At first, Drax laughed maniacally as he fought prison guards in Vol. 1. But in the end, he laughs as he dances with children. He no longer finds joy in being The Destroyer, but has made peace with the loss of his family and once more finds joy in being a Dad.
I also never really realized he saw mantis as a stand in for his daughter. I mean it was right there in the surface but it doesn't really hit you until he watches her leave.
I loved how before learning of Rocket's past, Quill was refusing to kill anyone. But after learning the torture that Rocket endured by the H.E, Quill was more than willing to kill everyone involved.
Something I didn't even consider when watching this the first time is the fact that Nebula and Rocket were the only guardians who survived Thanos' snap. They were all each other had for 5 years.
I dug that Groot was acting really shy when he told Gamora he liked working with her. For all that Quill lost his partner when the oiginal Gamora died, Groot lost the only mom he ever knew based on how she acted around him during Vol. 2. He didn't want to push but he clearly wants to connect with this new Gamora as much as Quill.
Another small but heart warming detail, nebulas wings and blasted from the opening fight scene was very iron man inspired. It's easy to forget that she had a strong connection with Tony
Floor's reaction was extremely hard for me. In 2009, my Wife & I were out walking our two dogs, Betty & Jo. Betty was suddenly attacked by our Neighbor's Pit Bull & while she obviously spoke no words, Jo's mental and emotional overload, the complete shattering of the happy innocence that is the right of all animals, was the same. I ended up attacking the Pit Bull with my bare hands & saved Betty's life, but Jo was never the same. She used to love other dogs, but after that she went berserk if one got anywhere near Betty. She was terrified that her Big Sister would get hurt again. It was heartbreaking to see.
Wild seeing you in the comments lmaooo. You legit nailed the effect of the "possession" that Mantis does. It looked almost robotic! (And a little creepy!) Good stuff, brother.
24:24 it’s even funnier when you know that Chris Pratt ad libbed the f bomb. The first f bomb in the MCU and it’s not during a battle but Star Lord losing his temper with Nebula.
I don't think Groot spoke English at the end. I think we the audience have finally become part of the Guardians family, and we now understand Groot's language.
Rockets background story had me in tears the entire time and when he meets Lylla in the afterlife had me crying in tears and I still tear up every time I see the scene “ There are the hands that made us, and then there are the hands that guide their hands. My beloved raccoon. The story has been yours all along. You just didn't know it “ 😢
you say "Rocket's background story" like you didn't just quote the movie which said, "The story has been yours all along." James Gunn even has said Rocket is the main protagonist/secret protagonist of the trilogy
@@Silver5kull It's the most expensive marvel introduction to a character (Rocket) solo movie or his guardian team. These 3 movies is his first chapter. Along with infinity war and endgame🙂
Can you blame him Disney threw him under the bus immediately due to the controversy over old tweets which he apologized before everyone started to be upset about it
@@ACinemafanatic I don't blame him at all considering the situation, I truly wish him the best and I suppose it's Disney's loss which makes it a good thing as well
The alien that is made to fall in love with Drax is played by Benjamin Byron Davis, who is best known for playing Dutch van der Linde in Red Dead Redemption 2.
So all three volumes covered everyone’s back story. Peters, drax, gamoras and nebula in the first film. Groots new story started in volume 2 as the og groot died in the first. Second film was more of Peter and mantis back story, and groots new origin story begins. Then you have infinity war and endgame to which is the fate of og gamora and the beginning of past gamora. Then the holiday special where Peter finds out his sister is mantis and finally volume 3. Rockets origin story and how strong their family had became. Full circle
I hope that Star-Lord has his mask and jet boots the next time we see him! I get Rocket was dying so he didn't really have the time to go get them but hopefully we'll see them next time!
I do hope that they at least give peter the powers he deserves - like on earth gravity he has them (because of the whole - being part celestial on his dads' side lol).
This is my #2 movie of the year behind Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse. BUT, if you are an animal lover, it is a VERY difficult film to watch. I actually didn't see it in the theater, and I don't even like animals that much. While 98% is just implications, about 45 seconds is graphic. That said, I just loved this movie so much.
