Just wondering if you skipped Captain America: The Winter Solider for a reason or if it was an accident? Was really looking forward to that reaction since it was next and is considered one of the best movies in the MCU in general, and is definitely one of my favorites lol. Love your MCU reactions!
Ahh you're right! My bad, I thought Winter Soldier was after this one 😬😬 I'll circle back to it for the next MCU reaction. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
Pinning your comment in case anyone else is wondering!
@@shadowcatreactsThanks for the response, can’t wait 👏🏾!
Short of Infinity wars and Endgame, Winter Soldier is my favorite one.
@@shadowcatreacts Good news is that it won't really matter as much as it usually would that they are watched out of order
@@shadowcatreactsyeah i was wondering too. but there's no worries. these two movies dont really matter which you watch first cause they are pretty separate
Best trilogy of the entire MCU. By the time you get completely caught up you’ll absolutely love Vol. 3.
Are we acting like the Captain America series doesn’t exist? Go do a rewatch and apologize!
@@kennethsmith6367 it’s my opinion back off
@@kennethsmith6367 gotg is easily the best series
@@PerseusJackson-ox8smnah second guardians of the galaxy holds it back
@@Don-fw3nv the 2nd one is my least favorite of the three but idk if it’s enough to put gotg at 2nd in MCU series since it was still pretty good
The trilogy as a whole is so coherent even when tied into the events during the rest of the MCU films. Absolutely amazing. James gunn is an amazing writer
This is my favorite mcu trilogy so I'm glad you liked this one
Bro Rocket’s story is really sad even when this movie was made when he said “I didn’t ask to be made”😢
Fun Fact: Vin Diesel also voiced Groot internationally, which is pretty impressive even if he mostly had to say different variants of "I am Groot".
Also, I don't know if they still make these, but I remember when this movie first came out, they were selling the little Groot in the flower pot. It was cute; it could dance to music, I think.
That is cool!! I wonder if he just wanted to do it or whether he was asked. I'm gonna look up a compilation of him saying it in different languages rn 🤓
I never thought of Diesel saying, "Je suis Groot" before, but now I need to see it. If he really did say it in all the languages, the man earned his paycheck.
He did it on a few talk shows.
@@BenChanNYC In Dutch it's "Ik ben Groot" which translates to "I am tall".
I remember watching this and having no clue what its place in the overarching story was within the MCU.
Watching it back, it all makes sense.
Definitely a fun watch.
It might actually be the most important movie pre-Infinity War. It's the movie that truly establishes both the Infinity Stone conflict and Thanos. The Kree are also really prominent in this one, and _they_ become important in more MCU stuff in the future.
She called him a fox. She's officially an a MCU character.
GotG was such a fun surprise when it came out. No one really knew what to expect. Still one of my favorites.
Marvel has been so good at making you care for the oddest things. The robot in Iron man. A tree in guardians. Etc.
Shadowcat, the doggie at the end was either Laika or Cosmo, the first dog into outer space put there by the Russians, and the Duck at the end was Howard the Duck, George Lucas made a Howard the Duck movie in 1986
I know I'm late to the party, but I've scrolled for a hot minute and thus far I've not seen anyone else mention it:
The planted Groot you see at the end is not the same Groot coming back to life; it's the offspring of the Groot we got to know over the course of the film, who did in fact pay the ultimate sacrifice to save the rest of the Guardians.
Groot symbolizes as the birth of a new family. His current state is just the bond between him and rocket. Once he knows the ensemble has grown, he gladly dies to give room for a larger form factor He seeds, dies and respawns with a new baby groot who grows into the new guardians family. Gunn knows how to create layers in his emsembles
_Guardians_ was one of those actial comic books that I didn't know what to expect when I bought the books back in the day. I only started reading the title because it tied into a storyline within Marvel's cosmic part within the larger main "616" universe. I was pleasantly surprised when I read the titles though.
So fast forward about +a decade later when it was announced that _Guardians_ were gonna be a part of the MCU... I was losing my mind.
These movies came out in phases and as each phase did well, they got better budgets and the overall story that carries from movie to movie got more and more epic. I think you're going to like what's coming down the line. :D
Yes release order please, go ahead and print out a list lol I’d hate for you to be confused and miss the magic.
