It’s been nearly a decade since James Gunn brought the Guardians of the Galaxy into the MCU, and arguably changed the direction of the entire cinematic universe. The success of that first movie opened the door for Marvel to explore lesser-known comic book characters and also seemingly gave them the green light to go all-in on comedy beats (for better or for worse.)
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 definitely raises some questions. Like what's Adam Warlock actually doing in this movie? How did they make High Evolutionary so despicable so quickly? Are kids gonna be okay after all that intense animal stuff? Why didn't Star-Lord have his helmet and boots?
To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3!!

That is EXACTLY how Adam Warlock got into this movie and I will never believe it wasn't.
I mean yea, James Gunn himself said it was difficult for him to work him in
Honestly one of my favourite jokes for this movie (probably unintentional) is having Will Poulter be Adam Warlock but basically giving him his We're the Millers role 😂😂
That wasn't Adam Warlock! I'm sorry but good lord. Whatever the hell was in the Thanos Quest/Infinity War/Marvel Cosmic Universe had nothing to do with what I can only describe as Super Mr. Bean in Space after meeting Auric Goldfinger.
They promised!
now let's not be brash
Thanos literally got rid of half of everyone in the universe, but he would never punch a puppy…
Little known fact: He in fact did not dust any puppies, but to balance it out all the kittens disappeared.
@@BagheerathePanther coming from someone who call itself the panther that was very appalling
@@BagheerathePantherHe is a MONSTER!
Also: What about baby wombats? 😳
There's a good reason. He'd have to deal with John Wick.
@@samiraperi467 He sits down with the cage and opens it up to see a little puppy that he can share his sorrow with, only to have it turn to dust within his hands. John Wick -1: I am Inevitable
The way Rocket's first word was "hurt" just broke my heart
sammmmeee 😭
Hurts😭
Ah geez thanks for the reminder... 😭
Lol its a movie. You guys are soft af
😢😢😢😢
The screenwriter’s face at 0:46 when his boss explained that Adam Warlock needed to be in the movie was the exact expression James Gunn made when he remembered that.
yes, that's the joke
Thank you for explaining the joke.
@@Largentina.I can’t believe just a few mins of watching this guy was better than the whole 2 hours of dumpster fire they called GOTG 3! RIGHT BRO? ABSOLUTE TRASH MAAANNNNN!
@truanalain4266 it is? Are you sure? I'm not so sure. Maybe should make sure if we're sure so can happily got to bed knowing they know that's the joke.
@@GabrielAlcala956 did we watch the same movie?
Can't believe Ryan sacrificed one of his sheets of paper for this pitch meeting
Same.
And I can't believe it's not butter.
@@NHTube1 Well yes, if you combine them, they all get worse by being infected by the bloated batmobile tank aspect of the last one.
It's not a sacrfice, it'll now be in every pitch meeting going forward. And you were here for the origin story!
It lives on in the ubiquitous stack...it remembers.
The "developing an instantly hated villain" bit was hilarious! 🤣
I literally instantly replayed it

best line "everyone gets happy endings" "oh!?" 😂😂😂
I have now watched 300+ episodes of Pitch Meetings since I discovered it four days ago. Was it hard?
No, actually. It was super easy, barely an inconvenience. All I had to do was forsake every responsibility in life.
Forsaking ones responsibilities is TIGHT.
How did you not go crazy from his voice? I love Pitch meeting, but can only binge about 8 before I have to turn to something else 😢
Wow Wow Wow Wow
Lol, you nailed it buddy. What really upsets me is all the main catch phrases have been used up by you and others who replied by the time I replied and I feel kinda left out. Well OK then, Fair enough, That works...
@@garyl5128 Look, I'm going to need you to climb all the way off my back about that thing
@@garyl5128I'm gonna need you to get all the off our collective back about that...
Lylla, Floor and Teefs broke my heart more than most MCU deaths, not gonna lie.
I loved them 3000 😭
Yea they really got me with that especially when floor started freaking out when lylla got shot
Same
@@thatblkguy1837 Her sceaming "Rocket Teefs Floor GO NOW" over and over again will haunt my nightmares
Well they’re the only few ones that actually died in the mcu 😅
“Wait present day Rocket doesn’t have any cute little animal friends?”
“Yeah so you can see where these flashbacks are headed”
“Oh no!”
This is literally how we all felt watching those flashbacks😂
Literally every flashback scene had me crying because we all knew exactly where it was headed. So all the bonding and hope just freaking burned my soul.
Guess I'm the only one who thought the animals would escape and we'd see them at the end of the film 🥺...
@@CyranoForever101 I held hope for that too :/
We know the movie was great if that element of the story was predictable, and we still felt it.
Same!
I thought it was really powerful how when Rocket flatlines Starlords pain looks so much like Rockets when Layla is shot. Like, right down to the line of saliva when he screams. It’s shot for shot almost identical
It’s called a parallel.
Recurring themes that resonate emotionally are tight.
it's like poetry
"And then everyone gets happy endings."
"OOHH!!"
"Story wise"
"oh.."
I love you Ryan George
+ “and everybody gets happy endings”
- “Ohh!?😧”
+ “Storywise.”
- “Ohh.”
Nice one😂
Went from 😏 to 😒 _real fast!_ lol
Haha that got me for sure
The Arkham games are crap
The editing on that was perfect
@@EventualWarlord except rocket cant have a happy ending with that😔 At least I hope so💀
Adam Warlock being shoe horned into the movie is exactly what I was expecting Ryan to talk about and he always delivers
Just came out of the film about a half hour ago (naturally I head here first) and yeah, except for the two specific moments he was forced to be involved in, his presence felt bizarrely unnecessary. I don't even remember what happened to the other one he was with. 🤔 A strange tarnish on an otherwise highly polished, terrific film.
