High Evolutionary's staff didn't turn on him because he called himself God (which he didn't do directly). They turned on him, because he was obsessing over Rocket Raccoon instead of abandoning his exploding ship.
I literally just got back from seeing it and his review is spot on. The worst of the three but the best Marvel movie in quite awhile. This is due to James Gunn directing and the cast being so strong. The movie is dark and the characters do cuss more. Gamora is straight up mean and nasty and Quill is the same guy with the exception that he’s willing to straight up kill people. There is one scene where he literally says “kill them all” which is not typical of Quill’s character. Rocket’s back story is dark as f**k and quite sad and there is a lot of death in the film. Also, he’s right about Adam Warlock. Starts out strong and interesting and turns to straight up garbage. Really no need for him to be in the film. The bad guy, who was in Peacemaker, is a strong villain. Drax, Mantis, Nebula are there usual selves though Nebula is softer now. A lot of useless side characters with a few being cool. An ok film. I give it a solid C+, maybe B-.
@@jjones9822 I think this is definitely better than the second film. Better humor, basically every character has better character moments in this movie than the previous, villain is better and i feel like most of the cast has better arcs in this film than the previous.
@@lightvader4618 what is the arc of the characters besides Rocket ? The ending comes out of nowhere because they never do anything leading to that decisions during the entire film.
@@jjones9822I really liked it! I like the darker tone and focus on Rocket, plus let’s be honest Even though Drax is still the subject of a few jokes, he’s the most badass here than he’s ever been!
@@Andyfierd I mean that's just false.. Peter Quill realizing that he shouldn't jump from woman to woman and that he could be happy without needing a woman and he does let Gamora go. And then also the theme of Rockets "I'm done running" goes with Quill as well as he goes back to Earth. Mantis gets bossed around and yelled at a lot by Nebula and Gamora and she realizes that the Guardians have been kinda telling her what to do and Ego did the same also so she's never really had true independence and that's why she goes on her own. It's kinda made clear and it's great that they address this that Drax has been kinda comic relief and that while he's kinda a dumbass it's very sincere and comes from a genuine place of love. He saves all the child slaves and becomes a dad again. Nebula kinda continues the arc she has been on for multiple movies where she has been closer and closer to the Guardians and she loves them and she genuinely thinks of them as family. As for Gamora she you know softens up throughout the movie and in regards to the relationship with Quill she goes from absolutely dismissing it to saying that they probably had fun and realizing why she could have been in love with him. Groot doesn't really have an arc except you he's been growing up throughout the movies and he's become more and more dependable.
I think Adam warlock was a good opportunity for a "reverse comic relief" (i dont know if there is a better term) i mean, in a movie where everyone is a comic relief, one serious character wouldnt hurt the movie, and the other character could still do jokes about his seriousness
Funny thing is that's exactly how he was in the Guardians of the Galaxy video game. I highly recommend for you and everyone to play it, hell watch a playthrough if you want. That game demonstrates how much of a miss these movies are overall when portraying these characters.
Honestly I was going into this movie ready to laugh at marvels downfall but this movie was quite a good one, almost felt like back to its roots every character had an awesome development and I fell in love with Rocket after watching his story it actually made me shed a tear!

It makes sense that Peter and faux-Gamora didn’t end up together, I guess. But Hollywood has forced me to view everything they “create” with suspicion, and their recent obsession with turning all men into simps, and making sure no heterosexual relationships work out, makes me a little weary of agendas even here…

Why cant we just get one damn movie that takes itself seriously with funny moments. Not a movie bombarded with comic reliefs for the sake of comic relief
Well, that happens when Disney starts turning every second character black for no reason, instead of using actually existing black heroes and villains.
No you re wrong about this scene , i just saw the movie today , the characters turn against the antagonist not because he called himself a god, but because the ship was destroyed by attacks from the guardian. Despite this, he continued to focus on capturing Rocket instead of trying to turn the ship.
It's a result of watching movies to find the flaws. Most of the movie reviewers are like that. They sometimes forgot the context and just try so hard to find the flaws in it. His crew knew long before all this that the man thinks he's a god, even Gamora said it 'some part of the galaxy called him a god'.
@@nemnymeria7873 Hence why I form my own opinions outside of critics like the creator of this video because of how obsessed people like him are with hate watching.
Dang I just said the same thing before I knew that you had already answered him but yeah, anybody paying attention when I saw this huh. Anyway, I loved this movie I couldn’t care less what other people think about it… Seems like you guys liked it too
@@AppleSaurus01 To be fair, some of his critics' videos were honest. However, for 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' he is wrong on so many levels. For instance, he claimed that when the characters freed animals, the animals started attacking people on the ship, but in reality, only one animal did so. Additionally, the comedy in the movie is well-done, and Quill only tries to convince Gamora of their romance a few times throughout the film, before eventually giving up. In summary, the critic seemed to be grasping at flaws, to the point where he misrepresented scenes out of context. I personally lost trust in this channel.
