¶ Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 Review
Yo , what's good everybody . It's Jeff Blackestream and Kukugasu and we are back at again with another episode of the zone podcast . Today we are reviewing Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 and hopefully Professor Tuck will join us later on . But the show must go on and , without further ado , let's go ahead and zone in on this one .
Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 was a great way to end the whole trilogy with the original roster of the Guardians and I would say it was great that we got some back story on Rocket Raccoon .
In fact , it would be clear that even James Gunn said so himself to where Guardians of the Galaxy was never really about Star Lord , it was more about Rocket Raccoon anyways , and now that we got that back story for Rocket , he got that whole full circle that he's now accepting himself as Rocket Raccoon and most of the Guardians are going in separate ways .
It's not like it's the end of the Guardians per se . It's more like a bunch of them is taking a break from being a Guardians , like they're just taking a break from active duty . Meanwhile , there's going to be a new roster of Guardians now and for the most part it's all a movie very good movie , kukugasu . What are your thoughts on Guardians of the Galaxy 3?
.
It was fantastic , obviously considering the fact that the last episode we just did , we wound up talking about the soundtrack of Across the Spiderverse and of course we have Guardians of the Galaxy delivers their retro soundtrack from 80s and 70s and early 60s of great rock bands . It's just wonderful . Soundtrack was amazing .
Honestly , me and my wife we actually had the soundtrack for the first two movies and we definitely already talked about the fact that we're going to get soundtrack for the third movie too . It smells good .
Just absolutely amazing into it , the storyline into it , especially with James Gunn mentioning the fact that , oh , guardians of the Galaxy is supposed to be about Rocket Raccoon . Well , you definitely would have not guessed that from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 , to be honest with you .
But the third one , now we actually do get a chance to really feel like , yes , this is definitely with Rocket Raccoon , this is actually his little story . We get his background story . We get so much for him because all we hear is that his story is horrible . That's it every single time .
We don't want to hear , he doesn't want to talk about his past , we don't want to hear nothing about it . And he's like dude , well , you know , you hear about our past , you know what's going on with us , but then it's like , yeah , but it's different , we're not , we're not going into yours , and now we're trying to get a chance to dive into it .
Volume 3 was supposed to be Rocket and Groot story , because keep in mind that with Rocket Raccoon , before he met the Guardians , he met Groot first and they were going to Groot and even with the whole thing , well , alpha , groot and all that . But they were like , and that's going to be a little too busy .
So they were like , okay , let's just make it more so about Rocket Raccoon .
Yeah , I can definitely see on that . I will say it's also really great that we get a chance to dive into a good Marvel villain as well .
Especially this in the fact that this movie that takes place right after Thor , love and Thunder , and so we get a chance to finally get a good villain , because or the God Hunt , the God killer , he was a bit disappointing . I can't even blame the actors for all this , but this is , for me , definitely just the writing of the character .
So , following up on to that , we finally get back another good Marvel villain and it's like okay , we're good here , we got this .
It's funny you say that , because I think the move they're going to make now with the MCU is that , okay , there's no one going to do like no more Love and Thunder , so there's no one going to do the whole fourth , fifth installment . So that's why they say this is going to be the last time you see this roster of Guardians .
So most likely you're going to see the Guardians again , but it'll be more like a Okay , I'll put this .
It'll be like , I want to say kind of like what Star Wars did , to agree that it's like in the same realm , but it'll be more like either this new team is going to be somehow involved with space related Marvel projects or they're going to have their own movies , but it's going to be a different roster and it's like .
It's technically not like volume 4 , 5 , 6 , no , no , no , it's going to be more like a new title , but it's just pretty much a new team and they just have their adventures and shit One or the other , but it's not the end for all the Guardians , it's just that . It's just , that's just it for the original team . They're pretty much like Thor .
Funny enough , because he decided , okay , I'm taking a break from being an Avenger and he just went off doing his own separate thing , and that's pretty much what the Guardians did . And it'll be really funny too when Thor comes back be like hey , where did everybody go ?
No , honestly , I can definitely see that happening . That'd be really funny . I will say so . It's kind of one of the ones . I really wish Professor Tucker be on here , because you know he absolutely hates this Peter Quill . That he is not true Star-Lord , oh god . And I want to actually see , I can't say he redeemed himself .
