I feel we should get Kinda Funny Doodles for some of these plots... just saying.

Nicks laugh as 1:16:10 sounds like Iron Mans repulsor blast

Its crazy how excited I am for these shows now. The highlight of every Tuesday for me!

Winter Soldier is my number 1 in what i think is the best made MCU movie. GOTG is my personal favorite!

I got married the day this released in theaters on August 1st 2014. On our honeymoon we went to Hawaii. On August 2nd, The wife and I ate a Hawaiian breakfast and right after we took a cab and the driver is like “you come to Hawaii and wanna go see a movie?” I said “yes sir” it was a good time.

I like Guardians way more than Avengers, it's probably favorite MCU movie. Great episode!

The fact that everyone just nodded and acknowledged Tim when he said "Tim Gunn" instead of "Sean Gunn" is really funny to me. They're just so different, and thinking of Tim Gunn as a Ravager is kind of amazing.

I appreciate how Tim's coat matches the movie

Love this podcast!! 🤟🏽

My favorite part is Andy zoning out in order to work on a theme song for Nick's new ab podcast. Dude is always working, no time to get caught up in the fun bits!

Been looking forward to this one, love these reviews

The more of these I watch the less I trust Nicks opinions on film in general haha

This is my favourite KZfaq show right now.. I've enjoyed rewatching these films more since I found this series. Thanks guys.

Nick glad you are back ! I totally agree with your point of view on guardians

If these guys had the time it would have been cool to see a watch along series for this. But I love this too, thanks!

Nick, as much as i enjoy your opinion, a few of your arguments just don't make sense or lack logic^^ How does Avenger do the "everyone comes together" arc better than GotG, when you already know every character in Avengers through their origin movies, while GotG made us care about a WHOLE CAST of NEW characters coming together, which is WAY more difficult. Kevin and Andy made great points, while you just vented a bit too much without giving solid reasons except for the endfight comparison ;) Anyway great review everyone ! :D

I personally loved GoTG more than Avengers.

Regarding Groot: in the comics there is a version of Groot that can talk and is actually very dark and brooding. I think we may see Baby Groot's personality diverge from Groot's as he grows up.

i agree with kevin. GOG is my #1 on the list.

The KF MCU Reviews are so entertaining. Movie criticism at it's finest ladies and gentlemen. 👏

I love this series overall, but nitpicking about points like the Nova's force field defences really slows down the discussion for me and doesn't add a lot.

Kevin is right, of the movies covered thus far. This is number 1, I love the guardian movies, I think they’re so much better than the avengers. I often forget these movies are even marvel movies they stand alone so well!

You didn't rank Bautista's abs

I’ve been running behind on this series, can some explain ragu bagu please? Thanks in advance

Great episode!! I love when you guys have different opinions on where to rank a movie. It makes for a very cool discussion. That is what makes the MCU movies very cool, people can have very different opinions on there favorites. There is no one movie that is way better than the rest, but most are a least good. Here is my new ranking so far: 1. Avengers 2. ‎Captain America: the Winter Soldier 3. Guardians of the Galaxy 4. Ironman 5. ‎Black Panther 6. Ironman 2 7. Captain America: The First Avenger 8. ‎Ironman 3 9. ‎Thor the Dark World 10. Thor 11. Hulk Guardians of the Galaxy is an amazing MCU movie. It of course has great action and hilarious moments, but this movie also has some emotional moments with the beginning scene and the end with Star Lord reaching out for Gamora. Ranking this was really hard. I almost put GotG at 4, but I ended up putting it ahead of Ironman. - Zanfare

love Greg's recaps on the story

You can see that blue frog in Yondu's ship. And after it crashes it is the only thing he picks out of the dirt. You can also see this crystal frog in Guardians 2 in the funeral scene. So don't miss it.