It was heavily implied through High evolutionary's expression that his intention with Rocket was never to make a better specie, but to kill him and study so that he wouldn't make anything that is smarter than him again. He only say that in front of his staffs so that he didn't look like a petty jealous "god".
Yeah, though it makes no sense that Rocket, who we have so far in all movies have known as just a gun expert and nothing more, is suddenly a brilliant scientist so much that his creator is jealous of him.
@@SwiftNimblefoot the other movies show him as being very technically skilled, he’s the one to figure out how to escape the prison in guardians 1, he’s the one who has to repair the space ship in guardians 2 as well as setting up a bunch of elaborate traps, also he builds all of his guns himself.
Man you gotta sympathize with Peter though I mean you lose the love of your life and then she comes back from the dead only to have no memory of you. Shits heartbreaking he obviously had to at least try and communicate with her and put his feelings out there after seeing her for the first time in a long one. He stopped too after he realize he was getting nowhere
About the animals cyber parts being pointless, like on the wheelchair with the walrus, here's my theory: - In the movie it's shown that the High Evolutionary experiments and creates over time more "perfect" specimen, to the point he doesn't need cybernetic stuff anymore, he puts the animal in a cage, "magic smoke", and boom! New specimen. So what if Rocket simply was his final attempt with cybernetics, and the other animals his first attempts? Maybe at first he didn't know how to make an animal talk, so he removed half of the bunny skull and replaced it with a talking mask device and a small upgrade on the brain (which explains why Floor talks bad), then his next try was to figure out how to make animals walk fast as a human, so he created a wheelchair for the walrus + cyber modifications on his face to get expressions. Then, with Lylla the challenge was to create prehensible hands, so the first attempt was to cut the arms out completely and put cyber arms on her. And then Rocket, which with clothed on looks like a perfect anthro raccoon, while in reality he is simply a feral raccoon cut in pieces together with metal to being reshaped as a human. My theory is supported by the fact that while killing them all as a final purpose, the High Evolutionary still wanted to take Rocket brain as a thing of value to test more, while had no interest in parts of the others, since they were previous and rough attempts. At least, these are my two cents ^^
I really hope this film is still charming like the other guardians movies, but they do seem very different. So I’m very sceptical about how they handle the guardians conclusion
The video contains several mistakes and exaggerations, as I explained in the comment section. I just watched the movie today, so please don't rely on this analysis. However, I believe that this is the best Marvel movie after Spider-Man: No Way Home.
@@Emy-vv6zd Yes, it was never bad. Everyone was laughing at all the jokes in the movie. I don't know why he said that the jokes are bad. And yes, it is the best movie after Endgame.
You've easily become one of my favorite entertaining reviewers. Keep suffering through all these crap for our enjoyment, soldier. We appreciate and salute you
I surprisingly had a full theatre and they played the marvels trailer before the film and YALL. when I tell you guys the ENTIRE theater was dead silent for the trailer it was hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣
I just disagree honestly. It's definitely not rewatchable, but that was part of what made it good. It was a one-time experience. It lived and it died. That's just my take.
I really liked the movie I mean I really really liked it. Man he had so many emotional parts in it for me anyway, I’ve been a fan of guardians of the Galaxy since I was in elementary school collecting comic books, which I still have anyway, this movie was great.
I did not care for the music in Vol 3. It doesn't tie well into the moments or make me want to get the album. The characters were all in a very dark place they most of the movie. And it felt very grim because of it. Made for good drama, which i enjoyed, but it also makes all the jokes fail. I miss the lightheartedness of Vol 1 & 2. That's what made these movies stand out for me from the Marvel movies. Lovable goofballs who dick around but save the galaxy along the way. This seems more like DC trying to make a Marvel movie, which makes sense considering where James Gunn is going.
A few corrections here: - The High Evolutionary didn't torture animals for the sake of it. He wanted to create the perfect society (as you have said in the video), and once he figured out how to make sentient animals with the flip of a switch, those animals were no longer needed. They are solely "a step in his path". - Those scientists didn't turn on H.E because he called himself a god. They turned on him because H.E wanted Rocket captured at the cost of the ship's destruction and they wanted to get back to their original mission ("You have an unreasonable obsession with that animal!"). - That monkey was the only one that attacked someone, other animals didn't. It was either saving those abused animals, or let them die. And I think everyone would've been pissed if Rocket and the Guardians chose the latter. - The High Evolutionary isn't overly emotional. He couldn't keep his calm demeanor forever, especially during the third act when the ship was on fire and Rocket was nearby. I usually love your content, but you kinda fumbled the ball here.