Storm, I'm afraid that's it for Guardians central MCU content. Dave Bautista and Zoe Saldaña have already declared they are done with Marvel movies. Maybe we'll get a scene here or there with Rocket, Adam Warlock etc, but probably not for some years.
which is a silly comment if you remember how many Gods and Demi-Gods there are in the Marvel Universe, he even acknowledges that Knowhere is A dead Gods' head
Many people do this when reacting/reviewing a movie that recently came out. It’s because the copyright system is more strict about use of clips of recently released movies, especially larger companies like Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, etc. It’s annoying, but the reason is understandable. Now that the movie has been around a while, more high quality clips will be popping up around TH-cam.
After Lyla telling us that basically all 3 of the 'Guardians' movies were Rocket Racoon's origin story, it would be *Criminal* to not have at least ONE movie with him as leader! As an Animal lover & owner of 4 dogs (3 Rescues), this was a very hard movie to watch at times. Animals are true innocents, blameless moral agents & violating that innocence is one of the darkest things we can do. Especially with little Floor. When she is screaming, "Rocket, Teefs, Floor go now!" That's total Mental & Emotional overload. It's heart-rending for me to watch. Back in 2009, one of the dogs my Wife & I owned, Betty, was attacked by a Neighbor's Pit Bull. To save her life, I had to attack it with my bare hands, but our younger dog, Jo, was standing there having a complete meltdown, just like Floor. I can't think about either event without struggling to hold back tears.
Torturing humans is done real messed up stuff... Torture an animal that can talk... That is a whole new level of sad i didn't know existed.... Damn this movie had me absolutely sobbing everytime one of Rockets flashbacks came up
I think Guardians are the best of the Marvel movies. I am a 62yo 5' 11" 248lb toxic male by todays standards I guess but this movie really got to me. First I understand its a Fantasy Science fiction but did anyone else just want to give Lyla, rocket, flour and wheels a happy, loving home for life ???
didn't like the humor in this one. glad the christmas special made up for it. but in both that special and this drax says dancing is for idiots. he met his wife, who wouldn't even tap her foot to the beat. but, he's a dad, and dads do idiotic things for their kids.
I hate how drax has been treated in the mcu. Only thing he’s done is kill that dude in VOL1 that was also in captain marvel. Apart from that he’s solely there to say stupid shit in the middle of characters talking to “add humor” and also to remind us that there a family 😂 Adam warlock was also a waste for me, hopefully he gets more time moving forward
I mean…that’s what you’re supposed to do in these reactions. Plus they’re a bigger group so what else do you expect? RT TV for example is so much worse, they talk over EVERYTHING and miss so many plot points lmao
Decent movie especially for Post Endgame Marvel. Far too much focus on making Mantis and Nebula ENTIRELY different characters. Disliked Nebula being all sentimental....too much change too fast....but Mantis as a leader was doable and pretty funny a couple times. Still just a bit too drastic a change to seem natural. It is unfortunatly the lamest of the three. The music choice BLEW. Volume 2 holds the honor of best soundtrack....and volume 1 is damn near a tie with it.
1.8K Thumbs Up + Mine! 👍 You're welcome! Thanks! 😊 Notes: Hmm. I was going to watch your reactions to the latest "Transformers " movie, but then the notice for this one came up and I tapped on it. No regrets! Thanks for the crying, as a good cry flushes allergens from my system. I think it was Martin over at "Double Toasted" who was reminded of "Sid" from the "Toy Story" movies by what some of the experiments looked like. In the movie "Star Trek: Insurrection", there's an alien ambassador with a stretched face for some of the time, because he gets frequent cosmetic surgery! In the comics, Lulu and Rocket are a couple. In the animated cartoon series, Rocket visited his mother and siblings at least once on-screen. Do you remember the actor Mickey Rooney? I named my first raccoon "Mickey Raccoon-ey" after him. I've used a lot of names for his family over the years, but I haven't used "Rocket" yet, probably because I'm saving that name for an indoor-living one. 🦝 In "The Suicide Squad" Pom's hair was what I think people call "dirty blonde"? (She's dancing on stage in that club.) But in "Thunderforce" as "LASER" and in " Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One" as "Paris" she is totally blonde! Quite the contrast to "Mantis"! Seeing Nathan Fillion as a different type of law enforcement officer from the one he plays in "The Rookie" was fun! James Gunn's blonde wife was the one whose leg got shot! In the holiday special, Drax, was tickled by bullets! Yet here, his head reacts to being hit with a rock! Why? Sure it is bigger than a bullet, either lead or copper, but it wasn't tossed with as much force. 🤔 The guy that got scalped by Peter? The actor that plays him? I've never seen him play this type of character before. Though his character died, I wonder if it felt like an upgrade from playing his "Superstore" character? 🤔 Did you see the newspaper headline about Kevin Bacon being abducted by aliens? 🤔
At first, Drax laughed maniacally as he fought prison guards in Vol. 1. But in the end, he laughs as he dances with children. He no longer finds joy in being The Destroyer, but has made peace with the loss of his family and once more finds joy in being a Dad.
