*GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3* wrecked me!

Natalie: "Who's back and ready for more Marvel? This girl!" 😁 Me having seen GotG vol. 3 and knowing Natalie's got a huge soft spot for animals: "No, you're not."

The realization that Nebula and Rocket were alone without the rest of the Guardians for 5 years during the Blip and only had each other makes her eagerness to save him and her reaction when she heard that he was alive heartbreaking

The final scene is surreal to me. Here is this guy who went on cosmic adventures, faced down galactic threats, was turned to dust for 5 years, fell in love with a space warrior, and stopped several extinction level events ending up back on Earth sitting across from his grandfather, eating a bowl of cereal complaing about some dude watching him mow the grass. Hell of an ending to the Guardians movies, 10/10

That bit at the end with Groot was actually to show that we as an audience had spent enough time with the group to understand Groot now, making us part of the family.

God, the High Evolutionary is arguably the most pure evil MCU villain, because he's not just evil, he's a cruel sort of evil who cares about absolutely nothing other than himself. Chukwudi Iwuji is an INCREDIBLE actor; he played that role so well.

"Name's Rocket, Rocket Racoon." would be a stupid as hell line in any other context, but Gunn managed to make it insanely satisfying and cathartic as fuck.

The scene where Rocket takes all those baby raccoons, just fully accepting that he is who he is, is so well done. I cried about 12 times in this movie. Top 3 marvel movies for sure.

Rocket's anguished wail is truly soul-shattering; there's something about that sound that always hits on a really primal level in us.

The first GOTG was my mom’s favorite comic book movie ever, sadly she passed away from cancer complications in 2015 at just 65 years old. What hooked her to the movie at first was the soundtrack of many of the songs she grew up on, but then she loved it so much that she became a fan of the MCU. It’s why this franchise has a very special place in my heart. So when Dog Days Are Over (ANOTHER favorite of mine and my mom’s) was playing and the Guardians were celebrating/moving on with their lives, I was a wreck. Not out of pain of loss, but of remembering the good times I had with my mom. As for the movie itself, it’s one of my top 10 favorite comic book movies ever, as well as an all time favorite. With a supervillain I have never wanted to kill more than The High Evolutionary. And I love that the song that was played to send off the Guardians Of The Galaxy was the first song we as the audience heard when we saw Peter in the opening titles of Vol 1. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go listen to Come And Get Your Love by Redbone!

I think the part of this movie I appreciate most is that the stakes aren't the end of the world for once and that's extremely refreshing. Yes, the high evolutionary may have become a bigger threat down the road but they didn't do any of this to save anyone but rocket

Chris Pratts scream when Rocket was flatlining, absolutely gut wrenching. I’ve watched this movie 3 times and seen about 10 commentaries and it still shakes me to my core. So much raw, tangible emotion packed into such a short scene for a cgi character and you can feel every bit of it.

James Gunn confirmed that since we have been with the guardians for so long, we are finally able to understand groot at the end of the movie. Also the line “this story has been yours all along you just didn’t know it” is a message from James Gunn, he agreed to do the guardians movies because he wanted to tell the story of rocket. From day 1 it’s been his story

"are they gonna give me Rocket's backstory? I can't handle that" Nat... I cannot even begin to describe how little you can handle that

In the theatre it was rough holding back. through so many moments. Their acting was so great Drax:- " I had a daughter just like you." About killed me. Nebula:- "You weren't born to be a Destroyer. You were born to be a Dad. " pushed me over and the tears rolled.

When groot says "I love you guys" at the end, it's supposed to represent the viewers spending so much time with him that we can now understand him. Which I think is a pretty cool concept.

This movie is a piece of art. The moment when Adam saves Quill, they both make THAT pose which resembles a famous painting, "The creation of Adam". This was so poetic and creative. Really sets in the idea that Adam is being created as a guardian as he saves Peter. James Gunn is a genius. Can't wait to see his take on DCU.

This was a rough one, Rocket's first word breaks me everytime.

James Gunn showed Marvel that it was a huge mistake to let him leave

“You weren’t born to be a destroyer, you where born to be a dad” destroys me every time

The GREAT things about Adam's simplicity, is that he is literally only about 4 days old.
