the first four characters for the Nowhere coordinates are M21, then, a lower case "L" or uppercase "i". it's not two numerical ones. . . M21I or M21I, not M211
Warlock being thrown into the Guardians sign is just beautiful. he literally just BROKE the guardians with his body, all pun intended 😮

One of the saddest parts was realizing that Rocket’s first family was not the guardians… It was Lylla, Teefs, and Floor
MCU owes us a What-If episode where they all survived.
@@jejenner123 and they become the guardians
@@jejenner123 YES!!!!
🥺
It also explains why he was always pushing others away up until Vol. 2: he was afraid of going through the pain of losing a family again.
the scene where Rocket found all those baby racoons had me bawling like a baby...
Me too 😢
It was so wholesome.
Same
HARD ASS SAAAAAME
So many scenes had me crying 😢
Rocket's scream for his dead friends was agonising. You can feel the sheer loss he felt in that scene.
It made the hairs on my arms stand up 😭
That scene was ruined for me by a bunch of giggling teenage girls who can’t take anything serious.
@@anfo7387 I'm glad cinemas in my country will just kick out people doing stuff like that
@@anfo7387 Best to watch a few weeks after release when hype has died down or just watch at home.
Even worse, was THE mocking him and saying that he won the crying war"
This was by far the most emotional marvel movie I’ve seen yet. It’s refreshing marvel actually released something this fantastic again
to be honest I don't think any Marvel movie is truly terrible. Thor Love and Thunder might be the worst one but still not awful.
Marvel to me is like pizza. No matter how “bad” it is, it’s still pretty good
@@kristinewilson5353
Facts
yes definitely my favourite marvel movie besides volume 1 because i watched that movie with my dad 10 years ago
well you can't really just say Marvel... Movies are made or broken by directors and the cast. Marvel Studio has some input for sure but you need a solid director, writers, and cast. And a solid plot otherwise things will be shitty.
I loved the analogy of Peter saying “it’s a face-off” and they literally take off the high evolutionary’s face 😂
Nice catch. It reminded me of Peter's "dance off" in the first movie
Metaphor!
Sounds like a breaking bad reference
Breaking Bad be like
That's a metaphor
The scene where chris pratt refuses to give up on saving rocket after he flatlines, that was probably the most powerful scene I’ve seen pratt perform. Perfect execution.
Literally reminded me of Denzel
Chris pratt performance in this movie is way better than any actors in MCU
@IamNinjaOfNinja they all had their moments. Mantis and nebula each had insane character development
My favorite character: Chris Pratt
@@IamNinjaOfNinja yeah, sure better than RDJ
I didn't even put together the fact that Groot suddenly said something other than "I am Groot" was because the audience was also starting to understand him. That is phenomenal.
They should have a running joke where Groot speaks English to the audience but everyone else character wise hears “I am Groot”
@@TvB0nYT damn now I’m gonna be mad if they don’t do this 😂
It's more about connecting. When beings become familiars or family with the species they begin to understand like a telepathic link to Groot.
I loved how Adam fitted right in with the guardians. He has the personality. He's a guardian of the galaxy.
I’m glad that they did Drax justice in this film. He still has his silly moments here and there, but he’s badass in this film
Drax and mantis lowkey carried the third act of the movie. I am gonna miss Dave Bautista as Drax
@@yuvrajsinghpanjeta9444 I think he’ll be back. I was convinced that they was going to kill Drax off in this film before I watched it, but I’m glad they didn’t. Dave might return if he’s given a good script or sees that the character will be taken in a different direction
@@joshuaw9675 Im glad they didn’t go the traditional route when a actor wants to leave which is “killing them off” it was a really good ending
Kevin so playful he probably tell to dave bastista to quit as drax but his not.
it was the same stupid but fun character from the first two movies
Also noticing that Nebula is wearing a green suit while Gamora wears a blue one. Almost symbolizing their roles have been switched in the Guardians.
!!!!!!!
Same
I can't believe how much of a character arc nebula had, it's insane
Even Erik couldn’t keep their names straight throughout this video 😂
@@yuanchyi lol I'm in the comments to see if anyone else noticed... Is it intentional?
When Groot speaks honestly I think only people who know him can understand what he is saying... when he says " I love you guys," I think he still said 'I am Groot' but we the audience are now close enough to him to understand.
