This movie is top 10 in the MCU for sure! It balanced action, drama and humor better than any other film. Plus that killer sountrack!! And the characters were such a breath of fresh air, being largely unknown to non-comic book readers. And it was cool seeing the MCU expand its storytelling to places beyond Earth.

"You can't make me cry then say something so stupid..." Guardians in a nutshell.

The dog is Cosmo, who is based on a real-life dog sent into space as part of the soviet space program. Marvel adapted it into a fun character in the comics and finally here in this movie as a fun Easter egg.

"That's actually really sad. That came from his soul." Yes it is, and yes it did. At this point, you have no idea... So glad that you talked about the character development, Kay. The MCU is always at its best when it builds up characters, and makes them come to life. And this trilogy by James Gunn is one of the best in Marvel. In the first movie alone, he's succeeded in taking a group of almost unknown space-faring characters, and making us care about them to the point that the loss of one hurts us terribly. And there's so much more amazing storytelling to come. Stay tuned, and don't forget those tissues!

Honestly, this was the first MCU film that I thought was truly great from start to finish. Some of the earlier ones were really good, some were okay, but this one was (and still is) a perfect combination of action, heart, drama, comedy, etc., etc.. It never gets old.

According to James Gunn, the director, Groot really died. The little Groot at the end is a new character

Peter Quill's character growth: Peter never felt worthy to open the gift from his mother because he never took her hand when she asked him. At the end battle, he got his redemption by taking Gamora's hand when she asked. Only then did he feel that he earned the right to open his mother's last gift.

This movie swayed my Mama to get into the MCU and she absolutely loves this. Bear in mind she is 70 years old. Getting to the golden age of the MCU. It just gets better and better. Love your reaction and your vibe! Have a great and safe weekend 👑☺️

The guardians films are easily the most depressing and the most hilarious films in the MCU. James Gunn really knows how to blend emotions to make a really fun and emotional story. I am so excited for his take on the DC universe.

a tree saying "we are groot" makes us all cry. great reaction.

I saw this in the theater with my nephews after returning home from a 3 week work trip (and the office wanted me to stay out longer even though I finished my work...). Peter's mother will always make me cry, every time I have seen this movie, and watching it with you just now as I ate a bowl of ice cream. Tears upon tears.

"You can't make me cry, and then say something so stupid." The tagline of ALL the Guardians movies.

Fun Fact: when Quill dropped the orb, then picked it back up was an actual, unplanned accident. Since Pratt stayed in character, and recovered, Gunn left the flub in the film. The quote about "12% of a plan" goes back to the first Avengers movies, when Tony accorded 12% credit to Pepper for building Stark Tower. It's not obvious, but Yondu has a weakness for Troll dolls. He collects them. At the end, the duck is Howard the Duck, who was actually in a live action movie in the 80s. The pooch is Laika the space dog. She (male in the comics, female in the MCU) has telepathy & telekinesis.

Another awesome reaction especially with Groot sacrifice James Gunn def did an amazing job with this movie and the whole trilogy of these characters is something special so will def be looking forward to your reaction to Volume 2 and especially Volume 3, however so glad you had an awesome time with this one keep up the great content

such a good movie, glad you reacted to it! it’s a trilogy you’re going to really love and feel lots of different emotions with lol can’t wait for your next reaction, hope you’re having a great day 😁

This is by far my favorite sub-franchise within the MCU! Always full of so much humor, heart, and music. 😁

Hi Kayltic!😊 I just found your channel. This film is very special to me. It was released when I was homeless, and I watched it many times to keep my spirits up. I saw it at the movie theater, the library, and the homeless shelter. Great reactions to this awesome MCU ensemble film, Kaylyptic!!!🎬👏👏👏👏

Micheal rooker is the guy who plays yondu and in the walking dead...he's been in several films and yes he plays either a hateable villain or antagonist lol

How exceptionally cool has it been to see you twice within 1 week?!!! Catching your videos is always a good thing! Thank you 👍!

The duck is Howard, Howard the Duck, had his own pre-MCU movie back in the mid-80’s.

one of my favorite MCU movies, glad you watched it! If it's okay to suggest, I hope you can watch "Your Name" and "A Silent Voice" if you haven't seen them already. Both anime and both visually stunning with beautiful stories.

