Everything GREAT About Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3!

Фильм және анимация

GOTG! 3! The end. For now I guess. This one actually has the highest audience rating of all the Guardians movies, so that's interesting. I also liked it. Here's everything right with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3!

    I like how we all went into the movie fully expecting somebody to die, or else this ending would feel real toothless. But once the movie ended and no one died, it still felt satisfying and earned.

    Also her just becoming like the other Gamora and coming together again with Peter would have downplayed the development our first Gamora made over two movies in my opinion. I think James Gunn even said it once that he hates it when a movie death is just undone without consequences.

    @@wyvernhattori1811 It didn't make sense to bring her back to the Guardians because they were never *this* Gamora's family. Gunn also said he never wanted to have Quill and Gamora say "I love you," and the only time where they did was in Infinity War, right before the Guardians' Gamora was sacrificed by Thanos. Them going their separate ways in the end was the right decision. Quill went home for the first time to the family he left behind, and Gamora returned to the Ravager family she joined since freeing herself from Thanos.

    I think when it really hits is when he tries to go back and save his mother. You never see him fail but you know from the way he returns and promptly passes out that he probably either got close or got to her in time to be inside the explosion and still lose her and then limped back, as it were, to the only place he could go. When he’s curled up in the blanket it’s also sad, because the only real reason he would need it is because the blanket is comforting, because he lost his mother trying to save her and he has no one to talk to about that.

    I love the subtle win for Nebula enjoying the drink on Counter Earth 'that is delightful'. It's so nice to see her enjoying small things that she'd never have showed appreciation for before. I loved all her moments - bantering with Mantis over the faces she pulls, calling Peter Star-Lord when she's annoyed with him, crying when she finds out Rocket is OK, being clearly not comfortable with the kids at first but dancing with them by the end, 'yeah, that looked cool' to Groot, her grunt-greeting for Gamora, how she calls Mantis by a nickname even when they're arguing, and Rocket's little nickname for her near the end, Nebs. All little things but added together showing such growth. I agree with all you said and more. And Rocket, our beloved raccoon... I think you hit on all the beats pretty well but a couple more I wanted to add. We get the first instance of Rocket using Peter's name when he says, 'No, Pete...' in that heartbreaking way. He's always kept an emotional distance from Peter by calling him Quill, a point that is underscored by their dynamic in Gotg2. I think you said Gunn used Fleetwood Mac to underline that Rocket may never love Peter - - I think it's the other way around, that song signifies that Rocket's fear is that Peter doesn't love him like he loves Peter. And boy, when Rocket loves someone, he loves deeply, as this movie and his conversation with Yondu in vol2 shows. By the time Rocket uses Peter's name, he's sure that he's beloved by Peter - he woke up in Peter's arms to his friend sobbing with relief that he was alive. That changes the dynamic of the friendship. He's sure he's Peter's best friend, not second best friend. (Sorry, Drax.) And Peter, for his part, recognises Rocket's leadership qualities and relinquishes the role that as you point out, he was never that well suited for. I get the vibe that you didn't love Peter and Gamora's arc, but I loved it. I thought it was so refreshing to not see them shoved back into a romantic pairing but each allowed to grow. Zoe Saldana's growl of 'what is there that's missing in your self that I need to be something for you?' is every woman's retort to a man who tries to use her as a shortcut to self-actualization. In true sister fashion, Mantus recognises this and tries to prompt Peter's growth, although in the end he gets it on his own. ' I'm still not who you want me to be, you know.' 'I know. But who you are ain't so bad.' Although did 'I bet we were fun' get me? Absolutely 😢 As for Gamora, her growth was more subtle, but it's there. Also, she gets her sword back!

    I had never thought about PeterxNebula as a couple before, and I just laughed it off as a joke when I first saw this movie. But on a rewatch, I actually started shipping them. They do work, in a strange way, with just the right balance of respect and seeing through each other's bs, that I could see them becoming something more. So I hope they continue the trend with Gamora having her own life separate from the Guardians, even if she becomes a recurring ally to them.