I absolutely agree with you some of the time you can just tell these "hardcore" movie critics are just generating outrage to farm cash from morons These type critics like Reaper and The Critical Drinker just ask for perfection in every movie and if it's not perfect they'll provide baseless criticisms that no one else has a problem with sometimes they will be so focused on critiquing something that they just miss the point entirely
I'm gonna go watch it, the serious parts seem like the strength of this movie. This is the Guardians' last time being together, it establishes Rocket's backstory and lets the humor take the backseat in comparison to the rest of the MCU. I might actually go see this one.
I feel they could of did more with Adam Warlock and built him up more like how they did with Thanos. I feel it would of have been better if they showed more of Adam’s relationship with his mother and maybe revealed earlier in a post-credits scene that his mother was working for The High Evolutionary the whole time. It felt like that idea was just dropped in instead of being gradually being built upon. Then they could of ended with Adam realizing that the Guardians aren’t that bad, discovers he was just made to be a tool of destruction by The High Evolutionary, gets his revenge on him and is the one who finishes him off.
In all honesty, I LOVE how they set up High evolutionary as the worst scumbag in the Galaxy, and you know what, they succeded in it, and now hes the most hated well made MCU villain
It's funny how a guy using an avatar of my favorite videogame protagonist is also rapidly turning into my favorite TH-camr. Still gutted that your previous videos got axed. But never stop reaping, Reaper!
I can’t believe I haven’t found your content earlier because it’s hilarious 😂! You are saying all the things that I’m thinking! You got a new subscriber here 😂😂❤❤
Great review. I agree totally about the problem with the High Evolutionary, as there's no real explanation of what he wants or why. I found this to be a big weakness in the film, despite the actor being really menacing.
I honestly didn’t notice Warlock’s mom died until you mentioned it. Warlock was really forgettable despite the buildup from the last movie. Hopefully the next Guardians will fix the character.
The last decent movie from the MCU was infinity War, endgame broke pretty much everything, when Tony was able to figure out time travel in 5mins. When marvel moved to D+ that was the true EndGame of the franchise.
Thanks for your honest review! I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It felt like a breath of fresh air after everything marvel has shit out after Avengers Endgame. Keep up the great reviews! Are you able to re-upload Rings of Power?
I think the movie is entertaining with some emotional scenes I didn’t even think it’s that long and didn’t really felt like it’s almost 3 hours long. But definitely there is a lot of things needs improvement 6/10 for me
I think the reason his staff turns on him is not because he proclaims himself as God, but because a giant Celestial head is attacking them and this idiot wants to stand and fight, while the hired goons would rather not die pointlessly. Btw, love it how the High Evolutionary is basically invulnerable and untouchable with his powers throughout the movie, until the end when he just randomly can be hurt like anyone.
Thanks for drawing attention to the part that struck me as the most bizarrely out of place: Mere minutes after we saw the horrifying mangled mess of a face caused by a raccoon attack, we see an innocent brave woman risking her life for wild animals… and her face gets savaged. I genuinely have no idea why that is there. It ruined the tone, is never reflected on, and just felt like random gross idiocy that I had no desire to forgive. Who thought that moment had a purpose? It happens in a scene that seems totally in favor of helping random wild animals, yet it invokes images of that woman’s face maybe looking like that of the High Evolutionary. What… the… *frick* was anyone thinking here? This movie was incredibly hit and miss, with some very impactful elements and some genuinely baffling decisions.
If they had made a film featuring Tony Stark and Nebula in space. Introduce Adam Warlock and Moondragon. Both who are pivotal in the mythology of the Infinity Stones in the comics. But they also should have done a black widow and ronin movie also between infinity War and Endgame.
Also, this guy can genetically engineer animals to become humans, and do plastic surgery on them or enhance them as cyborgs, but he could not fix his own face? He just wears a skin mask like Leatherface? WTF
8:16 he want Rockets brain because is extremely intelligent, not just average (or a bit below average) intelligence like the other animals . In fact it is even implies he’s smarter than him .
The rocket and friends clips were manipulative. he used every trope to trick the audience into feeling fake pathos. cute animals? check. naïve hopefulness by a childlike being? check. a scene where everything is looking good only for a gunshot to ring out, the music to stop and someone is revealed to have been shot? check. this movie was average to bad.
The high evolutionary was actually saved by Drax which was confirmed by a vfx artist and in a recently released deleted scene that shows him in a prison on Knowhere.
Nah the movie is great. It exceeded my expectations. And I had a great time. I couldn't give a crap about any of the other mcu movies. I only really like the avengers and the guardians anyway. The flaws you listed don't impact the movie in the slightest for me. The movie is easily one of my top favorites. But that's probably mainly cause i love the gotg movies.