Hey, we couldn't tell you were crying at all! 😢😂 So, quite fun watching your reactions. Good dialog. You seem very "Type A" personality. 😊 Good job. Thanks!

Fair warning: you are going to need an entire box of tissues by the time you get to Guardians of the Galaxy 3. 😊 Kaylyptic, I just discovered you and your channel with this video, and you have a new subscriber!! You are fun, engaging, with a sensitive heart and a knockout smile, and going through this video with you was an absolute joy! The GOTG movies are simply fantastic!! They have action, humor, quirkiness, great characters, dynamite music, and SO MUCH HEART!! Truly some of the best things Marvel has ever done. Oh, and don't forget the GOTG Holiday Special on your way through this journey: it's canon, and contains key elements of GOTG lore. I can't wait to continue (and cry) on this journey with you!! 😊

"I hope I don't have to shed any tears again" Oh, oof... xDD

Great reaction! 😊 This is my second favorite movie in the "Guardians of the Galaxy" trilogy. This is such a great movie! Great cast! We get to see the Guardians meeting and becoming a team for the first time. And you get to meet Thanos. 2:55 You are correct! These movie have the best soundtracks. Iron Man soundtrack comes in a close second. 19:09 - 19:28 I always like this history of the Infinity Stone scene. 37:29 The duck that was in that end credit scene with the Collector(and the dog whose name is Cosmo) was Howard the Duck. There's an early Marvel movie from 1986 called "Howard the Duck" which I recommend just for fun. Next up in the MCU: "Avengers: Age of Ultron". And I'm so excited for "Star Wars: A New Hope" coming soon. Looking forward to your next reaction. 😊

29:52 Because Nebula couldn't keep up with Gamora to stay in Thanos's graces when they were kids, Thanos kept adding cybernetic upgrades to her as time went on, she's basically a cyborg The duck in the post credit scene is Howard the Duck

It's important to remember that the Power stone was left on Xandar. It won't be mentioned again until Infinity War.

Michael rooker 5:09-5:26 Yeah he plays Merle in Twd although he did have a character development, but he plays good guys in other stuff and I think you’ll love him as Yondu in Gurdians of the galaxy

Definitely don't forget the tissues for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

Dang - I've binged all your reactions in like 3 days 😅😅 You're so entertaining!! Keep up the great work :D

The duck in the end credit scene is Howard the duck who was the 1st marvel character to have a movie back in 1987 I think . I was a movie from the 80's but still enjoyable to watch

Every time I hear "take my hand" all I can think of is "you know who has hands? THE DEVIL!"

Michael Rooker's role in Tombstone was less angry. That's always a popular reaction flick, if you wanted to add it to your queue!

When she gets to Guardians 3 she’s going to need a whole box of tissues.

" You can't make me cry and say something stupid" you just summed up Guardians .....

Damn it, I've been off soft drink for a while, and now I'm craving dr pepper. THANKS.

Loved your reaction to Quill's welcome-to-prison cleansing: "What was that? It didn't look right" Of course that line brings back memories of Galaxy Quest ;) Another movie that must be watched...

Rewatched all the GOTG movies and they are the funniest and most emotional works in the MCU in my opinion. Its some of my favorite movies of all time.

So many Peters in Marvel & guardians has some of the best music in all of the marvel films

