Great conclusion. For me the most strong point of the movie was rocket's character arch and high evolutionary as Villain. Adam warlock could have been a little bit stronger? I guess but okay for a new born god baby. End the end best marvel movie since Infinity war. 8.5/10 ( i consider Endgame 8/10 and NWH a overrated movie) thank you
Best MCU movie of 2023 and a wonderful ending
I actually disagree with your thoughts on the future, I think that secret invasion, which is next in line will be epic, I am hyped for Loki season 2, (although kang’s future is up in the air regarding Jonathan majors) and then the marvels and echo closing out the year, both looking pretty shit, but I’m optimistic on marvel altering their show releases following echo as it is getting rid of the week to week crap, being able to take a day to binge out a whole show is much better than the week to week stuff imo, I don’t think gotg 3 saved the mcu, but I think the worst is behind us. I hope lol
@@captainmcknight Yeah the fact they've changed the release approach for Echo does not scream confidence in that show at all. That's a fair take from you though, like I said maybe I'm just a little pessimistic.
Went out after 35 minutes. This could have been good as a standalone trilogy, but almost all character storylines suffer from being part of the MCU.
This ain't a MCU being back on track, this is just simply James Gunn being good at his job.
Genuinely
yep james gunn said he returned on the condition that disney won't interfere in his movie and look how that turned out
Facts & feige better get a grip and follow suit because the movies & shows have been garbage with the exception of no way home, loki & werewolf by night
Facts building up hype for Superman Legacy
Well said.
I'm gonna be honest, I disagree on Adam Warlock and I think he was used perfectly. In his original comic debut, he was pushed aside and acted childish. The goal was to create the perfect being but he went rogue. However, overtime he would evolve and learn. This is Adam Warlocks origin story, and he's going to evolve even further.
@@paraonengatai5968 Same
Spot on
I don't know man. He did feel like an after thought. However, it didn't bug me as much as the guy was implying
I completely agree, there's so few "smart actors" who give calculated performances especially in humor, ie Bautista and Poulter who killed it in every scene he was in
@@Random_dud31 he wasn’t an afterthought though he was in the sequel post-credit.
The most impressive thing about this movie is how it manages to be so emotional without killing off ANY of the main cast.
And while not being short on comedy either
Rocket adopting his full name was such a good moment.
I love this movie, I like that they didn't stray away from the animals and the pain they went through, rocket is my favorite character and has been since 2014. My favorite quote from the original film is "Well, I didn't ask to get made! I didn't ask to be torn apart and put back together over and over and turned into some little monster!" Seeing what made him, how he is, is something I'm glad was put in this, and gives him so much depth.
The humor might not always land but it’s always in character so it all works imo.
The things you think don’t work, worked for me. It makes senses as a whole, probably in part because of how it was always planned to have Rocket as the secret protagonist. Partly because setting characters at a incomplete state that there is room to grow. Adam Warlock has that room to grow, so it’s a fine into to him.
It’s just a good movie period.
THIS. Thank you for saying what I was thinking, the humor was never used for the sake of humor, e.g. Thor turning into a frat boy in LAT
Ultimately I don't think so. This movie was the way it is because James Gunn didn't set out to make a movie with all of these connections to the other movies. This one was a pure ending to a trilogy. This is a guardians of the Galaxy movie not a marvel movie.
That's what makes it so good, it's fresh to have a more grounded movie that doesn't have this massive world ending avenger level threat so it has time to actually focus and develop the main cast to tell a gut wreching and beautiful story about doing everything in your power to save your friends life.
The rest of the marvel movies will be just like the rest, Way too much humor where it's not needed to the point where it destroys the tone of the movie (looking at you thor love and thunder) and they're going to focus way too hard on developing Kang over the 15 bazillion things coming out on disney plus because apparently every movie/show they release has to be a part of this massive overarching story.
The MCU took a nosedive in quality after endgame. Every since then everything theyve released has been incredibly bland. guardians volume 3 is just so disconnected from the rest of the MCU and it is a much better movie for it.
"Took a nosedive in quality" is highly inaccurate. They ebbed, as all things do, so they could add more characters. Not everything can go 100mph all the time.
