Yeah, he's cool.

So overpowered they had to write him out of the story.

They almost certainly just sent him to a whore to teach him.

At the end of the movie I thought back to that scene at the end of 1 where he finds out Peter tricked him with the troll doll and he gets that "That's my boy" smile on his face.

TYBY

>>92202042
Magik. I can't recall what issue but the 05 X-Men were under Cyclops. Since they only had one suit, they had gotten old and smelled. So Magik made them new ones.

It's kinda sad that so many people is gonna know Michael Rooker as the blue guy from GOTG.

>>92204280

>>92201071
Given that Vol.2 implied that Ravagers frequent brothels, they likely ran in and did a cooler dunk on Peter as soon as he blew his load.

>>92204417
Wait, he was the chocolate covered pretzel guy right? Brandi's dad?

>>92204417
You think more people watched that than GOTG 1 & 2?

Would it count as losing your virginity if you did it with a robot? But that logic using sex toys would count.

Why?
He did an outstanding job in this and got some of the best lines in the movie.
>"Ego may have been your father, but he wasn't your daddy."
>"I KNOW who you are, boy, because you're ME."
>"I've never done nothin right my whole life. You gotta give me this."

He totally stole the film from Chris Pratt.

>>92206397
>>92206281

random characters might get ressurected

Infnity gauntlet can do all sorts of shit

>>92206397
If you remember the original Infinity Gauntlet story in the comics, it was a bloodbath. A shitload of A-List heroes were killed, liquified, turned into toy blocks, etc, etc. They could do that because a story hook like the Gauntlet meant that any damage done could be completely reverted by the end of the series.
Sure, it could just be a flashback.
It could just as easily be Thanos resurrecting Yondu so Peter is forced to kill him. Or Peter resurrecting Yondu to help fight Thanos. Or Loki resurrecting Yondu to fight Hawkeye. Or pretty much anything else they want to do with the INFINITY GAUNTLET as an excuse.

>>92200862
How does he know about Mary Poppins?

>>92206730
Because Quill said "You look like Mary Poppins" to him.

>>92204280
Would you rather people know him as the racist from The Walking Dead? Because I kept calling him Blue Merle during the first movie.

I almost cried when he got a ravager funeral

The fact that they had him roll with it like that hit me really hard.
Like, they easily could have made it
>"IS HE COOL?"
>"*snrk* y-yeah, he-he's real cool!"

But instead you could tell the intent of the line was more of a genuine compliment, rather than a joke at Yondu's expense. I dunno, I just found that subversion really heartwarming.

>>92204280

>>92206281
IMDB is like Wikipedia, anyone can edit it.
Take it with a grain of salt. If it still says that after some test screenings, THEN you can get excited.

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if someone planted it there to disguise the Guardians twist (assuming he really ISN'T in the movie by way of flashback or ghost or whatever).

>>92206601
>Thanos resurrects Yondu, Peggy, Yinsen, Frigga, and Drax's wife/child to fight the heroes

They could get really fucking dark with this movie if they want to.

>>92209317
What could Peggy, Yinsen, and Drax's family do? They aren't fighters.

Respectively? Peggy's monster tit game, Yinsen becoming Ironman instead of Stark (that's actually happened), and sending Drax on a quest to find cookies he'll never be able to find.

>>92209404
This. Also, why would Yondu be upset with Pete? He happily gave his life to save him. If anything, He'd be proud that Pete was standing up to Thanos.

>>92208006
I always really liked that line, and now I think it's even more poignant. Yondu is trying to put on a cool-guy facade, like "oh I was gonna bring the kid to his father, but that guy was an asshole so I just kept the kid for shits and giggles" when in reality he saved Peter from destroying the universe at best, getting killed and thrown into a pit of child skeletons at worst

>>92206601
How is fucking Hawkeye go against Yondu? Blue Balls could take on Ultron and Loki's army at the same time.

>>92208929
That's the joke
It's like when your grandma gets you What's Up on dvd from the grocery store clearance section.

