Legit one of my favorite tropes of all time. Its so chilling when its done right.
If you're a defenseless baby, then yes, definitely. If you're an able-bodied adult, then it's probably still possible if you get unlucky. There's a lot of articles online about people, especially women and kids, getting attacked and mauled by aggressive raccoons. Rabid animals are especially vicious.

rocket went berserk at him for a solid 10ish seconds with these so i would probably say yeah
I like to believe in my head cannon that rocket didn’t do that much damage aside from permanent scars but instead the high evolutionary looked at himself in the mirror and sees all the imperfections rocket left and gone mad then practically ruined it by peeling it away until frick it, he makes a fake skin mask. He truly is his own hell
A regular ass raccoon, probably not THAT bad. But Rocket is cybernetically enhance, he's capable of picking up and wielding heavy weaponry at least as big as he is that no normal raccoon could lift. He's definitely got a lot more power behind those claws than he should

She was freaking out, and wanted to run, but she didn't want to leave her friends. So she gets stuck in a loop. Rabbits don't do well in stressful situations.
That shit genuinely fricked me up. Seeing an abused sped kid hyperventilating after their older sister gets gunned down while their older brother turns a dude's face into hamburger meat in a fit of pure rage is spookier than anything in Doctor Strange 2.
It's even worse after knowing the Guardians saw the LiveLeak-tier footage of their cute little raccoon being tortured and vivisected.
I mean, I'm glad James could put something that fricked up in this movie, but damn.
I brought my cynical older brother to see this movie and all the time I was like "oh no there's a bunch of talking animals, he's gonna hate it, he's gonna clal it disneycrap, god damn it Gunn why."
Then this happened and I stopped caring what he thinks, shit genuinely got to me. I spoke to him afterwards and he loved it too. Why did funny talking CGI raccoon constantly get the most emotional scenes?
>"I won't kill you, because I'm a Guardiand of the Galaxy" >leaves his bloodied, battered and horribly disfigured enemy to either burn slowly to death in the wreckage of his own ship or suffocated in harsh vacuum of space
He knew what he was doing.
Peter knew what Rocket was doing too. In fact, all of them knew. They're all cold-blooded killers besides Mantis. They just wanted him to suffer for torturing Rocket. Good friends.
I mean supposedly he's seen as God in some parts of the universe, having his face ripped off by a little raccoon was a pretty fitting punishment. I love it when the backstory shows that the villain already got his comeuppance by the hero, like in Final Fantasy 7.
It's fitting in the same way Doctor Doom's autism over his tiny scar is fitting, but in both cases, it's not retribution. They still deserve to burn for all the chaos they've caused.
That scene wasn't in the movie, which is pretty confusing considering it's the main villain's final punishment. So I can see why most people would assume they just left him there to die while they went to save the kids and animals
that shit was the dumbest line considering they've killed people before without issue, the guy is literally space Hitler nobody would shit on any of them if they decided to kill him for committing multiple genocides and fricked up experiments.
He was still a crazy raccoon then, he decided he'd be better from that point on if he was to become the leader.
What happened in those 5 minutes, you ask? Well, he got to see just how badly he fricked up HE in the past, realizing he'd already taken his revenge and didn't need to be so upset anymore.
Everyone in the hallway was trying to kill them, and even so they spared some of the humans. The HE was no longer a threat, it would have been a straight up execution.
>A law imposing total ban on vivisection was enacted on August 16, 1933, by Hermann Göring as the prime minister of Prussia.[15] He announced an end to the "unbearable torture and suffering in animal experiments" and said that those who "still think they can continue to treat animals as inanimate property" will be sent to concentration camps.[11] On August 28, 1933, Göring announced in a radio broadcast:[16]
An absolute and permanent ban on vivisection is not only a necessary law to protect animals and to show sympathy with their pain, but it is also a law for humanity itself.... I have therefore announced the immediate prohibition of vivisection and have made the practice a punishable offense in Prussia. Until such time as punishment is pronounced the culprit shall be lodged in a concentration camp.[16]
Göring prohibited vivisection and said that those who "still think they can continue to treat animals as inanimate property" would be sent to concentration camps.[11]
Göring also banned commercial animal trapping and imposed severe restrictions on hunting. He prohibited boiling of lobsters and crabs. In one incident, he sent a fisherman to a concentration camp[16] for cutting up a bait frog.[14]
On November 24, 1933, Nazi Germany enacted another law called Reichstierschutzgesetz (Reich Animal Protection Act), for protection of animals.[17][18] This law listed many prohibitions against the use of animals, including their use for filmmaking and other public events causing pain or damage to health,[19] feeding fowls forcefully and tearing out the thighs of living frogs.[20]
This. And pay no mind to the fact that all of those weird robot animals were also probably innocent creatures that were experimented on Robotnik-style.
And hey, they're hostile, right? That makes it OK. I mean, it's not like horribly abused and mangled creatures can become friend, right? It's not like misguided and brainwashed villains can be redeemed.
This was the first time I ever eagerly anticipated a villain's death. In fact, I wanted him to be tortured first.
>"I won't kill you, because I'm a Guardiand of the Galaxy" >leaves his bloodied, battered and horribly disfigured enemy to either burn slowly to death in the wreckage of his own ship or suffocated in harsh vacuum of space
He knew what he was doing.
I still don't understand what made Rocket change. Was it the vision of Lila?
I actually didn't. I watched Peacemaker which was marginally better but still kind of meh. I feel like when Gunn gets his R rating he only uses it for inserting 5 curse words into every sentence and having lots of gratuitous violence. I get desensitized to it; for me it works better in focused blasts like in GOTG 3, or not at all like in GOTG 1.
Oh sure, I can totally see why TSS and Peacemaker wouldn't work for some people, even if I did like both.
I guess my point is that James Gunn saw arguably the single worst movie in the DCEU, and he managed to make his version of the Squad into people with infinitely more charisma and likeability. I mean, Superman is a lot more iconic than a bunch of D-list DC villains or C-list cosmic Marvel characters, and his Superman film probably won't be rated R, but the point is that he always seemed to care about making emotionally-resonant stories.
Of course, it was leagues ahead of the first suicide squad, and the various animated suicide squads I've seen. While I'm unsure if he can fully lean into the heroic side of Superman he sure as hell can't do worse, and I'll keep an open mind with what he decides to do with the DCU going forward.
>and the various animated suicide squads I've seen
Was Hell to Pay bad? I never really cared about that universe of animated movies. >While I'm unsure if he can fully lean into the heroic side of Superman he sure as hell can't do worse
Yeah, good point. I suppose I can only be excited then.
Sure, I also really loved The Suicide Squad, but it was sometimes too cynical sometimes, which isn't something bad for this kind of movie.
But GOTG3 really showed to me how Gunn can do some things that I relate more to Superman (overcoming grief, loss and being hopeful in general). Also, probably because Disney gave more creative freedom to him, he did some really good more """artsy""" scenes.
>But GOTG3 really showed to me how Gunn can do some things that I relate more to Superman (overcoming grief, loss and being hopeful in general)
I mean, I feel like the Guardians movies always had those themes, but they are a lot more potent in GOTG3. I think that just proves that Gunn is getting even better at writing.
While I agree with you, I see GOTG3 as the better one in the mix. It got the same (but louder) high points from 1 and 2, but none of it's flaws. No "dance off bro" or taserface scene. Hell, there were so many times I expected some cringe unending scene, but it never came.
I find this to be the more mature of the three movies, not because of muh violence or sad backstory in itself, but because it knew how to handle it's characters reacting to those themes.
Dance off was fine, it was a different era of moviemaking and it was a clearly desperate attempt to draw attention and Ronan's completely deflated "what are you doing" made that moment work. Referencing it later in other movies was the cringey part (though iirc, that wasn't Gunn but IW)