True. It works though unclear vision of Gunn.
@@lexruptor after endgame the MCU has gotten progressively worse for multiple reasons. They want to tell a huge interconnected story but because every separate franchise has a different director and writer there's no consistency That's what killed the sequel trilogy for Star wars. You can't properly tell a story without consistency. If JJ Abrams just made all three of them, maybe he could have made palpatine coming back make sense. But since Rian Johnson wasn't trying to tell the same story, it was just thrown at us randomly and didn't make any sense.
The other thing that's killing MCU is oversaturation. There are so many movies and shows coming out that it's incredibly hard to keep up with. When I wanted to watch multiverse of madness I was told that to get the most out of that movie I had to watch the entirety of wandavision. That's homework. Especially for someone like me who really couldn't care less about Wanda's love life with vision.
The early days of the MCU were great because they knew exactly what they wanted to do from the start. They had a roadmap to follow to get to endgame. The infinity saga also didn't have the rampant oversaturation that today's have. If you wanted to watch endgame all you had to do was watch the main movies. Now if you want to watch a new film you first have to watch multiple seasons of Disney+ shows like Hawkeye, moonknight, falcon and the winter soldier, she hulk, and Loki.
You cannot expect your watchers to consume every single bit of your content to be able to understand what's happening. That is a recipe for failure. Quality not quantity
To be fair, they are slowing their output this year. There are no more movies until The Marvels in November and 3 tv series. In 2021, they released 4 movies and 5 tv series. Of course it remains another question whether what they release is any good but fewer crappy shows is better than lots of crappy shows.
@@huskycruxes7232many of the new shows are just there to build on and/or introduce characters. Only wandavision and Loki are somewhat relevant to the mcu overarching storyline
To be honest, I hate when people say oh that’s convenient no shit it’s a story they made it, but it makes sense for Drax to be able to know this language and he just doesn’t tell anybody because they didn’t ask because he takes everything literally and they never asked for his help and they assumed he didn’t know
This film success is its Gunn coming back to finish what he started with the first film. He had a vision and a story to tell and told it. Everything else were getting feels like we have a character and need to make a film out of them to set up a future film. That's the difference.
You all need to realize the directors make the movie good. GOTG was James Gunn and he's now switched the DCU. Civil war, infinity war, endgame - that's all Russo brothers. They're finished at Marvel. Unless they get new directors on their level, then lower your expectations. Tell me more about how awesome The Marvels looks
I don't personally take any problem with the humour shown in the movie. I mean, There's humour even in the Love & Thunder, that bombed. But here, It worked most of the time. It would have become stale had they not kept the scenes where guardians are just arguing, It's their own thing and we love it. Great video as always.
Agreed - massively funny and so much landed
Humour works in the guardian films and it worked here for the most part. A few times like Drax lying down it got tedious but it was just a few. Recent mcu has been getting unbearable though, I’m not watching a panel show.
Thor did alright with humor in ragnarok but the rest of the movie was good. Love and thunder was just stupid bad humor and it was really just too much humor making it bad
Differences between Gunn and Taika
1. Gunn actually reads the characters comics and enjoys comics in general
2. Gunn knows when to joke and when not to
3. Gunn writes full scripts before filming
If Taika did just 1 & 3 then He might’ve made a good movie
The guardians movies never really emphasized the 'superhero' part of it all, i think that's how they sidestepped the whole superhero movie fatigue going around rn
That's exactly how they did it. This is more of a guardians movie than an MCU film. Because it's so disconnected and it's telling its own story it actually has the freedom to be an in depth character study on each of the guardians instead of watching them beatinf another generic world ending threat
Yes. James Gunn even talked about this too. Stories are stories, superhero is just a genre.
Most of the new MCU are too concerned with aesthetic and tropes that they actually feel samey --- I suspect this is on Disney trying to manage brand. I legit don't get fans that're calling Phase 4 "risky".
Ironically, movies with more focus on characters and stories serve/expand the universe better. MCU itself forgot about, but they used to do it.
