is the moment that elevated the scene to a masterpiece in my mind. Just Yondu, Rocket, and Groot laughing at their carnage and having a ball, while the music blares!
It's even better when you notice that Youndu exterminated 100% of his crew with no concern for people who might have only gotten along with the coup because they were afraid.
Man leveled an entire fucking army, crashed his ship into one of the most dangerous people alive, then died saving his son, and after his death he was honored and brought many people he originally worked with back together What a badass
I hate it. Why don't they just shoot him? Why are they just standing there, letting him kill them? The fact that no one shoots at him in the movies always bugged me.
@@TheRealBaDaBingDK shock and fear; this all happened over the course of a couple seconds and it was pretty clear they were all _really_ terrified of him with the fin
@@TheRealBaDaBingDK I'm pretty sure the actual reason is because it's happening too fast for them to react. But if they showed it as fast as it was actually happening, you wouldn't be able to enjoy the show.
I love how creative the action/combat sequences in every GOTG movie are, even and especially when compared to other films in the MCU. This is one of the most out-of-the-box and fun action sequences in any action/sci-fi movie I've ever seen
There’s something I just realized that makes this scene so much more satisfying. When Ego plays a song that Meredith Quill liked, he’s doing it to manipulate Peter. He has to explain in painstaking detail how he and Peter are the Sailor in the song “Brandy” and how they live on a higher plane of existence where they cannot get the girl. When Yondu plays a song that Meredith Quill enjoyed, he’s doing it to honor Peter. He also doesn’t need to say a single word to make it clear that he is José in “Come a Little Bit Closer”. He’s going to enjoy every bloody minute of his revenge against the mutineers for killing all crew members who remained loyal even in the face of Yondu’s continued protection of his boy. Also, José gets the girl while the sailor leaves her stranded.
He doesn't even whistle on set they add it in after to ensure it sounds consistent. I imagine it is difficult not to whistle though and they had to do retakes when he did whistle, bit like when folks who have a part of a Jedi do the "vroom vroom" during lightsaber fights.
Never noticed this before, but the two pistols Rocket picks up at the beginning are nerf blasters. A nerf recon and a nerf nite finder, cut up and painted different colors to look the part. Hilarious and awesome use of toys from the props department. Sells the look well.
There was some post on one of the social media sites I frequent that matched up the guns in multiple movies with different Nerf guns. From what I understand a decent chuck of sci-fi and 'vaguely militaristic' guns are all repainted Nerf and it amuses me ever so much when I spot one in a movie.
He could’ve solo’d basically anyone, the only exceptions being the very powerful people like Cap/Bucky if they had the reaction speed, Strange if he knew what was coming, Tony if he also knew what he was getting into and maybe Ant man but that’s a stretch. Also Banner/Hulk but that’s depends on what form he’s in.
@@michaelzhang9806 i doubt mcu hulk can tank yondus arrows it literally pierced through the ships walls and many people anf still have the velocity to do so over and over but comics hulk might be able to tank it cause hulk is much stronger there
Mini analysis of the final part of this INCREDIBLE scene: This is Yondu’s ship, from the start we knew that from them being already in the mechanics room and the fact that they went directly to this camera room, it’s pretty reasonable that he knows its hallways, secret passages and so much more like the back of his hand so him being able to control his arrow through the corridors and very walls isn’t too insane to believe (though still insanely impressive, he went on a killing spree using OG Resident Evil controls and DID NOT MISS). What’s equally (if not more so) impressive is Rocket watching Yondu’s arrow through the cameras and gaining a near equal understanding of the ship’s build in SECONDS. You can even watch Rocket’s facial journey of “So if that guy’s there and I aim… here” before firing and looking over and grinning because he knows he’s figured this out and is free to take out any and all Ravagers he wants (thank you animators, y’all are CHAMPS). Then it’s just two mad geniuses shooting fish in a barrel cause no one else on the ship is THIS clever. What a scene, what amazing action and story telling all in one!
Not to mention how badass an "I got you little buddy," moment it is for him to intentionally leave Groot's tormentor for Groot to handle. Unspoken, in-stride, just "here you go!"