>>92209404

Drax's daughter was reanimated into Moondragon. Moondragon and Mantis were in a relationship in the comics.

How hard is Marvel trying to buy back F4 rights? I'm sure they really want to set up Galactus after Thanos.

>>92209064
Also shows Quill becoming more mature since he did exactly what you described just after they landed on Ego and called Rocket a trash-panda.

>>92209317
I was always a big fan of the idea that Thanos would resurrect some old villains and turn them into the Black Order, specifically villains killed off by the Infinity Stones (Red Skull, Malekith, Ronan, Ultron). That would be a really cool way to bring back some old villains that didn't get a lot of time to shine, and there would be the possibility of keeping them alive to use them again in the future.

Another really cool idea is having Mistress Death appear differently to each person who sees her. So with Thanos we see skeleton lady with huge titties, but for example if we get a scene from Tony's point of view he sees his mother. Thor sees Frigga, Steve sees Peggy, Quill sees Yondu, etc

>>92209620
MCU Drax dealing with a lesbian daughter would be hilarious, specially if she's in a relationship with hideous Mantis.

>>92207801
Character death really is a catch-22. If you don't like the character then the scene is stupid and pointless, and if you hate the scene then it was actually effective and serve its purpose.

>>92209810
I'd really like if they brought Ronan back and go anti-hero with him. So much wasted potential.

>>92209404
Eh, I figured Thanos could like, pervert them into twisted versions of the heroes.

>Yondu is a vicious, unfeeling pirate who berates Peter for being a disappointment
>Peggy becomes Cap-level, blames him for everything he missed while frozen, how he ruined her life with his sacrifice
>Yinsen becomes a cosmic Iron Man, tells Tony that he didn't die so that a tyrant could ruin the world with his weapons, "it should have been you"
>Frigga becomes a cold viking goddess, gives Thor the Odin speech about how he's a greedy, impulsive child seeking glory amongst lower life-forms and how, if he had been in his rightful place on Asgard, she would still be alive
>The Drax family become stoic and hate-filled, as angry and broken as Drax was when he lost them (who has become markedly more jovial since finding his new family with the Guardians)

>>92209582
The idea being that Thanos corrupts them to fuck with the Avengers.
Maybe a "look what I can do, submit to me and I'll bring them back" turned to a "well fuck you, time to beat up your dead loved ones" bit of retribution.

No way Fox tries another reboot so soon, the F4 brand is poison. After Infinity War makes all the money in the world, I'm betting Marvel will offer them a nice generous sum for the F4 rights.

Fox is gonna need to counterract the financial loss of an X-Men franchise without Jackman and Stewart.

>>92210024
I just mean that Jackman is a box office draw. They're still gonna make money, especially with Deadpool, but they lost a feather they've had in their cap for the past 20 years basically.

Fox has proven to be way smarter than Sony, I could easily see them cashing in on the popularity of the MCU by renting the F4 out to Marvel like Universal did with the Hulk for a while there.

I really thought this was going to happen, but they're actually using the actual Black Order. That said they were in talks with the guy who played Crossbones to have him back so I think this could still happen.

Ego is too big for Thanos to bring back. He's probably bring back Ronan.

Press F to pay respect

I know that all of this is the core of the superhero fantasy - the desire to have gods swoop down and rescue us from ourselves, or those who seek to destroy us, and to wilfully discard their own lives to prop up our failing, decadent societies. The ultimate in self sacrifice. A higher power personified in service of the weak and the feeble, for order and justice. But there's a subtly fascistic element to this too, as these gods more often than not uphold the laws of the society they're beholden to and do so with or without the public's approval. When the public disapproves of their vigilantism this is generally portrayed as foolishness or outright ignorance because the hero knows what is truly best for them. And for some superhero fans this is a self-insert fantasy - because what guy wouldn't want to kick society's dregs to the curb with insurmountable authoritarian force. That said, there is an implicit understanding that these gods are not us, no matter how relatable they're made out to be. They're either born with powers beyond the capacity of man, receive these powers but still accept the responsibility of becoming a saviour, or their filthy fucking rich.

