I am surprised by the number of characters that died.
Gunn had a wild amount of input in the characters and their personalities, though. He won't get that in DC for the core of their brand. I started getting bored of his schtick as Peacemaker wound down, and this was a character that, again, Gunn had free reign to make him in his image; I also started checking out on the Guardians too as I am annoyed how he made Drax into helpless comic relief. At least he isn't as bad as Taika, who went from 0 to 60 to 0 in his two Thor movies.In Gunn I trust.
This is just what the doctor ordered for the current state of the MCU.
Damn movie had me tearing up a little bit too.
I think it’s not even an opinion. Movie had it all and easily makes the Guardians the best all around Marvel trilogy. Even better than Captain America.New Guardians movie was the best since Endgame, in my opinion.
Oh yea. I was just talking about the MCU.Gunn had a wild amount of input in the characters and their personalities, though. He won't get that in DC for the core of their brand.

Good movie.
So much resonance.
Best MCU film, along with No Way Home, since Endgame.
A shout out to the monkey attacking the lady's face for no reason. I laughed maniacally.
I didn't expect that the deaths of characters with only a few minutes of screen-time could be so emotionally devastating. I know it wasn't just me; at least 25% of the theater was openly sobbing. Lylla's last words and death, followed by Rocket's howl of anguish, coupled with Floor's panic attack and desperate rising screams of "Rocket, Teefs, Floor go now!" over and over... and the absolute silence after she and Teef are killed in the crossfire. I think it is by far the saddest scene in the entire MCU.
Yeah, Yandu, Tony's, and Natasha's deaths were all sad, but they knowingly sacrificed themselves for the greater good (and we knew Gamora was coming back in some fashion), there is something worse and completely gut-wrenching about the senseless murder of completely innocent, gentle beings by an irredeemable psychopath. Bradley Cooper's voice acting was sublime. That raging howl was eviscerating. It's been 12 hours since I saw it and I am still emotional about it. I think it triggered some things non-related to anthropomorphic MCU characters, with so many lost friends and pets over the past decade. "Hurts."

While I'm extremely optimistic, I look at the lineup that he has and worry a bit. I also get worried about all the Batman & Jokers running around.He's literally the co-CEO of DC's movie division. He's going to have vastly more input than he had at Marvel for the entire DC universe.
The Guardians were a blank slate; Gunn could pretty much do whatever he wanted with their personalities. He doesn't have that kind of free reign with Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, etc. Fans have expectations for how those characters act, he can't just do his Edgelord Judd Apatow thing with those. I can see him huffing his own farts like several other of the recent it directors have done and ruin a good thing.He's literally the co-CEO of DC's movie division.
