"Does she have any extra powers that come with being green?" Yes. She's nearly invisible whilst in foliage.

To think this movie and Captain America: The Winter Soldier came out in the same year. What a great year for the MCU.

I didn't even realize until your video that the narrative function of the 26-year time jump is to illustrate the change in Peter from standing up for defenseless animals to kicking them in the next scene, which I now realize gives his line toward the end more weight, "Life is giving us a chance to give a shit" because that's his arc! He goes from caring about life to losing his mom to not caring about anything to meeting the other Guardians and finally growing to care about life again. Like wow, I love James Gunn's approach to storytelling! Nine years since I first saw this movie and I'm still finding new artistry in it!

Two of my favorite lines: "I have lived most of my life surrounded by my enemies. I will be grateful to die among friends." And: "We Are Groot."

Just to clarify the Collector was not given the Teseract by Thor’s buddies. They gave him the Eether (the red fluid stuff). The Teseract is still being kept on Asgard. And yeah, the Collector still has the Eether. Must have kept it somewhere off site.

"They lie. They deceive. They pretend they're dead and then they're not." 😂😂😂 Toxic friends are the worst!

Sean Gunn, who played Kirk on Gilmore Girls and plays Kraglin in this movie, also does all the motion capture for Rocket. Incidently, he is the brother of James Gunn, who wrote and directed this.

As someone who loves his mother very much, the beginning gets me watery eyed every time. I barely knew about the team, but even though I think this adaptation is different than the comics, I still feel that this is amazing. "We are Groot" gets me bawling every time as well. On top of it all, this is just a fun film to watch and a great addition to the MCU plus the soundtrack is awesome.

She already has a smile that would bring down the side of a mountain & she's wearing yellow... Can she be any brighter? ❤❤ Love her reactions. She's hands down my favorite. Can't wait for her reactions for the rest of the Marvel movies.

As a 55 year old man who saw this 3 times in the theatre it reminded me of when I saw Star Wars as a kid. Even now I teared up at all the mother / son stuff. The idea that he wants to go by Starlord because it was his mom’s pet name for him. Also loved Groot’s reaction after killing all those guys - like a dog that just got done shaking a squirrel to death.

You're right, Gamora, Drax, and Rocket spread the power of the stone through themselves when they touched Quill at the climax. The Collector explains that a group of people were able to do the same thing at some earlier point in history when he tells them about the stones, but also points out that those people could only control the power for a finite amount of time, so presumably these guys also couldn't have used it indefinitely.

37:29 Yes When the Collector was explaining the lore about the Infinity Stones, he did mention a group that had tried to channel the power through themselves but were only able to do so for a brief moment before being destroyed by it

Zoe Saldana (Gamora) is a very good actress. In addition to the MCU she also plays Neytiri in the Avatar movies, and Lt Uhura in the recent Star Trek Movies.

Jax, the Asgardians didn't give the Collector the Tesseract (aka the Space Stone). They gave him the Reality Stone (aka the Aether). The Tesseract is still in Asgard's possession.

Djimon Hounsou was Korath the Pursuer in Guardians of the Galaxy but he also was the voice of Drago Bludvist in How to Train Your Dragon 2.

Just caught up on your Marvel series and I'm all in! Thank you for the content, I love reliving these movies.

Literally found your channel this morning Jax. Love your reactions 🔥.

Don’t worry. You’ll be getting MUCH more familiar with the Infinity stones and why people want them. Also the final end scene was an Easter egg for Marvel fans. The talking duck was Howard the Duck. A well loved mainly comedic Marvel character.

The "Pushing Daisies" image at 7:35 made my whole week. Also, if you're ever about to be exposed to the vacuum of space you do NOT want to hold your breath. You should in fact try to expel as much air from your lungs first as possible (though the extra time it buys you is still measured in seconds...)