James gunn saved MCU 2 times. First in phrase 2 when MCU films like Iron man 3 and Thor TDW was hated by fanbase but than James gunn's GOTG came and was unexpectedly awesome and now this time when MCU movies were underperforming since Phrase 4 and GOTG Vol.3 gave the unlimited incredible end to the guardians family. End the end Marvel did a big mistake by giving DC james gunn.
The Winter Soldier came out first and was the best film since The Avengers up to that point
James Gunn is a fantastic director
Winter Soldier came out before Guardians and is still probably the best MCU film to this day...
False. To save something, it has to be in danger.
@Likegod butbetterlooking Winter Soldier? Ha!!! Trash. Absolute trash. Now, Doctor Strange 1 was good, and Age of Ultron was good, but Cap isn't a good character tbph, too boring, and none of his stories are ever interesting. Just bleh.
It’s a win for James Gunn, not the MCU.
GotG arguably ruined the MCU because it was so funny and so successful that the execs at Marvel had to cram a heaping helping of humor into every movie since. Think about the amount of humor in phase one vs every phase after the first Guardians
I think I watched the same video you did. The quipiness works for the guardians really well because of their character dynamic, and a James Gunn is a brilliant writer and director who knows how to balance the comedy with the more serious tones.
Funny quips don't work with Thor. he went from being one of the most powerful avengers to being the punchline of a fat gamer joke.
Nope. This was a thing back in the first avengers movie.
@@doug176 quipy one liners is different to making full on action comedy films
@@doug176avengers isn't a funny film, it's just the team has banter, whereas I would say guardians is trying to ve far funnier
Exactly.Ask anybody that read the run from 2007 when gotg started to get recognition what they feel about the movies.I bet you they say they hate it.He butchered gotg for three movies.Look what he did with adam warlock.And that's what marvel did sprinkle james gunn in every movie thor 3,4 is the biggest example.Gotg was they way into the mcu for all of these youtubers and so called mcu fans.I seen the writing on the wall when the first gotg came out now this is what you have today.Marvel need to capture those fans from pre 2014 cause marvel threw that out the window for fans you have today.Im listening to this dude talk i bet he never read a comic book in his life.I bet he jumped on the bandwagon with gotg.I respect Eternals now cause it wasn't no james gunn crap in the movie.it felt like a pre 2014 marvel that can grow into something better.So you is not wrong in what you're saying.And i think marvel really knows that. That's why marvel is pushing a lot of stuff back because of it.Marvel needs to go back to what got them here and that's the real fans of these characters not no critic or youtubers and let people know we wasn't built off the internet.For me I'm glad james gunn is gone.And take the gunn ism with you too💯.
The nitpicks aren't that bad for me. I really love this film
Disagree STRONGLY with what you thought about the humor, especially the colors. The scene already fulfilled its purpose. Mantis stopped Quill from spiralling. She's an empath, why would let him keep going at his expense?
It's a good movie, but one good movie isn't enough to save a franchise this big.
BP2 and AntMan3 were also good. In fact, we've only had 2 bad MCU movies recently, Thor 4 and MoM.
I think this is it. One good movie in a series of good movies (GOTG) doesn’t necessarily mean the marvel franchise is back on track, it just means GOTG is still good.
@@m1k3y48 I never said it wasn't bad, the Guardians movies are amazing. I'm just talking about the wider MCU, and I don't think it can save the MCU's declining status.
@@lexruptor Black Panther and Ant man are garbage LMAOOOO
@@lexruptor dude said Ant-Man 3 was good 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀
There’s no saving the MCU from the commercial and critical disappointment that The Marvels will bring later this year
Plus I’ll never forgive what they did to Casey
Who's Casey, I'm just mad that they ruined the hulk
@@ArnezDavid
I guess I meant to write Cassie
The ruined Hulk and tried to supplant him with a worse alternative
This wasn't MCU "back on tracK", with Kevin Feige and Disney at the helm, they're going to continue pushing out their new, annoying formula.
This was literally ALL James Gunn, and I'll be shocked if they even ATTEMPT at continuing Guardian's films lol, he is the type of guy to not allow people to push ideals into his movie to mess with the story, he leaves any of that stuff out or at the very most in the background.
