I guess I was just roping it into the general denials. I don’t pay near enough attention to industry news to know if anyones specifically denied long contracts.

Driving up the dump truck to play the bad guy who dies at the end is Marvel's trump card.

Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 was a lovely film. There were only like 10 other people in the theater for a 5:00 showing the day before release! Weird pacing and definitely not as goofy as the previous efforts, but I laughed, cried, and really enjoyed the ending. No one died! A very welcome surprise. Rocket's story ending with him finally just being happy is exactly where it needed to be. I liked all the reasons the Guardians had for going their separate ways. I cried a couple of times - Peter and Gamora's final scene got me, probably because I just got dumped a little while ago and goodbyes like that always get me anyway. High Evolutionary is a great madman, Adam Warlock needed a little more screentime but I dug him, and the body count in this one is kinda wild. Happy to see Phyla, the new Guardians, and that Star-Lord will return. Chris Pratt notwithstanding, I like the character a lot. I could not tell what the final conversation between he and his grandpa was about though. Weird audio mixing or maybe just my theater.

Just saw Guardians. Really enjoyed it. Quill is really only technically the main character, Rocket is much more central even if he's out of commission for most of the story. Also I really appreciated how much Nebula and Mantis got to do. Very surprised Drax at least didn't die. The High Evolutionary was a great menace. Overall I felt the length a bit towards the two hour mark, but it ended very strong.

It was a good movie, not top 5 though. Honestly, maybe the weakest of the three Guardians movies but still better than average for the MCU as a whole. I'm more happy about what didn't happen than what did happen in the movie. They did a good sendoff to the cast members without needlessly killing them off. They also did not force Quill and Gamora back together - thank God! Also why did Starlord not have his helmet or rocket boots? They would have come in pretty handy at the end... My one real complaint is that Drax is mostly just there for laughs again, which is frustrating. I like that he got to have his little moment saving the kids, but 95% of the time was just for gags. I really wish they could have found a better direction for him after the first movie (like they did in the SquareEnix game where he was excellent).

Of course Poulter would end up being perfectly cast after all the nerd rage. It had the worst bathos in an MCU movie though, when Quill tries to appeal to Gamora only for everyone to tell him that he hit the wrong button, and that's clearly saying something. live with fruit fucked around with this message at 00:39 on May 6, 2023 |

I gotta say High Evolutionary in comics usually strikes me more like the comedic version of Reed, blithely overseeing all manner of ethically dubious experiments. The obsessive unhinged movie version is way more interesting.

I’m not overly familiar with the Higher Evolutionary but I always thought the clear difference between him and all the other borderline mad scientists is his utterly amoral willingness to experiment on living beings. I always figured he was basically Dr Frankenstein.

That was good! I'm glad they gave Nebula more because she's great, and it's nice that they actually let Saldana act in this one. Weird how little Warlock there is but I'm guessing he'll show up in other stuff. Did not expect Phylla so that was cool, hopewit goes somewhere. I did kind of find the gore and swearing out of place, just kind of felt like a cringy attempt at the "comics aren't just for kids!" we had to put up with in the 80s/90s. Does Starlord saying "loving" really add anything?

I did not love it. The contrast between the grim flashback sequences and the wacky shtick didn’t work for me (I liked the flashbacks; the comedy just didn’t land for me this time). Also a mistake to sideline Rocket for so much of the movie, especially when the story centers so heavily on him

Comics High Evolutionary has a benevolent side to him as well. Movie High Evolutionary was straight up evil. Anyway, I loved it. It also made me cry a lot.

Also a mistake to sideline Rocket for so much of the movie, especially when the story centers so heavily on him Similar to my thoughts. After the fun of the first and even second movie this felt like Gunn going old school Gunn for his last hurrah and adding way too much gore and death and gruesomeness. Infinity War's hero dusting had nothing on this movie's torture and murder of animals. Definitely echo you about sidelining Rocket. He has always been the best part of the Guardians so Search for Spocking him took away a lot of the charm of the group (who seemed to be yelling more than usual). Also I don't quite get the ending -- he's the saviour of all these animals and he even allows the HE to live but in the mid-credits scene does he go "murder 'em" about the incoming herd?

Yeah, it had a surprising amount of traditional science fiction in its dna where it actually says things about modern issues like animal experimentation/vivisection. Which, you know, being part of a comic book movie, I tend not to expect these days.

My only real complaint was there were too many ‘music drops, tram walks toward camera is slo mo’ scenes. Other than that, pretty great.

As a trilogy I'd still rather rewatch Cap or Iron Man but the first GotG is one of the best. Never really thought about it before but I think GotG 1 is my #2 of the whole MCU.

The Cap movies were all pretty good, but yeah the Guardians are probably the most consistently good movies. If I’d been born 10-15 years ago the first one would probably be my favourite movie