Love this perspective
by far one of the most emotional MCU movie so far. Theres is something really organic about these characters; the richness of each character and how they interact with each other truly feels like the portrayal of the ultimate space family.
Hearing Rocket’s first words being “hurts” almost brought me to tears. That doesn’t happen often in movie theaters, hasn’t happened since Interstellar. That on top of seeing how comforting Lylla, Floor, and Teefs were for him and how quickly you were enamored with their family dynamic. How they turned a horrible situation into an enjoyable one for a time. One of the most adorable things I’ve seen in a film.
And that scene with him on the brink of death. Reuniting with his friends. The talk he had with Lylla. I don’t know if there’s been a more touching scene in an MCU movie. That definitely drug a tear or two out of me.
We are the same 🥲🥲🥲. Such good scenes my friend
I couldn’t help myself both scenes had me in tears. Poor rocket
Rocket is the best. What makes it harder is when I adopted my kitty, she looked just like baby Rocket. My heart melted.
That scene triggered me so badly I almost could not continue the movie. 😥
granted we've seen something like that before in Deadpool 2, but good god i didn't think CGI antropomorphic animals would make me cry.
Sometime the most funniest character can make you most cry. Rocket standing infront of those Racoon babies realising what hes been denying all his life is one of the most emotional scene in whole marvel franchise.
When lyla died in front of rocket and he was screaming in agony i started to cry, was holding it in till that scene
@@notsmii7y that scene hurt my soul :(
@@jeromez3427 I bawled like a baby
I loved in that moment we more or less learn that Rocket and Quill are both from Earth
What I really liked about Quill not being able to drive well is the fact that the car he was driving was likely a manual transmission (you can tell by the engine reving and the rocking before he got going (it's very familiar if you had to learn to drive stick because it happens for most people))
Yeah I related to that so hard. I wish there had been a scene of him stalling at a stoplight on a hill rolling backwards into a car of rat people behind him.
Yet DRAX hops on a dirt bike and everyone looked at me WEIRD for saying HOW?!?! Guess its part of the nebula being an ahole joke and not ASKING....
@@TheBatman514 it may be because, for whatever reason, the "bike" design seems to be universal in sci-fi whereas you'll never find a stick shift on another planet (unless it has some form of earth influence)
@@dylankoch1757 this entire movie was well thought out... and then this..... idk. My vote is he learned it during the Xmas special
Actually, as someone old enough to have grown up with those cars in the late 70s/early 80s there were barely any manual transmission cars outside of 4X4s and sports cars. Manual transmissions didn't return to popularity until late 80s/early 90s with the Japanese sports car craze. More likely, he pulled the automatic shifter all the way to "1" and was trying to figure out the press gas/release brake combo to get moving. If it were a stick shift he would have stalled the second he released the brake.
When Rocket finds all the baby raccoons and they walk up to him all timid I wanted to cry such a heart warming scene
I cried
" You weren't born to be a Destroyer. You were born to be a dad. " Whole theater choked up and us dads had to look away for a sec. 😢
Only the uneducated/delusional marvel fans will defend Mickey Mouse’s garbage🤣💀
The most frustrating part of the whole movie is how they kept referencing Drax's daughter and him being a dad but they never actually brought Heather into the MCU. Then they introduced Phyla. Multi-career professional screw up Phyla! But not Drax's daughter-the telepath bound to an astral moon demon and thus capable of turning into a giant space dragon. Guardians without Moondragon and Drax together ever just hurts.
My kids immediately got pictured in my head and the tears came
I took a deep breath and glanced over to my daughter ❤️😭
Absolutely !
Starlord really wasn't lying when he said there's gonna be a face off. That was some breaking bad level foreshadowing right there.
It was a trap
It was kind of obvious they were gonna rip his face off though
His face literally came off
oh shit! nice catch!
Only the uneducated/delusional marvel fans will defend Mickey Mouse’s garbage🤣💀
As what I’ve felt myself being a broken person for so long. I never realized until this movie how much I related emotionally to Rocket. I just saw the movie and that line Lylla tells Rocket in the afterlife broke me down. It just hit to the bottom of my heart. I’m tired of being broken and scared. I will start doing better on life. Rocket has conveyed many messages over the years that I also sympathize with. Here’s to putting myself back together. Here goes.