Them changing things to make High Evolutionary just having visited earth instead of being from there makes me think he just pissed off in a ship with a load of animals and people who saw went "theres Noah and his magic ark of animals"
To this day i still dont understand why all the people compñaining about phase 4-5 of the mcu dont complain about Endgame. It was awful yet you dont hear about it, it should have been obliterated on release day for how bad and dissapointing it was.
@@CabezasDePescado yes Endgame was already terrible. In fact it had been terrible for a while. even so it was a good send off for many characters like Cap. America and Iron Man. I honestly dont know how can they keep making movies without Cap and IM. doesnt make sense even without the wokism and agenda.
They should've put Adam Warlock in the thanos arc :3 They obviously replaced his part with Captain Marvel. Probably to virtue signal... sigh ;/ imo tey shouldve had Starlord and Nebula hook up or something. :3 it seemed like they wanted to be they didnt really do anything with it :3
Rocket wasn’t the only one capable of innovating, but he was able to understand and improve things that the High Evolutionary didn’t notice. The other animals were also capable of incredibly intelligent learning, but they couldn’t create things more complex than the high evolutionary. Basically whatever innovation they were capable of was meaningless to the high evolutionary because he could have conceived it, but rocket was smarter than him. Classic case of destroying positive improvement instead of nurturing it, it’s also interesting to compare this to the current AI discourse
As a GOTG fan, this installment was disappointing in several ways. *SPOILERS* included. It's the least funny and least likable of the three (IMO). Granted, there are the usual hijinks and gags, but not as many and not as original. It's like the writers ran out of new ideas, or perhaps oversight by Disney forced the writers to be more tame. This film is more like a typical Disney movie than the clever and absurd-on-purpose type of film the 1st two were. The way things left off at the end of Avengers: Endgame, it seemed they were setting this film up to be a 'search for Gamora'. Nope. She pops into the film without much fanfare in the 3rd or 4th scene, and for the rest of the film is not any bit different than she was at the end of "Endgame". Rather, the writers decide on a heartfelt origin story of Rocket and a lingering risk to his life. They totally broke down the coolest character of the franchise and turned him into a Disney sob-story. What really gets me is that this is the last GOTG film, and they ended the franchise with this lukewarm excuse of a movie.
According to James Gunn, who wrote the script, Rocket's origin story was always planned for Vol 3 so you can't blame Disney for that. You can blame the Russo brothers (writers of Infinity War and End Game) for Gamora. They decided to kill her then bring back this alternate timeline version. I was also disappointed with her. Not because she didn't end up with Peter but because she didn't have any of the virtues that made OG Gamora likable. She was a selfish Ravager who wasn't the least bit interested in saving Rocket or anyone but herself. Yes she joins the fight in the end, but it seems more out of curiosity for what this other Gamora was like. Felt vacant. Like she did not have anything like the same heart as the first 2 movies. And that's true for the movie as well. Leaves me dissatisfied. Like Gunn was torching his characters on the way out the door.
@@JenniferKokoski I just don’t get the thinking behind this Rocket origin story. It takes away so much (IMO) from the overall story arc of GOTG. And leaving Gamora as little more than a throw-away character was really a sh*tty plot line, IMO. The way they had little girl Gamora confront Thanos at the end of Infinity War, it just seemed like they were going to have her return to be a more prominent and significant character. To see how she turned out in this last GOTG film is probably the most disappointing aspect of it all.
This feels like one gigantic analogy for the current AI strike in Hollywood. The bad guy wants the experiment that showed innovative promise while dumping everything else.
While I liked this movie, it still isn't better than the first and it likely has to do with Gunn having full creative control. It felt like a music video and the comedy is sprinkled all over, even during serious moments (ex. The Nebula and Mantis argument in the ship)
Well you just talking about mantis and drax's ending pulled at me inner core makes me want to watch it at home and definitely not in a theater full of people
To end with a meh is almost more damaging than if it had been ghastly - the signs of quality and filmmaking are there, but are just squandered. So, bring your A game, get Guardians. Send in the B team, and get ... the rest, and the Marvels. A let down.
High Evolutionary's staff didn't turn on him because he called himself God (which he didn't do directly). They turned on him, because he was obsessing over Rocket Raccoon instead of abandoning his exploding ship.
Yeah, they were not gonna die for him pointlessly.
30 seconds in, and I still have no idea if Reaper liked or disliked this movie. Awesome.