Goddamn, the scene where he hugs all the little raccoons always get me.
Good idea. But marvel will monkey paw it. Especially with the writers they have right now. Will make her save a racist planetary slave trade with slaves played exclusively by blacks. Will get a ugly poc girlfriend. Etc.
Yet unpandered staff in other MCU/capeshit movies can achieve shitty results.
The problem is deeper. You can have good things that have pandering, but you can never have good things when writing and planning is horrible.
The implication being that if a pandering movie had good writing and planning it would be as beloved as the best of them? If She-Hulk was written by an attorney it would beat Infinity War as the greatest MCU movie of all time. I don't think so.

No, it wasn't the implication. I meant to say that good things can existing while having pandering, while bad things will keep being bad things with or without the pandering. >If She-Hulk was written by an attorney it would beat Infinity War as the greatest MCU movie of all time. I don't think so.
Attorneys don't write scripts, this doesn't even make sense. Yet I see what you're trying to say, and no, pandering is only one aspect of a media, it doesnt adds or devaluates.

If it doesn't devalue, then a pandering movie that exists to pander and sees pandering as its main focus has the potential to be the best movie of all time.
I disagree. I believe pandering can both devalue and add, depending on how it's done. Sometimes a movie panders and it just speaks to people, fills them with all sorts of new thoughts and realizations. Especially in the past before people became so stubborn and opinionated about shit they know nothing about.
ngl I kind of fricking hated Mantis by the end of GOTG 3. Neubla is the new best girl, and I fricking hated her at the start of GOTG 1. We've come a long way.
Actually I really liked Mantis at the end, at first I've thought she would never get her own closure, but then she just did. She really needed to become her own person.
A panel from the Legendary Star-Lord comic series that cropped up when the first movie was released. The girl in the banana suit is a Kitty Pryde from the X-Men comics. She became engaged to Peter Quill and later became the new Star-Lord in the Guardians of the Galaxy book for like six issues. After being relaunched, this comic would later retcon Peter Quill into having named himself "Star-Lord" after a vacuum cleaner.

The same guy who thought Nova's name was Richard Ryder and that Knowhere was a Tatooine-like planet.
Rocket's life was suffering for most of the movie. Having his dad want him only for his brain, having the closest thing he had to a mother and then his friends shot dead in front of him. It haunted him his whole life until the end of 3.
I remember leaving the theatre very disappointed. When I left the threatre after vol 3 I was exhilirated, feeling like "this is exactly the sequel to vol 1 that I wanted!"
Really? I watched it with my father and we both enjoyed it a lot, for obvious reasons, I'd think. I think that 2 is probably the weakest of the movies, but while I like the idea of making the story about a character but they're not part of it, something about 3 just made it feel like it wasn't as good as it could have been.
1 was this funny bombastic space adventure ten times more entertaining that Star Wars was at the time while 2 is just dicking around on some boring-ass planet discussing family matters. It ranged from dull to painfully cringe-worthy, with short glimpses of what made 1 so good. Then 3 is a bombastic space adventure again, with much better emotional moments than 2 and not a shred of cringe-worthy crap anywhere. It's the alpha AND the omega.

The whole conflict of Peter & Gamora is their relationship that doesn't exist because this is time displaced Gamora who never fell in love with Peter. 3 literally starts with Peter being a depressed drunk because Gamora is gone.

And you know, potentially being responsible for Thanos winning. But sure, you can interpret that as solely love sickness if that suits your argument better. Regardless I didn't find it to be cringe-worthy family drama, rather Gamora was a pretty scary space villain this time around.