Thank you so much for your reactions Jax! They are so genuine, fun and really react to the heart of what something is 💖I love your little clips and pictures you use too! Every single time I hear Peter say "legendary outlaw" I always think of Flynn Rider 😆

There are a total of 6 Infinity Stones. The Blue Stone was introduced in Captain America: The First Avenger (Space Stone). The Red Stone that was in Thor: The Dark World (Reality Stone). And now u just been introduced to the Purple Stone (Power Stone) in Guardians. You will be introduced to more of the infinity stones later on down the line.

The dog in the end is a real comic book character created by Stan Lee, his name is Cosmo the space dog. This is one of my favorite movies as well as the second one. Glad you enjoyed it!

22:57 This wasn't scripted. Chris genuinely dropped the orb here but stayed in character, recovered it and the director loved it so they kept it in.

31:45 Jax, Groot's language is that.. Groot language is actually 3 or 4 syllables. But those who know language, they can still understand what Groot is saying. Like Rocket can understand him. Peter quill should be able to understand him as well, given he has Universal Translator imbedded in his neck. (The info screen in the prison when they were locked up showed all the information about them including the chip in the neck)

As always, a delight to see you enjoying these films. Thanks.

This is my favorite Marvel movie. I love the characters, the soundtrack, the emotion, the action, and most importantly, the humor. It's hits all of the notes. Just like Die Hard.

I first saw Lee Pace(Ronan) in the two seasons of the fantasy series, "Pushing Daisies," along with Anna Friel, Chi McBride, Kristen Chenowith, Ellen Green, ans Swoozie Kurtz. It is one of my favorite series.

I can never get enough of this woman's voice. Either she's a professional VA or she's the most blessed woman on the planet, because her voice is ABSOLUTELY warm, gilded silk

Odin also explained the Infinity Stones in The Dark World. The Infinity Stones that have been confirmed at this point in the MCU are the Tesseract, the Aether, and the Orb. I'm leaving this part vague to avoid spoilers. Each of them does have a different purpose, but they are all extremely powerful

The M.C.U. is, in general, amazing, but this is the best individual franchise in the whole awesome bunch. Hilarious comedy, heart-breaking drama, a stacked cast, and a brilliant soundtrack. Great reaction as always, Jax. Cheers and Happy Weekend from Canada. 🥃👍✌❤

"Oh he's magical. What is Groot?" He is Groot, and is a groot. You should take him seriously when he says, "I am Groot."

Thank you again for sharing this journey. This was the movie I was least interested in seeing but I ended up loving it. The actors all have excellent chemistry and work really well together. The comedy is so perfectly timed. I’m really glad you enjoyed this one and can’t wait to see the rest of these with you. As always, thank you!

Golly! They took these oddball misfit characters and made them beloved household names! All three of the Guardians movies (as well as the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, haha) have all gotten me to cry; they build such strong relationships, it's so well done.

To follow up on a couple of your thoughts. You were technically introduced to the Term "Infinity Stones" at the end of Thor: The Dark World. Volstagg says something like: "The Tesseract is already on Asgard. It's not wise to keep two Infinity Stones so close together" (When they met up with The Collector (which he follows up saying "1 down; 5 to go.") So that is at least 3 you are aware of and others maybe. 👀 Each has a name and power. Each power is different. The Orb is the Power Stone (so gives you incredible power), which is why it can "level a planet" the others don't have the same power, but are all Powerful. Since you can, through this logic, puzzle together that the Tesseract is also a Stone...its powers have gone from vague in Captain America: The First Avenger, to a bit more well-defined in The Avengers. If unclear, I'll just leave it at: The Tesseract was used to open a portal to let Loki in, and eventually to open a portal to let the Chitauri army in.

Jax, Jax, Jax.. .I always click on "like" before I even watch your videos, because you're one of my absolute favorites. But tonight, you went to platinum level: you used the "flesh wound" clip from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," my favorite movie!! 😁 A++ for you on this one! Isn't this movie fantastic?! The entire trilogy is amazing, with humor and action and quirkiness and so, so much heart. I can't wait for your reactions to the other two movies! (And, of course, all your other reactions.) Keep on being one of the best channels on the interwebs!!

