Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Discussion

>>82337406
At this point, marvel isn't deviating away from a tried and true formula, if it makes billions, it's gonna keep going. And no matter what artistic critiques you may have, shit isn't gonna change. Yeah, the RT meter will say 76% for the critics, but if it's at 90+ for general audiences, marvel doesn't give a fuck.

>>82337468
I feel like they actually tried to move on from the formula a bit. the faceless goons were cut down from earlier movies, they were generally used to drive the plot onward rather than just giving the heroes faceless baddies to kill (the monarch ships driving them to ego/bringing out rockets flaws to be dealt with, the pirates bringing rocket and yondu together). plus they killed of a Yondu for good, he isn't coming back, and I like that Groot doesn't just get a reset button, he is stuck as tiny Groot growing up. Of course its pretty standard marvel at the end of the day, its definitely better then I expected.

>>82337406
This film is phenomenal. It's everything Age of Ultron should have been and failed to live up to be. I wasn't expecting to get emotional as much as I did over a comic book movie. This is honest to goodness how sequels need to be for movies like GotG.

it is a good fucking movie and doesn't even fucking ressembles marvel movies, if not by Ego mentioning the infinity stone an Nebula Thanos it doesn't have any relation with marvel stuff

No it FUCKING isn't.

I am sick of people who think that just because they enjoyed something or were entertained by it that makes it good.

Fuck you.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 is a two hour distraction and nothing more. At the very best it is mediocre. It doesn't matter if it's the most orgasmic distraction you've ever seen - if that's all it is, then that's ALL it is. If all a movie needs to be to be good is be a fucking distraction then movies are a dead artform.

>>82348037
No, it isn't.

Any statement of quality requires that there be criteria for assessing that quality.

Movies should not just entertain and distract, but also teach and uplift us.

Guardians does the former, but not the latter, and therefore is merely mediocre.

This is being shilled like crazy. It has no plot, the quips are awful (fuck that Drax shit tbqh just kill him off) and the resolution is one of the worst I've seen. The only thing going on for it are the visuals and they are nothing to write home about either. Mediocre movie, 5.5 out of 10 tops

>>82347970
Do you remember when the first GotG came out? The entire thing was shat on so hard that I find it hard to believe that everyone turned around on the sequel and is saying it's great.

>>82348185
>I bet you're one of those bitches that think comedies aren't """""good movies"""""""" by your definition
Wrong.

I think that there are some fantastically good comedies out there. Yes Minister/Yes Prime Minister being one of them which, yes, does have a movie-length special episode.

Life alone is not enough. We ought to strive for righteous life.

And no, I'm not saying that everything has to be a parable and that you're a bad person for watching bad or mediocre movies. I like Guardians of the Galaxy and Rocket is my platonic husbando.

But nothing that merely exists can be good, because nothing can be good without being righteous.

I guess I just don't feel the need to be able to tell everyone that everything I like is good. You're not a bad person for not having exclusively perfect taste anon. You ARE a bad person if you lie about the quality of movies to defend your ego because telling people you like mediocre films hurts your feelings.

I'll agree on the call-ups. Drax was a quipmachine this go around (not that I minded) and the pop culture references were lessened but still there (thanks soundtrack)

>>82348215
Less focus on plot was one of the things I liked the most about it, honestly. No mcguffin and Thanos shenanigans this time, just the Guardians going on a mission. On their way there they casually meet Peter's dad, with things kinda developing from that. It's why I really don't see what OP is referring to when he says the movie has tons of call-ups to upcoming movies when this is the first Marvel movie in a long time to have literally zero leads to future films (apart from the obligatory post-credits scene, of course).
I liked how episodic it felt, and how in this way we got way more backstory on the characters. I agree that some of the humor doesn't work mostly due to jokes not knowing when to end but the more intimate moments worked really well for me. The ending was surprisingly moving for a MCU film, Yondu's death and just his character overall were a highlight in that regard

>>82348805
everyone had a sad moment.
Also baby groot was annoying the first act of the movie, he was pretty okay later.

>>82348883
turning all the planets in the galaxy into ego is kinda wrong

>>82348883
I wonder how empty he would feel after he had actually succeded

>>82348922
I'm just annoyed by the focus on backstory. For fuck's sake, can we just once have a superhero movie not mired in the fucking past?

But that's the thing: without their backstory the characters have no depth, and aren't strong enough to stand up alone. And I'm not saying that the characters should have no history or anything - I'm just saying that I want a movie where the Guardians go on a mission that doesn't involve the fate of the galaxy or their deep personal demons. They just go and fucking do things and develop as people through their lived experiences. Like real fucking people - and good characters - do.

I'm not saying I want episodic garbage with stagnant characters. I'm saying that I want character development that doesn't come from resolving a fucking plot hook in the character's """back"""story. Why the fuck is backstory even a word? Oh, right, because backstory is code for a story that isn't good enough to stand up on its own.