You got this!
❤🥰
You got this! Good luck ❤
Yo this is so random I had the exact same thought while watching the movie great minds think alike dawg ‼️
Dawg he’s just a squirrel it isn’t that serious
The moment when Lylla said "We were right. The sky is beautiful...and it is forever and I've been flying with our friends" and then Teefs and Floor waved, was a definite tear-jerker.
Im sorry but the best scene in the whole movie to me was when rocket noticed lyla got shot. The raw emotion, screaming in fear and him retaliating, was just so pure. That whole scene definitely carried the movie to me
I wanna cry thinking about floor frantically asking rocket to leave, over and over again.
@@celestialdeath9659 this part was so so sad. Really tough to watch
So many tears
When teefs screamed “ROCKET PLEASE!” It makes my cry, he was so innocent
I’m someone who’s endured a lot of loss back to back recently, and just hearing that scream of pure emotion hit me like a truck. I understood it so well I sobbed.
Honestly I think this is one of the best MCU films. Such an emotional rollercoaster, great villain. Perfectly finished off the trilogy.
Yes I agree
Only the uneducated/delusional marvel fans will defend Mickey Mouse’s garbage🤣💀
Nah the villain was mediocre and Adam warlock needed more screen time but other than that it was great
@@Deathmare235 it was just an introduction to him he’ll be back
@@michaelrebro9687 still could’ve been a better introduction but much better than Hercules
3 most powerful scenes to me were as follows.
1. Lylla getting shot and dying, with Rocket losing it. the emotions in that scene was so raw and well done, it had to be number 1.
2. Quill refusing to give up on Rocket as he Flatlines. the cameradery Quill and Rocket have is such a strong bond that even death said "nah fam, not yet" to Rocket.
3. Rocket seeing his dead friends in the afterlife, but being told it is not yet his time to be amongst them. it shows that he is welcome there, but that they know his time is not yet there.
this movie is THE best Marvel Cinematic Universe addition to date in my very honest opinion.
I think it’s sort of a fun fact that I randomly googled raccoons one night years ago out of curiosity and one of the stand outs was the fact that when they do attack humans, they usually go for the face and throat. So rocket tearing off his face is apparently pretty accurate to irl 😂
And for a demon obsessed with perfection, it was a pretty fitting consequence.
My favorite parts:
1) the hallway fight
2) Quill poking fun at the MCU logic on the elevator about how Gamora survived Tony’s snap
3) Rocket and Nebula’s relationship, you can really tell they’ve spent an extra 5 years together with their bond. It was beautiful
4) when they kick High Evos ass together after he calls himself Rocket Raccoon
Why hasn't Nebula shown Gamora Everything They/Quill Went Through?
We know she can, coz they do it in Endgame!
Point 2: He wasn't talking about Tony's snap; he was talking about people who "died in the past" BEFORE the snap, like Loki and Heimdall
I don’t care
I really liked seeing nebula care so much about rocket
The hallway fight was so epic
really cannot watch the scene with Rocket, Lylla, Floor and Teefs without shedding a tear... such great characters
yeah it definitely got me
Same same 😢😢
Lmao
I agree, it was tough to witness !
Got me too
Also, nobody seems to notice that in the first fight scene against Adam, someone (Think it was Peter) got thrown against the GOTG sign that they just put up and it split in half. Foreshadowing the disbanding of the team in the end as well as how through out the movie they often found themselves divided into two groups in different locations. I thought that was really cool. This movie was definitely one of the bests I’ve seen in the MCU 🔥
32:43 I was *not* expecting Lyla, Teefs & Floor to die. That came as such a shock to me - I just thought he'd be the only one to escape & wouldn't see them again until years later.
Wouldn't make sense for them to survive as rocket would never give up on trying to release them.
@@RscccAnderlechtfacts.
The Foreshadowing was there from the start i knew they would die but i never knew how sad and emotional that scene would be RP Lyla, Teefs and Floor
I got emotional at the beginning, rocket’s backstory had me in tears 😭 peter’s scream as he was watching his friend on death’s doorstep in-front of him was chilling, thank god no main character died. High evolutionary’s actor did an amazing job at giving me chills from how scary and threatening he seems.