Well, he also laughed maniacally fighting the guards at the Orgoscope lol
@@py16667i was gonna say this. Drax comes from a warrior culture, so he’s gonna enjoy the thrill of battle no matter the circumstances 😂
I also never really realized he saw mantis as a stand in for his daughter. I mean it was right there in the surface but it doesn't really hit you until he watches her leave.
Much sad right now
1:21:28 James Gunn has confirmed that is indeed the case. Groot was still saying "I am Groot" but we finally understand him.
I loved how before learning of Rocket's past, Quill was refusing to kill anyone. But after learning the torture that Rocket endured by the H.E, Quill was more than willing to kill everyone involved.
An EXTREMELY understandable "We're not killing anyone" to "Kill em ALL" pipeline.
Like how we should kill all Mexican cartels?
tf¿ he even killed his dad lol
Why did he bring guns and grenades then?
Cause it was a stand off@@thejustinsteffan
I almost cried in the theatre seeing Nebula start to dance. One of the best arcs in the MCU.
I almost cried, when Peter reunited with his grandfather.
She danced in the Holiday Special.
I almost cried when she cried over Rocket surviving. Such a great character arc!
drax was the one who didn't like dancing
@@Silver5kull Tell me Nebula would have danced in the first two movies
Nebula and rocket did have a connection. They were the only two guardians during the blip. Everyone else disappeared.
Yes. They were together for longer than any other of the Guardians.
@@Grimlock1979that's the first time I seen nebula actually break down and cry.
@@Grimlock1979no
Something I didn't even consider when watching this the first time is the fact that Nebula and Rocket were the only guardians who survived Thanos' snap. They were all each other had for 5 years.

great observation. never cuaght that.
Yea that scene warmed my heart. I think Gamora realized then how much that crew actually loved her.
Another small but heart warming detail, nebulas wings and blasted from the opening fight scene was very iron man inspired. It's easy to forget that she had a strong connection with Tony
Rocket cry broke me, cried so much in the cinema. Absolutely love this cast and guardians are my favorite in the mcu❤
James Gunn was like: "Yeah, let's just throw a heartbreaking body horror short film inside our family-friendly space adventure." :D
lmao that’s rockets backstory for u
He earned my respect with this movie... than he did the Flash movie... smh
@@Nathan-ti9pm his only involvement with the flash was it released in his time as the head honcho.
@@Nathan-ti9pm He didnt write the Flash.
He didnt even touch the Flash movie.
@@Nathan-ti9pm lmao all he did was change the ending so it wasn’t a black adam situation again. ofc he’s gonna give notes tho as the studio head
If someone had told me I’d be crying over a cyborg rabbit… with spider legs… who’d named itself Floor… I would’ve thought they were crazier than me.
It's the voices that touched everyone to match the animalistic look.
for real, My mom texted me asking me if I liked the movie and all I said was "They got me crying over CGI Animals"
Floor's reaction was extremely hard for me. In 2009, my Wife & I were out walking our two dogs, Betty & Jo. Betty was suddenly attacked by our Neighbor's Pit Bull & while she obviously spoke no words, Jo's mental and emotional overload, the complete shattering of the happy innocence that is the right of all animals, was the same.
I ended up attacking the Pit Bull with my bare hands & saved Betty's life, but Jo was never the same. She used to love other dogs, but after that she went berserk if one got anywhere near Betty. She was terrified that her Big Sister would get hurt again. It was heartbreaking to see.
First, WE ARE GROOT & now I LOVE YOU GUYS. Groot is the heart of the Guardians.