(EDIT: That's not to say the actor playing him did anything wrong. He was completely fine with what he was given. Happy to see him return in whatever future thing they do. It's not his fault.)
Seriously he's spooky accurate with these lol all the shit that bothers me he always hits in the pitch meetings
@@TobyDeshane his gold mom lady? she blew up on the animal planet, part of why he sticks around, no where else to go
Probably because they don't want to make a standalone movie for him, but still want to add him to roster for future titles.
@@TobyDeshane honestly for some reason (i know exactly why keyword:James Gunn) I didnt mind Adam Warlocks random scenes of him kind of NO IDEA why he exist. It felt like he should have been in it and I do wish the floating scene of High Evolutionary in the hall from the trailer was of Warlock just going crazy on him but I feel like Gunn kinda was petty and wanted to show of his superman style WITH HIS SUPERMAN :)
Just watched the film today.
Surprised Ryan didn't mention when Quill is about to go meet the High Evolutionary, something like:
"So the guards don't let Nebula in because of her arm being an obvious weapon, and they scan Peter so they can see if he has weapons on him."
"Smart."
"So they let Star Lord and Groot walk in."
"Why don't they scan Groot to see if he has any weapons?"
"Because"
"That'll do for me."
Groot's nekkid. I guess they could have done a cavity search
Why wouldn’t they scan griot too?
Don’t be silly, he’s a tree ya dummy
Literally the first question I asked after that scene lmfao
I'm pretty sure the reason Quill gave Groot the guns was because he knew they wouldn't be detected in a scan
@@spider1266 he tells groot "you know what to do with these". so yeah he knew he was going to put them in a secure spot.
It was incredibly refreshing to have no unnecessary romance in this movie. I would've set the theater on fire, if Peter and Gamora kissed, I swear. It was just perfect - platonic family-like relationships all around. Round of applause for the writers
The fact that they didn't force a relationship and gave Peter the opportunity to move on (or at least start to) is definitely refreshing. I was very annoyed when the opposite happened with Cap. He was also starting to accept Peggy's death and move on and I felt that whatever happened in Endgame was a devolution of his character.
No romance between Rocket and Lylla was also cool. I had a feeling the movie was going in that direction but they remained just friends. Nothing wrong with some romance but these movies don't build it up enough for it to feel organic, so this was refreshing.
so we're just going to ignore the Nebula x Peter moments?
@@TheMeta141 yeah, those were more just jokes about Peter rebounding lol. It was pretty clear there's no way in hell that can happen
@@SkaN2412 hmmm maybe. could be they did it that way to test peoples reaction. positive they go ahead. negative they tell us it's a joke
Absolutely in love with the way Ryan praises the film for not giving in to the temptation to throw Starlord and Gamora back together....the first time pitch guy has a good idea with solid reasoning....Producer guy's not having any of it 😂😂😂
Wouldn't call that praise as much as it is commentary on hollywood's inability to not stereotype hot actors.
The same happens in the first John Wick Pitch Meeting
Yea no kissy kissy around here
In the comics, moondragon or her partner got widowed, then, another variant couple of them came to their universe, and the surviving member got permanently fused with her variant and this new but "same" character fell in love again with her partner/alternate partner. It was one hell of f**kfest, whew!!
@@abubakarmahmood3967 In the comics, Moondragon's romantic life is an ongoing joke. She doesn't exist in the cinematic universe though - Drax's daughter died and only X-Men have mental powers.
Showing Rocket’s origin is...
super traumatic, very heartbreaking.😢
Ya that freaking shattered my soul 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Ow ow ow . . . Ow. 😕🙁😒😭
Not Tight at all! 😢
The movie was impactful and portrayed a meaningful moral message. That is why this movie rocked!
…and was barely an inconvenience. Lol
It's incredible how hilarious these videos still are over 5 years later. Much better than CinemaSins and actually pinpoints issues within movies without being nitpicky and occasionally off topic.
When CinemaSins started being over 8 minutes long I stopped watching.
It's just two different types of comedy. CinemaSins point is to be nitpicky and off topic sometimes. Pitch Meeting is supposed to be succinct and to the point. I love them both, if they were too similar it would make watching them a bit of a chore.
Cinemasins suckss and boring
@@waitselljones8068 CinemaSins often uses their confusing and half baked nitpicks as genuine criticism.
@@waitselljones8068 I stopped watching CinemaSins the moment they start making up flaws that doesn't exist in the movie or nit pick thing that was explained or work well in them.
I love how I can never tell if Ryan liked the movie or not
I think are you can tell he does because they speak positively about James Gunn saying he's doing a good job and it's just what MCU needs and then he leaves for DC LOL
The only time I’ve ever heard him say anything positive is “you’re making it really hard for me to ruin this movie” when talking about John Wick
I think I never had a bigger dose of catharsis on the MCU than seeing Rocket go to town with the High Evolutionary's face
wished this comment had more likes
...same page Dude, imma on same page!
Why didn't The Highet Evolutionary fix his face?
Oh yeah!!! I freaking felt that!!!!
@KJ k My theory is that James Gunn must have wanted it to be that it was his face being peeled off initially, but he couldn’t get away with it.