He definitely did not redeem himself as Star-Lord , he's still just Peter Quill . But I want to know if he'd be willing to watch a Star-Lord movie just with this particular , yeah , the legendary Star-Lord , or if he's going to be like , I'm going to pass on this one . I would never acknowledge him as Star-Lord .
Nah , he's going to be like y'all going to have to watch it and it's like if y'all say yes , then I'm going to . Alright , I might look at it .
It'd probably be good , but it probably still wouldn't do Star-Lord Justice . To be honest , this would just be real Nat . But okay , I don't know .
I just really was curious on to that aspect because now , since you know that this is supposed to be a Star-Lord getting his own movie per se , but then now I'm also very curious as well , too , on how things will go , because we know this is going to be a send off . We will .
Unfortunately , as far as we're going to , as far as how things go , we are possibly never going to get this version of Drax back ever again , even because of the fact that David Tista does not want to reprise Role at all anymore . He wants to be completely done with Marvel .
Joy Saldana said the same thing . She's pretty much pulling out of the MCU . So that's why it was Gamora . It's like the whole thing , but the Ravager it's more like yeah , just leave Gamora alone . She doesn't , of course she doesn't remember Peter Quill , and all that because you know , technically that's not her . Yeah , she technically never lived it .
So it's more like just kind of look at it like what Spider-Man did with MJ , where , yeah , technically she never lived those memories with him , even though he kind of did . So just let it be what it is and just leave her alone .
Pretty much . It's one of those sad Montaugas , little sad let goes of things you'd be like well , it's for the better , but it's really not what I want it .
Yeah no-transcript .
But yeah , I mean honestly , based on how Marvel is handling things , because it mostly obviously , you know the stuff hit the fan , like first hit the fan when it was like with Black Widow , the Black Widow movie .
At that point is when a lot of people was like , yeah , we can really see what Marvel is actually doing with the actors , because a lot of people complained about it before , but nothing ever seems to really settle in . So people just like , oh , I guess , or something like that . I mean , disney always does what Disney does type of thing .
But after what happened to the black , with the black widow movie and with Scarlett Johansson being losing so much money based upon that that pretty much a forge and contract that wound up really solidifying that a lot of people was like , yeah , we're not gonna come back to Marvel , yeah , I'm gonna have to let that one go .
So I mean on that , ladies and gentlemen , this goal listen to the black widow review I did with Mad King Joseph Wabat .
Oh yeah , so it's kind of so . We've seen the breakup of the guardians is definitely going to see how that goes out . Oh no , but as far as into this movie , so start , I mean , the introduction was very interesting in itself . You know , we wound up getting the century just showing up and just decimating everybody with like add a more luck .
Yes , that's right , because when the first showed up , my brain was like is this is going to be century , he's going to play the century no no century set up with thunderbolts .
No , no century set up with thunderbolts . You think that he is set up with ?
that he is set up with that . Yeah , so I haven't actually seen having checked in thunderbolts , so I don't know too much into that one , but okay . But yeah , it was very interesting to see him show up , seeing every world .
I show up and just straight up decimate everybody and just like it's like right , like he just shows up , overpower Everyone just starts beating down everybody and he's just like yo , what is going on ? Then you know , he attacks Racket , raccoon , everyone's like no , rocket , no , and it's like what's going to happen .
And of course , this jump starts the whole story of why it is that they're going into this adventure . As it is . Anyway , it's to save the friend .
¶ Discussion on Rocket Raccoon's Character Development
But it was up being so interesting , like the introduction was very interesting because it just starts off like everyone's . They don't even have a chance to really warm into it .
It just popped like stuff just popped off and you , just like yo , we was living our life trying to be as happy as can be , and all of a sudden attack just comes straight to us Like what's going on . And honestly , this is just how some of the best stories start off .
Is the fact that's like it's not like something that just the hero has to decide and move forward into things . No , it's just straight up , like it means just popped up and just started , like decimating people left right , left right , and you're like what ?
Oh man , can I just say that I like Nebula's character development throughout the whole thing to where , at first you know being the daughter of Thanos , she got experimented on to just like Rocket Raccoon and is like but no one knew , no one knew .
Yeah , like no one knew , they thought her whole accusation based on how she said it herself .
Because not , honestly , I would think , like Nebula's , like what happened to her would be like horrible and I'll be like bro and you're saying what happened to Rocket Raccoon was worse than what happened to you , that definitely had to be bad , because I'm realistic to every single time you lose to have a part of your body just cut off or in place or robotics to
make you better per se .