And the award for coolest unstoppable sci-fi weapon goes to the whistle-arrow. The guy who came up with that is a genius. And I love how they use whistles that are recognizable as whistle commands for working/herding dogs.
@@FargonNemeloc I only recognize some of them, mostly the 'come here' whistle, and the best clip is actually when Yondu crashes in the field in Vol 1 since in that clip there isn't the music to cover up what he's doing, but I'm pretty sure most of them are actual whistle commands.
@@oldcat1790 Seriously. As cool as this scene is, it's also so fantastically dumb. Not one of these gun-packing idiots fires once, they all just charge him.
@@oldcat1790 You beat me to saying it. This scene is more frustrating than exhilarating to me. Hard to take these guys seriously as a threat when they clearly have no idea how guns work.
What a cinematic masterpiece it was. The moment when the low keys of the opera was played and yondu and rocket were enjoying the killing with the arrow kicking the ass of everyone really defines what a cinematic masterpiece it is
one thing Guardians always never fails to do right is integrate music into scenes perfectly, that alone already makes scenes 100 times better but Guardian's sound track always has the right song for the scene and that song tells you exactly what the member/s are feeling in that exact moment.
After rewatching this movie plenty times, I just realized what makes me keep on coming back, it's the camera works and the cinematography that's very appealing to me, it's unique which I rarely see the other MCU titles do, and some of the frames kinda reminds me of how they phase anime
what i love about this is how it shows the strength of the original guardians of the galaxy through yondu. this man was a hunter, by the way. imagine how strong the members of the original were when they had someone like yondu in their team.
Nothing can convince me the call that James Gunn talks about that he had with the producers of Endgame and Infinity war wasn;'t about yondu's lack of involvement in the movies. Literally no one would care about hawkeye if they had a guy who could do this in an avengers movie. He basically says he got a call and chose to switch out Gamora for Yondu after talking to the Russo's. Gamora's involvement was supposed to be minimal which is why gamora is barely in vol 3 becuase gunn wrote the scripts with "the avengers movies in mind" but not based off of whatever the russos and kevin wanted. Nothing can convince me he didn't get a call to kill yondu lol.
@@trulygoatedd Yeah, that was what I meant too. If Yondu is doing that much damage to the army like what Rhodie did, they would also try to neutralize him Though unlike Rhodie, Yondu is on the ground, so it is still posssible for him to get overwhelmed by the Outriders.
I don't know how I stumbled upon this video. But it is incredible. I especially like the joy in the blue guy at 2:57. I can't imagine what it would have been like to see this in the movie theater. The song makes this scene.
The thing I like about this movie is that they made you able to notice those background people. The ones that's stabbed by the arrow here are there on screen on the "Taserface bully" scene. And they really stand out at that moment, and still stand out pretty well on this part.
Similarly, Baby Groot gets his revenge on Retch (the bald guy who tortured him by pouring alcohol on him and screaming in his face); while Gef (the bearded guy with goggles who wanted to smash Baby Groot with a rock) first gets his beer mug shattered, then the arrow doubles back to kill him.
James Gunn seriously has the best track record with comic book media. Gotg, TSS, Peacemaker, and now he's in charge of DC Studios. I hope he brings the same heart and passion to these films, and I am honestly hopeful that he will.
Some people think its dumb because they couldve EASILY shot yoni and rocket in that moment, there were like, 30 of them and not a single one thought to fire their weapon But in my opinion? It just showcases just how terrifying Yondu's Arrow is, it was so efficient at what it does that if an enemy hears yondu whistle, theyre practically as good as dead
@@northernalpine4350I mean they will get stunned when they face with death and what they did at that time is how to stop it, surely just kill Yondu directly will not good because the arrow will still going
@@northernalpine4350they wouldn’t have been as good as dead if the people in the front to yondu’s right just shot him though. It was a clear shot and he had the arrow flying through them in a way that made it very easy to do that
A small detail I absolutely love about this scene is that one grunt who yells "NO!" when Taser Face announces Yondu's escape. That delivery just sells the fear so well.