Jax, your reactions are the best! You’re gorgeous, funny (the inserts and editing is also hilarious), you ask all the right questions & you show an appreciated amount of enthusiasm for content I love. My head canon, (based on what I understand about the comics and following movies), is that Quill, Gamora, Drax and Rocket were able to hold/wield the Power Stone, because all 4 of them are genetically enhanced versions of each of their species. As Nova Prime said to Peter, his biological father is something ancient and unknown.

I love the Howard the Duck cameo at the end

This was one of the best theatre going experiences I ever had. I’m really glad you’ve gotten to see this film, as in that the Guardians are the heart of the MCU and over the next several entries you become really attached to them (Vol. 3 really is one of the best MCU films ever). I remember my heart feeling so full after watching this back in 2014. And yes… they’ll be teaming up with the Avengers in the future. 😄

Yes, that is Kirk from Gilmore Girls. He's Sean Gunn, and he's actually the director's (James Gunn) brother. And a Walkman IS a casette player. They're the same thing. The Sony Walkman was the most common form of portable casette player, so all portable casette players came to be referred to as walkmans (walkmen?).

love the questions you're asking

The Guardians movies are probably my favorite franchise in the MCU. Without spoiling anything, I'll just say that the story genuinely only gets better as you see its sequels. Great reaction.

Your reactions are the best and your attention to detail is fantastic! You pick up on so much stuff that many people miss first time through these films. Rest assured your questions will be answered. As you said, you’re in the heart of it now and things are starting to converge a bit. But where this all goes…wow.

i dont know how many times i cried watching the climax. i love you watch your reactions because your smile are the sweetest. But this movie made me laugh and cry so hard in the cinema years ago. i cant wait for you to react to the Vol.2. love your videos. big hugs.

As always, such a fun reaction! There's something so satisfying in watching you laugh, smile, and gasp at movies. Keep that positivity up 💕

Oh yeah, inserting Ryan George references makes everything super easy, barely an inconvenience! Also, have to say I love the mini jam out dance session you had during the intro. The music in these movies is as well chosen as the cast.

I don't know if you noticed the name of the ship is Milano. He named it after Alyssa Milano.

Fantastic review, Jacqueline! I love how your enthusiasm as a Marvel fan shines through in your reactions to "Guardians of the Galaxy." It's great to see you appreciate the engaging plot, memorable characters, and the clever humor that sets this film apart. Your comparisons to Jack Sparrow and the connections you found for "Gilmore Girls" fans add a unique perspective. I agree that the balance between darker elements and heartwarming moments is commendable, and the chemistry between the characters is a standout. Keep up the great work, and I can't wait to read more of your insightful reviews!

This is my first time watching you, but I think I love you and I subbed after like 5 minutes 😀 Keep up the good work 🙂

Wonderful reactions from Jax, that made it seem as if she had never seen this film before! :) And I'm sure the Guardians of the Galaxy film was in this reaction video, but I have to admit that I found myself captivated by Jax and her beautiful eyes, gorgeous smile and wonderful laugh!

Another great I guess re-reaction. Next up is Avengers Age of Ultron. Dont let anyone tell you its lesser. It's a fantastic movie, filled with heart and humor and action. It's a great movie, you'll love it, bring tissues.

I love rewatching these movies with you! to be honest, you're keeping up with the overall plot far better than I did the first time around 🤣

WHOAAAAA First Captain America is your favourite about time someone appreciate how good that movie is

10:54 Excellent cut-away. 24:31 And another. 😂 (They were all good, but those two were hilarious). 13:02 Given the setting and what he said, he's really more of a prison rapist than a bully. Fun Fact: Voiced by the great Nathan Fillion. 👍 21:48 "Pelvic Sorcery" is one of the greatest turns-of-phrase in linguistic history. 🤣 23:01 We love The Collector, but he's definitely evil. It's complicated. 🤔 31:33 What is Groot? We are Groot. 🥰 35:31 And again... 😢

