Not to mention Rocket's role in the Avengers Infinity saga...I LOVED how crucial he was in that story.

How crucial was he?¿

@mousmnwltr Жыл бұрын

I disagree. He did nothing.

@Wladeex123 11 ай бұрын

@@mousmnwltr That's quite untrue. He was the one to take the Avengers to Thanos' planet after the destruction of the Stones (and also in Thor getting to Nidaveliir and creating Stormbreaker). He was also the one who connected the dots and located said planet. He's been an active hero within the next 5 years. After Stark came up with the design of the time travel machine, he was the part of the trio (Stark-Banner-Rocket) that actually worked on building the thing, tinkering with it and making it usable. When it comes to getting the Stones, while Thor was meeting his mother, Rocket actually recovered the Reality Stone. Yeah, he didn't have many lines or flashy action scenes, but he's been a good support character in IF and Endgame.

One easter egg I love but rarely see anyone talking about is the opening song of Volume 2. The song playing when we see Ego with Peters mom is called Brandy (your a fine girl) by the Looking Glass. This was a one hit wonder for the band and the only song that ever got popularity. Similar to how Peter was a one hit wonder for Ego, with Peter being the only child of Ego to carry his celestial powers. James Gunn purposely chose this song, for this reason.

James Gunn's work has always been extremely well thought out, and I love that about him. Everything has a purpose, every detail has a meaning. That hidden easter egg has been quite the challenge to figure out over the years, since he has stopped responding to those theories I wonder if that means it will either be solved, or a huge hint given come Volume 3? I guess we have to wait and see! Excellent Deep Dive, look forward to seeing Vol.2!

A friend gave me this movie on Blu Ray bc she didn't have a player and thought my kids would like it...turned out I liked it more than any of them so it gets credit for totally turning me on to Marvel. Ironically I wasn't super interested in this particular movie and not fully sold on MCU in general. I just realized why this movie was the catalyst watching this review...it really did start to connect all the infinity threads.

I still love that prison jumpsuit detail. How neither Rocket nor Quill have any black on their leg. Just "petty" crimes like theft, money laundering, arson, etc. (even though Rocket's is enough to almost fill his entire leg) Meanwhile both Drax and Gamora have thigh length counts of murder, but Gamora seems to have more thick black lines compared to Drax's multiple "small" ones

Great observations...it's true that the Guardians Movies have done most of the world building in the MCU...I was not invested in the story of the infinity stones and the interconnectedness of the MCU until seeing GOG Vol 1. Even as standalone movies...they have been truly fun, imaginative...well put together and fantastic...it's a shame to see the end of them but they will be forever loved...kudos to the creative team and thanks Eric..hope we finally find out that secret Easter egg😂

In the film Guardians 3, here are some ciphers that I found using the tool at Gematri~nator. “Bad dog” = 33. Rocket was assigned number 89P13, in words is “Eight nine p one three” = 107. Compare that to the name of the first airbrush painting shown in the film “The Best of Times”(1984) at time mark 7:11. Cheers.

Oh, that'd be a hell of a twist. Everything we've seen from Rocket's POV from GotG to Endgame (and the Christmas Special) is just a replay of events from the perspective of the High Evolutionary. The Guardians as we know them are actually older than we thought (which could probably explain the rapid growth in Groot).

The creatures at the beginning (orlonians?) Are actually jumping at him, possible looking to nibble on him. It looks like he kicks 2 as they jump at him, and grabs a 3rd as it jumps near his face, he doesn't go out of his way to go and grab it. Otherwise, most lower creatures work on fight or flight. So if they aren't running from him...

This made me think about Mikhail Bulgakov's (author of "Master and Margarita" novel) story "Heart of a Dog" where a surgeon replaces a dog's pituitary gland by the one from a human. In the story they choose a very wrong human as a donor, and they reverse a dog to be a dog. But could this be a reverse, when a rather good human's gland is placed in a boody of a racoon, and here we have Rocket? I unfortunately haven't read the comics, so I don't know anything about The High Evoluteonary (most likely I've spelled the name wrong), but I have this vibe of a person who seeshimself as untouchable genious.