Not just Peter's scream, also Rocket's scream when he saw Lylla. Absolutely gut-wrenching.
Only the uneducated/delusional marvel fans will defend Mickey Mouse’s garbage🤣💀
high evolutionary's actor is so effective. he seemed more menacing and scary than Kang
@@charlesestrella6317 he wasn't scary at all lol he was more evil than anything
@@goestheboom5211 yep i felt he wasnt menacing at all. he was evil, but not in a scary way. just pure impotent rage, like quill said.
The hallway fight scene was unreal. This movie was fantastic. Comic purests might get upset about Warlock but I think they did a good job explaining why he was the way he was.
I didn't have a problem with this fresh young Warlock. He still has a long future ahead into the Magus arc. The most frustrating thing for me was that Drax's daughter is left out again. Even as they throw Phyla in at the end. Drax retires and Moondragon still hasn't been introduced. And yet they keep mentioning Heather and how Drax was a dad.
@@ScionStorm1 i thought Drax's family were all killed by Ronin, they say that a lot in the first movie
@@ScionStorm1 wym drax daughter literally his whole reason he's in the guardians is cause he wanted to avenge his daughter and wife's death lmao?
@@ScionStorm1 Maybe they decided against his daughter to be alive ? His family being dead is actually his whole backstory, so it's okay that in this universe that part of him is dead... truly dead
Didn't expect the film to be so emotional, but I love that we saw Rocket's backstory. This is one of my favourite Marvel films.
24:45 idky but when nebula says “you left out some important information, but that is the gist of it” made me laugh so hard it’s partly the delivery and the other half is how nonchalant everyone is about everything that he said
I cried so much during this movie. I felt better hearing all of the people in the theater also sobbing crying. Baby Rocket deserved the world.
"Yeah, thems!" :')
I was bawling after his original family died
Yikes
This movie was immense. Had me fighting tears so many times, especially when we see the new batch of racoons later in the movie and Rocket finally learns what he definitely is. Great trilogy and will miss these characters
Rocket delivering his full name before devastating the HE made my life.
I love that right after he learns he’s a raccoon, he grabs all the little bb raccoons and they hold onto him just like they would naturally in the wild 😭😭😭😭
@@bloodytears610 and that he sheds them as quickly to DEMOLISH the High Evo
Miss them because only James Gunn can direct them? I think they will definitely return..
bro, I watched this with my mom. I am literally holding my tears so many times like damn why so many emotional scenes xD
Missable detail: In a flashback, High Evolutionary says 89P13's "functioning has skyrocketed". Then soon after there's this exchange: "It blue" "That's the sky" "Sky ... [noticing something else] Rocket." A perfect illustration through wordplay of Rocket's cleverness, always making connections.
I didn't see the movie in English it's a nice touch.
This film literally took all the tears I had bottle up. Like WTF was this emotional ride! 😭 Imma need a year to recover before I can ever rewatch this film again.
This movie was so emotionally moving that I got teary eyed a few times
1. When Rockets friends die
2. When rockrt is close to dying
3. When Peter was freezing up in space
4.and one last time in the final scene
Drax warming up to the Kids was an another emotional moment after knowing that he lost his daughter. Plus he was my favourite during the whole movie
Plot hole where was peters helmet when he was freezing in space?
@@janminglee3004 he couldn’t be able to put it on cause his face got puffy
@@janminglee3004not really a plot hole he just doesn't wear the helmet all movie
@@freddyfaerie3499It's a good thing cause Chris pratt is a so handsome they can't use the helmet anymore
The emotions this film had me feeling made the wait worth it. Was completely sobbing at points anyone else?
Yes 😂. My wife called out because I was tearing up
The only marvel movie I cried to, and I watched iron man die(one of my favorite characters)
I went in telling myself that I'd be as tough as nails. I broke down like a McDonalds Ice Cream machine. So hard.
Absolutely
The first time I probably shed a tear at a movie
Its been years since a comic book movie made me cry. But the scenes when Rocket lost his friends, when Quill refused to let him die, when he was ready to be reunited with his friends all got tears out of me and I was genuinely surprised I was crying. This movie was absolutely phenomenal. This was Rockets movie and I was not mad about that fact.
