It has been brought to my attention that I mistakenly labeled Mr. Dave Bautista (aka our beloved red muscle man, Drax) as a UFC Fighter instead of professional wrestler. I would hereby like to apologize to the UFC, the WWE, all of their fans, and most of all Mr. Bautista. Mr. Bautista, sir, I am so sorry to disrespect you in such a horrendous manner. If you can find it in your huge, tender, and literal heart to forgive my great error, I will refrain from finding a way to teleport to your location and apologize in person in the form of long form poetry in iambic pentameter. I’m not a poet. This is hard for me. So is research, apparently. I. Am. SO. Sorry.

This was the movie where everyone went "The who now?" No one who wasn't a die hard comic person had no idea who they were. Everyone was skeptical because of how unknown it was, and how would they juggle the development of 5 new characters. And James freakin Gunn brought us a top tier comic book movie.

This is the movie that started to instill trust in me that Marvel truly knew what they were doing. I mean, up to this point I was already along for the ride...but when they announced this movie, as a comic book reader as a kid, I had heard of them...but barely knew who they were, and I thought it was incredibly risky for Marvel to bring D-List characters into the mix that most people won't know. Then they nailed it. I knew, once they got this so right, that the MCU was going to be something truly special. Then they announced Ant-Man....NAILED THAT...and I never doubted Marvel again. They can announce Squirrel Girl tomorrow and I'm going to be down for it because I know they'll get it right.

'I also haven't watched Star Wars' Okay Meg, you need to do this for 2 reasons: a) Star Wars is awesome! b) HAVE YOU SEEN THE NUMBER OF VIEWS ON VIDEOS WHICH HAVE STAR WARS FIRST TIME REACTION IN THE TITLE???? Loved the video as always!

I like to think of Parks and Rec as an alternate reality where Peter never got abducted by Yondu.

Guardians of the Galaxy is the MCU film I have been wanting to watch the most, and y’all’s reactions make me want to watch it now more than ever. If you liked the comedic tone and are interested in more of James Gunn’s work, I highly recommend The Suicide Squad (2021)! Warner Brothers basically gave Gunn full creative range to pick any DC property and do whatever he wanted with it. It’s part of the DCEU though if you’re planning on reacting to that series in the future!

It was great re-watching one of my favorite movies of recent years (recent decades, actually) through fresh eyes, reminding me what an incredibly FUN movie this is!

For the longest time I had thought that Baby Groot was just Groot being regrown, but they're actually the original Groot's child, and Groot really did die, which just made me sad when I found out.

10:20 Mark! In her own skin, she can fight as "Uhura" in three "Star Trek" movies made since 2009. In blue skin, she fights in the "Avatar" movies. I think she does her best fighting in green skin! 😎 How well she has fought in other movies, I don't recall. 🤷‍♂️

27:55 Mark! Howard The Duck already has his own movie, and it was made by George Lucas and company. Actress Lea Thompson plays his Earth girl love interest! "Earth Girls are Easy" is a separate movie. 😊

💚 You Meg! Your emotional reactions to all these movies are so raw and pure. You both radiate so much genuine energy and are a pleasure to know and watch on this journey.

16:41 Mark! You two should love her as "Ruby Roundhouse" and "Amelia 'Amy' Williams nee Pond"! ❤️ 😊

God this movie is such a crazy and fun ride. I wasn’t too familiar with the Guardians in the comics so a lot of this was an introduction for me when I first watched it but after watching, I absolutely love them. I can’t get enough of how literal Drax is with what he says. Plus the actor Dave Bautista is such an awesome guy and I’ve always loved him ever since he was doing pro wrestling. And of course I love Groot and Rocket's relationship so much. Groot is definitely the standout for me in this movie. I just love how wholesome he is even if he’s saying “I am Groot.” But I also love how he can be well feared especially with how unique his powers are. You also finally got to meet the big purple Mad Titan himself, Thanos. He plays a very significant and important role in the later movies. Also I agree that the visuals in this movie are stunning. Definitely one of my favorite MCU movies for the visuals alone. Thanks for another amazing MCU reaction Meg and Caleb! Next up is the second Avengers movie, Age of Ultron! Can’t wait!!

If you really enjoy this team up, I would highly, HIGHLY recommend the Guardians of the Galaxy game. The cast was different but shared the same overall characteristic traits. It was one of the best games of 2021 and hits you in the feels just as hard as both GotG films.

I loved the after credit scene: shout out to Howard the Duck! lol

So excited for you guys to check phase 3, great reaction as always!!!

Not UFC fighter... He was WWE wrestler...