    Don’t get me wrong, I had no problem with Pete and alternate Gamora not being together in the end, because that’s the point! I loved that they ended up the way that they did. I think the big problem I had with the conflict, though, is that I felt that they could have done so much more with the Peter and Gamora conflict that what they did in this movie. In it, Peter and Gamora argue with each other until they accept each other as they are, and it feels like a buddy-cop plot disguised as a character study, and it wasn’t very fun to watch. We could have had Peter explore through the alternate Gamora what life would have been like if Infinity War and Endgame didn’t happen, and ultimately accepting that he has to live in the now. I’ve talked with another commenter about this, and felt that Peter could have told her about the secrets his timeline’s Gamora confided into him, in order to have her do good, opposite to the High Evolutionary then using what he knew about Rocket to deliberately hurt him. Instead, they have Gamora look at a picture of the Guardians’ past life, and it felt cheap to me. They could have done something more emotionally satisfying than “I bet we were fun” and had Peter and the other Gamora feel satisfied that they knew about their past lives. Their final scene together could have been like this: “I’m still not who you want me to be.” “Me neither. But who you are ain’t so bad.” “You’re not so bad yourself, Quill.” It would have been so satisfying for Quill realizing that he needs help, a change in scenery, too before confessing this to the Guardians. There’s this movie called Past Lives where they do the exploration of an aborted romance MUCH BETTER. They explore what life could have been for the two main characters, rather than constantly go at their throats, and the aftermath HURTS, but they come away feeling more fulfilled. If you loved it, great! I’m just not a big fan of it myself.

    I think you really missed out on a part of Nebula’s arc. The time she spent alone with Tony on the ship. The person that taught her fairplay and kindness. The fragile human at near death that didn’t have the advantage of her modifications to survive… This man that came back from that to then start a family and then to lay that all on the line to restore the universe at the cost of his own life. I think this was a huge life lesson for Nebula.

    Fun fact, Nebula's actress, Karen Gillan, carried a live sized prop dummy of Chris Pratt that was much easier to hold, weighing I think like 35 pounds. And it fooled me completely. I understand that there would be no way for her to hold Chris as easily as Nebula did without some help. But I was super convinced it was real Another fun fact, the person Mantis made love Drax was played by Benjamin Byron Davis, who is the voice actor for Dutch Van Der Linde in the Red Dead series.

    I think Rocket’s talk with the High Evolutionary about music is also pretty important. It’s not exactly “even gravity bends to me” but it also underscores how much Rocket is everything the High Evolutionary wants to be and he doesn’t ask for any praise or pretend to be perfect or amazing or better than everyone else. He’s just inventive and caring and brings order to a chaotic world to make people happy.

    I agree with you, along with it showcases Rocket's love for music, a connection he shares with Peter and Groot. Also, notice how Rocket notices the music and asks what it is. He did something The High Evolutionary never did and that was take in the world around him. High Evolutionary's flaw was he could only see the flaws in others. He actually did create perfection many, many times over, but all he could see was the flaws. Intellectually, Rocket is smarter than High Evolutionary, but Rocket purposely chooses to be imperfect. He mispronounces words when he clearly knows better. He chooses to break the law. He is sarcastic, snarky and enjoys violence. He does all of these things on purpose because the being who made him tried so hard to be "perfect".

Not only is it a song from modern era, showing a jump from past to present music, it's a song about how eventually all struggles will be left in the past. The hardest part of the Guardians journey is finally over. Sure, they won't heal overnight, but they're not holding that pain so close to their hearts anymore. They're using their life in the present to pave the way forward.

When Rocket was touched she got him Bucky’s arm in the Christmas Special, that was the moment I put it together and remembered that they were traveling together after the Snap so they probably became close.

Cause while we all wanted Peter to be happy and understood where he was coming from most of the movie, deep down we knew that it would have been cheap to for them to magically fall back in love at the end. Instead we gor a more realistic and satisfying ending of them being friends again, but Peter accepting that this Gamorra isn't the same woman he loved, and that he isn't the same guy as he was in GOTG 1 that this version of Gamorra might of fallen in love with. He's grown and changed too, so this ending where he learned to move on felt so real and deserved where a "and they lived happily ever after" ending would have felt wrong.