No. It didnt. If anything it just sold the DC universe to me. Because this movie is 99% James Gunn, I have no reason to keep watching Marvel movies. Not even the Thunderbolts that I love so much because that line-up looks super boring.
If my perception doesn't fail me, GOTG3 will either be the beginning of more positivity bred at best or another diamond in the rough at worst.
probably a diamond in the rough
I laughed really hard when Quill goes “open the fucking door” haha that was unexpected.
I died at that part lolol
I think the movie worked so well because it was clearly James Gunn’s vision and didn’t feel like it was directed by executives. I think if that stays the same for the rest of the MCU, then it really is back on track.
To answer the question posed in the video title, I'd have to agree, this movie isn't going to get the MCU back on track. It's a good movie largely because it focused on telling a self-contained story, not featuring mindless cameos and introducing characters solely for the sake of them starring in spin-offs to make even more money. It seems like Disney just let James Gunn do whatever he wanted for the most part, and it paid off because it was a director/writer fulfilling a singular vision. And that's all great, but Disney isn't going to stop being disney. Much like Andor is for the current state of Star Wars, it's a surprisingly good fluke that will inevitably, immediately give way to more corporate half-assery. Enjoy Guardians while you can - it's probably all downhill for the next several MCU projects.
The AI art ad was the worst part of this video
I just realized that maybe the reason why Rocket likes stealing prosthetic body parts is because they remind him of his animal friends that were experimented on.
I loved GotGv3, but it has nothing to do with the all-but non-existent current MCU arc. The MCU is dead.
Delicious, finally some good fucking food. ^^
Well, that comment about Loki Season 2 didn’t hold up. Plus I find it very hypocritical how people say with GOTG3, “Marvel didn’t make a good movie, James Gunn did”. But with Loki Season 2, people say “Marvel made a good season of TV”, when by their logic they should be saying, “Marvel didn’t make a good season of TV, Aaron Moorhead, Justin Benson, and Eric Martin did.” And yet I have not heard a single soul say that.
Short answer: No.
Long answer. NOOO. why would you even think that?
Dude, this is like the conclusion and last entry of an established franchise, that was basically made by a man that is literally going to the RIVAL company, so yeah it isn't enough to say that it "saved the MCU"
Great review as always. Keep up the great work ❤👏🏻
Love his content
Disagree with you. The comedy for the most part was good, and when it wasn’t, it wasn’t a detriment to the story. It never took me out of it, and I hate Love and Thunder and think that movie was “death by a thousand jokes”
Adam Warlock was also great here. You don’t need him to be a big focus here, he’s obviously gonna be used for future content and this is his origin. If you have an issue with Warlock because he’s not like the comics exactly, then uhh, your not judging the movie on its own merits. He got the theme that Rocket was dealing with, the theme Gamora was dealing with, and the theme that Starlird dealt with in Guardians 2. He fit the story perfectly.
I do agree this guy was a better Kangaroo than Kang.
I loved the movie and yet I acknowledge the problems with it including Adam Warlock and tacked on MCU humor which I still laughed at unlike other Marvel movies. Despite all of this I loved the movie for the characters as I always have. Not action or big explosions, but an engaging character study. These characters are very likable and relatable. People like them. I also appreciated a Marvel movie that looked like a big budget movie and not just an over-glossed Disney+ show. This movie looked beautiful and visually stunning as all of them have. Other MCU's just looked kind of bland but it matches the bland characters I guess.
No, I fear this is the MCU's last gasp.
It's an amazing movie, but I doubt this is at all signaling a brighter future for the MCU.
"Did the MCU just get back on track?"
No.
Next question?
They explained that Adam Warlock was released early from his cocoon that should tell everyone why he acted so immature and not very smart. He was never meant to be a focal point of the movie, would have been weird if he was.
(Didnt watch your video, but Ill answer the question you ask in the title of your video) No, James Gunn just has consistency. He is a golden era MCU director, that's why this movie was pretty good. Unless Marvel starts to hire directors who have integrity and actually understand comics. It's downhill from here. Marvel needs to wrap it up with the Kang saga.
Internet movie critics when the superhero film has jokes in it: 😡😡
Gotg 3 was a brilliant and fantastic film for me. It is currently my favorite MCU movie of all time. Maybe it's just recency bias, but I think the MCU is on course correct.