I strongly doubt that High Evolutional couldn't reconstruct his face, he might've kept it that way in order to remind himself to never repeat similar mistakes ever again
Maybe he did try to reconstruct it , but kept destroying it and trying again because it wasn't perfect? So kept having to wear the mask.
When Rocket said “can I come?” I was like DAMN. Brought me to the brink of tears
So true. That one broke me.
When did Rocket say that. ig I missed it
@@him1062 In the afterlife scene with Lyla.
@@him1062 when he was in limbo and saw his dead friends, Laila said they were about the go play
Me too
In the comics, it’s the Soul Gem that gave Adam Warlock his soul.
In Vol 3, it’s the Guardians.
I did smile when he awkwardly joined their hug
I'm so ready for his zuko arc
It’s actually the friends he made along the way
That was beautiful!
Something about Peter meeting his grandpa made me absolutely bawl my eyes out
The rocket stuff was deep but Peter retuning home to his grandpa got me the most😢
I love that you mentioned the idea that hearing Groot say words. I thought the same thing when I first watched this scene. Just like gamora seems to be able to understand at the end, We as an audience now are able to interpret the subtleties of Groot language
The saddest part for me is that Lylla, Teefs, and Floor didn't get their original bodies back in the afterlife 😭
Holy crap! That's a good point I hadn't thought of. Very sad, but a good point.
They didn't have the same level of intelligence in their original bodies. They might not have known Lylla, Teefs, and Floor were their own names or even the word "Friend" in their original forms. Their afterlife bodies were when they were the happiest. Floor knew Teefs having wheels, Teef knew Floor having spider legs. That's how they met each other. That's how they wanted to be with eachother.
because that's how rocket remembers them
@@wikihowsamples2972 yeah
this is actually a good thing! people often say disabled people and amputees when they die will be "fixed" in the afterlife, but it's considered harmful since there's nothing wrong with how they are now.
Tears flooded my eyes when Rocket said his first word - "Hurts"
and it was all an emotional rollercoaster from then on.
9:39 I think it also relates to his nonchalant line of ‘do you know how many prisons I’ve broken out of?’ In volume 1
The blinking of Teeth’s is especially strange when knowing they’re aquatic mamals with specialized eyes for seeing underwater. The fact that he’s accommodated to land means his wheels immobilize him for any aquatic travel and the blinking would interfere with any attempt at swimming naturally.
I loved the scene where rocket meets batch 89.
“Eyes? Mouth? Face? Does it words?” Hands down my favorite line
I almost cried when Groot said “I love you guys”, this movie was very emotional
Groot broke the 4th wall. He actually can speak like a normal person we just didnt see it
I started laughing because of the "family" meme from FaF.
@@buffmanjr11 True, Vin Diesel and family is match made in heaven🤣😂
@@janminglee3004 It's more like, in the movie he just said "I am Groot" but now we got to understand him
I cried in the scene. Say if you also felt the same reaction.
One of the most shocking scenes for me was near the end when Quill almost didn’t make it. I really wasn’t expecting him to not make it to knowhere. Seeing his face swell up was jaw dropping. Glad he didn’t die tho
how that medically possible tho? he should be dead or damaged
@@tekiero he's half celestial.... though I do agree it would have made more sense for him to at least suffer some temporary cosmetic damage
@@zxph yeah, I really think that he still has some sort of power still in him, even if it is small. It’s kinda hard to believe that he lost everything after Ego died (everything being any percent of power that he had)
Don't they have those med packs that once they put it on, it can practically heal any internal or external body injuries? I simply assumed they used this all over Peter after that scene
@I'm not a bot i guess the high evolutionary didn't know about those packs.
29:42 Groot doesn't go giant because he gets hit in the face with a rock, it's cause Nebula tells him to "go full kaiju" and Peter yells at him "no do not go full kaiju"
Rocket's cry, was like watching a little Kids heart break.. That might be the most upsetting moment as he was just that, a Kid who just watched his best friend die
What an emotional rollercoaster this movie is. From the very beginning it just rips your heart out and stomps all over it. I was crushed when Lylla, Teefs and Floor were shot but when Rocket sees Lylla as he's dying and immediately cries, I completely lost it.
I watche the movie high af this saturday for the 1st time. These flashbacks with his friends poor creatures got me cryin like a baby. Did a lot emotional damage to me😑
The most heartbreaking moment in the movie for me was Rocket crying out in pain after Lylla died
Omg yes. But when he screamed I thought "oh shit he's abt to snap." And that's what happened.
