Just saw it, thought it was great, the action was cool, the character moments were sweet, the jokes were funny.

Only thing that didn't work for me was Mantis, felt she was undeveloped and just kind of there as a tool for the finale. She's fun though so hope she gets some characterization in the sequel.

Were the aliens in the post credit scenes anyone important? I got the sovereign reference Adam Warlock but not those other two.

In the comics he's aparently some furry alien wearing a robot suit that tried to conquer the earth or something once.

Human probably just means people in context, I think Peter in particular gets called a teran at some point.

One thing I'm not sure I got - did Peter and Gamora hook up at the end or not?

I'd preffer Peter just letting it go and them settling on "love as family" but if they need to hook up yea, just get it out of the way.

Is "the talk" still a thing? Kids have internet and tablets now, they already know about dick jokes.

It's a movie, the comedy comes from what the characters say and do. If you want an example of visual comedy shot though, that would be the "700 jumps" sequence.

I know an autistic kid who does the Drax thing, it's like he knows something is a joke, and that you are supposed to laugh at jokes - so that's what he does. Found that part pretty realistic, Drax still doesn't really get social stuff but tries so hard.

Though that begs the question why he didn't just take a vacation, being immortal it's not like his grand plan was on a strict shedule.

Sorry if this was covered and I missed it, but what made Peter special?

Maybe he isn't and he just tested the others too soon.

Heroes winning is a foregone conclusion in most media, it really is about the spectacle along the way.

Comic book Mantis is all kinds of bad so changing her is probably for the better.

I do agree they didn't do much with her though, hope they will in the sequel.

Rocket isn't from Earth.

Movie one might be, or has his comic origin been confirmed?