    Dog Days are Over being used in the ending after the closure of an incredible emotional arc is actually insane to me, because the song has so many meanings when relating to Rocket, Drax and the kids. The song is about suddenly experiencing happiness and disbelieving it there, and the dog days (of summer) being over in the song means that a difficult time has passed in the protagonists' lives. But it can also literally mean that the dog days are over, meaning the days of being treated like dogs (being treated less than human, ex being experimented on) are over. Its such a powerful moment and even going into it knowing that it was going to be the final song in the movie it still killed me. This movie was absolutely incredible and definitely my favorite of the trilogy. I grew up with Guardians - it was my first and favorite Marvel movie. From getting scared at Peter's mom dying when I was 8, to dancing along to Baby Groot at 11, and receiving this incredible closure at 17, it was a perfect cap off not only to this era of growing up but to the stories of these wonderful characters.

    I put off Peacemaker, I didn't particularily like the character in Suicide Squad. But I watched it last week, and I can say, ABSOLUTELY go watch it. It's amazing how James Gunn managed to grab a self centered/egotistical sociopathic antagonist of a movie, make him the lead of a show, and make it a show with SO MUCH warmth and emotional growth and love. Highly recommend.

    Quill's reaction when it looks like Rocket is dying is what broke me. Think about him, he's an actual sci-fi fan from Earth. And he becomes friends with a talking raccoon. That's exactly how I'd react if my raccoon friend was dying in front of me.

    25:30 This scene, even in this format, makes me tear up a little. Because they WIN. Not just the battle, but over their past. They all, every single person there, went through so much bullshit from their parents and life and others. They built themselves to try and survive in that sense, but through these movies, they built a family, relationships... and in this movie.... They built a HOME. Not just a place to be or a place where you're not in danger, but a HOME. A place people can laugh and dance and grow and be happy and feel safe to do all of that. They fucking WON.

    I played this for my residents in the Dementia ward I work in and they absolutely loved it. Both laughs and tears throughout the movie. It was magical. It's absurd how powerful a cinematic experience can be. I even brought Coca Cola and popcorn in to give them the proper cinema treatment. It's amazing how the little touches can make your "job" enjoyable but it's true. I spent two and a half hours chilling with the elderly while simultaneously crying over a CGI raccoons trauma with them. Believe it or not but life can sometimes be beautiful. I love my job.

    Let's also talk real quick about how the movie ends with a party and everyone celebrating the fraternity between them. It's such a huge testament to James Gunn's filmmaking ability that he can tell such a dark story that ends with such an uplifting message. This movie not only made me feel something, which very few Marvel movies can do, it also left a heavy impression on me. I really think this is one of the most emotional films I've ever seen.

    Nebula’s arm cannon reminds me of the upgraded Sentinels from X-Men: Days of Future Past. At least Peter admitted to screwing up in Infinity War. My favorite fight scenes were Star-Lord and Groot gunslinging and then of course the Guardians fighting together one last time with No Sleep Till Brooklyn playing in the background. Gamora understandably wasn’t at her best in this film. I liked her the most in Volume 2 because she developed a motherly instinct towards Groot and reconciled with Nebula. At least Peter got to properly say goodbye to Gamora and gain some sense of closure. For me, Nebula and Groot were the highlights of this film. I never thought Nebula would have so much emotion, but I feel like in part it’s because she hung out a lot with Rocket during the blip since he was the only other active Guardian to survive. She even called him a friend right before entering the Orgoscope. As for Groot, he’s become much more reliable. He really surprised me with the ammo and the wings. It’s so cool that he could fly now, or at least glide. He also almost made me cry when he saw Peter freezing to death. The dude really is the heart of the squad. Drax found a new sense of fatherhood. My favorite moment with him was when he translated for Groot to Adam. And finally, Come And Get Your Love by Redbone helps bring the Guardians’ journey full circle.