Peter grabbing Nebula's arm in a drunken stupor and mumbling "I love you, Gamora" is one of the hardest-hitting moments in the film, anon. I don't see how that's cringeworthy.
Aside from him almost killing Peter in Vol. 1, I think the first movie and the holiday special do a good enough job at establishing him as a decent father figure, especially since his first act as a dad was saving Peter from being tortured and possibly killed by his bio dad.
Yeah, but like I said, the holiday special expanded on Pete's relationship with Yondu, and at the same time, made that single shot all the more sweet. >get your kid two blasters for Christmas >go out later and help him practice with them >he uses them to shoot his bio father, who you kept him from for fear of the kid getting hurt or killed >he keeps them long after you're gone as a memento
It’d be a perfect trilogy if it weren’t for the two fricking Avengers movies that killed off a Guardian, jumped forward five years with Rocket and Nebula being heroes for half a decade while everyone else was dead, and then brought a NEW Gamora nine years into the future. Imagine explaining all that shit to somebody who had only seen the first two Guardians movie.
Sure, but without Endgame, we don't get nearly as much character development for Nebula. Besides, old Gamora was a really dry character. Space pirate Gamora stands on her own.
>we don't get nearly as much character development for Nebula >Endgame starts with Stark and Nebula adrift in space just waiting to run out of oxygen >Stark teaches her to play finger football with a wrapper to pass the time, during which he's entirely patient and kind >Nebula finally got to win something for herself, after which she has to process that new feeling

Raccoons like to wet their food because their paws have specialized receptors that respond to water, so it helps them feel and "taste"

>because their paws have specialized receptors that respond to water, so it helps them feel and "taste"

I thought they did that because they were clean animals.
Rocket and Layla's millisecond long kiss added nothing to the plot. They should've just stayed friends. I don't know why every mainstream movie has to shove in romance any chance they get. even when it serves no point. The movie and the emotional impact of the scene would've been no different had the two not kissed.
When High Evolutionary started mocking Rocket's screaming, that made me laugh hard. Something about villains who do evil stuff and then just don't care about the emotional stuff resonates more with me for villains as they should be unlikeable and charismatic at the same time. It is the most uncharismatic thing a villain could do by killing someone but then just dismissing the murder with laughter or apathy makes them somewhat charismatic as they could be seen as a person who has done this so much that behavior is the only way to continue doing such actions. But also the guy playing him made that scene come across as funny so I don't know if that was intentional.
Yeah I'm not criticizing it for that, I know he was supposed to be like that. I'm just saying that it highlights how being unlikeable can still create charisma. I'm probably phrasing it badly. Anyway, I just kind of found the guy's delivery funny whether it was supposed to be or not.
>There are plenty of villains that aren't supposed to be charismatic, anon. HE was one of them
The frick are you talking about? HE drips charisma. If he wasn't charismatic then he sure as shit wouldn't be able to talk multiple groups of people into going along with seeding and destroying multiple worlds for one man's ego project.
HE has tons of charisma. Its just that he's designed to be utterly unlikeable underneath that surface of sociability.
>If he wasn't charismatic then he sure as shit wouldn't be able to talk multiple groups of people into going along with seeding and destroying multiple worlds for one man's ego project
I feel like there's a difference between being a wealthy and powerful egomaniac and being charismatic. Think about someone like Jeff Bezos, or Mark Zuckerberg, or even Elon Musk. They've managed to build up giant empires despite being creepy nerds. Most of the people who worship them either do it just because they're rich or just because they're tech geniuses who make useful shit.
In that same way, HE controls a lot while still acting like a whiny monarch. Most of the people who worship HE and look up to him were creatures that were made by him. When his goals became too insane for his bureaucratic cronies, they tried to turn on him, but he was just too powerful for that to happen.
Is it just me, or did the flashback scenes feel like they were supposed to be in the beginning of the movie but were rearranged to have Rocket's scene be scattered throughout the movie? The finally cutscene ends with a close up to Rocket's eye and the movie starts with a close up of his eyes too.
>did the flashback scenes feel like they were supposed to be in the beginning of the movie
Dumping all that lore at the beginning of the movie is a downright terrible writing decision. People want suspense, anon.
Unironically, watch Captain America: civil war again, because Zemo listening to the same phone message over and over because it was the last and only remnant of his wife remaining is almost the same thing.
Quill lost his mother and was running ever since, he literally refused to take her hand because he knew what it meant and he didn't want it to be the last moment he held his mom's hand, which is understandable for all but the most hardcore autists. So when she dies, he also doesn't want to open the present because after he does, he will never receive another present from her again. By not opening it he thought he could postpone the grief (and subsequent closure). Hence why at the end of GotG1, when Gamora yells at him for his hand while he's succumbing to the Power Stone, he sees his mom's hand and has a moment of clarity (likely caused by being so near death) that he needs to cherish the moments he has while he has them. That's why the next thing we see of him during the following montage is him opening the present because he wanted the closure.

A lot of people were judging by what I've seen normies post about GOTG3.
I don't know, in the back of my head, it felt kinda wrong for Peter to rebound with the sister of his dead lover.
But at the same time, I cherish the image of Nebula reluctantly letting Star-Lord cum deep inside her high-polymer vibrating robo-vegana, so I'm conflicted.
It's not a rebound if >their Gamora has actually been dead for years >nu-Gamora just helped Peter realize that his Gamora is gone >Peter goes away to spend time on Earth
He will come back and they will finally resolve that sexual tension between them.
>used to rehab raccoons that'd be orphaned in my yard growing up >those scared little chitters as rocket sees all the babies during the escape
The last batch was a group of 4 last summer that had their mom die suddenly. They were too old for me to comfortably try and interact with them, but not quite old enough to be on their own. Luckily the other female in the yard took them in.
They have almost human-like hands with the softest lil' squeezable paw pads ever. They feel like velvet and they absolutely love climbing all over you.
I really loved how Rocket's moment with them is completely without dialogue, the only implication being the racoon sign. Despite it being undoubtedly just CGI it was so well composed and paced that it just felt like a knife to the heart.
I didn't watch and never want to watch the new thor movie, was that where the guardians pick up cosmos and start living om Knowhere? did anything ever come from the thor/guardians team up?
Gamora >went from a daddy's girl to a splat on the pavement of a barren world >dull personality; barely any development >time-displaced version is way cooler than her >normal-ass Zen-Whoberian pussy

then they fricked the script up by having rocket show mercy to the villain. sorry that's bullshit, the bad guy had just done omnicide, he should have been executed
Man, Rocket didn't deserve too suffer that much.