Retrospectively coming off of XCU in review 39:35 is so much more funny now. "Lets put Kevin Bacon in RaguBagu" hahaha silly Nick

I just throw this out there, the 12% of a plan thing, Tim mentioned that it gets used other times, and on twitter at one point James Gunn said that a lot of writers use the number 12 for stuff like that because it's the highest one syllable number.

Great episode guys! Greg, during RaguBagu, I think you meant to say "Academy Award Winner Sam Rockwell" ;)

Shout out to the tv edited version of this movie. Durring the scene where they are booking the Guardians and Starlord does the wind up middle finger, a small info box covers the finger for censorship, and i actually think that is funnier than the uncensored version

Awersome episode. With Kevin though Guardians is my number 1.

perfect ranking, that top 3 is spot on so far!

Tim didn't like that Rocket needed to explain that Groot would die doing the "We are Groot" thing because the audience wouldn't think that he'd die. Then it changed too "It's not earned that he sacrificed himself" but then it became "Oh yeah it's weird that they survived that so the other points now make sense" Also didn't Gamora, Drax and Rocket all sacrifice themselves by touching the Power Stone? They didn't know it would work. Didn't Starlord sacrifice himself for Gamora in space? Why were those earned by Groot's death wasn't?

HE WROTE SCOOBY-DOO!? I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!

I recommend diving back into the Telltale game *Greg.* It really turns up after the first episode. Plus every episode is out now so you just cruise through it and it's of course an easy platinum.

We have moved past my top three MCU movies at this point, which are... 1.Captain America: Civil War (77%) 2.Guardians of the Galaxy (75%) 3.Black Panther (71%) I'll reiterate that Avengers sits rightfully near the bottom of my list. The only ones that I haven't rewatched, rated and ranked yet are Spiderman Homecoming and Thor Ragnarok. Looking forward to those two (the first MCU movies that I'll be watching in 4K with Dolby Vision), but I feel confident that they won't break top 3. edit: wait, nah I got mixed up between Winter Soldier and Civil War. KF hasn't hit Civil War yet. THAT should be interesting, especially considering Nicks fixation on ensemble stuff. So my ranking, discounting Civil War would be... 1.Guardians of the Galaxy (75%) 2.Black Panther (71%) 3.Iron Man 3 (69%)

i love watching them come to the end of the argument at 1:23:13 and greggs just like hmm, what will i choose.. who will i upset..

I love GOTG way more than The Avengers, my favorite MCU movie hands down. LOVE the podcast!

Kevin is in the honeymoon phase for every episode

This was and still is one of my favorite movies in the MCU. I'm so ready to see what the guys think of this.

I love how good the consistency is with MCU movies that Age of Ultron is the only movie that has the potential to rank lower than the current #5. I don't know how they are still doing it.

Glenn Close was actually in Hook. She is dressed as a male pirate that gets put in the "boo boo box"

22 minutes mark, Andy just dies and nobody notices! You guys kill me

This film changed the whole direction of the marvel films. It made all marvel films not take them self too serious. I loved this film

By far the most fun MCU movie. So glad to see the impact of this movie on Thor 3, absolutely reinvigorated my faith in the MCU.

Thank you Nick for not backing down. Avengers is a better movie

I'm glad that Nick is there as a counter weight. I mean I love Guardians, but it's not the best MCU movie, which is basically what they're arguing right now...because besides homecoming it's not going to have much competition. I like do like the list though, for the most part, but i'd probably throw iron man ahead of avengers and I feel like guardians is on par with Avengers as far as my enjoyment is concerned. They're all fantastic movies, so it's not a big deal! I also agree with Nick that the sequence with the "net" was just silly. Also, I'd say that they aren't giving Iron Man enough credit either. It's a damned entertaining movie. The one problem I have with Guardians is that they try and throw jokes in where they do not belong at times, or they tell a joke that feels half baked and could probably have been improved upon! Do love the movie, but that would be a critique.

agree with nick on all his points guardians ranks high for me too but ironman avengers and winter soldier are the far superior movies

Loved the video, but in the end credits, Portillo should've been Cosmo

I feel like it goes below black panther. It's honestly kind of just a comedy where so many of these movies are more than that.