I don't get what you're saying, Peter's dad was a major plot point since the last movie when it openned with his mom dying and all the talk about his dad was a guy from the stars, it was resolved in this movie

do you also think it is bad that empire strikes/rotj is about luke's dad that was mentioned in star wars?

>>82349058
I see where you're coming. Although I did enjoy the movie I'd say what you want will probably come in the next movie desu, with Adam Warlock being involved and whatnot. Doing a sequel with this much focus on the characters themselves was something Gunn wanted to do since forever so it was kinda inevitable in the end, I guess

>>82337406
I just got back from seeing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and I've got one word to say, fun. This movie was such a fun time at the movies with fun characters, fun direction and fun quipomatography. DC could learn a lot because there movies are dark and depressing and superhero movies are supposed to be fun all the time. I mean lighten up bud. You see a trailer for something like the Justice League and you're like "wow I gotta actually analyze the plot and pay attention that's no fun" but then you see the trailer for Thor Ragnorak and you're like "Holy shitballs dude that looks like so much fun my brain switch has been set to off". There's also something else about the film I've failed to mention but I'm gonna talk about it, the film is COLORFUL. YOU HERE THAT DC? YOU CAN HAVE FUN AND COLORS IN A SUPER HERO MOVIE. But wait that's not all this film features a cameo from Rick and Morty themselves in a scene with Chris Pratt and Baby Groot. I won't spoil it but I can guarantee one thing it's a fun colorful and lighthearted scene, basically a nerds wet dream. Also Kevin Feige is a genius for creating the first ever cinematic universe. 10/10 film.

>>82349444
>I don't get what you're saying, Peter's dad was a major plot point since the last movie when it openned with his mom dying and all the talk about his dad was a guy from the stars, it was resolved in this movie
I know, and I fully expected this, but I still think Peter's dad is a boring plot point that made for a boring film. We all know the pacing was off and the plot was pretty bad. Yondu and Rocket had better characterisation and development on their "we got kidnapped and escaped" plot than Quill did even with all of his """"back""""story.

>>82349473
>Doing a sequel with this much focus on the characters themselves was something Gunn wanted to do since forever so it was kinda inevitable in the end, I guess
It's just annoying because the focus isn't on the characters. Or at least, not any more than it otherwise would be. The plot is drawn from the character's backstory but the characters themselves get no more development than they would in any other plot. It's not any more character driven than the first one.

Basically, I think people are thinking that just because the plot involves something that happened in the character's past that makes it character development or character driven, and it doesn't.

Character development is how the character changes, and you literally cannot change the past. Character development driven by a plot that draws on the character's past is not "better development" than character development driven by a plot that draws on a boring mercenary mission that is totally unimportant to everyone and everything except for how it affects the characters. In fact, the latter is even better because you'd expect a world-ending epic quest to have some impact but keeping audiences interested through a day in the life of a space janitor would require some really strong character-driven plot.

Basically, just because plot comes from character past does not make it internal plot.

>>82349953
I completely agree with that, I thought that was pretty well-executed all things considered, and the scene of him remembering learning to shoot with Yondu lasted for a fraction of a second.

There's probably room for sandwiching it into a better plot.

You don't need to have Peter's dad physically present shouting one-liners down the barrel of a camera while the lightshow is popping off in the background to talk about Peter's daddy issues. I think a more subtle approach in a more grounded plot would have been even more enjoyable.

I mean Peter's plot is so irrelevant to all the other characters that they literally have to take Rocket and Nebula and Yondu out of it and give them a whole different story only connected by the most tenuous threads just so that something interesting is happening.

MEDIOCRE

found it really disappointing, plot was messy, villain motivation was weird. Worst bit was the jokes- in the first film it was more of a natural joking setup, in this one everyone other line was a blurted out crappy joke that caused some awkward silences in the cinema i went to:

its not ripe x4
groot brings the wrong item x7
not got tape? tape? who's got tape x5
taserface,taserface,taserface

it kinda felt like the script told a joke,then overly repeated it with no payoff 5/10

Am I the only one who thought it was one of the worst MCU movies? Literally bottom 3 along with Thor 2 and IM2. Completely forgettable and wreaks of studio interference

>>82351978
yes, you're the only one

>>82351978
Actually this movie felt like it had the least amount of exec meddling to me desu. It's pretty much just James Gunn's movie. There were no shoehorned Infinity War set ups or awkward Infinity Gems exposition.

>>82352073
So it was up to James gunn to write a bland story, force way too much low brow humour that misses more than it hits (including trying to make jokes during a funeral), use nothing but exposition throughout the entire movie and overplay baby groot? I thought he was better than that

>>82349101
>>82351166
>>82351608

I never expected Yondu to be my favorite character of this film. I wasn't prepared for these feels

That's actually the movie's strength and weakness. Side characters like Yondu and Nebula were suprisingly good while Starlord, Gamorra, Groot and Drax were pretty dissapointing.