That part had me shaking
Every flashback scene Rocket had, including that one where Rocket shouts in anger and pain after Lyla’s death shattered my soul and had me in tears.
I started weeping when he was reunited with Lylla n everyone
Only the uneducated/delusional marvel fans will defend Mickey Mouse’s garbage🤣💀
35:30 it’s worth noting that freezing in space is what almost killed Original Gamora in Vol. 1 and what fully killed Yondu and all Kraglin’s Ravager buddies in Vol. 2.
As an old Marvel Comics fan, the part where he calls himself Rocket Raccoon gave me chills lol
the moment where rocket dubbed himsepf "Rocket Racoon" was litterally the best moment in the mcu. Tops cap saying "Assemble" and Tony saying "I am Ironman"
Rocket was definitely unique among the racoons, because there were many racoons in the cage, past and present. There were 88 batches of experiments before Rocket's batch, which must've included racoons. He was the only one to make the jump in intelligence.
Even surpassing his creators ability to create. Perhaps not the Evolutionaries overall intelligence. But definitely a more intuitive and natural gift for creation.
The best scene was when Rocket, Teefs, Lylla and Floor lied side by side thinking of the free world and picking our their name.. to think such innocence to ever have to endure such tortures then have the forced-on intelligence to then realize how painful, how unfair their lives have to be - yet they still have hope, yearn for a free and happy life where they can all be together.. it was absolutely PURE and was the most POWERFUL moment of the movie for me
This movie had no business making me cry as many times as it did, in the span of time that it did, but I will die on this hill and say that it’s the best marvel movie to come out since infinity war
Top tier MCU film. Everyone shines, including the High Evolutionary. And even the ending, isn't what we most wanted, but I loved how unpredictable it was and how characters chose different paths. You'll be emotional one way or another throughout this whole movie.
Wait what ending did you guys want
@@luisnieves1844 thank you. Don’t know how I missed that.
@@Soopology I always misspell shit. Gotta look out for the boys
I love that in most of their appearances in the MCU Quill and Rocket are fighting over who’s the captain/whose ship it is. It’s like Gunn was always hinting to us that Quill isn’t the main character(captain) of the trilogy, it was always Rocket.
Quill is definitely the main character 😭😭😭 like the first two is literally about him
@@unknownvoid2321nah it's rocket he's the one who has the arc over the movies quill ultimately is the auidence substitute but even Gunn has said rocket is the secret main character from the beginning
@@unknownvoid2321 first one is about gamora and drax . 2nd abt mantis and quill . 3rd one abt rocket
Only the uneducated/delusional marvel fans will defend Mickey Mouse’s garbage🤣💀
The scene when rocket saw lylla die and started screaming got me bawling tho 😢
I burst out of crying during the scene where rocket and lylla hugged and high evolutionary shot them it was just so sad and hearing rocket's scream was truly painful.
Chukwudi Iwuji absolutely NAILED this role! He is the maddest scientist I’ve seen in a while!
Seriously, to me he put in a more convincing performance than Kang
There was something heavy, deep and so incredibly human weaved into this movie. It felt like it was slowly building up to the very end. I don't know how I didn't sob loudly when the "I love you guys." line landed. So fulfilling yet heartbreaking. 10/10 the best.
It was a mirror image to our real life
@@Justinxoxo wait what? Your in space????
I firmly believe that Creep, when used correctly, can set a tone in any TV/movie work that hits your feels. So far I've seen it work perfectly in Lucifer and GotG3.
this movie tugged on so many different heart strings. undeniably one of marvel’s best movies, and a masterclass in concluding a trilogy
Nebula's arm looks eerily similar to the type of technology that the sentinels were made out of in Days of Future Past. Probably just coincidence and design choice but had me thinking. Also what an emotional rollercoaster of a film. Legit teared up several times.
She was my favorite from that movie, she's been through a lot, I just love her..
When she stood up to gamora to protect Quill and said "this is my family too" 🥺
Things like that arent put in without reason i wouldnt be surprised if it appears in the future
I thought so too!
sentinels are in mcu too
Sentinel was in the first Thor movie.