I know this is controversial but I'm actually excited for The Marvels. It probably gets a bad rap from the Brie Larson drama. But I definitely think Iman Vellani and Teyonah Parris will perform great in the movie. Like people have barely seen any of the film and already its being attacked by trolls. Even if the movie is actually decent, people will stay find ways to burn the film to the ground.
Guardians works across the entire trilogy because its largely a self-contained series that placrs a huge emphasis on the audience enjoying these band of characters on their space-faring adventures.
In other words, they're comedic soap operas with occasional superhero bits thrown in, rather than being the opposite of that.
The only way to save the MCU is to give it all the same level of connectivity and direction phases 1-3 had, hire talented writers and let them work without endless micro-management and either cut down on the CGI or cut down on the number of projects reliant on it so that when there is CGI it actually looks half decent
Bro they didn’t micro manage the Multiverse of madness writer and look how that turned out, he didn’t even watch the prequel to his movie, WandaVision
6:58 I don’t think the humor intruded into the serious moments
I feel like Gunn made warlock a joke as revenge for them killing off gamora in endgame and making quill be the reason thanos wins. They shit on his characters. So he shit on the warlock.
This movie was great. I still have a laundry list of critique about it, but it mostly kept me engaged through the whole watchtime. Matter a fact Rocket, Adam and The High Evolutionary were so great I wished the movie to be longer or just more focused in those three characters. There was some serious space for development for all three of those that we just sadly missed. I think all of us nearly shed a tear for Rocket.
What however scares me though, is that this movie was great but still far from perfect. And to add onto that, it was a GOTG film, which has always been a bit separate from the rest and clearly crafted with more care and respect. What I mean by this is, it is still highly likely that the rest of the super hero genre wont be able to do the same. James Gunn was just a gift to the MCU and I still view GOTG vol. 1 as a higher quality movie than I do with Infinity War.
More specifically I liked the idea of Adam being in essence a toddler and so for didn't mind him as comedic relief in the beginning. But I would have liked to see some serious time and development put into him instead of useless jokes through out the movie. So I agree that the end product was bad but it could have been a shining highlight right up there with the Rocket.
I feel like we just witnessed the last good marvel movie.
I loved this movie but it didn't reinvigorate my interest in the MCU. Rather its just made me more excited for the DC GunnVerse.
I have no care at all for the brand so I'm going where the talent goes.
I think the MCU isn’t recovered. Don’t forget these characters have been with us since Phase 2 and I think this was a lovely closer to these characters.
But if you look at the new line up for Guardians characters and all the other franchises haven’t got their characters built up yet and people aren’t too interested in the new set of characters. I feel Guardians Vol. 3 was a success, in a storm of otherwise crap. Future included.
Let’s hope I’m wrong.
This movie made me feel bad for the MCU because they lost this great team of characters aside from Star Lord and it’s director.
What do you mean aside from them?
@@thrillcollectors Because the end credits said Star Lord would return but it didn’t say The Guardians of the Galaxy would.
@@YaBoyCori That's true but they didn't say The Guardians of the Galaxy wouldn't return later in the future. Still a possibility, but I agree with the sentiment that things won't be the same without Gunn at the helm.
I actually really liked Adam Warlock in a awkward 3. wheel kind of way.
Hopefully his character development will continue in some other property, so we can get the Adam we know and love.
great video but the “marvel does too much social commentary” is honestly such an overblown take even this movie alone had more commentary than all but maybe two or three marvel projects
The Guardians was the last hold out, I'm watching that and then the gates go up. Anything attached to Disney is off limits, nothing, not even essays about Disney. Everything they make is a guaranteed don't care by proven means.
Oh no what will a multibillion dollar corporation do without your dozens of dollars
@@Ewokpilot65 I duut carrrrrre.
The fact you advertised ai art is like ominous foreshadowing to the secret invasion controvesy
I don’t get how this guy only has 60K subs, he deserves so much more. The videos he puts out are amazing
8:15 What's the thing with these unedited random finnish subtitles?