I love Nick but his taste in movies is questionable.

Nick's obsession with the first Iron Man is getting outrageous

I’m pretty sure that the last easter egg that “no one has found” was found…if anyone doubts me i’ll reply with the link.

Totally agree with Kevin and Andy on this, I think GOTG is top of the list.

Drax: Why call the little one Groot if he isn't the same? Rocket: Eh, I don't wanna find a new name for each time this happens.

Nick seriously needs to re-watch Iron Man again... Somehow he's already delusional about it, I don't know how he could possibly say it's more "fun" than Guardians.

I was so excited to rewatch this movie, and then after I did I think I came to the realization the Guardians movies might just not be for me. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but especially the first act, just slogs and I don’t think everything quite works as well as I remember

10. Thor: The Dark World 9. The Incredible Hulk 8. Iron Man 2 7. Iron Man 3 6. Thor 5. Captain America: The First Avenger 4. Captain America: The Winter Soldier 3. The Avengers 2. Iron Man 1. Guardians of the Galaxy

If I had $1,000, I would take over the RaGuBaGu Twitter, and just spam it with the Dark Elves. Talking about how they're the best Bad Guys in the MCU, and that's a Rad Guys Fact! So, if someone DOES have an extra $1,000, please do that.

First thumps up!

I’d love to see you guys do the X-men movies when you’re done the marvel films

Controversial opinion: This film hasn't aged as well as Avengers and has little depth aside from being a comedy. The sequel blows it away as a more character driven film.

Now up to where we are now my top 3 are 1. Black Panther 2. Thor: Ragnarok 3. Guardians Of The Galaxy

So has this show turned into just one long recap of the movie?

Andy giving Nick a run for his money on the impression Front.

I agree with nick its 4 best no more,kevin is crazy to put it number 1 but i guess you like what you like

thumbs up to andy and kevin. nick just refuses to listen to other people trying to make their point he wont stop interupting

What about the abs from black panther??

Oh god the hilarity starting at like 21:38 is too good for this broken world

Nick. If the entire iron man movie was as good as the first 2/3, it would probably be the best movie in the whole MCU. But the final act is BAD. That weighs down the movie quite a bit.

I feel like Groot had to die in GotG 1 because he was essentially their Get Out Of Anything card. Deus Ex Arboria, if you will. Giant badguy giving you shit? Groot. Thing you need is out of reach? Groot. Too dark to see? Groot. Two dozen bad guys come out of nowhere? Groot. Falling ship is going to pancake you and your new friends? Groot. As for the 'not earned' thing... I feel like it is very much earned, but it's not really overtly apparent. Groot is Rocket's humanity, in a way. He's a 'freak', like Rocket, his one true friend before all of this but he doesn't pander or acquiesce to Rocket. He's fiercely loyal, watches out for Rocket and sometimes steers him in the right direction when Rocket becomes overly chaotic or nihilistic. He's a partner. All of that is pretty well telegraphed from a character who only communicates in a three word phrase. Maybe it's a plot contrivance and Groot didn't need to die, but it delivered pathos in a way I don't think many of these movies have done, certainly not so effectively in a self contained movie. Like, I really enjoy a lot of these MCU movies, but Rocket mourning Groot after Ronan's defeat, openly weeping over the charred remains of the only thing that ever cared for or understood him?? I felt full on sympathy for Rocket. An animated raccoon that I didn't know shit one about before walking into the theater. That is CRAZY. I wouldn't change that series of events at all.

This was a great review but I’m still not over the fact that Bill O’Reilly was accidentally mentioned here. Greg is my special boy.

Instead of rewatching the mcu movies, rewatching all the mcu in reviews 😁

Proof that Andy is a god at 30:32 If he pulled that out of his ass for real. Bravo my boy.... bravo

wait, Nick doesn't agree that Winter Soldier is #1? THAT is blasphemous!