@@kjk7611 he had more important things to do
I loved the high evolutionary. The actor really went all out on his crazyness and it never felt forced or cliche because of how entertainingly evil he was.
He wasn't just evil, he was *toxic*.
They totally ruined the character. High Evolutionary is a sympathetic character that is powerful enough to fist fight Galactus and hold his own. Writers go out of their way to not make him a stereotypical “mad scientist” and that’s exactly how they portrayed him.
@@diablojones The High Evolutionary has been an antagonist on many occasions. However I think that he went completely nuts a bit too quickly. It didn't make sense that someone so unstable created so much.
@@gentblue he was only unstable when rocket one upped him in his evolutionary quest.
@@diablojones the mcu has been totally independent from the comics for a long time now. If you expected any character to actually be like the comics at this point thats on you
I cried in every flashback scene. And when Rocket freed the little raccoons. And when all the animals were running to the good guys' ship. And when Adam adopted the brown space-dog-bunny.
Animals make me emotional.
Same af, I wanted to cry at just about every flashback even though internally I was aware of how cheap and predictable the whole ploy with adorable animals was "I KNOW what you're doing James Gunn... and it's working 🥲"
Do you eat animals?
I think it's the point that the animals could talk and have human characteristics of children which is why it hits harder.@@jhunt5578
I'm glad you care about animals. So many people keep paying for companies to kill them 😕
Producer guys face when writer guy punches the puppy is the most hilarious bit he’s ever done . I rewinded like 5 times and laughed hysterically each time 😂
I love the bit about the Gurdains not killing the bad guy and then leave him to blow up in his ship and he's like "there it is" lol.
Anything for his return in Avengers sequel because money
Yeah that was all pretty pointless.
Negligent homicide is the best sort of homicide
Basically Batman's "I'm not gonna kill you but I don't have to save you"
@@stevenfriedman2902 nicely said.
"And everyone gets happy endings."
"OOOHH!"
"Story wise"
"oh."
that part had me rolling 😂😂😂
Took me a second there. :D
@@69144016 An early joke in the movie was Drax telling Mantis and Nebula to touch Quill to make him feel better, so that actually fits
I howled! 😂😂
@@69144016 same I scrolled back instantly and then I got it. x'D
I, uh... I actually don't get it?
The "orgolcorp" bit killed me😂
Emotional whiplash is the perfect way to describe this movie's pacing.
That shot at Disney Plus was beautiful. (And way too real)
I'm sure the kids watching that part won't need therapy or anything after see it.
@@NHTube1 what the heck. Spider-Man and Batman have nothing to do with the comment or this video. What are you talking about?
@@NHTube1 But why this video?
@@kotm2021 I didn’t know where else I could say it
@@NHTube1 Discord server? Or a Arkham Batman video?
It was strangely refreshing to see Producer Guy show so much genuine emotion, even if it was anger. 🤣
His rant made me think of Cave Johnsons rant on lemons hahaha!
He was legitimately scary. 😨
He likes money. But he don't wanna punch puppies
I mean it is James gunn..who git fired and brought back. I understand. And if he takes the Russo bros. Game over MCU. Imagine the Russos making a Gotham villain movie or Gunn doing a proper build up to the justice league. Mcu is fucked...they have spiderman.
Emotion is tight!
I watched the movie at the cinema on Tuesday. On Friday, I was at work on my break, started thinking of Rocket's first words, and very nearly started crying. I was reading the sport pages of the newspaper.
You know a movie is great when it sticks with you like that. When it still affects you when you think of it later.
I still get goosebumps just thinking about the charge of the Rohirrim in Lord of the Rings, for example, and I can't help but smile remembering the Catradora kiss in She-Ra.
She-Ra?! Which episode?
@@kjk7611 The Heart Part 2, the final episode, is when they kiss.
His first words haunt me. TT_____TT
@@Pro_Butcher_Amateur_Human Thk you.
Well said!
3:07 should of said son of a Gunn
that would make him Screenwriter Guy Gunn and also Producer Guy Gunn since they are brothers
Producer Guy's cold fury over the dog is probably the most terrifying moment in Pitch Meetings history
Ya canna feel those John Wick vapors rising and wafting...it was the first downward eye drifting pinch that unleased the scent of gunpowder n brimstone upon such cool silent sea breeze.
I will set you mailbox on fire and then ... and then set a nuke off on your house while you check the mailbox.
I was expecting Writer Guy to flash the puppy picture again and snap Producer Guy back to “Aww puppies!”🥹
2:48 damn, that's such a satisfying reaction 😂😂
That’s how I felt when Agatha revealed she killed Sparky
The running gag that the writer just genuinely does not care is probably my favourite one.
I think, "hey shut up" is definitely up there
@@skippy9273 "heyyshuddup!" is the fn best 👌 no question.
gagging is tight!
that running gag is based closely on the actual fact
I am waiting for Secret Invasion pitch because there’s a lot of things that could be comically exploited
Your pitch meeting didn't make me cry Ryan, but the movie nearly did, holy shit
Producer Guy's reaction to the I Am Groot series thing was my exact reaction. I've never heard of that.
Same
It was a pretty poor show. You didn't miss much.
Same my face was literally 😳 emoji
I only found out about it minutes ago. On this video!
@@Rich_H_1972 it was just supposed to be a series of moments of baby groot. It wasn't supposed to be a masterpiece. Calm down
It is pretty funny that James Gunn actually did say Star-Lord was so focused on saving Rocket that he left Knowhere without grabbing his helmet. It is honestly kind of in character, especially when you factor in that he had been binge-drinking. Star-Lord is already an impulsive guy, the hangover + Rocket in jeopardy probably made him react hastily
“Wow wow wow wow, Wow!”