Did the MCU just get back on track? Absolutely not. In fact, it's gonna get worse. GOTG3 was the last product anyone was really looking forward to.
Marvel executives have said recently they want to focus more on quality rather than quantity
GOTG 3 is not a Marvel project it's a JAMES GUNN project he had every right to do anything with this project that's why he even used the First MCU F bomb.
Marvel is gonna come back tho Secret Invasion looks solid Loki S2 and Echo have a major role for the future of the MCU(Loki S2 will set up Deadpool 3 and Echo would set up the street level Avengers of the MCU)
It was a fantastic film, a fantastic goodbye gift from James. But the wokeness, bad cgi and bad storylines/plots are coming back, propably in the very next movie that's coming out.
"Wokeness". God damn what a STUPID word that means jack shit
Mcu needs to grow with there audience and start doing more pg13/r movies and get serious the comedy is killing them. We need some high stakes .
"it was just so unlike anything in the mcu" well yeah... cuz it was good XD
Fuck no. GGV3 is the official end of the Infinity Saga. Phase 4 feels like they a massive cash grab without the care that made the MCU good in the first place.
James Gunn had the opportunity to do the funniest shit ever and he took it. He did the best MCU movie in years after the shit that went down between the studio and him and then got the fuck out.
I don’t really think so. How does one good movie make marvel back in track I don’t think this is the case. I think most of the movies after this, we’re still gonna be crap.
An ongoing scene is suddenly stopped for a joke or some quippy lines is annoying but it was kind of a gotg thing. However what made this jokes annoying is that marvel do this in all of their movies now that it lost its uniqueness. While I was watching Gotg, I could tell a joke was coming when a serious scene was going on. Gotg vol 3 felt like the cherry on top after Endgame. I'm not a fan of volumn 2 but this one made me appreciate gotg trilogy more. I mean, Rocket is my favourite member in the guardians, seeing his heartbreaking backstory was truly worth it.
No. They didn't get back on track. James Gunn just told a story about one of his favourite characters. It's a James Gunn movie long before it's an MCU movie. This movie just proves how marvel is screwed. They don't have Gunn anymore they are just back where they were before Guardians came out
anyone goanna mention how that scientist brutally died
What I don't like about marvel movies in general, is that they just drop comic book characters and except to everyone to just know who they are, and that's annoying. it's your movie, explain who they are.
So much drama and prognostication of downfall
This is normal.existing fans hate change despite the fact that actors age out and newer audiences need new characters and stories that fit the times. Endgame was a peak that cannot be forgotten for a while.
Transitioning amd building toward a global audience while pleasing the old audience is not easy. It will be hit and miss.
To hat on Disney for trying is ridiculous. At the same time, it is good to criticize and vote with $$$$$.
IMO, it's bad that the MCU has a "track" at all. They just need to make good, standalone movies and a do a crossover from time to time, without worrying about some kind of overarching narrative. The Phase I, II and III movies were leaving hints but all of that was pointing, very clumsily, to Endgame, but we had two Avengers movies before that didn't have much more lead up than "Hey, these are going to be in an Avengers movie later."
GOTG 3, Dr Strange (say what you will) and loki, along with secret invasion 1x1, the mcu seems to be looking brighter
dont forget deadpool 3
Can't wait for the video essay you're gonna cook up after that secret invasion ending hahahaha
U mention that Adam shouldnt be in the movie, but then who would injure Rocket? The whole starting point of the story is that he almost kills Rocket. And I think if its true what you just said in the video and Feige wanted Adam in the movie, then we can assume they want to have him in others movies like secret wars or kang dinasty...what better introduction could he have? A Vol.4 without Gunn? I dont think so...
I think I’m done with the MCU after this movie I’ll check out Deadpool 3 and anything else that interests me but I’m staying as far away from the the SHITASS Disney+ TV shows as possible as well as every other movie
I really luke gotg 3 even with small problems it was overall good. I personally loved the high evo as the main bad.
12:50 you made me realize phase 4 brought out some of the best mcu villains to date but the way the mcu handled them they are some of the worst mcu villains to date just the ones with most potential .
I didn’t know if this was supposed to be funny but when Adam kept almost dying when ever he would come back I would whisper to my friend “ damm this guy won’t take a hint”.