>>82352242
Why are you acting like this kind of stuff is some kind of disappointment when it comes to capeshit? It's a Marvel movie, dude. Executive meddling or not if you went in expecting anything other than exactly what you've just described you only have yourself to blame.

They're saving her charater development for the infinity war and vol 3.

You can't really develop both Nebula and Gamorra without Thanos. And Nebula had a HELL of character development this movie, only to go out and face Thanos herself.

Gunn said that vol 3 will focus on Gamora, and we'll probably have a bit more focus on Rocket and his past, Gunn wants closure for his character.

are you talking about BvS?

>>82353421
It really really is. Rocket had no reason to be so alienating, he wasnt like that in the first movie, and Nebula just giving up on killing her sister because the plot demanded it was absolutely dumb.


Draxx had been character assassinated and turned into a fucking quip machine (And otherwise did nothing), the cgi was shit half the time, and the villain's motivation made no sense and neither did the resolution. Defeating him with a bomb, really? Thats ALL it takes to defeat a CELESTIAL? And why did Rocket even PUT the instant blow up button on the bomb? Just disconnect it dummy.

>>82353337
>can hold infinity stones without any consequences

Not true at all, if Gamora and the rest of the gang hadn't touched him he would've exploded, he was desintegrating after all.

I'm pretty much sure only the power infinity stone makes you explode if you're mortal, unlike to others. Time, mind, reality can, and has been, held, controlled and managed by mortals before. Except for maybe reality, I don't remember. Did it gave Jane space cancer or something?

>Not true at all, if Gamora and the rest of the gang hadn't touched him he would've exploded, he was desintegrating after all.

Yeah okay, but he still didnt instantly die like anyone else holding the power stone. He is still HALF celestial and can touch them without being vaporized, was my point. If you dont think thats gunna play into Infinity War you are fucking retarded im sorry. It was a big set up for Quill to save the universe in another movie.

holy shit how did you get that at all? Mantis is an EMPATH her whole thing is FEELING emotions to extreme degrees. Like how when she took Draxx' laughter and said "she has never felt such laughter before!" because she is a fucking shut in on a planet and has very little exposure to emotions. It wasnt some ultra great sadness, Mantis had just never really felt ANY sadness like that.
You are such a fucking retard


"oh man we were told by another character that Draxx has sad feelings. We dont ever actually see it and it doesnt effect the plot in anyway, but this is so good because we were TOLD he feels sad!!!"


holy shit man, you are the reason movies are dying.

>>82353556

>Tony Stark, Stephen Strange and Hulk are asgardians

There is a scene on Age of Ultron where Stark literally takes the stone with his hand and put on another machine.

>>82353582
I don't see what's the problem here. Every iteration of Starlords makes him half *insert something here*. He IS the starlord, it's not a joke title. Gunn takes it down a notch, to be honest.

>It was a big set up for Quill to save the universe in another movie.

Nope. This is Adam Warlock, Nebula and Gamora you're talking about. The guardians will have a SUPPORTIVE role on infinity war, buddy. You're talking shit you don't anything about.

>>82353606
No. It was the best song choice in the whole movie.

>>82353669
powers=/=still BEING a celestial. Sure he cant make matter anymore, but he is still part celestial. Do you think EVERY celestial gets their power from Ego?


Jesus christ you retard.

>>82353242
>the rocket thing was so fucking pointless, there was 0 reason for him to be so alienating especially since he wasnt like that in the first movie
Ehhh.

I could kinda see it. In the first movie Rocket starts as a neutral evil and ends as chaotic neutral. It's an "alignment journey" story.

In the second movie the now chaotic neutral Rocket stays chaotic neutral. It's not an alignment journey. Instead it's an interpersonal relationship journey. Because the other Guardians are now no longer incidental people who he has met but actual cohabitants in his life they trigger a "pushing away" reflex that didn't exist when he assumed that they were already far enough distant from him.

Which all sounds incredibly fucking gay, but most things are when you start talking about fictional characters as if they have deeper motivations that plot convenience.

>>82353679
Nope, terrible.

Because he only packed one detonator and not a fucking buffet of them.

>>82353715
Holy shit you are retarded to the max. Its already been confirmed Warlock will not appear in Infinity War. And I'm not saying its a problem, I'm just saying they didnt get RID of his celestial-ness, in disagreement with the guy saying that "it doesnt connect to the larger marvel universe."


Are you so dumb its this hard for you to keep track of a conversation and what the actual instigating question was?


And of course you havent even read any comics so you dont see how they are going to copy the end scene of annihilation but having it be Cap and Quill instead of Nova and Quill.

>>82353729
either fucking way I don't get why they made ego his dad when it's meant to be J'son.

seems they only went for it to explain him being able to survive that shit.

>>82353715

They didnt hold the power stone you fucking dumbass.