You know, something that feels like a plot hole suddenly makes a lot of sense actually. I can dig it.
We didn't get to see the scene when he woke up and hauled his drunk a** into the ongoing fight, so it's a reasonable off screen event.
...but we all know it's the mess of having too many movies using the same characters, written by too many different ppl.
After watching his adopted father die in the vacuum of space right in front of him, Quill not keeping the helmet on him at all times is idiotic at best. Also seeing how the thing basically disappears when not in use…
@@diablojones In Gunn’s defense, Quill’s helmet was technically destroyed. I think we only see him use it again in Infinity War and Endgame because he wasn’t in charge of those. I could be mistaken but I think he’s said as much.
YOU KNOW WHAT I DID CRY! Because it reminded me of how many tears I shed watching this movie. Poor poor Rocket and his little friends. And all the emotional bits with the rest of the Guardians. I CRIED
The way Rocket's voice sounded when he said "hurtss", his scream over Lyla, Quill's scream over Rocket, the afterlife scene, this movie was emotional terrorism and it was just done so fucking well. Endgame made me sad but this was making me tear up thinking about those scenes weeks later. It was so good but I honestly don't know if I'll watch it a second time because of all of that.
The face Producer guy makes on the puppy bit 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣priceless, I've never seen Ryan make such a face since all of his characters are almost always so cheerful 💀
Well it's a variation of his murdered puppy face from the first john Wick pitch meeting, we will probably see it again for the next mistreated puppy or kitty.
Legends say that it is more acting than all of Brie Larson's acting in Captain Marvel. Throw in all her other appearances in the MCU for extra credit.
Did you watch the John Wick pitch meeting? Producer guy did not have a cheerful face when he found out that the dog died.
Ques you havent met Ryan george Jr yet..
@@bas9752 I have he is the stuff of Nightmares
I love that “I just don’t... I don’t care” made a comeback, the Super Mario Bros pitch meeting was hilarious 😂
that’s probably like a top 5 pitch meeting, one of the funniest for sure
"See the thing is, like, we can do whatever we want -no, we can; There's MAGIC - I just -I DON'T CARE"
1:31 in case anyone was wondering
Wanted to make exactly the same comment!
This is up there with the pirate of the Caribbean pitch meeting, where he's like "there's boats and magic and pirates and I don't even care anymore" lmao
It's fun to see new movies get pitch meetings but I do wish there were more older movies that would get them again like before.
I’m surprised there was no mention of the Guardians Holiday Special that no one saw which revealed some of the things that this movie just assumed the audience knew about already (Mantis and Quill being siblings; the dog’s being part of the team and having telekinesis; the Guardians buying Knowhere). Admittedly, one of the biggest flaws about this movie (which I loved) is that it assumed the audience remembered all of the previous plot threads (Gamora being a past version of the version in previous movies; Quill having celestial DNA and thus being able to survive his…death in space; Adam being revealed in a postcredit scene; the dog; what the heck Knowhere is and how it came to be the Guardians’ HQ; those tentacle beasts Mantis befriends; etc).
And is there actually a mini series about Groot? XD
Pretty sure Mantis tells Drax Quill is her brother in Guardians 2.
I mean some of those things, Quill being half Celestial were in the previous films and pretty important so it's not too crazy for the audience to remember that
The Groot shorts are pretty good.
thank you!
I figured Quill and Mantis must be siblings because she'd been created by his Dad too, but it took a sec when they said it in the film as I hadn't thought about it before; I'd forgotten that he was a semi-celestial being which would explain surviving space; knowhere seemed familiar though I couldn't remember from where. But the dog absolutely confused me where she came from!! So thanks! I must check out the holiday special :)
@@jadetteom Cosmo (the dog) was in the first Guardians of the Galaxy film, as part of The Collector's collection in Knowhere.
Thank you for pointing out that Star-Lord just not having his jet boots or helmet for the entire movie was so random lol. I was so angry when THAT was how he almost died
Maybe not the jetboots, but his helmet was destroyed during Vol2. I mean it's central to Yondu's sacrifice.
The Russos brought the helmet back for IW with no explanation (other than cool factor, I'ld say).
True, having him not get a new one from wherever seems kind of odd, he literally almost died because he didn't have, and his daddy Mary Poppins sacrificed himself to save him. But then again, why does no one else have one, then? It's similar to the Iron Man argument: If he could make so many suits, and even let Rhodey keep one and built Spiderman a whole nanotech suit, why didn't he make suits for AT LEAST his non-superpowered friends and allies?
Because it would lower every stake possible, simply put.
I’m pretty sure his helmet was seen sentient and floating around with the ravagers lol
@@SeventeenGhosthe had both the helmet and rocket boots in endgame
@@SeventeenGhostthe problem is when you have the protag have a near death experience and the repeat it it STILL lowers the impact. When I saw Peter drifting in space I just felt numb. "Are they really doing this for the third time in as many movies?" I thought. Ooh, they deformed his face a bit to make it look more menacing, I just got grossed out by it. It's pretty telling that the only way they can invoke an emotional response is to resort to body horror 😑
Good job Disney, a wild scene that was originally dramatic and beautiful has now been run into the ground like everything else you own 👍
I was so sure he was gonna die a joke in that moment
Ryan, you have absolutely perfected the delivery of the "I don't care!" line, kills me every time.