So how do you make an interesting story that comments on the nature of man when the main character isn't even human. Just an inserted "perfect" ideal? And you'll note how superhero movies never really comment on morality or ideology. Whether or not the hero is doing the right thing at all, whether or not he's actually the hero, is never the focus. It's not a story about men struggling to do the best they can in a world that isn't black and white. It's just "muh daddy issues" where the hero has to struggle against personal issues that have nothing to do with the actual problem so that he's strong enough to do the objectively right thing at the end.

THAT is why they're shit.

>>/tv/

>>92211242
ok /tv/

>>92211331
I think the point is that if you're trying to make a movie with a personal message/theme/metaphor the superhero backdrop is not just superfluous but actually cheapens the message you're trying to send. Meanwhile, the superhero backdrop is never used to send any of the messages it would actually be useful for.

It's a disconnect between setting and story that exists because superhero movies are shit for the reasons outlined. Just a bunch of holier-than-thou gods swooping down to fix everything in the objectively best way that is only objectively the best because of the simplistic plot and terrible villains. Any amount of moral complexity would cause the overgrown children who watch them to switch off so instead of telling that kind of story they go for an inoffensive "heartwarming" daddy issues plot so you can get your flashy spectacle and badass action to look at without the associated moral quandary.

Eh, it's not like telling stories about common issues by way of larger-than-life depictions of archetypes of humanity is a modern development, just look at the Greek myths/Aesop's fables.

Everyone is the hero of their own story, superheroes take what we feel the relevance of our own problems to be and present them in an objective light. You watch Spider-Man get chewed out by J Jonah Jameson and feel for him, because you've ALSO got an authority figure who doesn't get you.

Yeah, your circumstances are a bit different than Spider-Man's, but that's not important.

Problem is that the superhero part has no relevance to the daddy issues part. Literally none.

You could tell the exact same daddy issues story without any of the cosmic universe danger and superheroism. That's just an afterthought tacked on because the actual story doesn't hold up, for the same reason that comics and superhero movies have to keep ratcheting up the stakes because they fail at making you care with quality of conflict they have to increase the quantity of people endangered.

It's revealed it was way before the events of the first movie.
Yondu back when he was a ravager sent some of Ego's kids to Ego, believing he was doing the correct thing. It was only when both him and the ravagers found out Ego had killed plenty of them although none of them didn't know how big the number really was or how bad it really was going onthat Yondu got exiled, then he finds Peter, who he tries to protect from having the possible same fate.

>>92212805
Black Panther's the last one before Part 1

>>92212891
>Black Panther's the last one before

Lest I'm mistaken that was moved back. It's coming out between Infinity War and Avengers 4 along with Ant-Man 2 and Captain Marvel.

Spidey, I think, is the last pre-Infinity War film.

>>92212614
He probably has the last one.

>>92210501

>Ego is too big for Thanos to bring back.

Do you mean story-wise or power-wise? Because the Gauntlet could absolutely bring back Ego, just like it can erase all life in half of the universe on a whim.

>>92213012
Wait, they're gonna MCU movies happen between the two parts of Infinity War? That sounds like a bad idea.

>>92213012
considering Thor is coming out in November, Black Panther comes out in February, and Infinity War comes out in May, I'm pretty sure you're wrong

>None of the conflict in this movie would have happened if Rocket didn't steal those damn batteries.

>>92206281
>IMDB

Also, he might appear in a recording or something.

>>92213267
He just wanted Quill-senpai to notice him.

>>92213267
Ego still would've found them, but the Sovereign would never have hired the Ravagers, Yondu never would've shown up and done all that shit to help Peter, and they wouldn't have been able to build the bomb

without Rocket stealing the batteries, the Guardians lose and the universe becomes Ego

>>92213331
but on the other hand it could've meant no Ultron

>>92213331
This. Ego was still gonna wreck shit.

>>92213267
Ego was still looking for Peter, though. He would have appeared then regardless of if the Sovereign were chasing the Guardians or not. The only differences might be that all of the Guardians go to Ego, instead of them staying at the ship, and maybe Yondu and the Ravagers don't get involved.