For instance, he claimed that when the characters freed animals, the animals started attacking people on the ship, but in reality, only one animal did so. Additionally, the comedy in the movie is well-done, and Quill only tries to convince Gamora of their romance a few times throughout the film, before eventually giving up. In summary, the critic seemed to be grasping at flaws, to the point where he misrepresented scenes out of context.
I personally lost trust in this channel.
@@nemnymeria7873 yeah this dude's cynicism is blinding him from making a objective video
It was heavily implied through High evolutionary's expression that his intention with Rocket was never to make a better specie, but to kill him and study so that he wouldn't make anything that is smarter than him again. He only say that in front of his staffs so that he didn't look like a petty jealous "god".
Yeah, though it makes no sense that Rocket, who we have so far in all movies have known as just a gun expert and nothing more, is suddenly a brilliant scientist so much that his creator is jealous of him.
@@SwiftNimblefoot the other movies show him as being very technically skilled, he’s the one to figure out how to escape the prison in guardians 1, he’s the one who has to repair the space ship in guardians 2 as well as setting up a bunch of elaborate traps, also he builds all of his guns himself.
Marvel has been in such a weird limbo situation where the themes don't match up with marketing or the plots in each title.
The way the villain's head is designed reminds me of Robocop (1987) when Murphy removes his helmet. Thanks for the review! The channel is great.
Peter Quill references Robocop. Which is inconsistent because I think Peter Quill was abducted from Earth before that movie came out.
That's what I thought too even the purple colour reminds me of Robocop's colour design in the third movie
@@googleislameit came out a year before he left
Man you gotta sympathize with Peter though I mean you lose the love of your life and then she comes back from the dead only to have no memory of you. Shits heartbreaking he obviously had to at least try and communicate with her and put his feelings out there after seeing her for the first time in a long one. He stopped too after he realize he was getting nowhere
About the animals cyber parts being pointless, like on the wheelchair with the walrus, here's my theory:
- In the movie it's shown that the High Evolutionary experiments and creates over time more "perfect" specimen, to the point he doesn't need cybernetic stuff anymore, he puts the animal in a cage, "magic smoke", and boom! New specimen.
So what if Rocket simply was his final attempt with cybernetics, and the other animals his first attempts?
Maybe at first he didn't know how to make an animal talk, so he removed half of the bunny skull and replaced it with a talking mask device and a small upgrade on the brain (which explains why Floor talks bad), then his next try was to figure out how to make animals walk fast as a human, so he created a wheelchair for the walrus + cyber modifications on his face to get expressions. Then, with Lylla the challenge was to create prehensible hands, so the first attempt was to cut the arms out completely and put cyber arms on her. And then Rocket, which with clothed on looks like a perfect anthro raccoon, while in reality he is simply a feral raccoon cut in pieces together with metal to being reshaped as a human.
My theory is supported by the fact that while killing them all as a final purpose, the High Evolutionary still wanted to take Rocket brain as a thing of value to test more, while had no interest in parts of the others, since they were previous and rough attempts.
At least, these are my two cents ^^
Odd times where you can watch a very _mid_ movie, and still feel like it's a breath of fresh air.
I really hope this film is still charming like the other guardians movies, but they do seem very different. So I’m very sceptical about how they handle the guardians conclusion
The have handle it very well
The video contains several mistakes and exaggerations, as I explained in the comment section. I just watched the movie today, so please don't rely on this analysis. However, I believe that this is the best Marvel movie after Spider-Man: No Way Home.
@@Emy-vv6zd Yes, it was never bad. Everyone was laughing at all the jokes in the movie. I don't know why he said that the jokes are bad. And yes, it is the best movie after Endgame.
That is not saying much given Endgame and No Way Home were garbage..
Don’t worry it is handled very well Imo I have really not liked previous mcu films but the guardians movies never disappoint
You've easily become one of my favorite entertaining reviewers. Keep suffering through all these crap for our enjoyment, soldier. We appreciate and salute you
Vol. 3 is no crap.
@@DerezzedMan to each there own - somebody
@@DerezzedMan But not great either
“I do not know who these people are and I don’t give a sh1t..” 😂
You're quickly becoming one of my favourite channels, keep it up mate, love your way to present!
Rocket’s backstory and character arc was probably the best part of the film. Seeing him enact justice instead of vengeance on High Evolutionary 😢
I surprisingly had a full theatre and they played the marvels trailer before the film and YALL. when I tell you guys the ENTIRE theater was dead silent for the trailer it was hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣
That happens for the majority of films. Perhaps I’m just around very cool crowds, but there’s always little to no reaction to trailers.
It's also quite convenient that Rocket has never received an injury which requires operation, despite being a band of space mercenaries
this movie is better than the second IMO, its bit darker buts real good.
I just disagree honestly. It's definitely not rewatchable, but that was part of what made it good. It was a one-time experience. It lived and it died. That's just my take.