Feom the start they're intellectual level started low. Rocket first words was "hurt" I think intelligence rabbits are on the low side.
THAT'S WHAT THE RABBIT REMINDED ME OF!
I forgot about this comic!
Rocket and his friends were clearly part of the HE's successive attempts to create intelligent life using Earth creatures as an evolutionary template.
It stands to reason that Floor was probably the first animal made based both on her rudimentary enhancements/technology and relatively low intellect.
Floor > Teefs > Lylla > Rocket
She's as smart as a very young human, which for a rabbit is very intelligent.
Could Rocket have fixed her if they got out?
Maybe.

No. They only show up in flashbacks from his own time as a labrat.
So it doesn't even serve the plot, but it's just for the sake of pulling on people's heartstrings.
It explains why Rocket is the way he is and how he eventually overcomes it
That's a part of it, but not the whole picture.
It serves the plot insofar as it explains Rocket's backstory and the villain's primary motive/end goal, but they are largely intercut with the actual ongoing narrative
Genuinely disturbed me when this little moronic started spazzing out after Lylla got shot
Do you think we might get an episode of what if season 2 showing a timeline where Floor survived?
>Character is dealing with some heavy shit while someone in the background is hysterically screaming

Dumb question - could a raccoon really frick up your face that bad?

Okay Doctor Doom.
Yeah and you are idiot fanboy. "Like to beleive" .
A regular ass raccoon, probably not THAT bad. But Rocket is cybernetically enhance, he's capable of picking up and wielding heavy weaponry at least as big as he is that no normal raccoon could lift. He's definitely got a lot more power behind those claws than he should