16:32 Keep in mind, this is in jest but… It’s hilarious how Meg and Caleb back up Loki at every turn because of his “poor childhood and upbringing” and yet they throw Nebula (who was brought up by Thanos) to the wolves. I’m sure you’ll love Nebula in time haha

They all showed their insecurities…..except for Groot. He’s just vibing and happy to meet new people.

I've only recently found your channel and I think you guys are twice as funny as you think you are. Lol. You guys are pretty cool and I'm glad I found you. Your analysis of how people come together and bond through fate or random circumstances was really amazing. I recently read a quote that goes along with that notion. "God knows how to make people like you. Sometimes they don't even know why. They can't put their finger on it. There's just something about you." You guys fit that bill as well. I love your personalities and your bond with each other. Your smiles and laughter are contagious. And your sense of humor is fantastic. I realize I'm new here, but I hope I can be considered one of your weirdos. It would mean a lot. I'm gonna go binge your other stuff now. Thank you for your channel! P.s. Thanos is played by an actor who got his start, as a kid, as the older brother in The Goonies. Would love to see you guys react to that if you haven't seen it. Sean Austin (Samwise Gamgie from LOTR) is also in it as a very young boy. Great movie. So hilarious.

1.4K Thumbs Up + Mine! 👍 You're welcome, and thanks! ☺️ Notes: Are you two aware of, or are you two not aware of, the existence of "The Tommy Westphall Universe"? 🤔 It would be very nice if some reactors somewhere acknowledged it and talked about it. 😊

I love this movie because they literally defeat the villain with the power of friendship.

To me this movie is about sharing grief and pain. The way when gamora reaches out to peter at the end and peter sees his mom he is embracing his grief and with the help of his new friends and family they can get past their past trauma and grief. This one of my favourite mcu films and never fails to make me cry.

Howard The Duck in the end credits. He had a film back in 1986.

I love your reactions to the MCU! Also, you jumped 25 movies ahead and saw No Way Home?! Lol

I remember first hearing the title of this movie and thinking it was some sort of Star Trek rip-off. I’ll admit I was already throwing up my hands saying “Oh man, this isn’t going to work.” But man did it win me over fast! As such, to this day anytime Marvel Studios announces a project for characters I know little to nothing about, my first thought is “Go on…”

9:47 No Caleb before Dave Bautista was a UFC Fighter he was WWE Wrestler plus he never amounted to anything in the UFC unlike all the accolades he has on WWE

I LOVE your channel! I have been waiting for this all day. PS.. you guys are hilarious!

I saw this movie 4 times in the theaters. We. Are. Groot.

That Duck in the end is "Howard the Duck"...he is also a Marvel character!

Love you guys..... and I love the D&D tee-shirt.... just gave my nephew several of my 3rd edition books for him and his people to use to play and explore storytelling. Love the humor you two have between each of you and Caleb...... kudos to you for not leading into some of the scenes and jokes that were probably easy to get drawn into. Been subscribed to the channel for a minute now..... dating back to the GoW playrhroughs, and have just stuck around because y'all are both great! Keep it coming y'all..... you guys have blast with these, and more importantly..... you too LAUGH at some of the jokes that many see as "too serious." Congrats! Y'all nailed it; so keep.up the great work. Don't worry about trolls. End path for internet trolls does not often turn out to favorable odds, so my advice....... just dismiss their trolling ass(es), and read about them.on the 6 o'ock news as they try to knock over food trucks to make ends meet! You guys are both fan-fkn-tastic!

its always good to see you guys thanks for these videos

he's not UFC fighter, he's a WWE wrestler (Dave Bautista)

I love this movie and Rocket is my favorite 😊

On the subject of improvisation. Peter Quill dropped the ball when he wanted to hand it over to the collector. That wasn't in the script. The actor really did accidentally drop the ball.

Bautista is a UFC fighter now?

Yo! I have been waitinf for this

Omg Meg you should absolutely play the guardians of the galaxy video game that came out recently-ish on stream

After Watching Guardians 3. I really feel Rocket now 😢

really excited for you guys watching this, hope you do Snyders DC at some point

Hello:) how are you? I hope you doing well , and having a great day ☺️ Great video btw i enjoyed watching it Keep it up your doing amazing! 🙂

There is a part 2!!!

I really, really feel so bad for nebula

Guardians of the galaxy is after thor:the dark world

Of course she knows everything. She knows everything because she gets spoiled and guesses things that won;t even have been introduced. Crazy how she then hypes herself up. Like saying I knew Ravagers were supposed to bring Quill to his father, like what?