>>82353788

Truly the sign of an intelligent man. Pat yourself on the back.

>>82353789

>>82353840
>throwing pearl at pigs
no thank you.

>>82353795
but it doesnt need a fucking instant blow up button if it has a countdown timer. If there is one button that is tied to the countdown timer there is no reason to have an instant blow up button to, since you can just put the countdown timer on 0 if you want an instant blow up.


And once again, he could have just disconnected that button so baby groot wouldnt be a retard. But they had to make up some bullshit for fake drama and comedy.

>>82353816
Because Marvel doesnt respect their source material. The put a lot of colors and jokes in that makes people THINK they do because they dont take comics seriously.

>>82353873
>defending your point is pearls


AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

I think we can all agree that these movies are not for deep plots, underlying themes (apart from the obvious family theme here), etc that can make a movie art. Its just fun. And thats all it tries to be. Good entertainment that doesn't necessitate any deeper thought.

What I don't get, is why do people that dislike such movies go see it? They know perfectly well what they're in for, yet they spend time and money to watch something they dislike. That's the stupidest thing. Why consume entertainment that does not entertain you? There must be lots of deeper and more artistic films being showed at the theatre thay you would probably like betterx, but this is the one you go see? Why?

>>82353917
>take comics seriously

>If there is one button that is tied to the countdown timer there is no reason to have an instant blow up button to, since you can just put the countdown timer on 0 if you want an instant blow up.
Yeah, okay anon.

Let me tell you a secret: the instant blow up button isn't meant to be used. If you press the instant blow up button you die to. The instant blow up button isn't for moments when you can take a smoke break and fiddle with the buttons on the back to reset the timer. The instant blow up button is for when shit's fucked.

How retarded are you not to fucking get this?

>you could just disconnect it
Maybe the screws on the back of the detonator that cover the PCB are flathead and Rocket only had a Phillips on him you idiot. This isn't even nitpicky, this is just fucking retarded. He clearly wasn't planning to have to use Groot to plant the bomb, and that's why the bomb was prepared for his use and not Groot's use.

>>82353606
I would love Skynyrd in GOTG but Father and Son was perfect desu

Would like this in Vol. 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBmtaFq0kvQ

>>82353939
I get invited to screenings as part of my job. I dont pay to see Marvel movies.


Also "fun" is meaningless in your context. I didnt have fun watching GotG2. I have fun with engaging movies or movies that display excellent craft. Movies that dont break my immersion by having me question the character's logic or having shitty jokes that take me out of the action.
Mad Max is fun. John Wick is fun. Logan was fun. I even had fun with parts of Live by Night. This was not fun.

>>82353799

Nah, you're the dense one. His "celestial-ness" is gone now, it's done for. He's a mortal, the fact he could hold the power stone was only relevant on the first volume of the guardians of the galaxy.

Never said that Adam Warlock will feature on infinity war, just said which characters on the cosmic side might have a shoot at killing Thanos. By the way, Thanos won't be defeated on avangers 3, but 4 instead. Guardians vol 3 is coming after avangers 3, 4 will reunite all the heroes to defeat Thanos.

>>82353822
Get ready to rage when Captain America holds an infinity stone, then.
I'm pretty sure a mortal held an infinity stone before, it doesn't make a difference if nobody did, 'tho. Only the power stones makes you go kaboom. The others one might corrupt and overwhelm mortals, but nothing compared to the power stone. Doctor Strange pretty much confirmed this when Strange was able to control the time stone even if he wasn't directly holding it.

>>82353973
oh I got the family theme, it was shoved in your fucking face "IM YOUR DADDY!" It was just fucking pointless because it was the theme of the first movie, just done even simpler.

>>82353939
>What I don't get, is why do people that dislike such movies go see it?
Because the characters, the comedy, and the execution of the tired plot, are juuuust good enough to make it worth my money. So I go watch it and am left full of bitter visions of what might have been haunting the fun that I had, and so likewise I can only admit to the fun that I had through a haze of bitter derision.

Because I am a /tv/ poster.

Then why even design it in the first place, and why not disconnect it if you dont want groot to use it?

What? We literally see the wires plugging the button into the machine. He could have just cut that wire or literally pulled it out and disconnected it. Dont use the "but that might have triggered it!" argument, because thats not how buttons work.

You know what, I like the GotG movies.
They're not Reddit.
They're not even Marvel.
What makes them so good, what makes them stand out is that they are clearly James Gunn movies. Son of a bitch lucked out and got handed a property which he could shape into his own personal playground and, unlike Edgar Wright with his Ant-Man flick, one that he got mostly left alone in, so he could just go wild. I mean, Howard the Duck was not a Marvel executive decision, and you have to respect a man who fights hard to be able to keep that in.
He has clear love and respect for the source material, unlike a certain revered director in these parts who is more in love with himself and blatant Christ motifs, and is one of the few working directors out there that manages his own Facebook page personally instead of just handing that over to a paid intern because he clearly loves interacting with fans.

