HanOfTheNekos 06/26/18 3:26:27 PM #334:	Rocket just flies the ship into Ronan anyway. A mini-nuke doesn't scratch him, but hitting him with a small fighter ship does? Hmm. Once again - Groot's body is very durable. How does his physiology work anyway. He comes back as baby Groot... does he actually die, and just get reborn? Is baby Groot his son? After they crash, a bunch of civilians just come out of nowhere to surround them... why? I thought everyone was supposed to be leaving. And why does Ronan call them the Guardians of the Galaxy anyway? Did he come up with that off the top of his head? Not sure why Quill was so successful in distracting Ronan. Guy should've just not cared and destroyed the planet. This whole sequence with him grabbing the stone, then everyone else slowly grabbing him took too long. "Good thing we didn't deliver him to his dad like we was hired to do." "Yeah, that guy was a jackass." SPOILERS FOR GOTG2 jeez guys Why are all of the civilians still standing around? Awww the name Starlord came from his mom. Dancing baby Groot. A meme for the ages. Still a good movie... on rewatch, it's not as good, but I think that's because a lot of the greatness of the movie comes with meeting the characters. That's huge. This movie is what it is because the characters are done so amazingly well... all five of them. Avengers had a solid ensemble cast, and Whedon did well with showcasing them... but this movie had to introduce you to five main characters, give them backgrounds, give them development... and the movie did it splendidly. Oh, Nathan Fillion was in this movie. Didn't even realize. I like some of the character names in the cast... "Sad Woman With Horns". Cosmo the Space Dog, of course, played by Fred. Still, the plot was... ok. It moved fast, because there was a lot. While this was a strong movie in its own right, it really existed as a chapter of the MCU. That's... kinda a dumb thing to say, but yeah. Starlord discovers Infinity Stone. Gets embroiled in plot involving it. Meets fellow Guardians of the Galaxy. Ronan betrays Thanos. Ronan gets kill. So at this point in the MCU... Collector still has Aether. HYDRA has Loki's Scepter. Asgard has the Tesseract. And the Nova Corps have the purple stone. I can only assume the purple stone is Thanos's favorite. It matches his skin. So much of this movie is thanks to great writing. From the beginning (after Quill's mom's death), they made it clear that the movie was a comedy. Every other line int he movie was humorous. Most of the time, it wasn't cringe humor either. Drax's literal personality was designed to make the guy a joke. Rocket's personality is so dark and hilariously endearing. Groot is Groot. Quill is the asshole jokester, which is... kinda typical, but it's ok. Gamora gets stuck being the straight man, but even she has some good moments trying to interpret Quill's idioms. Postcredits Scene: Don't fucking show us Howard the Duck. You haven't done anything with him. Cosmo is amazing though. When does Cosmo join the Guardians of the Galaxy? What wasted IP. Weirdly, I'm putting this one behind Avengers for the moment. Characters were better in GotG, but I preferred Avengers on a rewatch.