I really enjoyed this moment especially bcz recently I lost my cat and during the time he was sick I watched the movie it really touched me and made me emotional bcz rocket goes thru a near death experience and they ended up saving him and with my cat it felt like that the whole way even tho he not w us anymore it still was nice to see that they were going through smt similar idk I enjoyed it
The new Groot is badass. That aside, they did an amazing job. I enjoyed it very much and Rockets backstory had me in tears 😭
As good as this movie was it didn’t save the MCU what so ever, it’s gonna need many many good movies in a row and truly prove that it’s back to what it was.
After seeing the bad stuff that the Disney / Marvel duo has pulled out lately, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 has been a blessing. However, to say that an entire franchise is safe from just one film is not saying much, especially taking into account that the next film to be released (The Marvels) is likely to be a failure across the board. You know what they say, only time will tell.
I hadn't thought of comparing Kang to the High Evolutionary and honestly when you do, it seems like the final nail in Marvel's coffin. The final entry from a writer on his way out has a better villain than the villain that the rest of the franchise has been building towards. I'd want to see if they put the Spidey's Symbiote suit in Secret Wars, but besides that, I'm not really looking forward to anything that's announced.
Guardians 3 is either proof that there is hope for the MCU to rebuild. Or that James Gunn is about to Fuck Shit Up for DC in the BEST way.
I feel like the trope he says that the movie falls victim too are the creator of these tropes
I wouldn’t call these MCU films honestly. I’d call them James Gunn films and the people want more. This is what fans want a real comic fan at the helm of a comic film that understands the material and a real vision for a story. The man set this up for nine years and had this thought out since back then. And can we give a hard hand clap to the soundtracks for these films chefs kiss.
Also the whole Adam Warlock complaint from ppl is getting a bit old. Like tell me you never read a comic about Adam without telling me. He starts off as an infantile idiot. If people want a fully realized Adam Warlock then what you would be getting as a movie about Adam warlock not about the guardians of the Galaxy. And you can’t go praising shows like peacemaker that have the same type of injection role comedy that fit the characters but then get upset that James Gunn does the same thing with his characters in this film that fit for those characters. I would say that is not the same as the rest of the marvel films where it’s comedy for comedy sake.
Idk why people are acting like this will save the mcu, If anything it will speed up it’s death.
The film shows exactly what the mcu is missing, good story and characters, And nothing on the release slate tells me they will figure it out soon.
At least this will remind Kevin Feige that this is what fans like.
🎉😊. Great movie. 11 out of 10. Watched and enjoy a masterpiece.
Random CZcamsr and a video essay covering another luke warm take on MCU. Name a better duo
It's either back on track or this was the final send-off.
i kind of disagree on the jokes. The first half of the movie builds up rockets friends and for them to die in such an emotional scene would have been impossible for me to deal with without some of those jokes to break tension. This movie just hits a lot of good beats emotionally. It makes me angry how marvel makes back to back movies one being really terrible and this one being very quality
That scene on the meat planet was total filler trash. Totally unnecessary. They could have used that time to develop the film’s other characters or tie up other loose ends.
That part is GOATED, it shows Quill manipulative abilities and the nebula joke is funny. The only part i agree with you is Gamora, she was a pain in the ass in this scene ( and the whole movie )
At the end I disagree on the other projects most likely being bad, I think-maybe because we haven’t seen much of the characters we’re getting shows/movies for-there’s a lot of room for these new projects too surprise us and be good. I’m especially hyped for The Marvels, though I have a feeling Captain Marvel will hold the movie down a bit.
GOTG3 Isn't the savior of the mcu, we have the marvels which will be a flop, we can assume right now that gotg is a diamond in the trashpile that is the multiverse saga, until the marvels will actually be good and beyond, then i've been proven wrong
Loved Guardians 3 but I had problems with it too, namely the fake deaths (and amount of them)
No, one good movie will never be enough to 'save the mcu'. You need a consistent quality of movies for the mcu to be good again.
how many exactly
This is more a farewell to marvel from gunn. Im excited for his dceu.
7:42 i like this scene idk if movie overload will notice these comments im leaving