@@Reactiontime6000Taserface is the same. For all his big talk earlier he woke up, heard the music and immediately looked to the drawer and its contents. When he saw the fin was gone, he immediately went on the tannoy to express to the rest of the crew exactly how screwed they all were.
I love this scene because the guy just uses an arrow to kill all those who revolted against him and it kinda reminds you of John Wick with a pencil in a way. No gun or sword, just an arrow. BRILLIANT!
@@bobraekevelt7953 quicksilver (X-Men) was the blueprint but then everyone and their mom decided to copy that and do entirely too much slowmo to emphasize how fast they are. We're constantly shown the world through the speedsters perspective rather than the people around them. Makkari has no slow mo. She's blitzing everything the entire movie and moves like a force of nature with only mcu's superman equivalent being able to so much as barely react to her movements. More than any recent speedsters, makkari showed how dangerous that power actually is against 99% of people they face including other super powered beings. There are very few beings in the MCU so far that she couldn't instantly kill before they even knew what happened.
Because he kills more people than smallpox by going for a stroll with his pet and a plant, whistling easily. It's so EFFORTLESS. And the one tactical consideration he makes is beelining to the control room so he can spot his targets on the monitors and settle business like a conductor in front of an orchestra.
@@angryman1206 Yes but it can lead to another branch timeline where Yondu is alive. The Sacred Timeline won't change but another timeline can be created. Sacred Timeline - Yondu (Dead) Another Timeline - Yondu (Alive) Problem Solved?
This scene is packed full of incredible shots. I especially love the face reaction shots at 1:19. I think it takes a deft hand to make dozens of murders in a PG-13 movie work while being both satisfying to the story and funny and this scene nails it.
Never understood any of the hate or distaste for this movie. It’s probably one of the best comic book movie’s of all time, you can tell everyone was having a good making it. Rewatching all the guardian films has made me even more appreciative of James Gunn for his style, it just feels like you’re watching a comic come to life. Also can we please praise this move for its job at giving everyone meaning screen time? Like everyone of the characters got something that made you connect with them more in a way that does feel forced or overdone.
That's why Tazerface realized that "Yondu's got the fin!!" That specific music must have been played at some point before in a similar situation, or something.
The music in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies are so well orchestrated in ways you would have never thought older music would work in such a film. Can we give a shout out to those music editors and producers for this gem. Also the switch between a boosted radio and a more dramatic 4th wall epic beat at 2:25 is amazing.
@@kaczoreuropejski582 Jay and the Americans - "Come a little bit closer" ... although, they have an edit halfway through into an opera with heavy electric guitars. So I imagine there's a version specifically for this movie.

@@bjsdemon Right, but he shot through a door that was 90 degrees off to one side without looking down the sights. He had to work out in his head exactly where to aim and did it perfectly.
The part where the arrow hits the light and then everything goes dark and only it lights up is amazing!! This is one of the best scenes in the MCU and in the history of cinema :D
For those wondering, yes Michael Rooker really did the whistling. He had to learn how to whistle with the fake teeth in. Confirmed it when meeting Rooker at C2E2 2022
They could have kept him in and had the arrow not be able to pierce Thanos' skin. Then in a callback to the Infinity Gauntlet series have Thanos remove his mouth.
@@peterfrank3365 ah yes a barret m82 hits with 13,000 foot pounds of energy which is probably a few hundreds times the kinetic energy of this arrow but hey it would be a much shorter movie if Thanos just got one shot. Or maybe the most advanced civilization on earth could upgrade their cloaks and spears to say oh a comprehensive air defense system to down those alien space ships they definitely have knowledge of and should be preparing for but then there wouldn't be a cool ground battle. Or imagine this arrow except the size of a light pole and x1000.
@@whatsmolly5741 lol right!? All I could think of was how effective War Machines conventional weapons were. If only they had had the standard military weapons of any other country....