>>82354047
>His "celestial-ness" is gone now, it's done for.

So if my dad dies, I stop being half jewish? Is that how genetics work in your mind? Being celestial just gives him the ability to control the light. His genes arent just gone because the light is.


You stupid retard.

>>82353606

>>82354159
After watching guardians 2 I wonder if Marvel regrets fucking up with Edgar Wright and wonder if they said to Taika Waititi "make something like guardians of galaxy" and if they gave him creative freedom

>>82354102

show me one part in the movie where she displays a level of sadness anywhere close to draxx? You literally said she couldnt hold his sadness, yet he only lost a wife and child. Are you saying seeing a man slaughter his children over and over again isnt worse than losing a single wife and child? Or isnt even comparable? Which is it?
Also, once again, you are retarded for thinking a scene where you are being TOLD someone is sad, and it never coming up again in any meaningful way, is good.

>>82354132

Maybe ask the people in real fucking life who really do put instant detonation triggers on their detonators, you fucking retard.

Or use your fucking brain and realise that when shit's fucked you might need your bomb to go off right fucking now and not in twenty minutes.

>and why not disconnect it if you dont want groot to use it?
What makes you think he could have?

>We literally see the wires plugging the button into the machine. He could have just cut that wire or literally pulled it out and disconnected it.
Anon, when you cut wires on bomb detonators-

>Dont use the "but that might have triggered it!" argument, because thats not how buttons work.
YES IT FUCKING IS.

If I am designing a bomb for military use my biggest concern (apart from operator safety) is that someone will disarm the bomb. So, because I am not a fucking retard, I have continuous current through the button which, when INTERRUPTED, causes the detonation. Pressing the button interrupts the current, causing detonation. CUTTING THE WIRES THAT CARRY THE CONTINUOUS CURRENT also causes detonation.

>someone whose two closest friends are professional mechanical engineers for an props/FX shop
Oh wow, look at two professions which have virtually fucking nothing in common with combat engineering, something which my father is for the RAE, and I literally just asked him how military detonators work. Wanna guess what his answer was?

It's a fun movie to watch. But they should have build the bad guy up throughout the movie.
Plus the comment of Ego that turned Quille against him was presented in such a dumb way that it was barely believeable.

Its a missed oppertunity. And if you're fighting a planet you could have done so much more than what they did.

>>82354193

Have you seen the movie? Ego straight up tells him so, he only has power while he's on the planet, if the light is gone, his celestial genes are as good as your cancerous genes. He is only immortal if he bathes on the light of Ego's planet. Guess what? Ego exploded, the planet is gone, never to come back, as any good ol' marvel planet. This means, the far extend of his celestial genes now is making him being able to hold the infinity stone without desintegrating in less than 10 seconds. Nothing more, nothing less. This doesn't mean he's going to use it against Thanos, he won't. It served as a plot device only on the first guardians.

You're talking shit about stuff you don't know anything about. By killing Ego, he made himself a mortal, a snowflakey mortal, but a mortal nonetheless.

>>82354214
I never said they didnt, but its still retarded because that was the whole theme of the first movie and all the "Arcs" you posted were barebones and forced as fuck.
Nebula tries to kill Gamora until she saves her life (again) and then suddenly stops because the plot demands it.
Rocket was alienating for NO REASON and wasnt like that in the first movie. Yondu somehow seeing himself in Rocket was extremely shitty and unnatural. They are really nothing alike as characters and James Gunn basically undid what little characterization there was for Yondu in GotG to force a fake arc.
Draxx being the last of his planet didnt matter one lick. He just talked about it with Mantis and that was it. He didnt change in anyway or form. Same with the Mantis thing, all that it gave us was Mantis added to the team. Big whoop.


>And the main plot that family is not only held together by blood

Holy shit, literally the plot of the first movie. "The family you choose"

>>82354080
Who defends it? I just go for entertainment. You take serious all the fucking movies you watch? Man, what wrong with you?

>>82354425
and what is the matter of the two movies having the same theme? star wars had the same theme about family for 7 movies now, I don't get what you want from it, you're not going to get Chinatown or Casablanca out of a comedy action movie about space talking raccoon

>>82337406
>first movie comes out

Kek. This board

Basically what I'm getting from this thread is that the movie overall is average at best, with a few key scenes that stand out, and a catchy soundtrack... sounds about on par with every other marvel film if you ask me, what's all the fuss about?

This film is fuckin shit

>>82354534
it is not, if it didn't have the marvel logo at the start could easily pass as its own franchise and it is clearly a james gunn movie not a "marvel" movie like thor, avengers, iron man past 1 etc

>>82354534
A lot of scenes are rememberable. But they are also incredibly B-comedy lame.