I didn’t expect them to obliterate an entire planet. I was hoping that family who took the guardians in and lent them their car would survive.
This movie goes so hard in many places. They dropped an F bomb, those creatures they fight, Rocket’s friends, and hellish imp creature that was thankful to be saved by Mantis that will forever haunt my dreams. 😬
Yeah that was sad. Of course, when HE first mentions destroy ng the planet, I thought we were about to get some kind of sequence where they hack the controls or something and stop it. HE was so cruel 😢
@@john-paul3271 wasn't the creature that mantis saved the one they killed at the start of vol 2
@@brutality75577You're thinking of the abilisks, they were talking about the creature that was in the cage.

As for rocket. They actually did a really food job making him so loving. Racoons ARE social creatures. They are incredibly loving. They literally love each other... And hang out... Technically not in a pack but as long as there is a lot of food... They kinda do just all hang out. So do otters! Otters are lovers too! i mean, it really depends lol they can all be mean! But i love that rocket is so sweet! Because as a baby raccoon, they are very smart and cat like. Lol so it's cute
Otters no where near close.
33:09 High Evolutionary was defenseless in that scene. It was his lackeys that opened fire. But more importantly, Batch 89 was gonna be incinerated anyway, so I think the guards fired on Teefs and Floor intentionally. They were breaking out of their cages, so it would make sense to neutralize Rocket’s “accomplices.”
I think you need to watch it again.
I really love Nebula, she's been through so much since GoT 1 and she's come a long way, one of the best character development of the MCU so far
My husband and I were discussing this before we saw the movie. I said I've loved them all but Nebula's arc is stunningly, achingly beautiful. And I said Rocket was a close second. After the film they are pretty much tied. I was an English major, so I love a good character arc.

There is a third use of “Chekhov’s Boots” When Rocket fights the High Evolutionary at the end, and he uses his gravity powers to lift him, rocket turns on the boots, a symbolic last act of defiance and then shoots him as he accepts who he truly is as Rocket Raccoon
Added reference as The HE says he’s a god and even gravity bends to him
Greatest Moment from the Film
I wondered how rocket got out of that. Makes sense now
That was a badass Rocket moment

My love for this movie has just increased as time goes on. It’s also got a special spot in my heart because it was a redeeming movie for the mcu and felt like og mcu 😎
During the first fight with the Warlock, Drax throws him into the Guardians sign Nebula had created, shattering the sign into fragments. For me, this foreshadowed the break up of the Guardians that would happen in the end. Also, because it was Drax who shattered the sign, it also foreshadowed that the breakup would come from within the group, and not due to an outside protagonist breaking them up.
Cheers
this movie had me crying the whole time, it really is james gunn's masterpiece
Utter perfection
I honestly couldn’t believe how amazing this movie was the first time I saw it. Heart-wrenching, hilarious, great story, solid action- gets a 10/10 for me.
the funniest part of the movie was when Adam Warlock joined the group hug in the end.
Just watched it, it's awesome. I like that the villain is not that of a wuss and not that OP. The way they defeated him made sense by consecutively attack him without letting him retaliate.
The scene where Rocket died temporarily and Lylla basically told him "not yet" seemed a lot like it was inspired by Deadpool 2 when Vanessa sends Wade back so he can save Russell
YES. I literally said out loud to a friend, “Deadpool 2 much?” in the theater.
Maybe because I haven't seen deadpool 2 yet but that scene reminded me of dumbledore talking to harry at the king's cross station when harry died temporarily.
@@rollureyes69420actually there are plenty of movie and drama scenes in modern pop culture that make use of this plot device as a way to bring people back from the brink of death
@nickraoyj huh, i didn’t know that! thx
That scene is pretty cliche. There's dozens of movies with that do it.
First time I've ever teared up 4x in one movie:
1. Rocket almost dying/eskimo kissing Lyla goodbye
2. Rockets friends dying
3. Yondu ghost saying to use your heart
4. Rocket rescuing the baby raccoons
Peter cried on dying Rocket is also intense.
@@zellious1That was the moment to got me, the way Peter was screaming over Rocket seeming dead. The absolute grief.
first person in these comments I’ve seen mention that short Yondu scene, props!
