Great conclusion. For me the most strong point of the movie was rocket's character arch and high evolutionary as Villain. Adam warlock could have been a little bit stronger? I guess but okay for a new born god baby. End the end best marvel movie since Infinity war. 8.5/10 ( i consider Endgame 8/10 and NWH a overrated movie) thank you

Best MCU movie of 2023 and a wonderful ending

I actually disagree with your thoughts on the future, I think that secret invasion, which is next in line will be epic, I am hyped for Loki season 2, (although kang’s future is up in the air regarding Jonathan majors) and then the marvels and echo closing out the year, both looking pretty shit, but I’m optimistic on marvel altering their show releases following echo as it is getting rid of the week to week crap, being able to take a day to binge out a whole show is much better than the week to week stuff imo, I don’t think gotg 3 saved the mcu, but I think the worst is behind us. I hope lol

@@captainmcknight Yeah the fact they've changed the release approach for Echo does not scream confidence in that show at all. That's a fair take from you though, like I said maybe I'm just a little pessimistic.

Went out after 35 minutes. This could have been good as a standalone trilogy, but almost all character storylines suffer from being part of the MCU.

Genuinely

yep james gunn said he returned on the condition that disney won't interfere in his movie and look how that turned out

Facts & feige better get a grip and follow suit because the movies & shows have been garbage with the exception of no way home, loki & werewolf by night

Facts building up hype for Superman Legacy

Well said.

I don't know man. He did feel like an after thought. However, it didn't bug me as much as the guy was implying

I completely agree, there's so few "smart actors" who give calculated performances especially in humor, ie Bautista and Poulter who killed it in every scene he was in

@@Random_dud31 he wasn’t an afterthought though he was in the sequel post-credit.

And while not being short on comedy either

THIS. Thank you for saying what I was thinking, the humor was never used for the sake of humor, e.g. Thor turning into a frat boy in LAT

"Took a nosedive in quality" is highly inaccurate. They ebbed, as all things do, so they could add more characters. Not everything can go 100mph all the time.

True. It works though unclear vision of Gunn.

@@lexruptor after endgame the MCU has gotten progressively worse for multiple reasons. They want to tell a huge interconnected story but because every separate franchise has a different director and writer there's no consistency That's what killed the sequel trilogy for Star wars. You can't properly tell a story without consistency. If JJ Abrams just made all three of them, maybe he could have made palpatine coming back make sense. But since Rian Johnson wasn't trying to tell the same story, it was just thrown at us randomly and didn't make any sense. The other thing that's killing MCU is oversaturation. There are so many movies and shows coming out that it's incredibly hard to keep up with. When I wanted to watch multiverse of madness I was told that to get the most out of that movie I had to watch the entirety of wandavision. That's homework. Especially for someone like me who really couldn't care less about Wanda's love life with vision. The early days of the MCU were great because they knew exactly what they wanted to do from the start. They had a roadmap to follow to get to endgame. The infinity saga also didn't have the rampant oversaturation that today's have. If you wanted to watch endgame all you had to do was watch the main movies. Now if you want to watch a new film you first have to watch multiple seasons of Disney+ shows like Hawkeye, moonknight, falcon and the winter soldier, she hulk, and Loki. You cannot expect your watchers to consume every single bit of your content to be able to understand what's happening. That is a recipe for failure. Quality not quantity

To be fair, they are slowing their output this year. There are no more movies until The Marvels in November and 3 tv series. In 2021, they released 4 movies and 5 tv series. Of course it remains another question whether what they release is any good but fewer crappy shows is better than lots of crappy shows.

⁠@@huskycruxes7232many of the new shows are just there to build on and/or introduce characters. Only wandavision and Loki are somewhat relevant to the mcu overarching storyline

That's exactly how they did it. This is more of a guardians movie than an MCU film. Because it's so disconnected and it's telling its own story it actually has the freedom to be an in depth character study on each of the guardians instead of watching them beatinf another generic world ending threat

Yes. James Gunn even talked about this too. Stories are stories, superhero is just a genre. Most of the new MCU are too concerned with aesthetic and tropes that they actually feel samey --- I suspect this is on Disney trying to manage brand. I legit don't get fans that're calling Phase 4 "risky". Ironically, movies with more focus on characters and stories serve/expand the universe better. MCU itself forgot about, but they used to do it.