Nobody, except suicide bombers, but instant detonation ON a bomb you stupid dumb ass. I can't believe you really thought those words you typed were worth typing. Like seriously, are you a child?
>Or use your fucking brain and realise that when shit's fucked you might need your bomb to go off right fucking now and not in twenty minutes.

Again, the timer could just be set to 0:00 really easy. Rocket set the time in less than a second. You dumb.
>What makes you think he could have?
Because I could literally see the wires connecting the button to the bomb. Pic related, literally just cut the wire.
>YES IT FUCKING IS.
No it doesnt. Disconnecting a button doesnt do that, that shit is just in bullshit movies. And even then when they do the "cut the right wire!" bullshit, its the wires IN the bomb dumbass, not the ones connecting the buttons.
>If I am designing a bomb for military use my biggest concern (apart from operator safety) is that someone will disarm the bomb. So, because I am not a fucking retard, I have continuous current through the button which, when INTERRUPTED, causes the detonation. Pressing the button interrupts the current, causing detonation. CUTTING THE WIRES THAT CARRY THE CONTINUOUS CURRENT also causes detonation.
How, in your mind, does disconnecting the instant blow up button disarm the bomb? Im really curious for why you think that works that way. I think its because you are retarded. Because what you describe was basically a deadman switch, and the bomb was not that.


>Oh wow, look at two professions which have virtually fucking nothing in common with combat engineering, something which my father is for the RAE, and I literally just asked him how military detonators work. Wanna guess what his answer was?

His answer was that you would never but an instant blow up button ON the actual bomb.

>>82354484
welcome to 4chan! all is retarded, faggot and reddit... oh, and KINO.

>>82354586

It already kinda is it's own franchise in a way. Probably bigger than the avengers, or as big by now, and that meta joke Rocky made about them jacking up their prices because they're two times galaxy saviors says alot. Gunn probably has more freedom than any other director tied to the MCU.

>>82354407
I have the seen it, and never does Ego go "when the light goes away, so will all your celestial genetics!" Just the powers (which means the manipulation of the light you dumbass)


You really dont understand genetics at all.


> He is only immortal if he bathes on the light of Ego's planet.

No where does anyone say that. They say he is immortal, and he will lose that immortality if the planet dies (because its fair to assume the light keeps them immortal, not that he loses his celestial genes if the light is gone. Its like kryptonians and yellow sunlight. They dont just stop being kryptonians if there is no yellow sunlight around, they just dont have powers).
You are so retarded.
> This means, the far extend of his celestial genes now is making him being able to hold the infinity stone without desintegrating in less than 10 seconds

Thats exactly what ive been saying, and if you dont think this will be relevant to Infinity War you are retarded.

Its literally a parody of Guardians of the Galaxy.

>>82354586

Regardless if marvel's logo is on it or not, the general consensus seems to be that it's an average film with few good scenes. Nothing wrong with a film being average, but saying it's good just because it may have a few redeeming moments is dumb... batman v superman has some good moments in it, still overall considered shit.

>>82354485
Its lazy as fuck, and Star Wars did NOT have the same theme about family. In fact the "family" themes are very secondary to Star Wars.


And like I said the way they were done this time was really bad and unnatural.


>you're not going to get Chinatown or Casablanca out of a comedy action movie about space talking raccoon

I hate this response so much. I expected competence and not lazy assgrab nonsense. It Mad Max can manage to be dumb action that is still well done and carries a different theme in every movie, then so can the Marvel movies.

>>82354747
It is not just average, it is really good.

>>82354460
>hahaha its just entertainment turn off your brain!!!

nope, i like to be stimulated by art. for me that is fun and entertaining.

>>82354705

this

>Its lazy as fuck, and Star Wars did NOT have the same theme about family. In fact the "family" themes are very secondary to Star Wars.
Opinion discarded, you're an idiot.

>>82354796
no it doesnt. Ego's body was an extension of his brain which was in the planet. His core being was in the planet, thats why he had to return. Quill's brain is IN his body.


Jesus christ, its like the entire movie going public is retarded.

>>82354819

you are really not very smart.

>>82354830
Quille has no known power of its own. He literally draws his power from Ego. Not from his own brain.

>>82354705

You keep bashing the point that I said his celestial genes would be gone for the sake of your argument, I never implied that, just said tha they are now useless, because it only works when he's walking on the surface of his dad and has other minor effect anywhere else.

The fact that he can hold a power stone for more than a couple of seconds really don't give them any advantage, you're being paranoid by saying this is going to be relevant during infinity war, you should be worried about the other earth super powered mortals that will probably hold an infinity stone during the war and making your mind go bananas, not Quill. Quill is the only one with a plausible reason to hold one, and he won't.

Unless you're american and you think Quill will stole the power gem, make all avangers hug him and kill Thanos as if they would repeat what happened during the final battle of GoG vol 1.