Reaction soul land tang San not when you're excited about the naruto anime,it's both considered useless guaranteed you won't regret it and every episode will make you curious about the anime

0:03 i am groot

Nice tee

The dog with the space suit that escaped the collectors place is a telepathic Russian Cosmonaut dog named Cosmo and he's amazing lmao i hope they bring him back in the future.

The dog you see in the spacesuit is actually a character from the comics. His name is Cosmo and he hails from the (former) Soviet Union. After getting mutated by cosmic radiation, much like what happened to the Fantastic Four, he developed psionic abilities like telekinesis and telepathic abilities. Funnily enough, when he speaks to people using telepathy, he has a somewhat heavy Russian accent.

Great reaction guys. This is one of my favorite Marvel movies. They weave everything together well, trust. As to batman, the first Tim Burton one has the levity necessary to make it the best representation to me.

James gunn at his peak

Hugo weaving, antagonist black suit wearing agent in #1 The Matrix. #2 The red mask in the original Captain America, #3 Elron, the brown haired fairy king, in Lord of the rings The fellowship of the ring. #4 the red mask again sentenced to serve at the gate for the Soul Stone, where Thanos sacrificed his daughter, and Natasha gave her life!

Love this and the second movie. Also, the PS5 game by Eidos deals with similar themes of grief and moving forward from it, I'd watch that playthrough. I saw her reaction coming when Groot gave that random kid a flower, that was so precious

D&D rep! You guys are hilarious, and obviously into each other. So important to appreciate each others' humor.

I'm in best place on KZfaq 🇧🇷

I hope you'll like Yondu at some pont

32:40 - Regarding your comments about the fun of the Batman Animated Series vs the seriousness of the Nolan Batman movies...just curious if you've seen the Adam West Batman TV show (or the 1966 Batman movie with Adam West)? If not, that would be a fun reaction to watch!

STAR WARS

Highly recommend playing the Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy game that came out last year, different take on them and it's hilarious.

Is this a reupload? I swear I’ve seen this intro before with you saying the exact same thing about the guy critiquing y’all. Weird deja vu.

The game is a lot of fun. It is sort of a mish mash of the comics and movies, but is still very fun

Dance off bro:)