Bro , honestly that's funny because that's pretty much a premise of Deadman Wonderland .
It really is a premise of Deadman Wonderland and it is and that's what makes it horrible ? Because it's like , hey , you know you're forcibly changing people . It's not like Cyberpunk , where in that one everyone's choosing to switch , everyone's choosing to be slightly different and stuff .
But this one is like you're forced into it and it is a lot of times there's no like there's no drugs to help minimize the pain and like that , you just got to deal with the pain all throughout , and a lot of times those pains are usually just as bad enough to make you want to die . So it's like , hey , lord .
Um , what else ? Yeah , I will agree that with the high evolutionary , the actor did a great job on portraying the character . And of course you have this village where you know he just wants perfection . And oh dude , listen , I like how this dude . His plot was with the animals to create the perfect life for .
And I'm saying you're thinking so you need to tell me that Rocket Raccoon has the same premise as Shadow's head talk .
Honestly yes , Literally yes , To create the perfect life form , to create the perfect being . But I think that the biggest difference in this aspect is the fact that Rocket Raccoon literally he made Rocket a super genius and forgot how he did it . That's the most hilarious thing throughout the whole movie .
He's like I made him a super genius , but I don't remember how I did it . The only thing I know is that his brain process is faster than any supercomputer that we can think of , and we are advanced in this entire universe , so it's like it runs faster than what we can do .
It's like what happened with Reagan and inside job went . Alphabeta reached true AI . It's like the creation preceded itself .
And it's like he's so mad about it . But he's like I just want his brain . I know you get disposed of the carcass , I just need the brain . He's so mad the fact that he can come up . He's solved a problem that seemed easy . Like you're not honestly that those .
One thing , too , is the fact that it was so bad , like how evolutionary was so mad when he was like it was such a simple fix .
And he was like look I couldn't be .
I didn't even think of this .
Listen , listen . You want to know what he had , his meltdown , almost rival poosie , when FF was trying to outsmart him and I was like , how dare you talk to me about ? I see it at you , you bitch that thing .
But then the bad part about it , just like I mean , but he was still smarter than you , that's just how it was . And it just felt horrible .
You felt horrible with like how rocket was , like he dealt with all the things , he dealt with all the experiments and all the tortures because he truly believed he and his friends were going to be able to actually go and live there .
And I think the line that delivered to me , that hurt , that honestly hurt the most , specifically where he literally had a high evolutionary holds rock and he's like you know , as advanced as your brain is , you really didn't think that you guys would not make it to the new world .
It was not designed for you and like that's the most heartbreaking line into that aspect , it was like you call it out into the intelligence and it's like , even though , but then rocket was still a kid .
It's one thing to have book smarts is another thing to have , like you know , that street smart , that growth smart , and it was that forcibly that rocket wound up having to get of like hey , you know I had my doubts but I really had believed , I really had hope and it was making sense when we first introduced the rocket all the way back in the first carnage
of the galaxy movie , where he's in the jail but he doesn't really have hope . He's like I gotta make stuff happen for myself . I can't hope for nothing . And you really think about that ? Yeah , it makes sense . This hope was destroyed at that moment where the person he truly trusted and believed in betrayed him and every single friend he had died horribly .
For some reason this is making me really excited to do the Attack on Titan this year review later on this year .
The downfall of Aaron Yeager .
Pretty much . I mean the whole setup , though is like when you think about all those people , they were lied to the whole time . We're like no , no , no , no , you're not behind those walls for your protection . No , you're in prison , behind those walls . Exactly , you got to go .
Y'all like she's in her to stuff . We just make fun along the way . Yeah , this absolute devastation area Yeager was like , and I took that personally , personally , I mean . Which makes sense . This is one of the few villains that people agree with . You're like I can kind of understand . I can understand it's more like I mean .
Plus , he's one of the few villains to actually follow through . But I want you to understand this is not an attack on Titan review , but just understanding the thing about Aaron and his dad .
Yeah , anyway , anyway , it's one of those things , yeah , like Rocky is one of the ones that even through all the nonsense that he went through , he still found that , that heart in him to still have friends . And it's still one of the funniest things I like how , throughout this whole , like the whole franchise , he's absolutely does not let being called a raccoon .
I'm not a raccoon , I'm not a raccoon , do not call me a raccoon . And of course , in this movie he winds up going to the cage of raccoons and he's like he doesn't say I mean he's a German he's probably rodent . And then he looks at it and he's like and it was all technically true .