Notice how brave they are until they hear him whistle and realize they just made a huge mistake. Classic.\ Edit: Ty all for my first comment passing 1.2K
When you sit down and actually analyze this scene closely, you realize it’s doing such an amount of heavy lifting in only 3 minutes. It absolutely cements Yondu as a stone-cold badass and why 80% of his crew had to revolt at once before they had the combined cojones to even confront him. The fact that he uses Quill’s music to commit his happy little jaunty mass murder gives you some insight into their relationship, how close they actually are, how much they’ve influenced each other and even the fact that Peter takes after him in a lot of ways. And then it shows you, and this is important to give more weight to their later scene together, that Yondu and Rocket are A LOT alike. They both had no trouble whatsoever casually walking through the ship murdering a bunch of people and enjoying it. Such competent, efficient and yet enjoyable writing from James Gunn.
Except in typical hollywood manner, it is not his competence, it is their incompetence. There were multiple times when he could get shot, he was just a free target, no hiding, no crouching, and no one even attempted to do that.
@@SwordWieldingDuck Personally i dont understand why hollywood does that... That scene where the guy points at him instead of shooting was just dump and should not have made the cut.
@Michael Trettin except people did die fighting Thanos. Black widow had to sacrifice her life, gamora was sacrificed by thanos, vision was killed, iron man had to sacrifice his life. Even captain america is no longer a hero. None of those heroes were given plot armor. Yondu dies in volume 2. Your statement makes no sense when you think about it.
@Michael Trettin thanos technically still killed iron man and black widow. It was his actions that led to them sacrificing themselves. If it wasn't for him, they wouldn't have to sacrifice themselves. So he technically killed loki,black widow,iron man, gamora, and vision. All main characters whose "plot armor" didn't save them. Marvel kills main characters all the time. They don't treat them like invincible heroes. Throughout the comics,movies, and tv shows the hero's die. Find something else to complain about 🤣
Considering how effortlessly he slaughters people just while walking and not turning his head, it really makes you think about how many people yondu has killed, not just individuals but probably small armies aswell
Originally Yondu was from a primitive tribe of Hunter's who had experienced multiple essentially raids on their planet. Most of them were wiped out by one of the Kree's warrior races. This was in like the comics in the 60's. I don't know if this is considered canon in the MCU and they just never say it but I doubt it. Especially since they messed up the mutants and X-Men. This is before they essentially rewrote all the comics in the 80s and 90s. Yondu was one of the original members of the Guardians alongside Vance Astro. Yondu was basically written off the team when they abandoned a lot of the old plot points. Star Lord and this iteration of the Guardians only really started in like 2007. Which they essentially became the prime universe Guardians.
1:47 - 1:54 Is still one of the greatest scenes imo out of all of MCU. Everything from the music, to the whistling, to the bodies falling down, is so masterfully done. Also, total wallpaper stuff.
@@nicolasivan2320 yeah, no shit.. Like, cap doing his last stand & then there's just a red tail light on thanos army, suddenly all the lil spawn of satan just fall leaving the big gun...
The arrow is my favorite weapon in all of fiction. It's unique, lethal, fast, simple and best of all it's not unbelievable. This weapon seems entirely possible with this level of technology. sure it probably wouldn't have the red streak and would likely look different but how it works would still stay the complete same.
the fact he didn't kill everyone in the first film really shows how much he was just letting quill get away with stuff.

Love all of this, but especially that part, it intensifies the coolness of the entire scene up to ten!
Not only that, but the added guitar really adds to this moment as well. Definetly one fo the best scenes in this whole movie.
We can all agree we need a full song of this opera version
It isn't opera. It's a symphony.
2:56 - This is the moment that elevated the scene to a masterpiece in my mind. Just Yondu, Rocket, and Groot laughing at their carnage and having a ball, while the music blares!

I love how creative the action/combat sequences in every GOTG movie are, even and especially when compared to other films in the MCU. This is one of the most out-of-the-box and fun action sequences in any action/sci-fi movie I've ever seen
There’s something I just realized that makes this scene so much more satisfying. When Ego plays a song that Meredith Quill liked, he’s doing it to manipulate Peter. He has to explain in painstaking detail how he and Peter are the Sailor in the song “Brandy” and how they live on a higher plane of existence where they cannot get the girl. When Yondu plays a song that Meredith Quill enjoyed, he’s doing it to honor Peter. He also doesn’t need to say a single word to make it clear that he is José in “Come a Little Bit Closer”. He’s going to enjoy every bloody minute of his revenge against the mutineers for killing all crew members who remained loyal even in the face of Yondu’s continued protection of his boy. Also, José gets the girl while the sailor leaves her stranded.