One of the things I loved when I saw this in theaters was when Nebula and Gamora were fighting. Because all I could think was "Amy Pond, of the TARDIS vs Lt Uhura, of the Enterprise. AWESOME!"
Stan doesn't have a regular pop-up time, he's funny like that
I forgot Rocket cries in this... and it all just hit me again... i had to cry with him... for friends. Although im more like Quill, as some bad $#!T happened back home and i cant really go back.
Shadowcat, the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special takes place after Avengers 4 and Thor 4, and before Guardians vol. 3
The emphasis close up of the Sony Walkman wasn't so much sponsorship by Sony but rather that in the 80s, the Sony Walkman was the epitome of portable tape players. They might have even invented the market.
Even most Marvel comics fans didn't know who the Guardians of the Galaxy were prior to this movie being released. When I heard they were making this movie, I thought it was a huge mistake. Why would they make a GotG movie? No one ever heard of them! They aren't second-string Marvel characters, they're more like eighth-string! There are far more important characters that need to be introduced to the MCU!
But they didn't consult me and made this movie anyway, and it turned out to be one of the best MCU movies!
I used to have a white siamese cat named Shadowcat. That's all I've got for now.
Shadowcat, in the 90s i read a star wars comic book, Tales of the Jedi, and it had a mom learn the force from a rhinocerous like creature who could talk, and her name was Nomi Sunrider and they went to the Jedi Homeworld, Ossus , and one of the students there was a walking talking Tree character and at some point there was an earthquake or something and that Tree character took the sacred jedi texts scrolls and he put them under himself, and formed roots so he couldn't move again, i think he is the Tree in Star Wars Episode 8?
Hey, Shadowcat! 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!
Since most of the movies of the MCU at that time are actually bad[1] ... WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE GOTG ... it is a good idea to go straight for the second one.
[1] EXPLANATION "spoiler":
Stories that involve TIME TRAVEL and MULTIVERSES and ... "ULTIMATE DANGER" (galaxy size) work in a stand-alone setting, but NOT if you want a "continuous living universe" where you can make new movies every year. After "ultimate danger" everything will EITHER become stale OR the dangers will become ridiculously stupid.
In addition to this ... DISNEY - who bought the MCU when they bought Marvel - is a corporation full of POLITICAL ACTIVISTS of the worst kind, which have ruined the stories since they started managing the movies. These activists - people like Kathleen Kennedy - are destroying entertainment/FRANCHISES ... ON PURPOSE ... because that is what their ideology requires.
@@Muck006Sir, this is a Wendy's.
You definitely need more subs and views!!! I love your reactions and sleepover-like video style.
The last (and first) time I saw GotG was when the film was in theaters. Most of what went on I had forgotten about. The soundtrack is fire and the story has a LOT of detail. I tend to not follow the lore of superhero films, but as a stand alone movie GotG is actually really awesome. Thank you for the watch!
Chewie and Groot most def have the same energy.
Dudette, Berett was an alien "one night stand" and she was wearing his t-shirt ;)
"Kirk" is actually James Gunn's brother Sean and I believe he also did the motion capture for Rocket.
Yes, The Collector was in the end credit scene in Thor: Dark World and has another of the Infinity Stones.
And yes, Star Lord is his superhero name. I believe the character was created in the 70's and was more of a Flash Gordon-esqe character. His origin was a bit different though. He was pretty much forgotten for a long time, then he appeared in the animated Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes show and he became more well known and was more popular when this movie came out.
My favorite MCU movie! James Gunn is amazing, can’t wait to see what he does with the DC universe now that hes in charge there
Yes it's Kurt, That is cannon now and nothing anyone says will change my mind!
Such a unique plot to this movie, great reaction Shadowcat!
All your questions are answered in Volume 2.
No one knew who Star Lord was before this movie came out, except a tiny number of hardcore comics fans.
Little groot is not the original groot btw. He’s a new character.
Everyone wants you to get to phase 3 & 4 where it gets super litty 💥 💥💥😂😂😂
Speaking of getting back onto the marvel hype train, Captain America winter soldier was before this one. I saw u realized that but thats where the movies were on a uphill spike. The next like 10 movies are all A1
While in the MCU movies, my favorite character is Tony Stark, the Guardians of the Galaxy are my favorite group.