Infinity War is only one film. And there's an entire year's span between Infinity War and Avengers 4. Ant-Man 2 and Captain Marvel are going to set up Avengers 4.

>>92213094
I thought I had read something that said it was being pushed to be between Infinity War and Avengers 4. Guess I was wrong.

>>92213560
it did get bumped by Spider-man, but it's still coming before Infinity War

>>92212639
I don't know any of that, and I'm not sure you do either.

>>92212639
I wasn't raising an argument for any story in general, I'm just saying the argument itself is stupid.

It's like asking "Why are there Chinese restaurants? Why not just serve normal food???"

That makes me sad, I wanted this scene in Infinity War

>>92213883
Would Dormammu be a match for Billion-Planet-System-Ego?

Did Ego go to Asgard? Would they care about what was happening?
Did anyone on Earth question or study Ego's long-distance jizz?

>>92212614
>So how's big daddy Thanos intending to collect all of them? They seem to be pretty well-guarded, and every single proxy he's sent out to capture them has fucked up and only gotten them into even safer hands
Thanos has powerful minions. They are a relatively recent addition in the comics, but useful in the context of MCU in that Thanos doesn't need to collect the stones by showing up.

>>92213976
Dormammu had to be stopped with an Infinity Gem. Ego was blown up with a handmade bomb by a trash-panda and some fancy batteries.

You just need to destroy the nucleus.

>>92213701
>but the next movie after that is basically the "part 2" it was suppose to be?

Nope. The Russos completely did away with that concept. They're still focusing on the Infinity Stones and Thanos obviously, but they're entirely separate, stand alone events.

Some people still insist it's a two parter because they're still being filmed simultaneously. Which is understandably more of a hassle to change than it is reinterpreting their approach to complete screenplay, script and story revision.

>>92214040
>but useful in the context of MCU in that Thanos doesn't need to collect the stones by showing up.
Thanos should be enough to collect the gems by himself either by punching really hard or just outkeikakuing everybody.

>>92213701
Don't listen to the memers.

It's still a two parter movie dealing with Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet, but Marvel Studios is marketing them as separate stories to avoid the two part gimmick.

>>92214077
I feel like that could backfire. Infinty War is being hyped up as a pretty big deal now, kinda like the first Avenger movie. But it could possibly be bigger seeing how big the cast is getting and the stakes getting bigger. So why not keep it a two parter big event movie?

>>92204869
>implying they weren't in the room critiquing his form.

>>92207737
It really was. Like, it's amazing how well done Yondu's death and funeral was compared to how shitty Quicksilver died. Hell, QS's death made me laugh with the "Eeeeeeeevaaa marrrriiiiiiiiaaaaaa" music that starts to play.

>>92214344
Well, there's also the fact Yondu's death actually carried significance and helped Peter and Rocket get character development while Quicksilver's was just Whedon's "WHO MIGHT I KILL NEXT XDDD" meme.

>>92214179
"Part 1" is probably going to be Thanos and his goons collecting the stones and confronting all the disparate elements separately, so he fights the Guardians and Nova Corps first, then the Asgardians, then Doctor Strange and the sorcerers, and finally the Avengers. He gets all the stones by the end, then pic related, smash cut to silent credits, no credits scenes

then "Part 2" is the Guardians or Iron Man gathering all the teams and heroes and coming together for a final throwdown

>>92214179
>I feel like that could backfire.
Bakcfire I think is a bit too much. But even if they do poorer than a two parter that might be more successful, they'll probably still make ridiculous amounts of money from them. So even at their low, they'll probably still be super successful.

>So why not keep it a two parter big event movie?
The Russos supposedly just didn't like it. Why I don't know.


There's also a rumor going around that Marvel Studio's insisted on changing it from the two part format because of a supposed recent trend of two parter films doing poorly at the box office. But I can't back that one up.

>>92214423
The thing is they explicitly decided not to call it Part 2 and it's a completely different movie from 3.