I mean , I was looking a fucking mirror .
Look , the only person who kept calling him the wrong thing was literally Thor . Thor just called him everything and none of it made sense whatsoever , but literally . But most everybody else is like what they're stuck . They called him was pretty accurate . It's pretty much what America's like . You know here on earth what we call raccoons anyway ?
Yeah , it's like , yeah , you are a raccoon and it's like your name is Rocket raccoon . Well , actually , no , come think of it . Throughout the most of the MCU , his name is just Rocket . It's not Rocket raccoon , it's only it was on the comments .
That's the thing . That's just . The thing is like he was so traumatized he didn't even know that his species was raccoon . So it was like , okay , kind of blocked out all the memories where he could have seen that , okay , he is a species of raccoon .
It's kind of like what with Wanda , to where he didn't go by a Scarlet witch until , like Wanda vision Well , really it wasn't until you know like we had to call her the Scarlet witch and then she didn't really roll for that until then . So it was kind of like that deal is to where it's like we had to pretty much earn the name , I guess , I guess .
I mean , I don't know , I feel like he earned his name anyway .
I mean , no , that's not saying like just a setup , for I'm just like , okay , I guess it's like okay , he comes to terms with his past and all that . It's like , oh , now he's calling so rocket raccoon . Now it's like I mean , it's been the thing the whole time . But I'm like , okay , I guess he's not owning up to it . I guess .
Pretty much , pretty much . And it's understandable why it is . He absolutely just did not want anymore because of the fact that , like , that's a hard pass to deal with . So you just kind of want to get through it . Now , of course , I still want to get it .
I still really want to go ahead and talk about the whole scene when they wind up having to work alongside the more in the scavengers in order to break into the home . I'm pretty much like a Citadel .
And so , oh my God , that little funny situation when it's like , look , what was it between you , star Lord , and the leader of the security , and he's like , look man , like he's kind of like awful a little bit , and he's like , oh yeah , I got one of those .
And in terms of just terms of looks at him , he's just like I just absolutely hate you and I just want you to know , just like , bro , why would you do that ? Don't do that to your friends or your coworkers , but I'm just like constantly just going in . It's like I have one of those . I know exactly how you feel .
And you're like bro , what in the world ? And then of course you know like this he has to help conversation and get that captain has a conversation again . When he was talking about Aaron Warlock , when he was like , ok , show him that we mean business , kills this scavenger . He was like she's like no , what I said , show him we mean business , not kill him .
Like , demonstrate what we can do . That's just kill him . What do you do ? You know , in the cap , like I have one of those Not really good in the brain .
I don't know if I'm jumping a gun or not , but I remember in this one part to where it was between Star Lord Gamora and Nebula because keep in mind that Gamora doesn't have the same memory as the Gamora that Star Lord knows and she was like under the assumption to where it's like .
Oh well , you know , I thought between you and Nebula you probably have like a thing going on and they were like no , no , no , no , no , no , not at all . But then Peter was like but not a thing about it . And then Nebula was like why are you looking at me like that ? I was like but I mean , you're talking about .
He rebounds so quick on that aspect , like bro for it , really .
I just never noticed how black drives are . I was like my phone gave me the eyes and there's a beautiful said eyes . He gave you the whole , like bro , it's not the time for that .
It was not the time , but then Peter Quill never like it's never the right time for him , so he just does it whenever and it's always the absolute worst time .
It could be better times , but come on , oh no , then the worst part about it , when they had the whole , like when Quit Peter was having a whole conversation with Gamora , was trying to talk and was trying to talk through the suits , and then like yo , you can , you know , we all heard during everything that you just
¶ Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Discussion
said . Right , we can all hear your conversations . He's like what I thought it was on the private setting . He's in purple , the private setting . He said no , purple is everybody , orange is private . And he's just like wait , what he's like , what are you talking about ? This is so difficult to memorize and even dragsters like I even got it . I even understood .
I mean to be fair . It could have been better code code , you know .
Like it don't have , like it could have been coded specifically for every suit color , Like it would have been sense , but it wasn't . But then everybody else was like they did on purpose ?
Just to fuck with Quill , because , like yo , like to be fair and Quill defense , that probably wouldn't have made a whole lot of sense .
Yeah , I guess , yeah , I believe it .
It was like an intangible , dying for all , just for comedic bet .