Yeah he’s gotten better at it. 😊
I think he already knocked it out of the park in the original Super Mario pitch.
it doesn---there's magic, it do---I don---I DON'T care
"There is no God. That's why I stepped in!" is such a great villain line. If James Gunn can bring that type of character out in the DCU then I'm onboard.
I am crying. Ive been combing the net looking for something Sneeze related but not so much as a teaser out there. I'll even grow a mustache for the premiere
I love the fact that Screenwriter Guy had to give Producer Guy a demonstration of the "villain who kills puppies" technique, because you'd think after the success of John Wick that would no longer be necessary, but here we are.
_TVTropes_ refers to this as 'Kicking the Dog.' By contrast, an ostensibly evil character shows they aren't all bad by 'Petting the Dog.'
"Are we doing a John Wick here?"
"We're doing a John Wick sir!"
"Nice"
@@stormtempterf8058 "A-MAZING!"
That segment is a reference to Chukwudi Iwuji actually receiving death threats and other hate mail for his very convincing performance. Our society truly needs a High Evolutionary to fix our inept brains.
That was Lionsgate's screenwriter guy and producer guy. This is Disney's screenwriter guy and producer guy. Do all Ryans look the same to you?
Isn’t Gamora’s “return” made pretty obvious in Endgame?
It's like no one remembers...
I had no recollection of it and was very confused when I saw guardians today in theaters
not at all. they literally end with quill trying to scan the galaxy for her....
I guess I just thought that it was obvious that she didn’t get dusted by Tony’s snap. And since this Gamora is from an alternate timeline branching in the past, she has no affiliation with any of them. This version is different from the version that died that’s why she wasn’t Quills scanner. The one who he was scanning for was dead. It makes sense if you don’t think about it haha
Oh whoops
It blows my mind that people think this was a good movie. It was so painfully heavy-handed in the way it tried to sway your emotions that I felt embarrassed for Gunn. But, apparently, movie quality has gone down so much that the majority of us are happy to put up with it now and actually think it's good storytelling. Bonkers. It's good to have friends!
THANK YOU. I thought I was going insane, I sat in the theatre and the insane prices they charge now was the only thing preventing me from leaving because this was just so damn bad. And then everyone are defending it and trying to make off brand plague dogs into a masterpiece.
@@FuzzyKittenBoots L opinion
L opinion, the movie is great
Bro thinks he has the most prestigious movie opinions.
Gamora and Quill were Marvel’s Jim and Pam. Now there’s a giant hole in my soul and I’ll never be happy again 😭
"That's just an expression. His butt is indifferent to this whole story."
This is the content I subscribe for.
Butt content is tight!
@@KofC83 wow wow wow…. Wow
Producer Guy and Drax would probably get along great.
@@KofC83 Time for some laxative.
The punching a puppy bit cracked me up. That was comedy gold with Executive Guy's reaction.
Itwas thu only suitable and valid reaction
He sounded like he was morphing into an angry Chris Pratt.
I think the main reason Adam Warlock was at the end of GotG2 is because he's a major player in the comic book version of Infinity War. And then they didn't end up using him in that. So now he's a GotG character.
4:30 basically how it really felt
My gosh, you NEVER miss any time Producer Guy breaks his usual demeanor. It's rare enough to catch us off guard and always genuinely hilarious and so well acted!
Watch John Wick's pitch meeting. Similar reaction.
@NukeMarine Already watched that ages ago, and am now waiting very excitedly for his John Wick 4 pitch meeting!
“Yeah! Maybe he forgot his helmet and boots at home because he was in such a rush!”
Still incredible James Gunn actually said that on a tweet, which makes it even more hilarious to be in the Pitch Meeting
That felt, much like the elevator recap, like thinly veiled disdain for what happened with these characters in Infinity War and Endgame. Quill's lack of helmet and boots would make sense coming direct from GotG2 tho - since they were lost on Ego. And the Bowie replaces the destroyed Milano. I genuinely think the Benatar and Quill's equipment aren't here because their appearance in the Avengers and Thor 4 didn't count, lol
It still is a ridiculous justification even when coming from Director. It’s a like forgetting diving gear if hero is supposed to explore the Atlantis !
Dude watched his dad die in space and doesn’t always carry around the helmet that basically turns invisible when he’s not using it. Makes total sense.
@@diablojones Dude was in the middle of a drunken bender when the adventure started, with no plans TO go to space. Are you complaining that somebody who was "collapses onto the ground without support" drunk not even 10 minutes prior wasn't making fully rational decisions?
And if your dad died in a motorcycle accident, would you just be carrying around your motorcycle helmet everywhere you went, even at home?
If my home was in the back of a trailer always moving on the high way, and I was prone to being attacked in said trailer, and it disappeared into a small jewelry like objcet when not in use, I just might.
Because that's basically how he lived most of his life (depending how Knowhere maintains atmosphere). One equipment failure away from the vacuum of space, with PPE that disappears into basically nothing when not in use.
2:45 this bit had me in stitches 😂😂
I don't think "we promised" served as motivation for any corporation in the last 30 years. I love you, Ryan.
Unironically, this showcases some of Ryan George's best acting. His fury over Scriptwriter Guy punching the dog picture was genuinely scary 😂
Presumably he just channeled how he felt watching the movie.
@@ravenshrike Or he could just be decent at acting mad.
@@williamkrause5585 You must be a riot at parties.
The breaking dawn pitch meeting deserves a best actor award. Just… chefs kiss.
Yeah, this episode felt very different. I really liked it.