>>92201984
I really, really miss this comic.

>>92214040
>Thanos has powerful minions

Yes, like Loki, who had two separate Stones at one point and lost both of them
Or Ronan, who outright betrayed Thanos and still lost his, before putting it into a position that's even harder for Thanos to send someone to get

Unless he has a really convoluted plans, everything he's sent out his minions to do has backfired on him, and even the most diabolical keikaku should make more sense than "Collect the six gems by letting them get stolen by people who are very adept at guarding thing"

>>92209843
A good character death should make you sad, not angry. GOTG 2 actually letting the ending be Yondu's funeral was really smart. Compared to QS who dies, and Wanda kind of gets over it instantly cause she gets wet for Vision.

>>92214469
there aren't even that many two-part "finale" films are there? The only one I can think of that did terribly was Divergent, but that's an edge case compared to Hunger Games, Twilight, and Harry Potter

and hey I just listed all the movies with split two-part finales

>>92209897

I bet you, I BET YOU some asshole will say that.

So is Infinity War supposed to be just one movie? They refer to it as infinity war without a "part 1".

>>92214812
they probably just changed the names so Infinity War Part 2 is now Infinity Gauntlet or something

>>92214812
It's supposedly just one movie now, or it's still two parts but with the 2nd part being a different name or something? Idk, they just made everything more confusing.

>>92216954
That's the one thing I give Marvel credit for, they understand what they're working with.
They get that they have to change it up every so often or else the cash-flow stops.

They're at least getting creative with the characters and powersets, considering we got a fucking Ant-Man movie. They're also willing to go way weird with it, looking at Strange and Guardians 2.

They're set for maybe another phase after Infinity Gauntlet, but then they really need to start offering something interesting if they wanna keep making the big bucks.

If they manage to get Fantastic 4 and/or X-Men you can expect another half-decade after Infinity War at the LEAST before shit starts dipping for them.

God dammit, I want to rewatch the film for the funeral...

>>92217255
It's more than half as long as the MCU's existed now.

Iron Man came out 9 years ago, five years is a very long time when you're making 3 movies a year. That's 15 more Marvel films after the phase after Infinity War at the very least.

>>92217336
Pfft! This is the first time I watched the hat in that gif, and now I'm laughing.

>>92217354
I meant moreso from a casual approach. The plot structure was standard as hell, but there's no way a Doctor Strange movie full of dimension hopping and time-shenanigans and "the staff of the Living Tribunal" would have been made alongside Iron Man 1.

Accessable plot, high-concept content.

>>92209636
People keep shitting on the other Guardians, but really everyone's matured by the end of the movie. Quill just gets the most focus

>>92217457
high-concept means the opposite of what you think it means

>>92217481
I just Googled "high concept" and holy shit you're right, my professor told us the exact opposite.

>>92217457
Thor 1 had a bunch of scenes located in Asgard with super magi-tech, living armors, frost giants and the like. The Dimension Hoping was minimal and the "Staff of the Living Tribunal" just a namedrop without significance for normalfags.

It might be my own hype talking, but Dr. Strange was way too dull for what everybody was expecting.

>>92217556
Dr. Strange satisfied me enough with the insane magic shit. There could have been more, but it didn't disappoint me like both of the very bland Thor movies did.

>>92217556
Eh, I still think it was more "out there" than Thor.
Remember, Thor was pretty wild for the time it came out, but the vast majority of the movie was a fish-out-of-water comedy taking place in New Mexico. Doctor Strange spent the first like 30 minutes in the normal world before he goes to the far east and learns how to make everything go all Magic Eye Painting.

Thor's climax was a superhero fighting a big robot in a tornado, Doctor Strange involved a wizard using a time-device to create a quantum loop and trick an extra-dimensional god-being into accepting his bargain.

>>92217660
Plot wise it had the unfortunate situation where the source material is a mirror to Iron Man's which came before and is the face of the MCU. It was done well, though Thor feels more unique because of that.
My main beef with the movie is way they did "magic" it was just shitty ornaments to sloppy looking martial arts. Yeah the building bending was neat, but the budget could've been used better in some Demons of Denak or Flames of the Faltine.

