Megaman's Jockstrap posted:I discussed this with a friend. We both agreed that we liked the film overall but it's a significantly flawed work. Be warned, I'm spoiling this poo poo: Yes on the triple down. As someone much earlier said, this was immediately apparent in the dancing Groot opening. Went on way too long and way too on the nose and then they punch you in the nose with the drax part of it, which felt less like a callback and more just what we had already seen. This applies to every will they wont they start lord gamora scene as well. BUT ALL THIS DOESNT MATTER IS WRONG AND IT'S ACTUALLY A FLAWLESS MOVIE YOU oval office gently caress YOU I LAUGHED I CRIED I CAME

What a silly question, Yaws. I have said I saw the first one five times in theaters. Obviously I enjoy Gunn's work and thought he was going to kill this one as well. You would rather I create alternate realities than complain about the one I got, I guess.

The Starlord/Gamora story and the Gamora/Nebula story just weren't expanded upon/different enough from the first to make me feel they were necessary to the film in a film that already had a lot going on, story wise. I will again say I also don't like that Gamora was designated to a girls weekend side story while the boys went off to play. Maybe I am acutely sensitive to this because it bothered me so much in the merchandise of the last movie. There were literally shirts that said Guardians of the Galaxy and just had images of Groot, Rocket, Drax and Starlord, with no Gamora to be found on it.

Phylodox posted:I don't think they were codependent, but I think his love for Peter's mum was genuine. Genuine enough to frighten him. Certainly more than an unhealthy habit. I think Ego was partly feeling out Peter to see if he could think "big picture", but I think part of it was him honestly expressing regret (or trying to as much as he can). Ego can't truly love her and give her a long, slow death. Killing her off quick, while cruel, you could sell me on. The tumor? Nah. I think gunn wrote that part first and then wrote this movie and was like poo poo she had cancer in that first so I gotta make that fit somehow. And it doesn't. He either truly loved her, or he gave her a brain tumor. It can't be both. And because it is it makes no sense. This movie wanted to do too many things. Sometimes contradictory things. It got greedy and the story suffered because of it. GoldfishStew fucked around with this message at 07:48 on May 20, 2017 |

What you are failing to realize is that there is a difference between killing someone to get them out of the way and giving someone you love a long, drawn out, incredibly painful death. He didn't just kill her. He tortured her.

No. He didn't love her. You don't give someone you love brain cancer. His character makes no sense and the heel turn only exists so we get Quills cool badass reaction.

You fools. There is a difference between killing someone and torturing them.

BrianWilly I like your explanation. That's fine with me. I don't think it is as good as a much earlier poster who said Ego could have got everything he wanted by, you know, just staying there and being a dad to Peter, but I guess he was off space loving and upping his probability of god babies.

I heard him, Celtic. Maybe he could have made trips and been like a dad who makes business trips.

The justifications some of y'all are able to spin are just mind boggling to me. Prequel defender type poo poo.

Not once in the entire movie did Ego feel powerful or dangerous or make me truly worry for the safety of the heroes. Gunn finally made a marvel movie.

Yeah that's definitely what I was saying. The villain from the original ghostbusters is a good example of someone who felt powerful. Even the villain from the first guardians felt more dangerous than Ego. The entire movie I felt a lot like the characters once they all got to egos planet. Just waiting for something to happen. Whole movie I just spent waiting. I can't get over how wasted mantis was. Even her creator spoke up about this. Only there to highlight a mans feelings. Sad.

Yeah I'm saying I felt that way the whole movie. Waiting for something interesting to happen.

Also not only is he there but Thanos is loving scary, too. Plus you had Nebula who is a sicko and the woman who plays her is great. I don't know. There is no battle scene as great in the second one to me as the one where Groot is grooting out and poo poo. That killing scene with Rocket and Yondu was not only sort of hosed up but also to close to the Quicksilver scene from X-Men to my liking. I also didn't care for Stallone the more I look back on it.

It was a dumb, run into the ground joke. This movie had the same comedic quality as the ghostbusters reboot. It was basically the won ton soup joke.