I LITERALLY said at the end of the movie, "Thank God, I thought everyone was going to die, but this was a happy ending. I needed this." 😂
That was my feeling. I was waiting for the shoe to drop all movie. Who would it be? Rocket or Star Lord? It seemed likely to be one of them but then the movie just wrapped up with everyone alive. And I really needed that.
@@Flaris Florence and the Machine helped, too.
😊
Sometimes it’s nice to just have a happy ending, sometimes it’s nice to have the heros be happy, especially after everything
it's just like Agents of SHIELD ending lol. You think many of them, at least SOMEBODY is gonna die in the end, even the main character gets almost frozen in space but in the last moment they get saved by somebody and all of the main characters go their separate ways.
Gamora's presence is pretty well explained. When past Thanos comes back in Endgame for the finale, he brings Gamora with him to fight on his side. Just like the Thanos who completed the snap is dead, so is the Gamora who was sacrificed for the Soul Stone. The Thanos and Gamora in Endgame predate those events. She doesn't not remember those years; she did no live those years at all. The Guardians just talk about it like it's memory loss as a coping mechanism.
Gunn's choice to have her return to the ravagers was a really emotionally mature call to make and it kept a story with consequences.
I liked this movie, it's the first MCU movie in ages to have some dramatic or emotional moments and not undermine every single one with attempts at humor.
Did y'all catch James Gunn actually responding about the helmet thing? He basically said what Ryan basically said -- Quill left his helmet in his desk drawer.
Totally relatable. I've lost count of times I wandered through ER waiting rooms and lobbies trying to borrow a charger because I had left in such a hurry to take someone to the hospital and wouldn't care to see if my phone had enough charge until much later.
I mean the helmet was destroyed in the fight with Ego. The Russos did nothing to explain why Quill had it again in Infinity War and Endgame and now Gunn is getting all the hate for not explaining why Quill doesn't have it.
It was barely an inconvenience
@@johnofthenorth6653 Guardians Vol 2 takes place in 2014 and Infinity War takes place in 2018 so he had 4 years to pick up/make a new one. It's not unthinkable that he forgot it but still feels like lazy writing since it literally takes up no space once he has the storage bit on.
@@johnofthenorth6653Why would him having it again need to be explained when one of his closest friends/teammates is a tech genius...
The "princess is in another castle" bit was clever 🤣
Quill's helmet thing was smashed during his fight with Ego in GotG vol. 2. The Russo's ignored that for Infinity War and Endgame, but Gunn said it happened, so he no longer had it in Vol. 3.
He couldn't get a new one?
The way they made you keep hating the High Evolutionary was genius. Every time he gets worse and worse. You know he experimented on the animals, he mistreated them, abused them.
And then the guardians watch the footage of the surgery and rocket was awake and screaming to quote another great film "Flames... Flames... on the side of my head"
The irony is there we’re probably people in the theatre eating hotdogs from factory farmed and gas chambered pigs hating on the high evolutionary for animal cruelty
now replace the high evolutionary with the man of the soyence, aka dr fauci..... same person....
Rocket's first words been "It hurts" is... Painful.
"hurts"
Can we just appreciate Ryan’s movie knowledge
wdym
If he didn't have a knowledge of it, it would be money thrown away! He studied filmography.
No
Who is this "Ryan" you speak of? This video starred Screenwriter Guy and Producer Guy.
I cried so many times during this movie and it wasn't always out of sadness.
Lmao
I never expected to cry so much during a Marvel movie and especially a Guardians movie.
And yet you probably pay for animals to be factory farmed and slaughtered whilst caring about cgi ones.
@kacparrr3493 So paying someone money, to factory farm animals, where they are forcibly impregnated, mutilated without anesthetic beaks, horns, tails, testicals, the ends of their teeth cut off, where animals are put in cages, in chains, crammed into sheds living above their own excrement, many of them never seeing the sky, transported to slaughter on trucks for hours on end crammed in without water, sometimes in extreme cold or heat, where animals are slaughtered by being trapped in a knock box and having their skull crushed in by a bolt hammer, or by being electrocuted, or put into a gas chamber, or by them having their throat slit open fully conscious... that isn't torture?
Huge props to the VFX team behind Rocket. Every aspect of him was spot on. The way he looks older, and acts it. When he walks at the start, he walks like a 37 year old man who's knees ache and joints popped when he stood up. He moves slower than he ever has before, he's not the frenetic bundle of energy he was before. And that realism was reinforced by the lifelike CGI work, I would believe you if you told me they genetically modified a raccoon and he was actually a real thing on set, not a CGI creation.
That really helped sell his traumatic history, made it hit even harder. Incredible work. Apparantly James Gunn doesn't really do reshoots and pick ups, and he storyboards everything, so the VFX team know day 1 everything they have to make. They don't have to crunch to get stuff done on a deadline, and it shows.
Best VFX and design in Marvel is in the Guardians movies, and I will die on that hill.
Will they ever get an Oscar for it? They are 0-2.
Rocket walks like a 37 year old man who’s knees ache and joints popped? What are you… 12??? I mean… besides 300kg Americans, 37 is not ‘old’ or an age where knees hurt. Rocket aged in dogs years, 37x7? Kids these days… pfff
@@jeroengsm well considering it has been confirmed rocket is indeed a raccoon, he should have died 34 years ago if he’s 37.
Also the High Evolutionary was even surprised he was alive.
Oh, the age you picked hurts and yet it is so correct. I turned 38 last week and man do I feel tired and my knees ache!
@@joshhardy5646 I looked it up out of curiosity and raccoons in captivity can live up to 20 years with an average of 10-15.