  • @JurassicLion2049
    @JurassicLion20499 ай бұрын

    My thesis on the entire Guardians Trilogy & Gunn’s The Suicide Squad & Peacemaker is this: the true good guys & bad guys are revealed in how they treat animals and treat life period. This is why Gunn’s ultimate villain is The High Evolutionary and why Starro the Conqueror is his ultimate tragedy defeated by rats. A lot of folks when they watched The Suicide Squad thought Gunn had a thing against birds. But they missed how the characters who perpetuated violence on said birds were villains. The choice of animal characters is also deliberate such as Nananue who is mostly an actual animal confused by the situations he’s in and probably shouldnt be in a prison but a sanctuary. Nanaue only harms others because he is an animal not out of true malice or want of violence. Starro likewise was an abused animal turned into a weapon by the true villains: the US Government. Meanwhile in Guardians, really across the trilogy, this is also the case. The Collector is a piece of crap for how he keeps living beings in cages including Cosmo. In Part 2, Ego has no respect for any living beings other than himself and wants to commit extinction on everything. The Guardians themselves on the other hand, for all being criminals or who the Galaxy couldnt give a damn about, like life and give a damn about the innocent to protect them. And initially its just the sentient life and species they can communicate with. Until the ultimate Guardian of the Galaxy comes along… Rocket. Rocket’s story is the most beautiful and poignant to illustrate Gunn’s themes & beliefs. That all life matters including especially wildlife. Rocket does not wish to only save vaguely human beings but also the caged animals. He is not smart or unique because of the High Evolutionary’s experiments but because it was a random quirk of being born. Thats what angers High Evolutionary - Rocket shows the true value of all life whether they are “lowly” creatures or not, intelligent or not, a powerful alien or a raccoon. EDIT: Forgot to add how Gunn spoils who his heroic characters are through their relationship with wildlife. Namely Ratcatcher 2, Bloodsport, and Peacemaker. Ratcatcher 2 is the one to defeat Starro because she respects all life enough to put her own life on the line for it. She befriends Nananue when no one else will because she doesnt see a monster but a lonely soul and in reality a hurt animal. She doesnt see controlling rats as a use of weapons but increasing a bond and its what makes her different from Starro’s outright takeover of other beings. Starro himself is a hurt animal but is willing to kill others and use them for his bidding as he was used. Its Ratcatcher who delivers the ultimate judgement and end of Starro’s pain the only fitting way: thru her empathy for all of the rats. The rats win because it was an act of love. Bloodsport initially is fearful of rats. He openly attacks Nanaue out of self defense and thought of killing him. He called Ratcatcher an idiot for putting her own life in Nanaue’s trust and thruout the mission, while respectful of Ratcatcher, doesnt bond with Sebastian the rat. Of course Bloodsport was always an honorable hero he just didnt want to admit he was someone capable of love because he’s a man of unbelievable skills in violence. Bloodsport tho has a heart, he can love, & does give a damn. Which is why he turns back to go stop Starro, why he didnt flinch when he saw Ratcatcher being held at gunpoint & shot Peacemaker, why he took the damn mission for a daughter he seemingly didnt care about. But then Bloodsport becomes a truer hero upon accepting the “ratism” at the end of the film. He cannot defeat Starro alone & so has to let the rats pass thru which means crawling all over him. Its this baptism which takes the man who thought he was just a killer & makes him noble. & why he finally pets Sebastian. He now respects the lowliest creatures & is a hero. Lastly Peacemaker. & funny enough despite his villain side, his own violence & baggage, Gunn spoils that hes a hero as early as The Suicide Squad. Remember that its Peacemaker who, when the Squad is drinking, tells the bartender “you forgot the rat”. And as we learn in his show, Peacemaker has a pet eagle. An eagle that is normally a wild animal but which is so bonded to him, he gives him a hug, twice! Peacemaker for all his bravado, is sweet to animals. And he is even more considerate of life in general than he’d initially admits. When Jamil calls out Peacemaker on supposedly only going after minorities, Peacemaker takes that into consideration. He addresses his own baggage, toxic masculinity, and racist brainwashing to become a nobler hero. But again, its all spoiled by the fact Peacemaker was kind to animals. He was destined to become a true hero & overcome his negative flaws.

Maybe the people who didn't feel anything happen to dislike their own family. If that's the case, that's pretty sad. The American flags got me primed and ready, because oh man was it heavy to be "home".

And the new species feels like a redesign, where you take what you liked from old, unused characters and make a new character with them. Counter Earth in general gives off the feel of 'this is just a fanfic setting'. And I say that all in the most positive way.

    I'd argue lyla's words of "the storys been yours all along" was refuring to the entire guardians story as a whole. Rocket obviously wasn't always the focal point of each film but James never undermined him in anyway. He was just as important to the team in the first 2 as he was in the 3rd. Not many writers have the skill to do that let alone care enough.