James Gunn is definitely one of the best CBM directors out and now he’s the Co-CEO of DC Studios lmao

32:58 There are a total of 6 infinity stones and each control an essential aspect of the universe. I can tell you now those aspects are Space, Mind, Power, Reality, Time, and Soul. Each are a different color and each have different effects/capabilities. The colors are Red, Blue, Purple, Yellow, Orange, and Green. Its hard to find them considering their age, the size of the universe, and the size of the stones themselves. For example, the planet of Morag we saw at the beginning of the movie where Peter found the Orb was a tidal planet almost entirely covered by water and that portion of the planet is underwater for 300 years at a time until tides recede for 1 rotation (1 'day'). Talk about timing! We learned in Thor The Dark World that the Aether is one of the Infinity Stones and although it can take the form of a stone it is usually in a fluidic form and it is the Reality stone (Red). We know that the Tesseract is a stone and we can sort of guess its the Space stone because of its ability to open portals and transport people/things (Blue). We see in this movie the purple stone and we can guess its the Power stone considering.....well, the immense power it grants the wielder. I walso want to point out the Power stone is the only one with the requirement that the wielder is inherently powerful enough to withstand the stone to properly wield it. When you're weak like the pink slave girl you just....explode. When you're powerful like Ronan or Thanos you're fine. Aside from that nothing else is 100% confirmed by where you are in the MCU but yes Thanos is the big bad guy through all of this and the first 23 MCU movies are collectively known as the Infinity Saga. We can also tease you and say there is a 4th infinity stone you have seen in action and learned of but there is a more proper movie for you to realize it coming soon....

I believe Terra is the Latin word for Earth or Land. It’s the Root of words like Terrestrial or Terrain, territory, etc.. Great top! Yellow is a nice color on you, it compliments your hair, which also, your hair looks great too btw! I get the feeling you’re right around the same age as me, cause you make a lot of references I totally get, and that doesn’t always happen, I was born May 31, 86’, class of 04’ am I close???

we need more MCU reactions!!!!! Like maybe every 3 days

Guardians of the Galaxy is a really good movie and I love how different it is from all the previous ones. More colors, a little different humor. Perhaps this is the picture that brought something more like comics. And I'm waiting for your reaction to the following films, in particular Doctor Strange and civil var, I really want to see, I think you will really like them. I hope you don’t spoil anything in the comments, because it will really make the viewing not so intriguing and exciting, so I hope you have moderation! :)

Wow, that was so much fun! First thing I want to say is *Thank You* for saying right up front that you had already seen this movie. Love your honesty as much as I love your reactions. Seeing as it was 10+ years ago I am not surprised that you didn't remember much of it. While this movie stands great on its own, it is even better when you have the context of the previous nine MCU films that have paved the way and teased the existence of the Infinity Stones. (wow, you are into the double digits!) I am glad you liked Lee Pace as Ronan the Accuser. I thought he played the role well and made a decent enemy, although many people treat him as one of the more forgettable villains of the MCU. It was a good job and he carried weight to his menace. One of the other things I always praise this movie for: *This* is the way you introduce an entire team of characters and get the audience to love them. There have been other superhero films that tried to bring together a big cast and failed to pull it off to this degree. This had great humor that hit every note, as well as a soundtrack that was amazing. If you can immerse yourself into the movie it is one of the most fun movies I have ever watched. The greatest movie of all time? Not by a long shot, but it sure was fun.

42:57 - "Was that it?!" What more do you want than Howard the Duck! Howard the Duck was a cheesy 80's movie, that I actually liked. Great reaction. Take care.

"Does he have to hold his breath?" Nope. Holding air in your lungs in a vacuum is not what you want to do. You have to exhale, and then, well, pray. Another excellent reaction. You're a joy to watch!

Mais uma vez amei assistir novamente Guardiões da Galáxia vol. 1 com você.❤❤❤🇧🇷🇧🇷

7:02 Terra - Latin for "the Earth itself." So anyone from Earth would be "Terran." This is the root for words like territory.