Why does Ryan sound EXACTLY like Chris Pratt at 3:00??
I was thinking the same thing
OMG I just re-watched it and you're totally right.
No fr though
Everybody gets happy endings…..story wise. Took me 3 seconds but I laughed hysterically. 😂😂😂
Well, the movie opens with the Guardians petitioning Mantis to touch Peter to make him feel good, so this seemed like the inevitable climax to the story.
Pun intended.
I don't get the joke
Drax actually carried the High Evolutionary out of the exploding ship
2:49
Ryan has really been more expressive and fantastic at his acting ever since he's been taking his breaks for Pitch Meeting. He had some good facial acting too in Shazam Fury of the Gods at those parts mentioning The Rock.
Really polishing his art and continuing to improve, making things fresh for this series. I really admire him for it.
Lel, he always acted great. Ever since he got the smiling disease 3 years back
Hundreth like
That was the look of pure hatred
He sounds like Chris Pratt here
A missed opportunity that Adam Warlock didn't shockingly find out that the Guardians are getting paid
One other thing that would have made it absolute perfection for me would be to have one of the animals the the Evolutionary tries to mutate be a wolverine. Just as a sneaky little reference to what Wolverine of the X-Men's origina was originally going to be. 🙂
@Paul Gibbon That would require time travel since wolverine was born in the 1800s.
@@paulgibbon5991 dude, I like that idea! Have a wolverine (animal) and have it be similar to Rocket's scenario, able to walk upright like a biped, talk, and wear and outfit similar to or inspired by
Logan/Wolverine!
Maybe one day still !?! 😊
@@StdDev99 That was locked in quite a bit later (with the "Origin" series around 2002). I'm talking about the original mooted plan for the character, after his very early appearances as an antagonist for the Hulk.
@@StdDev99 Only if you're being accurate to the comics.
I was shocked by how much this movie actually made me legitimately cry. Definitely one of the best MCU movies to come out in recent memory.
I think this is the most positive Pitch Meeting I’ve ever seen. TBH I’d forgotten about Star Lord’s mask so that hole didn’t bother me so much as his ability to not die after that much damage. The “let’s not kill the evil overlord” thing did bug me at the time.
He's half-Celestial; remember, he could hold the Stone that even Ronan couldn't hold without using a sledgehammer to hold it. So he can take more damage than you and I because he's only half-human.
@@pettyofficerdan1807 I thought they established that killing Ego removed his Celestial powers?
They have magic healing belts that just fix you. The mostly superficial tissue damage he sustained shouldn't be a problem, as long as he didn't die yet.
About the mask, Ego destroyed it in the second movie and James Gunn wanted to stay destroyed for the symbolism, but the Russo brothers brought the mask back for endgame so they had to write that dumb description of why he didn’t have it in this movie
The High Evolutionary almost makes you forget about Kang completely..Very well done!
GotG3 felt like it was set in a completely separate universe than the Phase 4 Multiverse nonsense. So refreshing to watch a fun action-packed adventure that tells a compelling story and is so well directed. I was excited for this movie and it delivered. I have absolutely zero care for the main MCU storyline.
Honestly he's probably the best genuine villain they have made. He's simple but his evil is understandable and not just there for the sake of it.
@@BluishGnome you nailed it!!!
@@BluishGnome you forgot half of the entire phase 4 projects have absolutely nothing related to anything multiverse and many of them were well directed as well ?MOM ?Eternals was very well directed ,Shang Chi ?Wakanda Forever ?Try harder dipshit !LOL
@@BluishGnome I mean the last Spider Man movie shows that you can make a multiverse movie that connects with audiences. It just feels like an unnecessary uphill battle to build a whole series of movies on a gimmick that can be interesting but that's hard to do well.
It's been a while since a Marvel movie made me feel emotions other than humour. I knew Rocket's comic backstory, and I played the Guardians game so I know the traumatic version that used. So I was expecting it to be rough.
I think it's partly how insanely good the CGI of Rocket is, he actually looks real. And Bradley Cooper sold the hell out of his voice performance. As did Linda Cardellini as Lylla.
I cried three times. Rocket's first words. Lylla, Floor and Teefs deaths. And the conversation where they gave themselves names - I missed part of the next scene because I was collecting myself. It wasn't the sexy Single Man Tear, they broke me.
Do you remember when we thought Guardians would be the fun campy space adventure series when it was first announced? And then the first opened with a traumatic death from cancer, the second ended with Yondu's funeral, and then almost every Rocket scene in the third.
First of all, I love the “sexy single man tear” term. Secondly, I’m the type of person to cry at a video of a flea ridden rescued kitten being washed, so I fear the Rocket scenes in GOTG3 may completely destroy my soul. This will probably not be helped by the fact that baby Rocket looks quite similar to my cats when they were younger, and I would KILL AND DIE for those fluffballs so even the thought of someone hurting them makes me sad.
Did you miss Wakanda Forever?
I streamed tears during the afterlife scene, too. And yeah, my heart broke when the tiny voice said, "...hurts..."
@@kpopnimation I found it a significantly worse film than the first. It wasn't the film's fault, they did about the best they could in the circumstances.
But Letitia Wright was, IMHO, the only one of the main cast who couldn't carry the main role.
If Angela Bassett or Winston Duke had been the lead, I think I could have loved the movie. However, I also found the plot a bit meandering at times, and the villain underwhelming. It had lots of positive aspects, and I loved the way it tackled the grief surrounding T'challa. But overall I found it good, not great.