That part was legitimately heartbreaking.
I found it really manipulative and funny.
I still don't get what Floor wanted to do.
There's a second meaning to their final actions?
She wanted to leave, how is that not obvious? She wanted Rocket, her and the walrus to get of there.
yet she barely moved.
and teefs was even worse, he pressed the silent alarm?
They were scared and traumatized, floor was screaming like a young child would
She was freaking out, and wanted to run, but she didn't want to leave her friends. So she gets stuck in a loop. Rabbits don't do well in stressful situations.
That shit genuinely fricked me up. Seeing an abused sped kid hyperventilating after their older sister gets gunned down while their older brother turns a dude's face into hamburger meat in a fit of pure rage is spookier than anything in Doctor Strange 2.
It's even worse after knowing the Guardians saw the LiveLeak-tier footage of their cute little raccoon being tortured and vivisected.
I mean, I'm glad James could put something that fricked up in this movie, but damn.
I don't care what anyone says. This scene was fricking heart-breaking man.
Is this a panic attack movie?
No. Don't be a moron.
What is moronic about that question?
Going to start saying this when my friends have panic attacks
Yes.
That's unbridled rage, not panic
That puss in boots scene mindbroke you people
Speaking of Puss, I think he and Rocket could become very good friends.
Reddit Racoon.
(you)
I brought my cynical older brother to see this movie and all the time I was like "oh no there's a bunch of talking animals, he's gonna hate it, he's gonna clal it disneycrap, god damn it Gunn why."
Then this happened and I stopped caring what he thinks, shit genuinely got to me. I spoke to him afterwards and he loved it too. Why did funny talking CGI raccoon constantly get the most emotional scenes?
good writing, good acting, good directing
creators that care about what they make
I think High Evolutionary got off too easy. I wanted that fricker broken in body AND spirit.
>"I won't kill you, because I'm a Guardiand of the Galaxy"
>leaves his bloodied, battered and horribly disfigured enemy to either burn slowly to death in the wreckage of his own ship or suffocated in harsh vacuum of space
He knew what he was doing.
>Starlord not telling about the fat guy he just gave the piledriver from space, drowned in a puddle and ripped the brains out of.
Peter knew what Rocket was doing too. In fact, all of them knew. They're all cold-blooded killers besides Mantis. They just wanted him to suffer for torturing Rocket. Good friends.
I mean supposedly he's seen as God in some parts of the universe, having his face ripped off by a little raccoon was a pretty fitting punishment. I love it when the backstory shows that the villain already got his comeuppance by the hero, like in Final Fantasy 7.
It's fitting in the same way Doctor Doom's autism over his tiny scar is fitting, but in both cases, it's not retribution. They still deserve to burn for all the chaos they've caused.
Drax left with him in tow. Per Gunn, HE is currently locked up on Knowhere to seethe and fail to cope for the rest of his life.
WAIT, HE'S ALIVE?! I GENUINELY DON'T REMEMBER THAT!
That scene wasn't in the movie, which is pretty confusing considering it's the main villain's final punishment. So I can see why most people would assume they just left him there to die while they went to save the kids and animals
that shit was the dumbest line considering they've killed people before without issue, the guy is literally space Hitler nobody would shit on any of them if they decided to kill him for committing multiple genocides and fricked up experiments.
>i won't kill you, i'm a guardian
what was the hallway fight then?
He was still a crazy raccoon then, he decided he'd be better from that point on if he was to become the leader.
What happened in those 5 minutes, you ask? Well, he got to see just how badly he fricked up HE in the past, realizing he'd already taken his revenge and didn't need to be so upset anymore.
Everyone in the hallway was trying to kill them, and even so they spared some of the humans. The HE was no longer a threat, it would have been a straight up execution.
When I wrote a story with this dilemma the hero just shot the villain in the head instead of horibly torturing him as he deserved.
Hitler wouldn't torture animals. homosexual.
Wouldn't he?
No.
That's surprisingly wholesome for Hitler.
>A law imposing total ban on vivisection was enacted on August 16, 1933, by Hermann Göring as the prime minister of Prussia.[15] He announced an end to the "unbearable torture and suffering in animal experiments" and said that those who "still think they can continue to treat animals as inanimate property" will be sent to concentration camps.[11] On August 28, 1933, Göring announced in a radio broadcast:[16]
An absolute and permanent ban on vivisection is not only a necessary law to protect animals and to show sympathy with their pain, but it is also a law for humanity itself.... I have therefore announced the immediate prohibition of vivisection and have made the practice a punishable offense in Prussia. Until such time as punishment is pronounced the culprit shall be lodged in a concentration camp.[16]
Göring prohibited vivisection and said that those who "still think they can continue to treat animals as inanimate property" would be sent to concentration camps.[11]
Göring also banned commercial animal trapping and imposed severe restrictions on hunting. He prohibited boiling of lobsters and crabs. In one incident, he sent a fisherman to a concentration camp[16] for cutting up a bait frog.[14]
On November 24, 1933, Nazi Germany enacted another law called Reichstierschutzgesetz (Reich Animal Protection Act), for protection of animals.[17][18] This law listed many prohibitions against the use of animals, including their use for filmmaking and other public events causing pain or damage to health,[19] feeding fowls forcefully and tearing out the thighs of living frogs.[20]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_welfare_in_Nazi_Germany
One thing the Nazis did right.
Treating animals with the respect they deserve?
Since when do the Guardians even have a no-kill code? I'm pretty sure they've killed plenty of goons, so why not High Evolutionary?
honestly at a certain point a no killing rule just becomes irresponsible, some people are irredeemable.
It's video game rules. Goons don't count, only big bad cutscene bosses count.
This. And pay no mind to the fact that all of those weird robot animals were also probably innocent creatures that were experimented on Robotnik-style.
And hey, they're hostile, right? That makes it OK. I mean, it's not like horribly abused and mangled creatures can become friend, right? It's not like misguided and brainwashed villains can be redeemed.
This was the first time I ever eagerly anticipated a villain's death. In fact, I wanted him to be tortured first.
I still don't understand what made Rocket change. Was it the vision of Lila?
I'm that sperg who started laughing hard in the theater when the black guy started mocking him
I may be too much of a hopeful guy, but after watching this, I think I can trust Superman to the Gunnguy.
>after watching this
What, you didn't like The Suicide Squad? I figured that was the first real indicator.
I actually didn't. I watched Peacemaker which was marginally better but still kind of meh. I feel like when Gunn gets his R rating he only uses it for inserting 5 curse words into every sentence and having lots of gratuitous violence. I get desensitized to it; for me it works better in focused blasts like in GOTG 3, or not at all like in GOTG 1.
Oh sure, I can totally see why TSS and Peacemaker wouldn't work for some people, even if I did like both.
I guess my point is that James Gunn saw arguably the single worst movie in the DCEU, and he managed to make his version of the Squad into people with infinitely more charisma and likeability. I mean, Superman is a lot more iconic than a bunch of D-list DC villains or C-list cosmic Marvel characters, and his Superman film probably won't be rated R, but the point is that he always seemed to care about making emotionally-resonant stories.