That’s what dubbing is for
He doesn't even whistle on set they add it in after to ensure it sounds consistent. I imagine it is difficult not to whistle though and they had to do retakes when he did whistle, bit like when folks who have a part of a Jedi do the "vroom vroom" during lightsaber fights.

Never noticed this before, but the two pistols Rocket picks up at the beginning are nerf blasters. A nerf recon and a nerf nite finder, cut up and painted different colors to look the part. Hilarious and awesome use of toys from the props department. Sells the look well.
Watch Adam Savage repaint a Nerf Gun. Man that is was one hell of a intro on how to make it look much more awesome
I really just read "recon" as "raccoon" and went "heh, makes sense..."
Nerf or nothing!
I have seen that video Adam Savage turns a nerf gun into a Heavy Bolter from 40k
There was some post on one of the social media sites I frequent that matched up the guns in multiple movies with different Nerf guns. From what I understand a decent chuck of sci-fi and 'vaguely militaristic' guns are all repainted Nerf and it amuses me ever so much when I spot one in a movie.

@@christophermoore6110 spider man could probably catch the arrow mid flight
I mean Yondu can still set his arrow on fire so yea.
Mini analysis of the final part of this INCREDIBLE scene:
This is Yondu’s ship, from the start we knew that from them being already in the mechanics room and the fact that they went directly to this camera room, it’s pretty reasonable that he knows its hallways, secret passages and so much more like the back of his hand so him being able to control his arrow through the corridors and very walls isn’t too insane to believe (though still insanely impressive, he went on a killing spree using OG Resident Evil controls and DID NOT MISS). What’s equally (if not more so) impressive is Rocket watching Yondu’s arrow through the cameras and gaining a near equal understanding of the ship’s build in SECONDS.
You can even watch Rocket’s facial journey of “So if that guy’s there and I aim… here” before firing and looking over and grinning because he knows he’s figured this out and is free to take out any and all Ravagers he wants (thank you animators, y’all are CHAMPS). Then it’s just two mad geniuses shooting fish in a barrel cause no one else on the ship is THIS clever.
What a scene, what amazing action and story telling all in one!
Not to mention how badass an "I got you little buddy," moment it is for him to intentionally leave Groot's tormentor for Groot to handle. Unspoken, in-stride, just "here you go!"
And the award for coolest unstoppable sci-fi weapon goes to the whistle-arrow. The guy who came up with that is a genius. And I love how they use whistles that are recognizable as whistle commands for working/herding dogs.
Dog whistle commands is a bit of tribia i didnt knew, interesting use
@@FargonNemeloc I only recognize some of them, mostly the 'come here' whistle, and the best clip is actually when Yondu crashes in the field in Vol 1 since in that clip there isn't the music to cover up what he's doing, but I'm pretty sure most of them are actual whistle commands.
it's called Yaka Arrow.

What a cinematic masterpiece it was. The moment when the low keys of the opera was played and yondu and rocket were enjoying the killing with the arrow kicking the ass of everyone really defines what a cinematic masterpiece it is
one thing Guardians always never fails to do right is integrate music into scenes perfectly, that alone already makes scenes 100 times better but Guardian's sound track always has the right song for the scene and that song tells you exactly what the member/s are feeling in that exact moment.
After rewatching this movie plenty times, I just realized what makes me keep on coming back, it's the camera works and the cinematography that's very appealing to me, it's unique which I rarely see the other MCU titles do, and some of the frames kinda reminds me of how they phase anime
what i love about this is how it shows the strength of the original guardians of the galaxy through yondu. this man was a hunter, by the way. imagine how strong the members of the original were when they had someone like yondu in their team.
Indeed
end thanos army in like 5 seconds
Nothing can convince me the call that James Gunn talks about that he had with the producers of Endgame and Infinity war wasn;'t about yondu's lack of involvement in the movies. Literally no one would care about hawkeye if they had a guy who could do this in an avengers movie.