Adam Warlock is about five movies too late.
“ the comedy was just shit”. I appreciate the absolute honesty 👊
Great breakdown and review as usual, I love your videos keep up the good work!
THE KING HAS RETURNED
3:05 According to a long-standing Hollywood tradition, stalking is romantic, when done by an attractive person, but creepy otherwise.
Chris Pratt returning to his form in Passengers
A mixed bag is the best rating I would give it. On my best day.
I really liked the movie I mean I really really liked it. Man he had so many emotional parts in it for me anyway, I’ve been a fan of guardians of the Galaxy since I was in elementary school collecting comic books, which I still have anyway, this movie was great.
Guardians 2 was nearly perfection from a watching experience imo. Music played a lot into that
Edit: Man, you guys are disliking it with a passion😂
I think that if you remove the cringe comedy from that one there is a good movie there somewhere
Idk I thought 1 was waaaaaay better movie than 2
PERFECTION???? LMFAOOO!!!
Unfunniest movie of all times
2 was bad though
Id let you guard my galaxy 😘
Miss thing is there not any water in a 50 mile radius of you because your thirsty
Lmfao
I did not care for the music in Vol 3. It doesn't tie well into the moments or make me want to get the album. The characters were all in a very dark place they most of the movie. And it felt very grim because of it. Made for good drama, which i enjoyed, but it also makes all the jokes fail. I miss the lightheartedness of Vol 1 & 2. That's what made these movies stand out for me from the Marvel movies. Lovable goofballs who dick around but save the galaxy along the way. This seems more like DC trying to make a Marvel movie, which makes sense considering where James Gunn is going.
This may be the end of the super hero era, and im happy
Mantis should have stayed with drax taking care of the children
This movie was fire you are too negative and just look for the bad in everything
He grifts. About marvel
Who wants to bet that the girl being attacked by the monkey she is trying to save is a metaphor for how Gunn feels working with both the MCU and DCEU?
well the FINAL nail in the coffin will be how they are gonna destroy daredevil
Love the review my man. Keep on sharing the truth, and doing it as ruthlessly and hilariously as possible. Deus Vult
A few corrections here:
- The High Evolutionary didn't torture animals for the sake of it. He wanted to create the perfect society (as you have said in the video), and once he figured out how to make sentient animals with the flip of a switch, those animals were no longer needed. They are solely "a step in his path".
- Those scientists didn't turn on H.E because he called himself a god. They turned on him because H.E wanted Rocket captured at the cost of the ship's destruction and they wanted to get back to their original mission ("You have an unreasonable obsession with that animal!").
- That monkey was the only one that attacked someone, other animals didn't. It was either saving those abused animals, or let them die. And I think everyone would've been pissed if Rocket and the Guardians chose the latter.
- The High Evolutionary isn't overly emotional. He couldn't keep his calm demeanor forever, especially during the third act when the ship was on fire and Rocket was nearby.
I usually love your content, but you kinda fumbled the ball here.
I absolutely agree with you some of the time you can just tell these "hardcore" movie critics are just generating outrage to farm cash from morons
These type critics like Reaper and The Critical Drinker just ask for perfection in every movie and if it's not perfect they'll provide baseless criticisms that no one else has a problem with sometimes they will be so focused on critiquing something that they just miss the point entirely
Bro its a grift. He has to trash it because its mcu.
Finally, a Marvel movie that is at least ok.
Ppfffgfff, "Ok", This movie is amazing!

Easily my favourite TH-cam channel
I'm gonna go watch it, the serious parts seem like the strength of this movie. This is the Guardians' last time being together, it establishes Rocket's backstory and lets the humor take the backseat in comparison to the rest of the MCU. I might actually go see this one.
I feel they could of did more with Adam Warlock and built him up more like how they did with Thanos. I feel it would of have been better if they showed more of Adam’s relationship with his mother and maybe revealed earlier in a post-credits scene that his mother was working for The High Evolutionary the whole time. It felt like that idea was just dropped in instead of being gradually being built upon. Then they could of ended with Adam realizing that the Guardians aren’t that bad, discovers he was just made to be a tool of destruction by The High Evolutionary, gets his revenge on him and is the one who finishes him off.
In all honesty, I LOVE how they set up High evolutionary as the worst scumbag in the Galaxy, and you know what, they succeded in it, and now hes the most hated well made MCU villain
It's funny how a guy using an avatar of my favorite videogame protagonist is also rapidly turning into my favorite TH-camr. Still gutted that your previous videos got axed. But never stop reaping, Reaper!
I can’t believe I haven’t found your content earlier because it’s hilarious 😂! You are saying all the things that I’m thinking! You got a new subscriber here 😂😂❤❤
12:52 "I do not know who the f_ck these people are, and I couldn't give a sh_t." Perfect.