Hey, Meg and Caleb! "Guardians of the Galaxy" was an acquired taste for me. I like my science fiction sober so it always surprises me when the zaniness of this franchise appeals to so many. I reacted negatively upon initially viewing this bizarre, star-hopping hodge-podge of juvenile lunacy because it was at such variance with the source material! There were two fantastic comic book iterations of the team that I felt outclassed the cinematic interpretation: Jim Valentino's '90s Guardians which exist in an alternate 31st-century and Dan Abnett/Andy Lanning's '00s Guardians which is the basis for the movies. Each member of the Valentino team was the sole survivor of their kind including a time-displaced 20th-century character who served the same function as Captain America did for the Avengers. They were freedom fighters struggling against an alien invader that occupied the solar system. The Abnett/Lanning team was cobbled together from a disparate group of characters who had been created by a variety of writers and artists throughout the decades such as Steve Engelhart, Mark Gruenwald, Jim Starlin, Chris Claremont, Gerry Conway, Jack Kirby and Stan Lee. The writing duo crafted a brilliant space opera that tied together all the elements of Marvel's cosmic gallery: the abstract entities, the Elder beings, the Celestials, Earth's space-based heroes and every major interstellar civilization. There was situational and character comedy naturally derived from a motley crew of misfits but the stories were serious and the stakes were real. Most everything is played for laughs in the film. Nevertheless, the humor mostly lands and there is an emotional resonance that carries the day. I do give director James Gunn tremendous credit for pushing the envelope and going for broke with these little-known characters bringing them to vivid life. He takes pains to authentically recreate Marvel's cosmic setting by incorporating organizations like the Nova Corps, facilities like the Kyln prison and wondrously grotesque objects like Knowhere, the severed head of a titanic Celestial that has been colonized by millions and mined of its cerebrospinal fluid! The cast is eclectic but fully committed to their characters which often deviate markedly from their comic counterparts. Chris Pratt is affable and affecting as Peter Quill but his bravado comes across as childish as opposed to the world-weary drifter Star-Lord is in the comics. Zoe Saldana is appropriately fierce as Gamora but is never given a proper showcase to confirm her as 'the deadliest woman in the galaxy'. Drax is presented as a fusion of the dense persona created by Jim Starlin in the '70s and the stoic bad-ass persona he evolved into under Abnett/Lanning. Dave Bautista's impressive comedic portrayal threads the needle between the two versions spectacularly making his character a stand-out! Bradley Cooper nails Rocket Raccoon as a smart-mouthed, bitter, nasty piece of work. The only character in the bunch actually created by Stan Lee is Groot whose enigmatic portrayal is comic accurate and highly distinctive. There was no need for Vin Diesel to be cast in this part but he apparently learned how to say "I am Groot" in fifteen languages! Diesel would have been ideally suited to play Ronan the Accuser had he been rendered with fidelity. Instead, Lee Pace, a fine actor, was made to portray him as a ridiculous maniac while his comic counterpart is much more noble and complex. When viewed chronologically, this is Ronan's second appearance in the saga as well as Korath's again played by Djimon Hounsou. Three other characters making their second bow are Taneleer Tivan, the Collector, reprised by Benicio del Toro, his red-skinned servant Carina reprised by Ophelia Lovibond and the Chitauri spokesman known as The Other reprised by Alexis Denisof. The Nova Corps of Xandar are introduced led by Glenn Close's Nova Prime in an elaborate wig! Most notable among the Corpsman are John C. Reilly's Rhomann Dey and Peter Serafinowicz's Denarian Saal. Sharif Atkins and Brendan Fehr also play nameless Nova Corpsman. The space pirate Nebula who claims Thanos as her grandfather in the comics is repurposed as Thanos' second adoptive daughter and Gamora's rival in the film where she is played by Karen Gillan. Thanos himself, only briefly glimpsed in "Avengers", finally emerges from the shadows played by Josh Brolin. Gunn rounds out the cast with his usual stable including Michael Rooker as the Centaurian Ravager Yondu Udonta. In the comics, Yondu is from the 31st-century Valentino team of Guardians and he uses a bow to fire his yaka arrows whereas the movie sets Yondu among the Abnett/Lanning team of Guardians and cleverly has him whistle to control the flight of his sound-sensitive yaka arrow. Other Gunn troupe members are the director's brother, Sean Gunn, as Ravager Kraglin, Nathan Fillion as the lewd CGI inmate who gets hoisted by his nostrils and Gregg Henry as Grandpa Quill. Laura Haddock plays cancer-stricken Meredith Quill and Wyatt Oleff of "It" plays young Peter. Tomas Arana has a bit part as the Kree Ambassador as does sepulchral-voiced Ralph Ineson as a Ravager pilot. Finally, Seth Green provides the voice of Howard the Duck! TRIVIA: 1. Chris Pratt lost sixty pounds for the role, Karen Gillan shaved her head and Vin Diesel stood on stilts when delivering his lines. 2. Director James Gunn rewarded any cast or crew member for especially good work with a can of Play-Doh. He gave out forty of them during the shoot. 3. Quill's ship, the 'Milano', is named after the character's childhood crush, Alyssa Milano. EASTER EGGS: 1. Cosmo, the telepathic canine cosmonaut seen among the Collector's possessions and licking him at the end, actually commands Knowhere station in the comics! 2. Bereet, the alien girl aboard the 'Milano', is a deep-dive reference to a Hulk story where a female alien by her name accompanied Hulk and recorded his adventures! 3. The Power Stone contained in the Orb is the fourth Infinity Stone seen in the saga! CAMEO: 1. Stan Lee appears as a Xandarian Lothario with funky shades flirting with a young woman while Rocket is seeking potential bounties with his scanner. END-CREDIT SCENES: 1. A potted Baby Groot sways to the soundtrack while Drax polishes his blades. When Drax perceives the motion out of the corner of his eye, he turns and Baby Groot freezes in place until Drax turns away whereupon the potted twig resumes to boogie. 2. Sitting morosely amid the ruins of his Collection, a bandaged Tivan sips a tropical drink while Cosmo sympathetically licks his face prompting Howard the Duck to remark how gross that is while sipping his own beverage from the shattered remains of his display case. The next chronological stop in the MCU are Episodes 1 - 10 of Season 2 of "Agents of SHIELD". You can go ahead and see "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" next out of release order sequence without spoiling anything because it chronologically takes place just months after the first film and before "Avengers: Age of Ultron" according to both Kevin Feige and director James Gunn.

Director James Gunn confirmed Groom died and Baby Groom was his offspring.

Y’all should watch Howard the duck it’s the first marvel movie(technically)

One thing I know that was unscripted in this movie that they ended up keeping was Peter dropping the orb in front of the Collector. Chris Pratt genuinely dropped it and picked it up and popped back up 😂 It obviously seemed like something Peter would actually do so it was kept in!

I think that you are funny. F* that jerk that gives you shitty comments.