It never managed to punch me in the heart like Guardians 3 did. Although that may be affected by me having already cried over Chadwick.
The way Floor talks reminded me of my daughter. I've never had to hold back screaming in a theater before.
"Rocket Teefs Floor go now!!" will be burned into my skull forever
I actually like the fact that they had just a straight up evil bad guy with no “ wrong thing for the right reasons” moment.
And yes, emotional whiplash is a great way to describe it lol😂 but I feel like it really worked! After all of the flops and disappointments of the last couple of years, I was really impressed with the guardians of the galaxy.
I kinda forgot quill didnt have his signature helmet in the movie. Kinda bummed we didnt see that now
0:42 the moment of pause and censored "ah shit" is priceless, Ryan's comedic timing is on point
😂
He said it himself, part of his comedy is swearing at unexpected moments and bleeping it out since the swear word in itself isn’t funny.
Ok
It’s you again
I don’t know about everyone else, this is actually one of my favorites of the whole MCU
How trash r u
The sky is blue and it goes on forever I dare you not to cry
This is quite interesting; as for me it was one of the worst - almost every scene felt flat, every story beat lost in the noise and jokes were mostly unfunny. Interesting; because internet consensus is that this movie is one of the best from MCU.
Either way, I've only liked Shang-chi and Spider-Man 3; yet to watch Quantummania and Widow. Every other film was a disaster for me. Welp.
@@Venthewow who hurt you bro - who hurt you.
@@DianoiaNoesis hasnt disney came out admitting that phase 4 was bad cause it didnt make as huge sales numbers as the earlier phases?
They didn’t leave the High Evolutionary behind, Drax carries him off the ship at the end 🤷🏻♂️
"But then they find out that the princess is in another castle!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
4:10
"Anyway, they leave him for dead in his exploding ship"
"I won't kill you... but I don't have to save you"
Yeah, when I watched that part, that means they left him for dead although didn't kill him directly 😂
Now James Gunn confirmed that the high evolutionary is alive, drax carries him out of the ship and he is now living in knowhere.
2:49
Ryan's acting skills in full display there. You're facial expressions are just glorious to watch
Screenwriter Guy: and then at the end i'm going to have Quill almost die from exposure to space.
Producer Guy: didn't you do that in Guardians 1 AND 2?
Screenwriter Guy: look sir it's crucial to my artistic vision to nearly have Chris Pratt die from exposure to space.
Producer Guy: don't you mean Peter Quill?
Screenwriter Guy: that's what i said.
The reason why everyone felt so angered by the High Evolutionary and the abuse towards the Animal Cast. Is because the majority of those Characters were innocent, childlike (they can also be on par with puppies). Killing anything you feel like you’ve raised can always be the hardest thing you can endure.
Expecting Mothers cry when they lose a child before they’re born. Children cry when they see their favorite pet is sick and is unable to be saved.
It’s an emotional punch to the heart, and I love how James Gunn handled that.
The whole bit about shoving Adam Warlock into the story really lands when you know James Gunn said that was the hardest part to write! Still think he did a decent job of integrating him overall, and even his rescue of Star-Lord worked in a nice closed loop.
Think about it: Quill was saved by Adam because Adam was saved by Groot, who did so because he believes in second chances, which he learned from having Quill as his dad. It all adds up!
Groot never saw Quill as a dad. He saw Rocket as his father. When Groot gets dusted he calls Rocket Dad.
❤
@@TheYankeesUnited Groot essentially had all the Guardians as his parents/guardians (ha, pun). Guardians 2 ends with Quill listening to "Father and Son" before taking Baby Groot in his arms, finally accepting his responsibility to him. Whether Groot thought of him as "Dad" or not, Quill raised him just as much as Rocket did.
@@TheYankeesUnited Peter trained Groot with his blasters. Just like Yondu trained with Peter in vol2 flashback. Peter is father to Groot as much as Rocket is.
And none of the movie happens if Adam didn’t hurt Rocket in the beginning
Producerman literally drunk with rage for a good 60 seconds was pure bliss.
His eyes rolled back in his head hahaha
That is exactly how Adam made it into the film, and I refuse to believe otherwise. No other reasoning makes sense. I completely forgot about him. After he appeared, I went to CZcams and rewatched the post-credit scene of the second movie because I couldn’t remember a connection
"but then they find out the princess is in another castle"
BRO, I swear the first time you said it I thought of bowser and then you gave a reference. CLASSIC.
I love that Ryan George has gotten so good at these that even good movies have hilarious Pitch Meetings, you'd expect that the worse the movie is the funnier the Meeting, but he's refined it in such a way that they're all top-notch
Who said this was a good movie?
@@dan_hitchman007 I did 🗿
it was'nt
@@dan_hitchman007 It was a fantastic movie
@@MrMozzarella Yes it was, it was incredible.
“Emotional whiplash”
You literally couldn’t describe this movie better, I laughed, I cried, then laughed like 30 seconds later
I dunno, I really dug how Adam Warlock so so frigging powerful, but without skills to do much with it. He was also an interesting loose cannon to be tossed into situations. My only complaint about the movie was the screaming at eachother so much for no reason at times.
"Dax and Nebula are going to be almost certainly fatally shot at OrgoCorp, literally Dax is is shot front and back, and Nebula is shot and bleeding on the floor!"
"Oh, sounds like they need to get to a med-bay or they're definitely dead o.O"
"No it's alright, they show up in the next scene walking and talking with new clothes, right as rain, barely an inconvenience !"