Of course, it was leagues ahead of the first suicide squad, and the various animated suicide squads I've seen. While I'm unsure if he can fully lean into the heroic side of Superman he sure as hell can't do worse, and I'll keep an open mind with what he decides to do with the DCU going forward.
>and the various animated suicide squads I've seen
Was Hell to Pay bad? I never really cared about that universe of animated movies.
>While I'm unsure if he can fully lean into the heroic side of Superman he sure as hell can't do worse
Yeah, good point. I suppose I can only be excited then.
Sure, I also really loved The Suicide Squad, but it was sometimes too cynical sometimes, which isn't something bad for this kind of movie.
But GOTG3 really showed to me how Gunn can do some things that I relate more to Superman (overcoming grief, loss and being hopeful in general). Also, probably because Disney gave more creative freedom to him, he did some really good more """artsy""" scenes.
>But GOTG3 really showed to me how Gunn can do some things that I relate more to Superman (overcoming grief, loss and being hopeful in general)
I mean, I feel like the Guardians movies always had those themes, but they are a lot more potent in GOTG3. I think that just proves that Gunn is getting even better at writing.
While I agree with you, I see GOTG3 as the better one in the mix. It got the same (but louder) high points from 1 and 2, but none of it's flaws. No "dance off bro" or taserface scene. Hell, there were so many times I expected some cringe unending scene, but it never came.
I find this to be the more mature of the three movies, not because of muh violence or sad backstory in itself, but because it knew how to handle it's characters reacting to those themes.
Dance off was fine, it was a different era of moviemaking and it was a clearly desperate attempt to draw attention and Ronan's completely deflated "what are you doing" made that moment work. Referencing it later in other movies was the cringey part (though iirc, that wasn't Gunn but IW)
>Referencing it later in other movies was the cringey part
What was cringey about that?
>Referencing it later in other movies was the cringey part
I thought it was unironically funny because it comes up when Stark was trying to be serious and have a plan for Thanos and he hears that they crazy space people beat one his generals with a dance off
Bht we are going yo follow the gay Superman. Not kal el
Shades of Buffalo Bill mimicking the girl in his basement hole coming from the High Evolutionary here.
THERE IS NO GOD! THAT'S WHY I STEPPED IN.
Handsome Jack looking ass.
He's genuinely a good actor.
I'm not the step god I'm the god who stepped up.
Everyone absolutely turning on him after that was just what I needed before he got humiliated by a fricking racoon, again.
Best line in the movie right there.
>Sir, you've gone mad with power
>Well of course I have! Have you ever gone mad WITHOUT power? It's boring! Nobody listens to you!
I'm really glad Star Lord referenced Robocop when insulting him, because for the whole film every time he showed up that is all I could think of.
Not Handsome Jack? He even has the same psychological profile.
>Not Handsome Jack?
I don't play the Borderlands games, aside from seeing the character's name referenced on here and the occasional gaming article I have no knowledge of them.
Borderlands is fricking shit so no
Quinn would have no idea who Handsome Jack is, anon, Robocop makes more sense
I was talking about Anon's reaction.
So based. The only time the High Evolutionary has ever been good.
And yet he's dumber than a raccoon. The One Above All was laughing at him
Not even necessarily dumber than him, but Rocket knowing that one thing he didn't was enough for him to fricking spaz out and commit genocide.
;-;
>Reddit Raccoon
go back in your cage
nah you should go there instead homosexual
No u homosexual.
Where's this from?
One Piece
HE depicting Rocket as a onions wojack is surprisingly in-character
>89P13 its over, for I have depicted you as a soi wojak, making you the buffon, the fool. With this winning move at play, its time for you to give in, P13, end this charade. Or need I soi wojak you again, perhaps quoting something you said too now? Certainly you do not wish for such a fate.
>Hold it together pretty well
>Then scene where Nebula lets out a sob upon hearing Rockets voice
FRICK
>Nebula cares so much about Rocket in particular because they got to stew in defeat for five years together while the Guardians were dusted
>they've both been torn apart and put back together again
>they've the two Guardians who have been neglected and abused the most, and yet, they both get endings where they get to become leaders and spread hope across the galaxy
Raccoons look so cute, wish where I live had some
They look cute, but can be a menace in a heartbeat.
>wish where I live had some
They have thumbs, they will get into your cans and spread trash all over your lawn.
Don't forget the high rate of Rabies
Yeah but can you frick one?
>Sorry sir but you've been diagnosed with Raids
Le heckin animalinos..
>Do you like to hurt other people?
When that guy asked
>I've thought we were only saving the higher life forms
I thought Rocket would show up and say
>But we are
Goddamn, the scene where he hugs all the little raccoons always get me.
>tfw no Mantis episodical Disney+ show where she gets into wacky space adventures with eventual cameos from the old and new guardians
Good idea. But marvel will monkey paw it. Especially with the writers they have right now. Will make her save a racist planetary slave trade with slaves played exclusively by blacks. Will get a ugly poc girlfriend. Etc.
If you think pandering is the worst thing about MCU today, you have your priorities all over the place
It starts with pandering in staffs .
Yet unpandered staff in other MCU/capeshit movies can achieve shitty results.
The problem is deeper. You can have good things that have pandering, but you can never have good things when writing and planning is horrible.
The implication being that if a pandering movie had good writing and planning it would be as beloved as the best of them? If She-Hulk was written by an attorney it would beat Infinity War as the greatest MCU movie of all time. I don't think so.
>The implication being that if a pandering movie had good writing and planning it would be as beloved as the best of them?
No, it wasn't the implication. I meant to say that good things can existing while having pandering, while bad things will keep being bad things with or without the pandering.
>If She-Hulk was written by an attorney it would beat Infinity War as the greatest MCU movie of all time. I don't think so.
Attorneys don't write scripts, this doesn't even make sense. Yet I see what you're trying to say, and no, pandering is only one aspect of a media, it doesnt adds or devaluates.
If it doesn't devalue, then a pandering movie that exists to pander and sees pandering as its main focus has the potential to be the best movie of all time.
I disagree. I believe pandering can both devalue and add, depending on how it's done. Sometimes a movie panders and it just speaks to people, fills them with all sorts of new thoughts and realizations. Especially in the past before people became so stubborn and opinionated about shit they know nothing about.
One can hope.
I would like that for Rocket, since I feel like he has a few arch enemies that have never been utilized particularly well.
Anyone else upset we didn't get Blackjack in this? Like, who the frick is Floor?
Who the frick is Blackjack?
Blackjack O'Hare. Dumb secondary.
I mean if you wanted Blackjack get get gunned down there, kinda an odd waste of a character.
ngl I kind of fricking hated Mantis by the end of GOTG 3. Neubla is the new best girl, and I fricking hated her at the start of GOTG 1. We've come a long way.
Actually I really liked Mantis at the end, at first I've thought she would never get her own closure, but then she just did. She really needed to become her own person.
>Guardians without Gunn
No thanks
Come on, it could work!
I have a feeling that now that Gunn's left, whoever takes over these characters after him are gonna use the 2012 and onward stuff as their basis.
What the frick is this