That part , and then everybody's just like . We hear your conversation , we can hear everything . Stop , stop , oh , where are we ? Oh , I'm sorry , oh yeah .
The old backstory with Lyla teeth floor and I thought it was all beautiful with the way they had all that open ship and then they tried to break out and high up , who's there ? A kill on Lyla and the other chlor🤜 . Anyway , that symbolism went positive . There there's a cop too . Oh , no the shit .
People said that they cried at this film and I thought , okay , maybe it's gonna be a real tear-jerker , but no , can't say that for myself . I'm just like I .
I didn't cry , but I can kind of see why it was kind of tough to watch , especially the part where they were actually getting an experience and I was like , okay , that's kind of that made me a little uncomfortable , but Well , I mean he wouldn't make you cry .
Yeah , it's supposed to definitely make you feel something , and obviously not a good feel .
Can you imagine a soldier boy from all the boys saying that I didn't cry when I watched the movie because I'm not Like bro , like I mean it's still kind of bad , though it's okay .
It's okay , let your emotions out , man .
Yeah , it's okay to steal something about it , bro , but yeah , you know that's the side that we roll into .
But one thing I wanted to finish . I find it so funny that High evolutionary truly believe for a moment that he created the perfect world and it wound up just being a whole world of furries .
Yeah .
And it's still like so fun that everybody is just anamorphic and you're just like animals and you're just like yo . It's like just pick people , but then they can't speak English , what that they ? It's like everything is based on that . The what was it literally based on ? Like the 70s , I think , wasn't it Like ?
Even when quill looked at it , he was like what the heck ? Yeah , what 70s or 80s , yeah , yeah , what 70s or 80s yeah ? Yeah , but so it was based on literally that and I was like , really , like , really , this is what we had . You just pretty much recreated humanity . That's what it was , and he's like yeah , and we ? We failed . We failed again .
We just recreated human humans on earth . How so ? I guess you're trying to say that they're the most advanced species right now , which a lot of other alien races would be fairly offended fairly offended by , I mean ?
The high evolutionary he was . I mean , is he not a human being that's been Experiment on , like you know , like he asked all those upgrades you know , like cyberpunk 2777 type of deal to where he gets an augmented human . So I'm like I'm surprised that you're surprised that you ended up creating a human society .
I yeah , pretty much yeah , but most of those augmentations he did to himself anyway , though , because it was to preserve his own life , which I still find it funny , like I promise you . When he had his face pulled back , I sat here and I was thinking . I was like , oh my gosh , is this just like what happened with new 52 joker ?
Did he rip his face off and just have it like Stretched out over his face , over his robotic face ? And then it goes to reveal that , though rocket just literally messed his dude's face up , he was younger . Yeah , he put a whole mask over and you're like bro really .
Now I will say the only thing that kind of like got me for a moment was , like you know , we got a chance for just a brief little bit period . We got a chance to go ahead and get to know this wonderful family and then they all died . Oh , we're actually one of the funny things my wife even mentioned mentioned about this as well .
So high evolutionary obviously . Again , talk about how smart and stuff he is . He can make entire advanced civilizations , but he couldn't recreate his own face . He just had to slap . A man Says a lot about you , sir . You can roboticize your entire body , but you can't make a new face .
He's like no , my face is perfect because , you see , I'm all about perfection and what better ? Um perfect face in mind . I'm like bro , like it's ego . This dude loses ego .
Honestly , I think it's probably one of those things of like oh , I can't forget what you've done to me . I wonder if he removes the mask every now and again just to remind himself of what it is that rocket did to him .
Uh , I don't think he did it On purpose . It's more like Like maybe it's on combat , you know , like that whole fight scene , and then he just got pulled off by accident .
But then why still could he not recreate his own face ?
I mean , that's just the thing . It's like , it's like one of those things you know , like , oh , the six million dollar man is like uh , oh , we can recreate his face . We have to take . No , but I guess I just didn't come up . I'm like I'm getting there . No , this is good , this is good . I don't know man , I don't know what to tell you .
Maybe it was on this checklist and it was like I was gonna get to that eventually at some point , but my priority was creating advanced civilization and obviously I have failed , if that's over , you know .
So you have more time to make your own planet , but not enough time to make a new face . Okay , I believe you bud Um oh , I think one of the funniest things also .
Uh , I want not even funny . One of the best things about it , one of the best things right now , is the fact of will and Groots that whole little combo fight sequence between the two of them was Preston .