Fantastic reaction, love all the guardians movie. This guardians family is a beautiful thing ❤
You know, if you wanted to reassure us that you really knew nothing about this movie, that intro... kind of did the trick XD And, no, I'm not saying that to be mean. It was fun listening to your speculations ^_^ But, given the series that we've gotten out of this family of misfits, I'm glad that it went the way it did. Can't wait for you to continue on through this trilogy.
Oh, one thing I'll say, do watch the Holiday Special. It isn't _massively_ significant, but it does set some of the groundwork for the third one.
Kirk (Sean Gunn) brother James , directed this movie.
Diegetic. I learned something new today.
I wish Drax had been somewhat effective against Ronan. It didn't make me put any faith in Drax's usefulness for a first time introduction to a 'Guardian' of the Galaxy, while the others each seem to have unique or powerful abilities. Luckily I learned Drax's real contribution is internal beginning with fearlessness.
The younger gens don´t get the endings Howard the Duck.
I'm glad you liked it! But did you call Rocket a Fox guy?
I haven't seen this since I watched Guardians 3 in theaters. Some of Rocket's dialogue hits a bit different. :(
Like and subed. Excited to se you make it to end gamr
whats gonna be great is by the time you get to the third movie you get to find out that as nasty and unpleasant as rocket is...hes WAY nicer than he has any business being.
This is probably my favorite Marvel movie, besides Blade. Blade takes first place. I really don’t like many Marvel movies, maybe Iron Man and the previous two I mentioned, but the rest are…. Not for me. But this one is really good, and the video game was pretty good too! It was fun to explore the universe and see things I didn’t in the movie and get backstory on certain things.
Zoey saladana is blue in Avatar so you were correct just different movie
Wooohooo back to the MCU , hope we don’t have to w8 1month for the next MCU reaction ❤😂❤😂
Shadowcat, can you watch Fantastic Four (2005) and Nick Fury : Agent of Shield (1998) and Hulk (2003) and maybe Generation X (1995) they are pre mcu marvel but some of my favorite marvel movies and Howard the Duck
Hey, Shadowcat! "Guardians of the Galaxy" was an acquired taste for me. I like my science fiction sober so it always surprises me that 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 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-*ss 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 Krylorian 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. Christopher Fairbank has a small role as a skittish broker. 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.
4. In MCU-time, "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" occurs just months after the first one in 2014 before "Avengers: Age of Ultron" in 2015.
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 the "I Am Groot" shorts "Groot's First Steps", "The Little Guy" and "Groot Takes a Bath" followed by Episodes 1 - 10 of Season 2 of "Agents of SHIELD".
I can certainly see how it'd be jarring on first watch, especially if it's a lot different and less grounded than the source material! I'd be very curious to see a comparison between the two. That's one of the nice things about being unfamiliar with the source material, though: no expectations!
Let’s go ❤
Awesome movie!!
Kirk was awesome😂
I would move to Stars Hollow just for him 😆
Shai, I'm in my 60s, so it's not every day someone teaches me a new word: 'diegetic' 😊 However, it seems the consensus on the pronunciation is different from yours, rhyming it with 'diabetic'.
Happy to introduce you to diegetic, even if I'm pronouncing it wrong! 😆😆 I learned about it in a pop culture class in college and it always stuck with me
Thanks, Shadowcat! 🦝 These moves are great. Be sure to watch the holiday special, too. #Shadowcat #JamesGunn #GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVolume1
Watch the GOTG christmas special. Kevin Bacon is in it.
The subtitles are a bit "disappointing", because they should have had RESPECT FOR THE MUSIC and given the title and artist for each song instead of just saying "[music playing]" or "[dances to music]".
Yeah, Thor 2 and 3 were meh. Captain America is OK. But after that, there are several epic movies!
you're shiny.
If you give up on the MCU after Avengers Endgame you really really need to see GotG Vol 3. In my opinion it is the best of all the MCU movies. It's not perfect but it's close
vol 2 is more good then this plese react part 2
I'm pretty much over the MCU at this point, but I love the Guardians films.
Jesus Christ. Are you doing one Mcu movie per month?
Easy there, she'll get caught up eventually
@@davewhitmore1958 let's be real. One per month is atrocious.
@@danieldaulie8980 Do you have a terminal disease?
My least favorite of the MCU movies. Some of the humor and aspects of the characters kinda ruined it for me. I can see the appeal, though. The potential was there. Some moments are great.
thanos was right
No, he wasn't
I Am Groot!!!!