Agreed - massively funny and so much landed

Humour works in the guardian films and it worked here for the most part. A few times like Drax lying down it got tedious but it was just a few. Recent mcu has been getting unbearable though, I’m not watching a panel show.

Thor did alright with humor in ragnarok but the rest of the movie was good. Love and thunder was just stupid bad humor and it was really just too much humor making it bad

Differences between Gunn and Taika 1. Gunn actually reads the characters comics and enjoys comics in general 2. Gunn knows when to joke and when not to 3. Gunn writes full scripts before filming If Taika did just 1 & 3 then He might’ve made a good movie

The Winter Soldier came out first and was the best film since The Avengers up to that point

James Gunn is a fantastic director

Winter Soldier came out before Guardians and is still probably the best MCU film to this day...

False. To save something, it has to be in danger.

​@Likegod butbetterlooking Winter Soldier? Ha!!! Trash. Absolute trash. Now, Doctor Strange 1 was good, and Age of Ultron was good, but Cap isn't a good character tbph, too boring, and none of his stories are ever interesting. Just bleh.

I think I watched the same video you did. The quipiness works for the guardians really well because of their character dynamic, and a James Gunn is a brilliant writer and director who knows how to balance the comedy with the more serious tones. Funny quips don't work with Thor. he went from being one of the most powerful avengers to being the punchline of a fat gamer joke.

Nope. This was a thing back in the first avengers movie.

@@doug176 quipy one liners is different to making full on action comedy films

​@@doug176avengers isn't a funny film, it's just the team has banter, whereas I would say guardians is trying to ve far funnier

Exactly.Ask anybody that read the run from 2007 when gotg started to get recognition what they feel about the movies.I bet you they say they hate it.He butchered gotg for three movies.Look what he did with adam warlock.And that's what marvel did sprinkle james gunn in every movie thor 3,4 is the biggest example.Gotg was they way into the mcu for all of these youtubers and so called mcu fans.I seen the writing on the wall when the first gotg came out now this is what you have today.Marvel need to capture those fans from pre 2014 cause marvel threw that out the window for fans you have today.Im listening to this dude talk i bet he never read a comic book in his life.I bet he jumped on the bandwagon with gotg.I respect Eternals now cause it wasn't no james gunn crap in the movie.it felt like a pre 2014 marvel that can grow into something better.So you is not wrong in what you're saying.And i think marvel really knows that. That's why marvel is pushing a lot of stuff back because of it.Marvel needs to go back to what got them here and that's the real fans of these characters not no critic or youtubers and let people know we wasn't built off the internet.For me I'm glad james gunn is gone.And take the gunn ism with you too💯.

BP2 and AntMan3 were also good. In fact, we've only had 2 bad MCU movies recently, Thor 4 and MoM.

I think this is it. One good movie in a series of good movies (GOTG) doesn’t necessarily mean the marvel franchise is back on track, it just means GOTG is still good.

@@m1k3y48 I never said it wasn't bad, the Guardians movies are amazing. I'm just talking about the wider MCU, and I don't think it can save the MCU's declining status.

@@lexruptor Black Panther and Ant man are garbage LMAOOOO

@@lexruptor dude said Ant-Man 3 was good 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀

I died at that part lolol

probably a diamond in the rough

Who's Casey, I'm just mad that they ruined the hulk

@@ArnezDavid I guess I meant to write Cassie The ruined Hulk and tried to supplant him with a worse alternative

Love his content

I have no care at all for the brand so I'm going where the talent goes.

Bro they didn’t micro manage the Multiverse of madness writer and look how that turned out, he didn’t even watch the prequel to his movie, WandaVision

dont forget deadpool 3

What do you mean aside from them?

@@thrillcollectors Because the end credits said Star Lord would return but it didn’t say The Guardians of the Galaxy would.

@@YaBoyCori That's true but they didn't say The Guardians of the Galaxy wouldn't return later in the future. Still a possibility, but I agree with the sentiment that things won't be the same without Gunn at the helm.

"Wokeness". God damn what a STUPID word that means jack shit

Oh no what will a multibillion dollar corporation do without your dozens of dollars