I absolutely enjoyed that entire , that little segment where they were able to pretty much get out of that closed situation , and , of course , we didn't after us get a chance to truly see how powerful , you know , high evolutionary truly is at that point , though , but that little moment of just being where they only Checked out just will , because they're like , oh ,
he's the only one that can carry something . Group , he's pretty much naked . We can see everything he has . He's not carrying anything . No , you still check everybody , bro .
I was like no , like I'm pretty sure he's not really packed . And I was like , don't you believe that ? Oh , what's anything else ? Oh yeah , the whole thing with Mantis and those pets of hers . I like how she pretty much trained them to be friendly and all that , and now she has those .
Oh , she didn't necessarily train . I know it's me on now .
She didn't necessarily train them , but you know like tame them .
Yeah , because they don't actually eat people . And this is the funniest thing like high evolutionary again . Again , one of those things is like oh , you supposed to be so smart and stuff . But then you know , mantis points out they don't actually eat people . That's not what they want . They eat energy sources . So they just kind of prefer batteries .
They're not gonna want to .
Yeah , yeah .
Say come on , bro , that should be class . You should already know that one , or at least the people who you have to study them , shouldn't know this information . Kind of the worst are dogs that have to be on a switch . Hey is a god dog , and what they eat , the energy . Okay , so those might just have to energy out of my pose . No , so what the what ?
What would they do ? They'll scare them to death . What ?
Okay , it's like in yeah , in hindsight that that is sound pretty dumb . So .
There's a couple things that point out how high evolutionary is not necessarily a very high evolutionary person .
I Mean I like his acting , but you know , some of his Best late plans just seems kind of half baked .
Yeah , and then also we wanted to getting the His so-called perfect race , which winds up being these little kids that nobody can speak their language but Drax is able to identify their language almost ease , because we find out what's drax perfect . Even though he's known as drax the destroyer , drax is also known as the perfect dad .
I felt special in that little moment . I was like oh , I can go and conquer and destroy all types of civilizational but no listen , I'm not that hard .
I'm not that hard . Listen . I like how Nebula assumed that he would just such a hembo that there was no way he would figure all this shit out . And then he started communicating to the children and she was like , how do you know ? And I was like , oh , you didn't know , I could do that .
Oh , you didn't , I guess . I'm not so stupid you just assumed I was dumb , but she didn't even add See if I'm not dumb .
Oh , oh , oh .
You had that moment like you know what I apologize , you are actually very good and then once I'll give him that good words and encouragement at the end of the movie , I was like what , I didn't expect that , but that's what's up . But also kind of got me especially , you know , getting the kids out , of course that little moment .
We had that moment where we're like , especially because we don't know how the MCU will go . They will definitely kill off characters , especially if they're like not planning on doing too much else with them or something . And honestly it could have gone either way .
But we really thought that you know , it had that feel that Quill was probably gonna die when he was not able to get off the ship . Now it comes to the head and then Aaron Warlock shows up out of nowhere . He's like I'm gonna save him .
And I'm like what ? Because I really thought with the trailer that I thought somebody was gonna bite it . It was like the way the drink was looking Like I thought somebody was gonna die in this one , but not the people that you thought was gonna die .
Pretty much yeah , like you expect , okay , the group is gonna break up .
I mean , this was kind of becoming expected , because even the fact that we know that a lot of the actors and actress are ready to kind of like branch off to do other different things , and so with that , you're like , okay , there's a possibility they're gonna probably kill someone , all so as not to bring them back .
And if they just have to bring them back , you know they always have more time travel route , because , even though they didn't have , because , even though obviously we don't have the affinity stones anymore which was a very interesting still that they decided to get rid of them altogether .
So , because we don't have the affinity stones anymore , we still have , you know , quantamania . We still have the ability to time travel and do stuff . And you know , with the looming threat and Kang still being out there , that reminds me that we still need to do a review on Quantamania .
I need to . I'll re-up on my Disney Plus .
I don't even get Disney Plus . Stop getting it . I don't know I might get it back again . My little kids like want to watch the little mermaid book , but Disney's doing some stuff ,
¶ Guardians of the Galaxy and Groot
but yeah . So I mean we got to have like it was one of those ones that you really thought that some people were gonna die and then they ended up didn't get on them and it was interesting . You're like , oh okay , I thought they were gonna die , I guess not .
Because we're just gonna move forward .