My rankings so far 1) Winter Soldier 2) Avengers 3) Guardians of the Galaxy 4) Iron Man 5) Iron Man 3 6) Captain America: The First Avenger 7) Black Panther 8) Thor 9) Hulk 10) Iron Man 2 11) Thor The Dark World

I enjoy these more than the movies!!!! As long as it's above iron man im cool. Wouldn't be mad at the 2 spot.

The Milk Dud moment got me 😂😂😂😂

Guardians is my favorite mcu movie. So good. The tone the pacing the comedy and the action are done just perfect. Did Tim forget about a huge ass ship crashing and blowing up? Pretty sure groot took a lot of damage. Come on Tim don't be dumb.

Guardians and Ragnarok are a toss up for my #1.

Finally, watched Black Panther, here is the updated ranking. Movies 1) The Avengers 2) Black Panther 3) Captain America Winter Soldier 4) Guardians of the Galaxy 5) Iron Man II 6) Iron Man 7) Captain America 8) Iron Man III 9) Thor 10) Incredible Hulk 11) Thor II Villains S-Tier 1) Loki 2) Erik Killmonger 3) Justin Hammer A-Tier 4) Abomination 5) Red Skull 6) Arnim Zola 7) Whiplash B-Tier 8) Iron Monger 9) Aldrich Killian 10) Ronan C-Tier 11) Frost Giants 12) Dark Elves 13) Chitauri

"We have nets to throw at bad guys in case they throw fish at us!" Hahaha!!!

22:47 “He looks like a nigga roll-mat.”

I agree with Kevin. It’s #1

I'll have to admit... in the last 6 years since Avengers came out, I have always been in the camp of saying, it's my favorite MCU movie of the entire saga. However, now that I have rewatched Guardians, I'm kinda switching to the side of "It's better than Avengers" (even by only a fraction). The thing is... The Avengers has a strong start, but the movie has a huge chunk where nothing is happening, like getting the Avengers on the helicarrier, flying around the helicarrier until the attack of brainwashed Hawkeye. Of course, the last half of the movie is god-like and it still has the most satisfying scenes of the entire MCU. Also due to the fact that this is the culmination of 5 movies that were shown before it. Guardians on the other side... also has some dragging parts, but they are gone quicker than in Avengers. And James Gunn actually managed to compress basically the entire first Phase of the MCU together and distilled it into this gem of a movie. Also 10cc's I'm not in love beats Eiffel 65's Blue (Da Ba Dee) by a mile as the best cold open intro song. (that subpodcast somehow is missing... rank the best pop & rock songs within the soundtracks).

The best marvel reviews

Guardians is far better than the Avengers and Winter Soldier. Not even close.

It's 2024 and Greg hasn't changed a bit😊

My ranking is so different from the KF ranking. Happy that Avengers was ranked higher than Guardians, but i lose sleep thinking about how Winter Soldier is ranked NUMBER ONE and Black Panther is getting pushed lower and lower.

1. Avengers 2. Guardians of the galaxy 3. RDJ 4. Cap 2 5. RDJ 2 6. Cap 1 7. RDJ 3 8. Black Panther 9. Hulk 10. Thor 2 11. Thor

Glenn Close has said she only did the movie for the money.

Missed opportunity yo use Portilo as Cosmo.

My childhood blanket was a bubby. I've never heard of a wubby.

Haha I wish Tim Gunn were in this movie. It's Sean Gunn.

1) Black Panther 2) Captain America: The Winter Soldier 3) Iron Man 3 4) The Avengers 5) Iron Man 6) Captain America: The First Avenger 7) Guardians of the Galaxy 8) Iron Man 2 9) The Incredible Hulk 10) Thor 11) Thor: The Dark World

Ahhh yeah my favorite Marvel movie