There just wasn't anything insane about the "magic" or plot.

>>92217947
I'm hoping they've established it in such a way as to allow crazier stuff later on.

What worries me is that the after-credits scene makes me think they want to jump straight to the get-rid-of-magic plot that the comics have done recently. It's WAY too soon to do that, considering we've only JUST introduced magic at all.

>>92217947
I'm really looking forward to Strange's action in Infinity War, since I'd say he's only matched by Ant-Man and maybe Spider-Man in terms of unique powersets/fighting styles.

I loved the idea strung throughout the movie, is that the father figures we idolize aren't always perfect, and that's fine. It contrasted really well with Yondu and Ego, Ego is literally the perfect being, Quill idolizes him for being that perfect dad. But when Ego tells him he was the one that basically killed his mom, he instantly turns on Ego. Why? Because it's Yondu's values of that raised Quill. Yondu might not have been the perfect dad, heck his teeth and blue skin amplify that, but he taught him well and did right by him.

It's not the deepest film, but I do appreciate it. In a way it was a way of showing that not every father is perfect, but can raise a pretty damn good son.

Honestly, these "it wasn't high-brow enough to meet my standard" arguments are all bullshit.

No, Guardians Vol 2 isn't the most scholarly or serious film ever made. But fuck me did its overarching themes hit home with me. When that big Ego heel turn happens at the end of the second act? The air got sucked out of the theater. There wasn't a dry eye in the place during Yondu's funeral.

Yeah, the film has a talking raccoon and lots of space lasers. But it also made a genuine emotional connection with its audience, and I can name a few dozen "serious and groundbreaking" movies that utterly failed to succeed at that most basic of filmmaking principles.

Anyone who looks down on movies like this, movies that are well-made and have a ton of heart, for being "childish" are the most juvenile tryhards there ever were. Yeah, it's not Citizen Kane, but it makes you care about a whether or not a talking raccoon is raising a baby tree properly. That's a fucking accomplishment, man.

An emotional reaction from the observer is one of the trademarks of good art and it's a shame how often people are willing to overlook that for contrarian street cred.

Just wanna make it clear, I'm not shitting on you, I agree 100%, but I've seen enough people poo-pooing this because it's an action-comedy summer superhero blockbuster that it really grinds my gears, considering it's (for the most part) a very well-made film.

Imma bet there's gonna be an afterlife scene. The only way they're gonna sell Thanos being more dangerous than the usual baddie is if he kills most of the main characters in their first encounter. Of course, they somehow get resurrected (but maybe not old dead like Yondu).

I agree with you, and it's fine, I didn't take it negatively. To be honest, this film had similar lessons as Logan really, sure it wasn't as good as logan but that doesn't stop it from having something to say.

Logan was all about family and a little girl looking for a father and the father being a shithead. But he did help her, he did imprint some sense of morality and ethics. He was a father, not a good one, but a father.

It's a similar message in GotGV2. It's wasn't as emotional, in guardians and striking and down to earth. But it was still there, something I do not think a lot of Marvel movies have.

When making a film, it's not about the coolest shots, or the best cinematography it's "what do you want to convey to the audience" or "what do you want to say" . Guardians had a lot to say, and I commend Disney for letting gun do this movie, usually Disney films don't really give out good messages, or messages at all. But I do appreciate it when they do, because it makes me think more about it. IDK I love this short of shit.

Dance off > Pac-Man

Prove me wrong. You literally can't.

>>92219335
as a single moment, yes

as payoff for a joke set up way earlier and as an anime powerup, no

>>92219312
One of the things I really loved about Logan was how it didn't dumb down any of the comic elements. It was still about Wolverine dealing with his clone/daughter and they talk about fighting Sabretooth on top of the Statue of Liberty and everything. They didn't feel embarrassed of the fact that it was a comic movie, they just made a good film.