When High Evolutionary is correcting Rocket by saying "can't" I think it's because Rocket was adding the letter S to a lot of his words when he spoke, so he said "can'ts" to which he was corrected
I doubt this will ever get seen, but props to the editor for that clean wipe at 14:54. That was so smooth.
I'm watching the credits right now, and it's probably the most emotional MCU film since Endgame.
But was endgame really that emotional??
@@phaggut7875 the ending was but this movie felt emotional all the way through.
What about Spiderman No Way Home? That Has 💯 😔 Emotional Scene/s too
Most emotional since black panther wakanda forever
I bawled so hard
I love how all of them went back to get Rocket at the finale. The teamwork and action of that scene was phenomenal.
The recording "come not as you are but as you should be" definitely reads as Kree to me especially given how in Captain Marvel when Carol was forced to commune with The Supreme Intelligence near the end the song that played over that encounter was 'Come As You Are' by Nirvana which shares similar lyrical sensibilities.
When you brought up Immanuel Kant I could only think about The Good Place
Anyone else notice Groot taking the Wolverine pose with claws (branches) out right before dax, mantis and nebula break through the walls with the Avalisks and meet up with Quill and the rest of the group? I thought for sure we’d see this as an Easter egg.
Believe me, I recognized it...
fr i litterly said “he pulled a wolverine” when i was in the theaters
Peter being super drunk in the beginning was super sad for me. Pratt did a great job showing he wasn’t being “fun” drunk.
44:19 that was my favorite part of the movie clever how we can understand what Groot says now
I just finished this movie… I literally sobbed and sobbed like a baby, yall had NO right to make it that sad 💔
The last saving mission mvp for me is cosmo, can't imagine a single dog can hold an entire ship that long, cosmo is such a good dog
When you think about it, Mantis did for Cosmo (the affirmation), what Drax did for Mantis in Vol. 2. ("I BELIEVE in you")
@@johndanielsforJesus wait really??? I will rewatch it again later, nice info
@@johndanielsforJesus I also noticed this
Chukwudi Iwuji's line "There is no God, that's why I stepped in" hit so hard
Yes. Also how he felt entitled, even said he had the right, to end whole civilizations and abuse them as he sees fit just because he made their progenitors. Like the worst form of narcissistic parent who treats their kids like property.
It made me so angry. I know it is fiction but I feel like most people either believe in some sort of God or Gods. If they dont he still sounds like an arrogant ass. I just felt like who the hell does he think he is.
This 🤌
Honestly my favorite kind of villain is those with god complex lol this Thanos kang and so on
Well, technically they have god in their universe/multiverse
This movie didn’t have to go so hard on my heart. But it does share a powerful message for those who want to see and open their hearts. One of my favs in the MCU. Glad to see so many positive comments related to this. Love seeing people tap into their emotional power.
Well said ❤
I still don't have exact answers why Rocket is obsessed in collecting prosthetic body parts. Is it because of his past with Lylla, Teefs and Flor? I don't think so, it's very traumatic for him
I guess its some kind of his own dark joke
Bradley cooper will never get the respect he deserves for his interpretation of rocket. Since gotg 1, I’ve felt every emotion of rocket. From “no one out there like me cept’ me.” To him him screaming over lyllas death. He’s amazing, and rocket will always be the rock of the guardians.
I said it once and I'll say it again: Chukwudi Iwuji's portrayal as the High Evolutionary was way more impactful than Jonathan Major's Kang in Quantumania, and I'm not just saying that because of the controversy surrounding Majors.
Agreed, if Jonathan Majors can’t reprise his role, I would not be mad if they worked in Chukwudi Iwuji. Maybe make it that the High evolutionary is a variant of Kang in the MCU, and recast him in that role?
I honestly got choked up reading this. You're so spot-on
I agree. I think it’s also because we really can connect to him because of what he did to Rocket, his friends and other living creatures.
Yea you definitely sayin that cuz of Johnathan's legal situation. They both played the hell outta they parts.
@@blind-sidelocc6052 You're right, they both did. I never said he didn't do a good job, I just thought Iwuji's performance was better compared to Majors in Quantumania.
39:03 A cool cameo not mentioned that I noticed when watching: One of the card players is Bzermikitokolok, the lead singer of the band in the Guardians Christmas Special (played both there and here by Rhett Miller, the lead singer of the Old 97s).