>>82354591

I figured this movie would be the same as the last, tries slightly too hard to be funny and has some cool action. What I would consider to personally be a good movie is one that a) makes me think about things beyond the flashing lights and explosions. And b) makes me want to rewatch it in hopes I'll get a better understand of certain concepts I may have overlooked. I find it hard to believe this film accomplishes either of those with anyone who's seen it.

>>82354931
It has pretty neat flashy lights though.

>>82354790
Is it really good, or are there specific good scenes that make you say that? there's a huge difference. That movie 43 film was a complete pile of shit if you ask me, but there was that one basketball skit they did that was good in my opinion, I would by no means consider that movie good or even average.

>>82354611
>Nobody, except suicide bombers, but instant detonation ON a bomb you stupid dumb ass.
Good thing it's only a fucking detonator you FUCKING RETARD.

Rocket takes an OFF THE SHELF DETONATOR WITH NO BOMBS ATTACHED TO IT, CONCEIVABLY INTENDED TO BE USED FROM SOMEWHERE FAR AWAY FROM THE ACTUAL BOMB, and then jury rigs it to some explosive batteries. Mother of fuck, THINK about the fucking situation before spouting your fucking retardation.

>Again, the timer could just be set to 0:00 really easy.
Evidently fucking not, and even if it COULD be, not as easily as just pressing the fucking button. Nothing you say will ever make resetting a timer faster and easier than pressing the button, thus the button still and forevermore has a use case.

>Disconnecting a button doesnt do that
Shut the fuck up. Continuous current runs from an internal battery through the detonator. When this current is interrupted, the detonator detonates the bomb. Depressing the button interrupts the current. Cutting the detonator wiring also interrupts the current. To arm the bomb you first turn on the battery, and then turn on the fuse. Hence the two-switch detonator.

>How, in your mind, does disconnecting the instant blow up button disarm the bomb?
I don't think that you fucking retard. I think that disconnecting the instant blow up button DETONATES the bomb.

I can tell that you're a fucking idiot who will continue being wrong indefinitely even if I post the schematics for the actual bombs that the Australian Army uses which have this exact anti-tamper system, but mother of fuck stop pretending that knowing somebody who works with fireworks makes you an expert in bomb design when I have a fucking combat engineer in the next room.

>>82354830

Peter celestial genes allowed him to drawn power from Ego and manipulate the light. Peter has no such powers without ego.

He couldn't do the same in the body of another celestial, because his celestial genes are ego's genes, you should know that, unless you're bill nye the science cuck.

And Thanos is a titan, not a celestial, I don't know what you're babbling about.

>>82354999
I don't want to spoil to you, but if anything I wish new star wars movies were like this.
it is creative, it is gritty but in the sense they don't shy away of showing dead bodies and literal robot prostitutes, it has comedy even if not every joke lands many are good and it has the only memorable villain in the MCU

>>82355118
>it has the only memorable villain in the MCU
Yeah, I also loved that golden woman.

>>82355118

Seems to me the only argument for the film seems to always lead back to the "for an MCU film" argument... just because it's better than other MCU films doesn't mean it's good in the grand scheme of things. I'm not denying its entertainment value, all superhero films are entertaining for the most part. Like I said early, it's an average movie with some above average scenes.

>>82354902
>>82355084
I never said he had powers of his own. All I said was the reason Ego needed to go back was because his body was too far away from his brain. Quill's brain is in his body so he didnt need to go back to Ego to stay alive.


>And Thanos is a titan, not a celestial, I don't know what you're babbling about.
Never said he wasnt . Way to just make stuff up. But if you dont think Quill is going to grab the power stone again in Infinity War then you are dumb.

>>82354906
I think Quill will grab the power stone out of the gauntlet/from Thanos in an attempt to get it away from him is what I think.


Alternatively, his Celestial genes will play into some retarded dues ex machina.

So, I was right then, avarage american. Thats why you're so retarded.

This discussion is over, if you can't grasp on the immense complexity of a kids movie who pretty much lay things in your face, as a whole scene of Quill himself losing the heat of his light in his hand as a sign that he no longer has power after ego exploded, anything else you say is bullshit.

A detonator built INTO the bomb its detonating you dumb ass. The rest of your argument isnt worth responding to because its built on this fault premise that you think they are two separate units.

Look at the pic, the detonator is ON the bomb, which means it was detonator designed to be put on a bomb with an instant detonation button.
Stop being so retarded.
>Continuous current runs from an internal battery through the detonator.

No they dont. The detonator MAKES a current that sets off the bomb. You are thinking of a deadman's switch.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detonator#Electrical_detonators

>There are three categories of electrical detonators: instantaneous electrical detonators (IED), short period delay detonators (SPD) and long period delay detonators (LPD). SPDs are measured in milliseconds and LPDs are measured in seconds. In situations where nanosecond accuracy is required, specifically in the implosion charges in nuclear weapons, exploding-bridgewire detonators are employed. The initial shock wave is created by vaporizing a length of a thin wire by an electric discharge. A new development is a slapper detonator, which uses thin plates accelerated by an electrically exploded wire or foil to deliver the initial shock. It is in use in some modern weapon systems. A variant of this concept is used in mining operations, when the foil is exploded by a laser pulse delivered to the foil by optical fiber.