Guardians is an emotional roller coaster

20:17 Finally, someone who understands Draxs

1:25 - This opening was a complete NIGHTMARE for me and my ex. Her niece had died from leukemia just a few months before, so seeing this was EXTREMELY rough! 😥 2:45 - Of course, after ripping everyone's hearts out, they have this jaunty scene. Way to be incongruous, Marvel, and thanks. 👍 9:09 - TRIVIA: This alien is voiced by Nathan Fillion. If you don't know who that is, watch "Firefly" or "Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-Long Blog." 12:54 - As an amputee, I think it *IS* messed up. 😁 13:39 - Is it, though? 30,000 units could equal $1.00 on Earth. You don't know. 😛 (My leg, which is for a BKA, cost just shy of $8,000 at the time my insurance paid for it. It's value on a secondary market is between $150 to $300. Why such a disparity between prices? Because this leg was made for me, and ONLY me. It holds no real value for anyone else.) 14:52 - TRIVIA: "Keep the Milano nearby." Peter's ship is named after actress Alyssa Milano, who would have been 16 and starring in the TV sitcom "Who's the Boss?" when he was kidnapped from Earth. She would have been perfect for some kid to have a celebrity crush on, so it tracks that he'd honor her by naming his ship after her. 15:00 - For the record, the song "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" has a horrible premise. It's about a guy looking to cheat on his S.O. by hooking up with someone by way of the personal ads in a newspaper. It's pure chance that the person looking to hook up turns out to be his S.O. I mean, they were BOTH planning to cheat! How is this song seen as romantic?!? 🤨🤔🤨 15:36 - Make this rule, Kaylee: *If it's a Disney film, have tissues.* Tape it to your mic so you don't forget. 😉 (MCU is Disney, on the off chance you didn't know.) 16:46 - TRIVIA: That's supposed to be the corpse of a Celestial, impossibly powerful beings scattered throughout Marvel comics. For all of my comic-reading when I was a kid, I never read a story involving them. They're essentially deities. 18:27 - "Pelvic sorcery" is an amazing pairing of words. 🤣 18:57 - TRIVIA: The "space dog," as you called her, is Cosmo, a telepathic/telekinetic doggo... and she is good dog, Give treats. ♥ (That last line is for me. If it makes you smile, then it's done its job for everyone involved.) 23:59 - Did you...? Did you just Chloé Bourgeois the Guardians of the Galaxy? 😲 29:28 - TRIVIA: In the comics, Yondu used whistling to control his arrows, but a bow was involved. I think removing the bow makes for a more interesting visual. 36:53 - I'll bet you're amazing on karaoke night! Seriously, Kaylee. Lovely voice! ♥ And knowing Jackson 5 lyrics?!? Would you consider a marriage proposal too forward? 😁🤪 (It's a joke, people. A joke!) 37:38 - TRIVIA: This is Howard the Duck, interdimensional wiseass and master of Quack-Fu! (No, that's NOT a joke.)

Michael Rooker actually plays a fairly normal person in JFK.

Nebula is the galaxy's reigning Robot dance contest champion.

37:44 This movie was well crafted. Crafted, get it? No..? Only me? 😂😂😂

All I can say is just wait for Guardians 2 and 3.

Yondu's actor also played a semi-villain in Mall rats

I never would've pictured Vin Diesel in a Marvel film first time I saw this. U might've thought Fast & Furious is his best work, but Groot, is right up there w/ it

Dang dude I'm sorry the movie was such a rollercoaster of happy/sad for you, I hope it was good overall! I really appreciate your video, and I never get tired of rewatching it when has such a strong reaction to it. Thanks again! Hope you are well!

please go on your reactions are clearly the beeest👏🏻🥰

YESSS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR REACTION TO THIS, i love the guardians of the galaxy and the characters. AND YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT YET EVEN BETTER 💪❤love your reactions

I love this movie. Great reaction too. I'm finding myself looking forward to your content. Thank you

Yeah, that was fun... you got my sub and thumbs up. Seems like you're doing great. Keep up the good work.

Wow, i had forgotten how good Guardians 1 actually was. Thanks for the great recap.

36:49 The director has confirmed that the original Groot has died, this is his son, he does not have any memories of the original Groot 😢😢

Warning for the other movies : all of the guardians movies are tear jerker

They have the best sound track ever❤

This movie is the start of one of the MCU'S greatest trilogies. If not the best of all. Plus most of the songs from these movies are in my playlist (and I listen to them everyday)

Love your reactions!!! Hope you continue with Reacher and The Boys

It's amazing that Rocket is voiced by Bradley Cooper. Sounds nothing like him. It's one of the best voice-over done if not the best.

Amazingly, every movie in the Guardians trilogy is better than the previous!

Rooker has a pretty extensive acting Filmography, gotta be at least one part he's not the heel... "Days of Thunder" he's sort of a heel for part of it but he changes some. Oh hey "Cliffhanger" with Stallone, his character isn't a heel. I'd say part of why he gets the heel roles is his voice and accent typecasting him though.

