It is kind of goofy how there's a big dramatic scene near the end that relies on Quill not wearing his mask for some reason.

Feels almost like Gunn acknowledging the complaints about how ubiquitous the disappearing masks have become and saying gently caress it, we'll just drop it all together

It's worth it for the sight gag of Adam heroically carrying Quill and his giant face to Knowhere.

It’s such a weird choice considering the rocket boots and helmet are such iconic parts of his look but would have made the ending trivial.

You could also argue that Stark isn't just a guy when he's a genius on the level of Rocket, who's smarter than a guy who built entire societies.

Scott is probably a better comparison. Star Lord doesn’t have powers without his tech, but he’s still got leadership skills, planning abilities, and is a master thief.

It’s also hardly a reach to assume that Peter brought his boots, mask, and guns with him to Earth, especially considering he arrived in a spaceship that he presumably still has access to, since it’s not like anyone dropped him off.

Except for Carol. I fully expect a scene where Peter steps up as the big know-it-all of the cosmic threat they’re facing just to have her cut him off and correct him.

Because they never really came back to that, despite having so many cosmic characters. A Cosmic Avengers with the Marvels, Guardians, Eternals and Thor (and I guess Nova) would've been pretty cool. site posted:i think all the kangs died mysteriously and we'll never hear that name again They were all on one planet and Galactus ate it.

Firebert posted: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. The push and pull of what might happen (i.e. any possible deaths) is what pushed this into my favorite Guardians (kinda the same reason why I liked Top Gun 2). And the ending and final battle being so personal and rooted in the character's arcs is why this might be one of my favorite, if not favorite Marvel movie so far. It's an amazing piece of blockbuster entertainment.

Endgame established that the Avengers were in regular communication with her, she showed up for the big fight, Shang Chi continued that she’s in contact with everyone including Wong, and Nick Fury seems to be in communications with her from the Marvels trailer. Carol may be prone to running off on her own but she seems to answer her cell phone. That seems pretty well established. The counter is literally just that Fury never contacted her before Infinity War. Which seems more on him than her. Or you know the reality that she didn’t exist yet.

I'm kind of torn because the three GotG are great, but you could also have Cap 1-Winter Soldier-Civil War. I think that would be my second choice.

Eh, Cap 1 is merely alright and Civil War is too intertextually related to the wider MCU to really qualify IMO, despite my appreciation for that film. Guardians might take it for me.

The Spider-Home movies are the other best trilogy in the MCU. Black Panther has a chance to be really special if things don't get derailed by Thunderbolts or something. live with fruit fucked around with this message at 00:52 on May 8, 2023 |

Yeah the Cap movies are good-great and Winter Solider is one of the best actual movies out of the MCU, but you could watch the Guardians movies on their own and not be too lost (beyond not knowing what's up with Gamora and even that is explained enough), and I don't think any of the others do that as well.

yeah honestly i wish cap had been able to have his own third movie but tbh i also can't think of a good cap specific villain for him to face off with, with red skull off the board and doing a second hydra story feels like it wouldn't have landed very well. inb4 hate monger because obviously that wasn't happening either

I think it says a lot that the main villain of Cap 4 is going to be a villain that is traditionally more of a Hulk adversary in The Leader. Although he's kind of similar to Dr Faustus in that his big thing is mind control.