See, it doesnt have a constant current.
You are so dumb it hurts.

>>82355482
Do you have any proof that Quill was only able to hold the power gem because of Ego? He wasnt anywhere near the planet and didnt use any of his "light" powers to do it....

>>82355616
It really really isnt. The core story and theme are completely different. One is about a guy's delusional idea of being a superhero. The other is a shonen anime with daddy issues.

>>82355688
nobody said taking off, at least learn to greentext correctly if you are going to continue to be a retard. How about you explain HOW exactly the two movies are the same? Is it because one has a sidekick that rapes the protagonist and the other doesnt? Is it because one has a delusional protagonist who doesnt have any actual powers and isnt actually hero, but the other doesnt? Is it because one has a dancing baby tree and a talking racoon and the other doesnt?

You are a fucking retard. Jesus fucking Christ. How can one person be this fucking dumb.

Pic related is a detonator. It has an instant detonation button. Look, there are no bombs attached. This detonator is designed to be used far, far away from the bomb it is detonating.

I could tape explosives to the back of this detonator - enough that it will certainly kill me if it goes off while I'm holding it. Will this suddenly make the instant detonation button stop working?

USE YOUR FUCKING BRAIN.

>See, it doesnt have a constant current.
You need to kill yourself immediately, because one of the ways that professional bombs are set up for anti-tamper is to have a fake blasting cap with a constant test current running down it through a wire to the detonator which, when cut, sets off the real hidden blasting cap. The detonator simulates this process by interrupting the test current when the button is depressed.

>>82355666
>nobody said taking off
>>its like this movie if you take out all the parts

>>82355804
Yes that detonator is designed to be used far away. The one Rocket had was not or else it would have been.
How are you this dumb?

They shouldn't really try to use villains with deep philosophical themes such as immortality and world creation/building if they're not willing to explore what that means beyond a black and white 'evil'

Never said that pal, just said that his genes are good as nothing except for the fact that he can hold a gem like the power stone for a bit more time compared to others.

>The one Rocket had was not or else it would have been.
What part of "I took half a minute to tape some explosive batteries to this detonator" makes you think he had time to establish a safe perimeter and spool out enough wire? What part of making do with off-the-shelf-components being used in roles they're not intended for isn't sinking through your thick fucking skull?

You assert that this detonator is designed to go on the bomb because it's necessary to your argument, not because it actually makes sense. You're not interested in making sense or being right, just winning an internet fight to preserve your fragile ego, because you are a fucking moron.

>>no proof/source
ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?

What, do you want me to link you to the step-by-step manual on how to be a fucking terrorist?

It is objectively possible to use a fake blasting cap and constant current to set up an anti-tamper device on a bomb and if you can't understand how you have no business talking about anything involving the slightest amount of electrical engineering knowledge in the first place. There are many possible types of anti-tamper devices, none of which are helpfully laid out on the internet for you.

In 1980 John Birges set up a bomb at Harvey's Wagon Wheel Casino. If you want to learn about what you do with bombs when you're trying to kill people who mess with them, Google that. There's tons of good articles.

>>thinks that the detonator made with two options, and instant blow up button and a countdown button, that cant even be removed from the bomb, would have this or would have it active if the countdown wasnt active
What the fuck do you think the switches are for?

One turns on the battery, the other arms the fuse. Arm the fuse before the battery and the bomb goes off. Arm the battery and then press the button and no explosion. Jesus fuck.

Or, maybe, just maybe, this detonator is designed to be sold in multiple markets or to pyrotechnicians with multiple needs who want just one detonator, and so it can be rigged either for a timer or an instant detonation so that they don't have to swap fucking detonators all the time while they're doing their job.

LIKE PEOPLE DO IN REAL LIFE. PIC RELATED. IT'S MAGIC: A DETONATOR THAT CAN BE USED BOTH FOR TIMED EXPLOSIONS OR FOR INSTANT EXPLOSIONS.

Could have been okay if, again, they didn't go so fucking hard with it.

Jokes like that should be fucking casual and incidental, not take five seconds and then pause for laughter. You belong in a gas chamber. Your taste is literally worse than Hitler.

The only good jokes in the entire film (not all of these are even jokes, which is WHY THEY WORK):
>ayesha flirting with Quill
>rocket talking to drax about the batteries (but not the preceding LOL WINKING WITH WRONG EYE)
>drax revealing rocket stole the batteries (borderline but drax's acting made it)
>team banter after the crash (why the fuck don't they have more of this? it's clearly their strength)
>rocket on yondu's teeth
>the first maybe two of groot's wrong item gags