I Still can't believe How Well this Movie Did! And it was Produced, or Made better than even I thought it could've been. Such a Great Movie! And According to certain KZfaq Blogs,The Sound Track for GOG1! & GOG 2! Out Sold Several modern day Artists on the Billboard Charts!

Earned a new sub! Awesome reaction and commentary!

I had 0 expectations when going watching this film. It ended up in my Top 0 MCU films. The GotG is best Trilogy with-in MCU for me, closely followed by Captain America Trilogy. Jmaes Gunn didn't just put amazing soundtrack with Tyler Bates doing epic score... but this film had so much heart and soul.

Back when this movie released, most of us had no idea who the Guardians of the Galaxy are. You’ll get to know them better over the course of the MCU like we did. A fun fact: aside from English, Vin Diesel voiced Groot in 15 other languages for this movie. For example, in Spanish he says “Yo soy Groot.” Sean Gunn, the actor who portrays Yondu’s right-hand man Kraglin, is brother of the movie’s director James Gunn. I’m letting you know this ahead of time: Volume 2 has not one not two but FIVE post-credit scenes total. Some reactors have skipped them by accident. All I can say right now is that you won’t wanna miss them.

can’t wait to see your reaction to vol. 3 bring tissues for all of them 🥹i love rocket

29:49 the last one died before the first one dropped to the ground

When you finally get to GOTG VOLUME 3 you’ll understand better what rocket meant when he was drunk arguing with Drax and Quill.

_Incredibly_ random fact: It was because of this movie that I had a vague idea of who Jackson Pollock was and what his paintings might look like, which won me a trivia night at a local restaurant a few years ago. I am aware that there is no reason anyone should actually care about that fact. As I said. Incredibly random.

Trust me, if we're watching reactions, chances are we know the entire soundtrack off by heart already.

Mmmm Dr Pepper in a can!! The BEST!!!!

Michael Rooker, the actor playing Yandu, mostly does play angry murderious types. One of the few exceptions is as Rowdy Burns in Days of Thunder

🥺🥺❤️had to sub after seeing this

My favorite scene is when Drax fought Roan he's super strong l wanted to see him fight Thanos tho u are sooo Beautiful ❤️ tho love ur reaction 👍 ❤😊

Howard the Duck was the first marvel character to star in a movie. George Lucas made the so bad it's good 80s movie.

Check out love and monsters for a Michael Rooker role where he isn't playing an angry man

Be it Groot or vin diesel he is for the family 😂❤

i love your reactions, just wish you had started to react a lot sooner XD, cant wait to see more reactions in the future, pretty sure ur channel will grow fast

They just get better

Try strawberries and cream Dr Pepper!

Howard the Duck😅

i love James gunn’s marvel movies but The suicide squad (2021) is my favorite cbm of his

Wait until you get to Guardians 3. Bring the tissues.

BTW if you want to see the TRUE first marvel movie, and u derstand the end credit scene better, watch Howard the duck! It's corny and schlocky but fun!

Much love from Nowhere ❤ Glad you are enjoying mine and my crews story so far Vol 2 and Vol 3 to go.

diet cherry DP is goated

Fun fact: Howard the Duck (the character from the post-credit scene) was actually the first Marvel character to get his own movie, in 1986. There had been serials and TV shows based on Marvel properties, but not a live-action theatrical release. Don't go looking for the movie, though. It's terrible.

Lol you cant just have a one night stand and put her in danger, i was not aware of this rule.

Do you have a patreon. Please let me know if u do. Really been enjoying ur MCU content

Never succumb to pelvic sorcery...

Calm down Groot will be back 😂😂

You can't get copyrighted. Human beings aren't intellectual works of property just like Beyonce couldn't copyright her name.

Just a little question... will you look at every project and make your own opinion or just the ones that were "well received" by the fans? because I would like to see your opinion on the "not so good" projects.

Please continue the mcu

This movie made you cry that much? You are not prepared for future MCU movies. I won't say which ones or which parts but you'll get to them eventually!

thanos is always right

Please watch at least one episode of agents of shield,

you are incredibly beautiful! I love watching your content, thanks for doing them!!

Can a subscriber please send tissues for her . Maybe a years supply 😂