The guy you know from Gilmore Girls, Sean Gunn, is the brother of this movie's director James Gunn =) Sean also did the motion capture for Rocket. The Infinity Stones have different powers, but you'll learn along the way ;)

Siii la mejor pelicula que queria que reaccionara 🎉😎

Jax this ain't fair okay.. we need more content from you. Post at least every Monday and every Friday. Please.. 😢😢

This movie still remains to be one my favorite movies in the entire MCU franchise. Possibly just movie in general. It introduced me to my favorite character being Rocket and my favorite found family.

so glad i found your channel, welcome to the fandom lol can’t wait to see your reactions to everything else

Hey, Jacqueline! You don't have to wait to find out what happens next! According to director James Gunn and Kevin Feige, "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" occurs just MONTHS LATER in 2014 before "Avengers: Age of Ultron" in 2015! You have the option of seeing it next WITHOUT SPOILING anything that comes after. Alternatively, you can see it five movies down the road by following release order. Either way works. It's up to you!

I’m really looking forward to her ‘Captain America: Civil War’ reaction. Most reactors at least drop hints as to whether they’ll be Team Cap or Team Iron Man, but Jacqueline remains an absolute mystery. It’ll *definitely* be a total surprise.

"Pelvic sorcery..." My absolute favorite new term from this movie. :)

genuinely thank you for these reaction videos

I don't know why no one ever talks about it but I feel bad for Peter's grandparents. They lose their daughter and grandson only minutes apart and are never mentioned again. We can only imagine that they probably searched for Peter for the rest of their lives and never knew what happened to him. Every time I watch this I think about it. 😪

"What is this movie? I don't remember any of this. I remember a racoon that talked." I literally laughed out loud when you said that. I love your movie reactions. One quick correction though. It's Captain Jack Sparrow. As I've mentioned before I don't follow the MCU or superhero movies, but this looked cool, so I watched it in the theater when it came out. I also forgot most of it. So, don't feel bad that you didn't remember it that well. I love your pop ups, your information, your clips and other edits you add during the watching. Even when they correct your mistakes. Not that you're ever wrong, of course. And last but not least your awesome laugh. Being this has such a great soundtrack, what's your favorite song from this movie? What do dentists call their x-rays? Tooth pics.

The Collector told them a story, how a group of people were able to hold the stone for a time. You didn't pay attention.

Thank you for sharing your videos with us. It’s fun to watch others enjoy the movies I love. 👍🙂❤️

As usual, this reaction was super-fun to watch. Can't wait for you to continue this amazing ride

Every stone has its own power, but all of them can destroy weak owner.

Last month we got to see Guardians vol 3 and it was so emotional and it's good rematch these reactions with and you and see/spot all the connections and callbacks. You're in for a long but a fun ride Jax😊

As with so much of the MCU, the scattering of seeds that bear fruit, beyond Peter, in future movies is an endlessly re-watchable joy of this excellent installment.

OM goodness, I LOVE your content!! ESPECIALLY with Lamby, it's so funny... Keep up your awesome work...

Great reaction 😅. Always fun, wholesome, and hilarious. Keep it up

The duck at the end is Howard the Duck. He's the star of director James Gunn's favorite Eighties Marvel movie, so he had to put him somewhere.

I really been loving your Marvel movie reactions Jax.😃🥰

42:22 As far as I can recall, the explanation of what Thanos is, by implication, only comes wayyyy later in the MCU: The Eternals movie, I believe? And even then, it's not explicitly stated-- and what little knowledge I have heard from the comics helps me understand a little more-- but as far as I know, the MCU hasn't properly explained why he was the way that he was (in terms of appearance and power), but they do eventually delve into his motivations