A panel from the Legendary Star-Lord comic series that cropped up when the first movie was released. The girl in the banana suit is a Kitty Pryde from the X-Men comics. She became engaged to Peter Quill and later became the new Star-Lord in the Guardians of the Galaxy book for like six issues. After being relaunched, this comic would later retcon Peter Quill into having named himself "Star-Lord" after a vacuum cleaner.
Bendis
The same guy who thought Nova's name was Richard Ryder and that Knowhere was a Tatooine-like planet.
>Richard Ryder
I mean, that's just a minor spelling mistake. Who cares? It's like saying 'Mark Spector' or 'Kitty Pride'.
his encounter with the baby raccoons made me tear up.
Rocket's life was suffering for most of the movie. Having his dad want him only for his brain, having the closest thing he had to a mother and then his friends shot dead in front of him. It haunted him his whole life until the end of 3.
i like when the HE midsommar'd him
>Everybody, do as the raccoon does!
>AAAAAHHHHHHHHH
>AAAAAHHHHHHHHH
>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
would be a perfect trilogy apart from vol 2
i would've wanted interstitial flashbacks just like this showing how yondu was the dad who stepped up and less overly drawn out jokes
Vol 2 was very good, I'm not complaining.
I remember leaving the theatre very disappointed. When I left the threatre after vol 3 I was exhilirated, feeling like "this is exactly the sequel to vol 1 that I wanted!"
Really? I watched it with my father and we both enjoyed it a lot, for obvious reasons, I'd think. I think that 2 is probably the weakest of the movies, but while I like the idea of making the story about a character but they're not part of it, something about 3 just made it feel like it wasn't as good as it could have been.
1 was this funny bombastic space adventure ten times more entertaining that Star Wars was at the time while 2 is just dicking around on some boring-ass planet discussing family matters. It ranged from dull to painfully cringe-worthy, with short glimpses of what made 1 so good. Then 3 is a bombastic space adventure again, with much better emotional moments than 2 and not a shred of cringe-worthy crap anywhere. It's the alpha AND the omega.
>not a shred of cringe-worthy crap anywhere.
Mantis & family/relationship issues are in the movie though.
Was it? I don't remember that at all. That was the christmas special, no?
The whole conflict of Peter & Gamora is their relationship that doesn't exist because this is time displaced Gamora who never fell in love with Peter. 3 literally starts with Peter being a depressed drunk because Gamora is gone.
And you know, potentially being responsible for Thanos winning. But sure, you can interpret that as solely love sickness if that suits your argument better. Regardless I didn't find it to be cringe-worthy family drama, rather Gamora was a pretty scary space villain this time around.
Peter doesn't care about that. It's not an interpretation. It's blatant he misses Gamora. Like verbally told to you.
He verbally confirms feeling guilty about the snap in the elevator scene too. You've not a leg to stand on here.
Peter grabbing Nebula's arm in a drunken stupor and mumbling "I love you, Gamora" is one of the hardest-hitting moments in the film, anon. I don't see how that's cringeworthy.
Aside from him almost killing Peter in Vol. 1, I think the first movie and the holiday special do a good enough job at establishing him as a decent father figure, especially since his first act as a dad was saving Peter from being tortured and possibly killed by his bio dad.
this one shot they put in a montage made me want pete's childhood to be the focus of the movie
Yeah, but like I said, the holiday special expanded on Pete's relationship with Yondu, and at the same time, made that single shot all the more sweet.
>get your kid two blasters for Christmas
>go out later and help him practice with them
>he uses them to shoot his bio father, who you kept him from for fear of the kid getting hurt or killed
>he keeps them long after you're gone as a memento
i liked the part where Yondu kicked the tree over
oh i skipped the holiday special, sounds like its important for character growth though
Oh yeah, spoilers, I guess, but you should definitely watch it. It's kind of a segue between Endgame and Guardians 3.
Segue?
Mhm.
It’d be a perfect trilogy if it weren’t for the two fricking Avengers movies that killed off a Guardian, jumped forward five years with Rocket and Nebula being heroes for half a decade while everyone else was dead, and then brought a NEW Gamora nine years into the future. Imagine explaining all that shit to somebody who had only seen the first two Guardians movie.
Sure, but without Endgame, we don't get nearly as much character development for Nebula. Besides, old Gamora was a really dry character. Space pirate Gamora stands on her own.
>we don't get nearly as much character development for Nebula
>Endgame starts with Stark and Nebula adrift in space just waiting to run out of oxygen
>Stark teaches her to play finger football with a wrapper to pass the time, during which he's entirely patient and kind
>Nebula finally got to win something for herself, after which she has to process that new feeling
Frick, man, I didn't expect to feel so much for the blue chick.
Honestly, man. Even just that intro was so nice. Her giving him her rations and helping his into chairs and stuff. Heavy.
So is the movie worth watching if I can't stand manchild Chris Pratt?
Well, he becomes much less of a manchild by the end, so I'd probably say so.
Atheists are so cringe
Rocket went through... tough times
Lmao what happened here?
Raccoons like to wet their food because their paws have specialized receptors that respond to water, so it helps them feel and "taste"
Cotton candy melts in water
>because their paws have specialized receptors that respond to water, so it helps them feel and "taste"
Is that why they do that? Huh, didn't know that.
I thought they did that because they were clean animals.
Well yeah, that's what I thought. Guess not. Or maybe it's one of those komodo dragon scenarios where no one can actually tell.
Rocket and Layla's millisecond long kiss added nothing to the plot. They should've just stayed friends. I don't know why every mainstream movie has to shove in romance any chance they get. even when it serves no point. The movie and the emotional impact of the scene would've been no different had the two not kissed.
C'mon, Disney never lets that shit slide anymore. Kissing is too raunchy.
It was just a nuzzle. We see romance because they were soulmates in the original mini. Without that knowledge it could just be motherly love.
It was a bit weird, but it does look more like nuzzling. They certainly had the ability to kiss human-style so I think that was on purpose.
The Legendary Star-Lord will return
When High Evolutionary started mocking Rocket's screaming, that made me laugh hard. Something about villains who do evil stuff and then just don't care about the emotional stuff resonates more with me for villains as they should be unlikeable and charismatic at the same time. It is the most uncharismatic thing a villain could do by killing someone but then just dismissing the murder with laughter or apathy makes them somewhat charismatic as they could be seen as a person who has done this so much that behavior is the only way to continue doing such actions. But also the guy playing him made that scene come across as funny so I don't know if that was intentional.
There are plenty of villains that aren't supposed to be charismatic, anon. HE was one of them.
Okay.
Yeah I'm not criticizing it for that, I know he was supposed to be like that. I'm just saying that it highlights how being unlikeable can still create charisma. I'm probably phrasing it badly. Anyway, I just kind of found the guy's delivery funny whether it was supposed to be or not.
Oh OK, I misunderstood. That makes sense.
>HE has no style
>HE has no grace
>This god
>Has no face
>There are plenty of villains that aren't supposed to be charismatic, anon. HE was one of them
The frick are you talking about? HE drips charisma. If he wasn't charismatic then he sure as shit wouldn't be able to talk multiple groups of people into going along with seeding and destroying multiple worlds for one man's ego project.
HE has tons of charisma. Its just that he's designed to be utterly unlikeable underneath that surface of sociability.