Great review. I agree totally about the problem with the High Evolutionary, as there's no real explanation of what he wants or why. I found this to be a big weakness in the film, despite the actor being really menacing.
I liked hearing you give praise as easily as you give critique
Tough, yet fair
My family has watched 1 and 2 more times than we can count. This one ... never again. Once was more than enough.
When starlord said open the fucking door I laughed and at the same time was like wtf was that?
every single one of this guys reviews are god damn hilarious 🤣
Enjoying the vids, your comdey is different lmao
I honestly didn’t notice Warlock’s mom died until you mentioned it. Warlock was really forgettable despite the buildup from the last movie. Hopefully the next Guardians will fix the character.
The last decent movie from the MCU was infinity War, endgame broke pretty much everything, when Tony was able to figure out time travel in 5mins. When marvel moved to D+ that was the true EndGame of the franchise.
11:02 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love the deadpan way you say it
Holy moley, Alteori commenting on a Reaper video? Better crossover than Endgame 😀
Not going to lie, with how dark this movie is, I’m surprised it’s still being marketed towards kids.
just hearing your voice makes me laugh. keep it up brother.
Thanks for your honest review! I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It felt like a breath of fresh air after everything marvel has shit out after Avengers Endgame. Keep up the great reviews! Are you able to re-upload Rings of Power?
I think the movie is entertaining with some emotional scenes I didn’t even think it’s that long and didn’t really felt like it’s almost 3 hours long. But definitely there is a lot of things needs improvement 6/10 for me
When i saw they decided to make nebula a man i decided to just watch it online for free
wat?
Oh f is a shitty promotional poster,
They didn’t do that though
So basically it’s a 28 Days Later In Space prequel…
I think the reason his staff turns on him is not because he proclaims himself as God, but because a giant Celestial head is attacking them and this idiot wants to stand and fight, while the hired goons would rather not die pointlessly. Btw, love it how the High Evolutionary is basically invulnerable and untouchable with his powers throughout the movie, until the end when he just randomly can be hurt like anyone.
The jokes did not land for me. I am trying to think of any gags that I actually laughed at and I do not think there were any.
Thanks for drawing attention to the part that struck me as the most bizarrely out of place: Mere minutes after we saw the horrifying mangled mess of a face caused by a raccoon attack, we see an innocent brave woman risking her life for wild animals… and her face gets savaged. I genuinely have no idea why that is there. It ruined the tone, is never reflected on, and just felt like random gross idiocy that I had no desire to forgive. Who thought that moment had a purpose? It happens in a scene that seems totally in favor of helping random wild animals, yet it invokes images of that woman’s face maybe looking like that of the High Evolutionary. What… the… *frick* was anyone thinking here?
This movie was incredibly hit and miss, with some very impactful elements and some genuinely baffling decisions.
If they had made a film featuring Tony Stark and Nebula in space. Introduce Adam Warlock and Moondragon. Both who are pivotal in the mythology of the Infinity Stones in the comics. But they also should have done a black widow and ronin movie also between infinity War and Endgame.
Also, this guy can genetically engineer animals to become humans, and do plastic surgery on them or enhance them as cyborgs, but he could not fix his own face? He just wears a skin mask like Leatherface? WTF
So what if he didn’t fix it? It’s not important to the plot
8:16 he want Rockets brain because is extremely intelligent, not just average (or a bit below average) intelligence like the other animals . In fact it is even implies he’s smarter than him .
The rocket and friends clips were manipulative. he used every trope to trick the audience into feeling fake pathos.
cute animals? check.
naïve hopefulness by a childlike being? check.
a scene where everything is looking good only for a gunshot to ring out, the music to stop and someone is revealed to have been shot? check.
this movie was average to bad.
The high evolutionary was actually saved by Drax which was confirmed by a vfx artist and in a recently released deleted scene that shows him in a prison on Knowhere.
I was really disappointed Rocket didn't shove the evil guy into the animal-to-humanish machine to kill him in the climax.
Nah the movie is great. It exceeded my expectations. And I had a great time.
I couldn't give a crap about any of the other mcu movies. I only really like the avengers and the guardians anyway.
The flaws you listed don't impact the movie in the slightest for me.
The movie is easily one of my top favorites. But that's probably mainly cause i love the gotg movies.
Them changing things to make High Evolutionary just having visited earth instead of being from there makes me think he just pissed off in a ship with a load of animals and people who saw went "theres Noah and his magic ark of animals"
What happened to your Black Panther 2 review?
Honestly, the MCU ended with Endgame for the most of us
To this day i still dont understand why all the people compñaining about phase 4-5 of the mcu dont complain about Endgame. It was awful yet you dont hear about it, it should have been obliterated on release day for how bad and dissapointing it was.