And we’ve known Groot for so long that WE now understand him
the heart is rocket
I loved y’all reaction to my scene‼️ Rumor has it that I’m still dancing somewhere in space 😂‼️
- Bam “The Dancing Guard” 👽🖖🏾
Wild seeing you in the comments lmaooo. You legit nailed the effect of the "possession" that Mantis does. It looked almost robotic! (And a little creepy!) Good stuff, brother.
I don't often cry to movies but this one got me.
After all these years we have a F-Bomb & Rocket admits he's a raccoon.
And we understood Groot lol
And we had Drax dance
I mean, there was an F bomb in Luke Cage Season 1.
@@nippsliter3318I think they mean the first F bomb in the Marvel movies.
@@nippsliter3318 where, I only remember Mariah dropping the N-word in the s2 finale
This has me in tears in the theater 😢
Same. When Nebula cried I cried. She has come a tremendous way since Vol 1.
When Rocket said “can I come” and it cut back to the scene, it really felt like he was going to die, I was fighting back the tears 😭
@@wingman5100 fr especially when I saw Peter face
24:24 it’s even funnier when you know that Chris Pratt ad libbed the f bomb. The first f bomb in the MCU and it’s not during a battle but Star Lord losing his temper with Nebula.
Perfect use of it too!
I wasn't able to watch this when my friends went, but I caught a screening myself and it was one of the best movie experiences ever.
@crodas6168 I told them not to so they wouldn't see spoilers, try again
@crodas6168no need to be rude mate. He hasn't done anything to you
@crodas6168how would u know how would u actually know
I don't think Groot spoke English at the end. I think we the audience have finally become part of the Guardians family, and we now understand Groot's language.
James Gunn said that on Twitter
This is the way
This is the way.
24:23 first F-bomb in the MCU
The voice of War Pig was done by Judy Greer, who also plays Scott Lang's ex-wife.
yup! and lyla, the otter, was hawkeye's wife
Rockets background story had me in tears the entire time and when he meets Lylla in the afterlife had me crying in tears and I still tear up every time I see the scene

It's the desperate "rocket, teefs, floor go now" for me 😭
Loved all the reactions. You ladies are a joy to watch.
24:23 Line of the movie.
when i was watching the part where rocket was having a breakdown i thought floor said " rocket is far gone now! "
“Eugh dying, Eugh dumbass” gets me every time
Ikr, such an underrated line! 😂
This had me crying all throughout.
I've watched the film 3 times...and every time this hairy grown ass 52 guy cries. Love this.
I love this reaction, good job on edit and reaction

Great movie. I'm gonna miss the guardians.
Cosmo is such a highlight for me despite not really being in the movie. It’s because I’m a humongous sucker for dogs lol.
I'm sure we havent seen the last of her.
@@DefiantGiantProductions I sure hope not! I’d grab a sign and start protesting Disney if they don’t bring her back!
I cried half of the movie when i watched it in cinema.. it became my favorite Marvel movie or movie in general! 🥺
Your mother makes my day a little happier thanks
I hope that Star-Lord has his mask and jet boots the next time we see him! I get Rocket was dying so he didn't really have the time to go get them but hopefully we'll see them next time!
Watching the reaction got me 😢!! Can’t wait to own this on 4K! The best Marvel Movie in YEARS!!
Year and a half (No Way Home).
I love Blurp ( the lil brown fuzzy creature) 🥰🥰
lovely reaction 💜
I think will see them again in kang dynasty or secret wars
This editing is Great well done
Some movies are great no matter how many times you watch them. This is one of them. Be well.
I do think Nebula has feeling for Quil too, but she'd also wait until he's completely over Gamorq
Been a while since I found this channel back in 2016
I do hope that they at least give peter the powers he deserves - like on earth gravity he has them (because of the whole - being part celestial on his dads' side lol).
Didn't Quill's power fizzle out when Ego died?
Such a great movie.
Thanks James Gunn for this movie
0:00 😂
I bet u didn't know that the little furry creature is the same no headed creature from Shang Chi and the legend of the ten rings..
it's not...?
Rocket's story was so sad and High Evolutionary was a good villain :)
like always.. 🍻😭 amazing reaction ❤❤❤
Well you are correct, I am crying. ;(
I must put James Gunn as one of my favorite directors. Anyone who can get me to cry with a CGI raccoon deserves my respect.

What's with the sound? Sounds like they recorded the sound itself of the movie instead of separating the sound from the movie.