He basically says he got a call and chose to switch out Gamora for Yondu after talking to the Russo's. Gamora's involvement was supposed to be minimal which is why gamora is barely in vol 3 becuase gunn wrote the scripts with "the avengers movies in mind" but not based off of whatever the russos and kevin wanted. Nothing can convince me he didn't get a call to kill yondu lol.
This scene would be mad dark if they were the villains
Or changing tye music
Nah it'd still be cool honestly
basically it would be like Tai Lung's escape. Him alone vs an Army
but they are
They're not EXACTLY heroes either

He's an army in his own right.
he could easily wipe out Thanos's army by himself
@@zdine2155 Doubt it. Rhodie with his hundreds of bullets and missiles couldn't do that. Yondu like him, who would've also been overwhelmed
@@ronaldrump5058 Actually Rhodey wasn't overwhelmed at all. He was actually doing so much damage that they had to neutralize him first
@@trulygoatedd Yeah, that was what I meant too. If Yondu is doing that much damage to the army like what Rhodie did, they would also try to neutralize him
Though unlike Rhodie, Yondu is on the ground, so it is still posssible for him to get overwhelmed by the Outriders.
I don't know how I stumbled upon this video. But it is incredible. I especially like the joy in the blue guy at 2:57. I can't imagine what it would have been like to see this in the movie theater. The song makes this scene.
It was amazing!! The surround sound just made it 10x better.
His name is Yondu if you didn’t know
The arrow coming at you in 3D was just excellent.
you swear you hear that damn arrow flying right behind your head a few times
I watch this at theater. Its freaking absolutely FANTASTIC!
The thing I like about this movie is that they made you able to notice those background people. The ones that's stabbed by the arrow here are there on screen on the "Taserface bully" scene. And they really stand out at that moment, and still stand out pretty well on this part.
Similarly, Baby Groot gets his revenge on Retch (the bald guy who tortured him by pouring alcohol on him and screaming in his face); while Gef (the bearded guy with goggles who wanted to smash Baby Groot with a rock) first gets his beer mug shattered, then the arrow doubles back to kill him.
Yeah they are not useless npc's like in most Blockbuster Films, they're actual characters that add to the story
Why did Thanos want the Infinity Stones, This little arrow would have done the job just fine.
Wow 😂😂😂😂
Shhhhh! Are you crazy? That's supposed to be a secret!

But in my opinion? It just showcases just how terrifying Yondu's Arrow is, it was so efficient at what it does that if an enemy hears yondu whistle, theyre practically as good as dead

Because he kills more people than smallpox by going for a stroll with his pet and a plant, whistling easily. It's so EFFORTLESS. And the one tactical consideration he makes is beelining to the control room so he can spot his targets on the monitors and settle business like a conductor in front of an orchestra.

Until Daniel Baxter (the guy from HISHE) made "Here comes my arrow".
When you sit down and actually analyze this scene closely, you realize it’s doing such an amount of heavy lifting in only 3 minutes.
It absolutely cements Yondu as a stone-cold badass and why 80% of his crew had to revolt at once before they had the combined cojones to even confront him.
The fact that he uses Quill’s music to commit his happy little jaunty mass murder gives you some insight into their relationship, how close they actually are, how much they’ve influenced each other and even the fact that Peter takes after him in a lot of ways.
And then it shows you, and this is important to give more weight to their later scene together, that Yondu and Rocket are A LOT alike. They both had no trouble whatsoever casually walking through the ship murdering a bunch of people and enjoying it.
Such competent, efficient and yet enjoyable writing from James Gunn.
Yes... I love it when the leader of a group is that powerful. It justifies why they should fear him.
Except in typical hollywood manner, it is not his competence, it is their incompetence. There were multiple times when he could get shot, he was just a free target, no hiding, no crouching, and no one even attempted to do that.
@@SwordWieldingDuck Personally i dont understand why hollywood does that... That scene where the guy points at him instead of shooting was just dump and should not have made the cut.
@Michael Trettin except people did die fighting Thanos. Black widow had to sacrifice her life, gamora was sacrificed by thanos, vision was killed, iron man had to sacrifice his life. Even captain america is no longer a hero. None of those heroes were given plot armor. Yondu dies in volume 2. Your statement makes no sense when you think about it.