Endgame still sucks because of the Time Traveling nonsense so the Happy Ending can be a possibility. 😭
@@CabezasDePescado yes Endgame was already terrible. In fact it had been terrible for a while. even so it was a good send off for many characters like Cap. America and Iron Man. I honestly dont know how can they keep making movies without Cap and IM. doesnt make sense even without the wokism and agenda.
They should've put Adam Warlock in the thanos arc :3
They obviously replaced his part with Captain Marvel. Probably to virtue signal... sigh ;/
imo tey shouldve had Starlord and Nebula hook up or something. :3 it seemed like they wanted to be they didnt really do anything with it :3
Oh no they did that with vision. Idiot
So playing God is fine… calling yourself God is too much 🗿🗿
That’s not why they turned on him. Maybe you should watch the movie
Are you Critical Drinker's cousin?
I cried like 5 or 6 times... -_- embarrassing at the theater.
Reaper has uploaded. Sermon is in session.
I kinda wanted to give it a try, but I can’t do the animal torture (or kids).
Rocket wasn’t the only one capable of innovating, but he was able to understand and improve things that the High Evolutionary didn’t notice. The other animals were also capable of incredibly intelligent learning, but they couldn’t create things more complex than the high evolutionary. Basically whatever innovation they were capable of was meaningless to the high evolutionary because he could have conceived it, but rocket was smarter than him. Classic case of destroying positive improvement instead of nurturing it, it’s also interesting to compare this to the current AI discourse
As a GOTG fan, this installment was disappointing in several ways.
*SPOILERS* included.
It's the least funny and least likable of the three (IMO). Granted, there are the usual hijinks and gags, but not as many and not as original. It's like the writers ran out of new ideas, or perhaps oversight by Disney forced the writers to be more tame.
This film is more like a typical Disney movie than the clever and absurd-on-purpose type of film the 1st two were.
The way things left off at the end of Avengers: Endgame, it seemed they were setting this film up to be a 'search for Gamora'. Nope. She pops into the film without much fanfare in the 3rd or 4th scene, and for the rest of the film is not any bit different than she was at the end of "Endgame". Rather, the writers decide on a heartfelt origin story of Rocket and a lingering risk to his life. They totally broke down the coolest character of the franchise and turned him into a Disney sob-story.
What really gets me is that this is the last GOTG film, and they ended the franchise with this lukewarm excuse of a movie.
According to James Gunn, who wrote the script, Rocket's origin story was always planned for Vol 3 so you can't blame Disney for that. You can blame the Russo brothers (writers of Infinity War and End Game) for Gamora. They decided to kill her then bring back this alternate timeline version. I was also disappointed with her. Not because she didn't end up with Peter but because she didn't have any of the virtues that made OG Gamora likable. She was a selfish Ravager who wasn't the least bit interested in saving Rocket or anyone but herself. Yes she joins the fight in the end, but it seems more out of curiosity for what this other Gamora was like. Felt vacant. Like she did not have anything like the same heart as the first 2 movies. And that's true for the movie as well. Leaves me dissatisfied. Like Gunn was torching his characters on the way out the door.
@@JenniferKokoski I just don’t get the thinking behind this Rocket origin story. It takes away so much (IMO) from the overall story arc of GOTG.
And leaving Gamora as little more than a throw-away character was really a sh*tty plot line, IMO. The way they had little girl Gamora confront Thanos at the end of Infinity War, it just seemed like they were going to have her return to be a more prominent and significant character.
To see how she turned out in this last GOTG film is probably the most disappointing aspect of it all.
This feels like one gigantic analogy for the current AI strike in Hollywood. The bad guy wants the experiment that showed innovative promise while dumping everything else.
What do they say,,,, All good things,,,,,,,,,,?
MSheU!
Y’all keep taking the bait!
While I liked this movie, it still isn't better than the first and it likely has to do with Gunn having full creative control.
It felt like a music video and the comedy is sprinkled all over, even during serious moments (ex. The Nebula and Mantis argument in the ship)
Well you just talking about mantis and drax's ending pulled at me inner core makes me want to watch it at home and definitely not in a theater full of people
I actually enjoyed it a lot, i will admit some stuff couldve been altered but i did enjoy it
This movie is sad as fuck
OMG! MCU jumped the shark!
Adam warlock’s only purpose in the movie was to save warlord 😂
Haven’t seen it yet but I like that it is serious
To end with a meh is almost more damaging than if it had been ghastly - the signs of quality and filmmaking are there, but are just squandered. So, bring your A game, get Guardians. Send in the B team, and get ... the rest, and the Marvels. A let down.