I guess I was like no , but we're still breaking up a group where I'm gonna go our own separate ways and then let's see . But no , the while it was pretty cool , though Like it was a really good movie , it still felt very heartfelt . It was very enjoyable all the way through . The jokes was hilarious as shit and so you're just like yeah , it was .
To me it was overall , a very enjoyable movie . I was one of the ones that I was very , very excited to get that opportunity to go watch Because I love Guardians of the Galaxy . It was the series is just always . All three movies have been great .
Even the little segments that they were in in Thor , love and Thunder was very funny as well , because they absolutely hated Thor . They're like why the hell is he part of our team ? Why do we do this ? It was so happy we decided to leave .
They were like , oh , thank God , but otherwise and I do like the very end where we have this new group of the Guardians and I like the fact .
So one of the things also I wanted to reading up onto this on Reddit and a lot of people mentioned it was very confused about how the group is so different Because you know , when group he was still big , but he was nowhere near as big as he is at the very end of the movie Out from group .
Yeah , and he was like yo , what the world happened with this one ? Why did that change ? So some people don't realize that groups and I find this funny because , since I'm playing Legend of Zelda , tears of the Kingdom right now , something just to make mention that is actually mentioned in Hyrule lore .
So , as a Zelda fun fact , groot is pretty much very similar to the Master Sword in the fact that the Master Sword and Groot both of them pretty much take on energy based upon who they're around .
And so , with Groot , when we first meet Groot , the only person he's really hung around was Rocket Raccoon , which also , you know , he was around his own people before Rocket , before he wound up being with Rocket . So he only adapted energy based upon those that was around him and with that energy he wound up being the group that we first got to know .
However , with Alpha group , what wound up changing is when he re-grew up as a seedling and started off as a seed and re-grew up and everything what winds up happening is is that he winds up being around Peter Quill and Mantis , who are both , in a sense , demigods they're Demi-Celestials and , of course , you know , gamora is extremely powerful having been around
Thanos , who was also pretty much a Demigod and like considering the fact that all the people they've been around , all the people that they fought against and stuff and continuously going up , and in that segment that they wound up hanging out with Thor , who is literally a God , the group wound up sucking up energy from everybody and because he kept getting all of
this energy from everyone that he's been around , from all these Demi-Celestials , the Celestials they went up against and the God and , of course , thor being that God , he wound up absorbing all of that energy from them .
And that's where Groot is so much bigger and significantly stronger now than he was before , because he wound up having a new group and he wound up changing . And it's very funny because , in fact , he never mentioned this in the movie whatsoever . It just happens . Throughout the rest of the series .
You just see Groot changing and they don't explain anything whatsoever .
But it's one of those ones for , like , if you really like , know Groot in the comics which I didn't until , obviously , but getting a chance to read up onto that , for those who really knew Groot in the comics , they know why it is that Groot is so different and it's a very cool callback to the comics for those to let them know of the fact that these
writers do actually know the comics , like they actually do know the original stories and stuff , and they actually continue on with it and they still bring those in . And it's a really great Easter egg to notice . On that , I really wanted to make sure I got a chance to mention that one because that was very new to me . I had no idea .
I was one of the people , confused as hell . I'm like why is Groot so different ? Can I add onto that ? Yeah , what's up ?
I like how you said all that because , keith and Mom , with this new lineup they have Brockett Groot , craglin , cosmo , adam , violet , one of the rescue children , and Adam's pet Blurred . Now with Adam , you were thinking , okay , of course you know he's made by the higher evolutionary , so Well , he's a pure nuclear energy source .
He himself is pretty much a mini son , so yes .
He's extremely powerful , but that's not who I want to pay attention to . I want to pay attention to that girl , fila . You know who she is .
I don't actually know who Fila is . I didn't get to listen to it .
Let me fill you in , essentially Fila , or should I say Fila Vale . She is the daughter of a superhero , mar-vell , and the sister Jenis Vale . So she in the comments she is going to be known as Quasar , captain Marvel and Martyr . So she pretty much had the same powers as Captain Marvel , you know , laser energy beams and flight and all that other shit .
So the funny thing is she was in Volume 2 , and she was portrayed by Meghna Nguyen , who was , you know , finished and Bookaboo with Fett and other stuff . So I think what they're trying to do is kind of age her down . So that way she's now joined the Guardians because , to be fair , she's been a part of the Guardians in the comments for a while .