@Michael Trettin thanos technically still killed iron man and black widow. It was his actions that led to them sacrificing themselves. If it wasn't for him, they wouldn't have to sacrifice themselves. So he technically killed loki,black widow,iron man, gamora, and vision. All main characters whose "plot armor" didn't save them. Marvel kills main characters all the time. They don't treat them like invincible heroes. Throughout the comics,movies, and tv shows the hero's die. Find something else to complain about 🤣
This is one of my favorite movie scenes in all of film history. It is so artistic and good. The song goes well too. Gotg 2 is so good.
0:42 I love how as soon as Taser Face heard the music over the intercom, he knew exactly what was up
Considering how effortlessly he slaughters people just while walking and not turning his head, it really makes you think about how many people yondu has killed, not just individuals but probably small armies aswell
Originally Yondu was from a primitive tribe of Hunter's who had experienced multiple essentially raids on their planet. Most of them were wiped out by one of the Kree's warrior races. This was in like the comics in the 60's. I don't know if this is considered canon in the MCU and they just never say it but I doubt it. Especially since they messed up the mutants and X-Men. This is before they essentially rewrote all the comics in the 80s and 90s. Yondu was one of the original members of the Guardians alongside Vance Astro. Yondu was basically written off the team when they abandoned a lot of the old plot points.
Star Lord and this iteration of the Guardians only really started in like 2007. Which they essentially became the prime universe Guardians.
2:54 Rockets having more fun being with yondu than starlord
1:47 - 1:54 Is still one of the greatest scenes imo out of all of MCU. Everything from the music, to the whistling, to the bodies falling down, is so masterfully done.

Thanos will be in deep sh1t if Yondu is still alive during that time
@@nicolasivan2320 yeah, no shit.. Like, cap doing his last stand & then there's just a red tail light on thanos army, suddenly all the lil spawn of satan just fall leaving the big gun...
@@nicolasivan2320 Nebula was able to destroy his head thingey before Yondu could whistle. I'm sure Thanos would have faster reflexes than his daughter
@@ronaldrump5058 Not if he can't reach him
I just hope Kraglin mastered controlling that arrow when another big showdown happens.
This might be one of the most underrated weapons in the MCU. Its got to be up there with some of the heavy hitters.
2:41 this moment 😂😂
"Use your heart, boy"
they forgot to lock Groot now he caused Yondu's music video montage
Underrated comment!
coming here after watching vol.3. imo this scene will be always remebered as legendary and there would be no other like this scene
"Use your *heart,* Boy."
Yondu giving Kraglin the Ravager salute is also really great in that scene.
Everyone is a gangstar until Yondu start whistling
2:09 Baby Groot: NEVER PICK ON ME AGAIN 😡
2:13 Baby Groot: Oh that’s right, cause there is no again.
Baby Groot's one and only kill
I like the fact they both went a little crazy at the end, laughing away while shooting lol.
The arrow is my favorite weapon in all of fiction. It's unique, lethal, fast, simple and best of all it's not unbelievable. This weapon seems entirely possible with this level of technology. sure it probably wouldn't have the red streak and would likely look different but how it works would still stay the complete same.
This scene is probably the single most badass scene in the MCU. Yondu's fin is the coolest weapon ive ever seen
James Gunn is an amazing director and filmmaker.......He thinks into the future and also gets us to see the characters in depth and with humor!
Yondu's arrow is right up there with the lightsaber for most disgustingly broken movie weapon.
I always felt bad for the guy who just drinking. Like, let him enjoy a last drink before killing him.
That sounds awesome in theory.... But no.... And here's why....
He doesn’t deserve it after what he did to Baby Groot
I thought it was hilarious lol, its like the arrow missed the first time and was like "wait shit gotta turn around"
He wanted to smash griot with a rock, he doesn’t deserve a last drink
Nah his last drink was his last sip he got what he deserved
James Gunn is a masterpiece maker. Looking closer into this scene brings out so much from the characters including the music. Loved every second
It is very cool. I wish it was written better though; not one man on that entire ship knows how to pull a trigger?