Terran - an inhabitant of the planet Terra. Etymology i.e. meaning of the word Terra... Latin for Earth. Terra Cotta is a type of clay pot. Terra Cotta is latin for baked earth. So now you have learned the meaning of two new things. 😅 Gamora is a member of the Zen-Whoberi species. Her abilities include, superhuman strength, enhanced agility, durability and reflexes, and a regenerative healing factor. She is trained as a martial artist and in hand to hand combat. She also has training in marksmanship and swordplay. She also is trained to be an assassin. She has been called the Most Dangerous Woman in the Universe as well as The most Deadly Woman in the Universe. 😮 The Infinity Stones do serve a purpose other than just pure destruction. So far you have been introduced to the Space Stone i.e. The Tesseract, The Reality Stone i.e. The Ether and The Power Stone i.e. The Orb. We were told the Tesseract is a doorway into space. The Ether was used by Malekith the Dark Elf in an attempt to alter the universe back into darkness. The Power Stone was used by a Celestial to destroy an entire planet. So three down and three to go...😂

The fact that you didn’t recognize Peter Serafinowicz (Saal) made me a little sad, but I realized you’d be able to see his comedy with fresh eyes, and I got jealous!

Why you don't have a million subs yet is beyond me. Thanks for your reactions, Jax!

Hi there, Jax! I'm a relative newcomer to your channel and I am absolutely loving your MCU journey. Anytime I see anyone reacting to the epic Infinity Saga for the first time, I just love seeing their reactions, yourself included! I adore seeing you have so much fun. 😊

Michael Rooker aka Yondu has a long career in movies. His character, Yondu controls the arrow-type weapon by whistling. Jax, by the way, did you noticed talking duck with Collector at the end? Talking duck is Howard The Duck. I was going to informed you about this movie, 1986's Howard The Duck, but you can react to it for your honest reactions. George Lucas of Star Wars fame produced this movie. Because of Guardians, possible new or reboot of Howard The Duck.

So glad ou like this one, Jaxx.... it's definitely onr of my fave MCU movies for sure. Just so good. :) I think the Guardians are in four (maybe five?) movies altogether, so there's plenty more of them to come. :) These ones are so entertaining and so funny. :)

Love the reactions you have had and you have a lovely smile.

What should have been an outtake stayed in the film. At 22:58 Chris Pratt actually fumbled the orb and recovered. The accident fit in perfectly with the character and situation, so it wasn’t replaced. Instead, they added the metallic thump of it hitting the floor.

Such great questions about the infinity stones!!! You are thinking a lot more about this than I did when I watched the first time. I think you'll have a lot of fun with the next several movies!!!

I swear, I mean i love the reaction, but I honestly cannot help but crack up at your memes and stuff in the editing lmao, really great job hahahaha. I dont know what I can say what anyone else in the comments didnt already say. I know you have your own reaction schedule...etc, but I hope you dont mind if i suggest something you can add on your list. A movie that recently came out in theatres and is now on digital. "Dungeons and Dragons: Honour among Thieves", an excellent fantasy adventure comedy movie. Chris Pine is the main character and this movie was so much fun, great story with heart, great action, hilarious! also loved by audiences and critics alike (90% on RT). You dont need any previous knowledge about anything to enjoy this movie and I think you'll really love it, would certainly make for a fun reaction. Hope you add it to your list. Well, another fantastic reaction and I look forward to the next one!

This was awesome watching this with you as a Marvel fan I know all the answers to your questions one thing I'll tell you after you are finished with all the movies and go back and rewatch you will understand how everything and everyone one comes together. IN age of Ultron there will be another infinity stone can't wait to watch it with you you'll love it !!

This movie is awesome just for the soundtrack alone. It also has an amazing story and so many great sub-plots. As always your reaction and thoughtful insights are a joy to watch. Thanks for sharing. 👍

"How did Rocket become so smart?" 19:05 Just wait until you get to Guardians 3!

41:24 Hey Jax, Let me clear it for you, Peter was able to hold the stone and not die cuz as mention in the movie after that scene, his dna is only half human, and the other half is unknown, so he is different.. and the others holding it helped him out. Also you will get to know more about infinity stones in Avengers: Age of Ultron

There are so many funny scenes in this movie! Thank you for sharing.