So basically she's a Titanian slash three hybrid with those powers like Captain Marvel . So the fact that she's that powerful already , I'm like I don't put a pass on Grootin' to be that big because he's around some pretty strong people .
Yeah , he's around some immensely strong people like straight up planet destroyers .
This dude's gonna be as powerful as he is as well , especially because I think that the Groot is able to like , by this point , even before we got a chance to really see true Alpha Groot , that we wound up getting a chance to see that he's able to pretty much create giant-ass trees out of nowhere , and before he was only limited to what his body could do .
But now he's able to pretty much like immensely grow his body to untold potentials .
I still fucking love it , man . He pulled all those multiple guns . It just felt like Edward Kenway when he was pulling all those flint logs . He was blasting everybody .
Just , bro , that's what I'm telling you about that scene . That whole scene was just amazing in itself . Just , he just opens up his shell and you're just like yo wait what ? And he just pulls out all these guns . It just starts blasting and he and Quill have such great chords like gun choreography .
So you know , quill knows to get the hell out the way Right . And then , of course , like then how they end the fight and everything ? They're just like oh , there's nowhere to run , jumps out the window Okay , there was somewhere else to run . They're like and then everyone is going , is storming inside to try to rescue them .
And then everyone's inside and he's like all right , hey , where are you guys at ? We came in to rescue you , what ? No , I told you to stay put and we will tell you if we need to cut , if we need rescue . Well , we just assumed that you just wouldn't say anything . Well , we're out the ship . And now you're trapped in the ship .
Oh , imagine that moment , the importance of listening to your captain Right there , main importance . Captain actually had some good advice , one of the few times that Phil actually had good advice .
Yeah .
Doesn't happen often , but sometimes you need to listen .
I'm sorry , but for the most part I'm like it was a solid film , but I don't really have a whole lot to go into the film other than what we already talked about .
I really would just want to hear how tough it was when we were talking about Peter Crue , because you know , especially when we talked about the first two movies , y'all always had something to say about Crue . I just really want to hear what he was going to say on that .
Man , let me talk about this , this jazz , peter Crue .
I'm not going to call him no damn star . He didn't earn the title star . Lord Fuck , but man no . Otherwise it was definitely a very great film . I will go back . I will definitely add it to my collection . I already have the first two movies . I would definitely be getting the third movie when I get the chance , absolutely Just adding it into it .
We're probably just going to binge it . We're just going to watch the Guardians of the Galaxy , but it is difficult because it's such a huge gap between the second and third one . You kind of have to watch Thor , love and Thunder and if anyone in-game in order to truly kind of like see the growth that happens between , it's just fine .
But there's a really great add on . It's a really great move forward to the story . I enjoyed it . It's definitely a tear-durker for those . If you feel those emotions into it . If you don't , that's fine . In the end you still feel , like Jeff Black said , uncomfortable . It'll still make you feel some type of way .
But it's definitely a great movie , a great call-back for Rocket Raccoon getting a chance to truly see his story , see how things worked out Truly , seeing exactly how intelligent Rocket really is , because you'd think he's super intelligent already anyway , that he can just build random crafts out of Like he's literally the alien MacGyver , like he's straight up MacGyver .
He can create anything out of nothing .
Exactly . But then you truly get a chance to see how intelligent he actually is and why it is he holds back so much . So great film for Rocket . Great . Get a chance to see that growth . No bro , I enjoyed the movie . I would give this definitely a solid 8.5 out of 10 .
4 . Like I was gonna go higher . But when you said those points about the high evolution there with his plans , I was like you know , and I was like that was kind of dumb .
Meaning look , this is beyond Marvel . Villains have dumb moments . We know this . If you had the perfect villain , you'd never be able to beat him . They have to have some type of dumb moments for you to exploit .
Yeah , yeah , I saw it 4 . It was great , great send up already . So see more problems in some point of fashion ? But if not , then you know at least they passed a trilogy curse to where you know it's always the third one . That's got me like oh .
Yeah , yeah . Usually the third one's always like horrible as hell , but no , this one was not , it was good , Like it was still good .
I mean , like we said it before , even the podcast , like we were saying , like the way we're guardians of Galacy , volume 1 and 2 was going , it was so good . I was like , bro , this third one can't miss .
This is true , this is true . Alright . But , with that . That is all that I have .
Yep , that's all I had to . So you know , ladies and gentlemen , I thank you for listening to us to the end .