>If he wasn't charismatic then he sure as shit wouldn't be able to talk multiple groups of people into going along with seeding and destroying multiple worlds for one man's ego project
I feel like there's a difference between being a wealthy and powerful egomaniac and being charismatic. Think about someone like Jeff Bezos, or Mark Zuckerberg, or even Elon Musk. They've managed to build up giant empires despite being creepy nerds. Most of the people who worship them either do it just because they're rich or just because they're tech geniuses who make useful shit.
In that same way, HE controls a lot while still acting like a whiny monarch. Most of the people who worship HE and look up to him were creatures that were made by him. When his goals became too insane for his bureaucratic cronies, they tried to turn on him, but he was just too powerful for that to happen.
Is it just me, or did the flashback scenes feel like they were supposed to be in the beginning of the movie but were rearranged to have Rocket's scene be scattered throughout the movie? The finally cutscene ends with a close up to Rocket's eye and the movie starts with a close up of his eyes too.
>did the flashback scenes feel like they were supposed to be in the beginning of the movie
Dumping all that lore at the beginning of the movie is a downright terrible writing decision. People want suspense, anon.
?t=38
I wonder what he sounds like when laughing for real.
That Tazerface scene
Oh yeah, thanks. I'll check it out.
why did Quill wait 26 years to open his birthday present?
Because he wasn't ready to accept that his mother was dead.
ah
Unironically, watch Captain America: civil war again, because Zemo listening to the same phone message over and over because it was the last and only remnant of his wife remaining is almost the same thing.
Quill lost his mother and was running ever since, he literally refused to take her hand because he knew what it meant and he didn't want it to be the last moment he held his mom's hand, which is understandable for all but the most hardcore autists. So when she dies, he also doesn't want to open the present because after he does, he will never receive another present from her again. By not opening it he thought he could postpone the grief (and subsequent closure). Hence why at the end of GotG1, when Gamora yells at him for his hand while he's succumbing to the Power Stone, he sees his mom's hand and has a moment of clarity (likely caused by being so near death) that he needs to cherish the moments he has while he has them. That's why the next thing we see of him during the following montage is him opening the present because he wanted the closure.
Zemo was a great villain
>I have experience. And patience.
>A man can do anything if he has these things.
Brought living gods to kneel with just a carefully executed plan. Great they brought him back
Couldn't have said it better.
Adam Warlocks mum was hot
God, I'm glad SOMEONE else agrees.
I want her to suck my dick until it shines bright gold.
she looked especially appealing at the post credits of 2 where her hair looked all dishevelled
Ooh yeah, and she's all angry and crazy-looking. Me likey.
I want to give her a history lesson in the archaic ways of her ancestors (for academic purposes).
I like how because she's built like an amazon, HE had to stand on stepping stool just to meet up with her at eye level.
I sincerely want this b***h to step on me.
don't be rash
Any link to watch this yet?
No, sadly.
From a quick search this one seems the best: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:A7B67BFB6313C63A9C3870CF8E72C89514D7DF5C&dn=Guardians.Of.The.Galaxy.Volume.3.2023.1080p.Trial.HDTC.x264.AC-3.YG%E2%AD%90&tr=https%3A%2F%2Finferno.demonoid.is%2Fannounce&tr=http%3A%2F%2Ftracker.opentrackr.org%3A1337%2Fannounce&tr=https%3A%2F%2Fopentracker.i2p.rocks%3A443%2Fannounce&tr=http%3A%2F%2Ftracker.files.fm%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=http%3A%2F%2Fopen.acgnxtracker.com%3A80%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.altrosky.nl%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2F9.rarbg.to%3A2780%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2F9.rarbg.me%3A2970%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopentracker.i2p.rocks%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.torrent.eu.org%3A451%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.opentrackr.org%3A1337%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fipv4.tracker.harry.lu%3A80%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.opentrackr.org%3A1337%2Fannounce&tr=http%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopentracker.i2p.rocks%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.internetwarriors.net%3A1337%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.leechers-paradise.org%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fcoppersurfer.tk%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.zer0day.to%3A1337%2Fannounce
Theres some others but most seem to be camrips
Now that boring Gamora is gone, Peter can finally move on to the best blue girl who clearly wants his dick. No more cuckery for my boy.
i was kind of hoping they would
A lot of people were judging by what I've seen normies post about GOTG3.
I don't know, in the back of my head, it felt kinda wrong for Peter to rebound with the sister of his dead lover.
But at the same time, I cherish the image of Nebula reluctantly letting Star-Lord cum deep inside her high-polymer vibrating robo-vegana, so I'm conflicted.
It's not a rebound if
>their Gamora has actually been dead for years
>nu-Gamora just helped Peter realize that his Gamora is gone
>Peter goes away to spend time on Earth
He will come back and they will finally resolve that sexual tension between them.
She's bald
But still has a pussy.
Hopefully the pussy isn't bald.
anon i'd frick a bald woman and then nut on the top of her head. be a man
So is the next movie just going to be them lewding the shit out of Pratt?
>used to rehab raccoons that'd be orphaned in my yard growing up
>those scared little chitters as rocket sees all the babies during the escape
The last batch was a group of 4 last summer that had their mom die suddenly. They were too old for me to comfortably try and interact with them, but not quite old enough to be on their own. Luckily the other female in the yard took them in.
They have almost human-like hands with the softest lil' squeezable paw pads ever. They feel like velvet and they absolutely love climbing all over you.
I really loved how Rocket's moment with them is completely without dialogue, the only implication being the racoon sign. Despite it being undoubtedly just CGI it was so well composed and paced that it just felt like a knife to the heart.
Animal pussy...
She has creepy little twig arms.
Rocket would have made her better ones had she survived.
I didn't watch and never want to watch the new thor movie, was that where the guardians pick up cosmos and start living om Knowhere? did anything ever come from the thor/guardians team up?
The Christmas special moved them to Knowhere and introduced Cosmo. Nothing important happens in the Thor movie with regards to the Guardians.
Who was the Jannetty?
What's a Janette?
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=jannetty
I am so tired of having to look stuff up on Urban Dictionary because some pinhead is infatuated by the newest buzzword they found there.
Being a Jannettey has been a thing since the early 90s
Frickable.
Gamora
>went from a daddy's girl to a splat on the pavement of a barren world
>dull personality; barely any development
>time-displaced version is way cooler than her
>normal-ass Zen-Whoberian pussy
Nebula
>went from an abused younger sister to a beloved leader of a civilization
>only gets more and more great development with every movie
>shoots her time-displaced version dead because she was an indecisive b***h and she's better than that now
>incredibly flexible with a ten-speed vibrating auto-lubed gynoid c**t, an unhingable jaw and Karen Gillan's figure
You tell me.
"OPEN THE FRICKING DOOR"
That car design is peak boomer tho
Yeah, Guardians 2 was pretty good.
it was a great, compelling movie
then they fricked the script up by having rocket show mercy to the villain. sorry that's bullshit, the bad guy had just done omnicide, he should have been executed