I feel like that's why the MCU does so well most of the time; it's a little formulaic, but they're all competently made. They're not embarrassed of what they are; the Guardians of the Galaxy films REVEL in Marvel's cosmic silliness, but still manage to deliver some of the most human stories of the entire franchise.

It's like what Michael McKean said about filming the Clue movie, "You can make a good movie or a shitty one about anything."

Oh I completely agree, with you on the last part. You can take the coolest concepts or the laziest concepts and turn them into magic.

Silence of the Lambs is a good indicator of that. How she has to go to the sikeward to interview the cereal cannibal. That could have been a throw away scene but they turned it into magic.

But yeah, having a chance to regurgitate this film and the complexities with it, I am really starting to appreciate the film a lot more. Probably one of my favorite MCU films and much better then the first one.

Don't be afraid of lore either, like you said, embrace it, treat it with respect and the audience will do the same.

The amount of work and care that James Gunn put into this soundtrack is fucking admirable, the implementation of the soundtrack might just be the best part of this whole movie.

The soundtrack is 10/10. I've been listening to a lot of "Father and Son" since the movie. Fantastic song.

>>92220530
it got me back into Fleetwood Mac

Yondu's death/funeral were the only time I got legit tears from any of the DC/Marvel movies so far.

>>92220530
I'd never even heard of that song before.
I kept waiting for "Cat's in the Cradle", but they didn't go for the low hanging fruit and man am I happy about that.

Father and Son is a legit beautiful song, I almost started bawling once I really listened to the lyrics.

James Gunn is a good fucking filmmaker, elevating a side-character to the emotional fucking core of the movie without us even noticing until the end.

I think it helps he has complete control of the movie as the writer and director and presumably the guy who picks out the songs. Dude is super fucking talented. There were times during the movies I was struck by what portion of a song played during a certain shot or just the cinematography being really good in general.

I've read through this thread and I have to say I'm surprised no one else is in a similar position as me. Did no one else who lost a parent to cancer just tuned out emotionally after Ego's reveal

>>92220244
Mr Blue Sky might also be referring to Ego. Probably Yondu, but it's interesting how Mr Blue only comes NOW, and the song itself comes at the end of a four-song suite.

>>92220859
It wasn't until that RedLetterMedia review that the Guardians films are a bit of an anomaly, since they've got the same writer and director.

Gunn is in total control, and that's why everything in these films is a tightly-wound clock. That's why the music and visuals synergize so well with the script.

>>92209897
>Peggy becomes Cap-level, blames him for everything he missed while frozen, how he ruined her life with his sacrifice
Peggy taunts Steve by claiming that she could have been a Super Soldier all along, if the world hadn't looked down on women and that she was envious of him all along. All that on top of telling him that he left her alone all those years with a broken heart that never healed.

>>92220895
>Song repeatedly mentions "Mr. Blue"
>Brings up how the hand of "Mr. Night" is on Mr. Blue's shoulder
It's pretty clearly foreshadowing Yondu dying, since apparently Gunn chose it for the opening action sequence because it's a really upbeat song (which juxtaposes against the action in a funny way) with some dark undertones (which foreshadows where the film is going).

I feel like Ego's songs are more Oh My Lord, Brandy, and The Chain, personally.

>>92220952
>It wasn't until that RedLetterMedia review that the Guardians films are a bit of an anomaly, since they've got the same writer and director.
Jesus, I should not post while drunk.

Man, I can't even imagine what it would be like to lose your mother to brain cancer and then watch that Ego scene.
Reminds me of how Mandy Patinkin motivated himself during the "My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die" bit in The Princess Bride.

>When I killed the six-fingered man, I killed the cancer that killed my father
>And I remember, we were outside that castle and I took a walk around this beautiful moat

I want Red Skull to be Thanos' advisor/Mephisto. I still contend that the Space Gem teleported him to Asgard where he was promptly put in jail. Maybe after the events of Ragnarok, he escapes and comes across Thanos. He would preach to Thanos about the idea that only the powerful should rule, all while trying to figure out how to steal Thanos' power for himself.
