RLM guys really liked it too.

I hate James Gunn for making me cry like a baby with a bunch of kids. Kind of surprised he was allowed to get away with how nasty and depressing that movie was. The highs were real high but the lows were such a gut punch. Much more gorier than I expected. Best GOTG film for sure.

I’ve never heard them happily recommend an MCU movie and to watch it in the theaters (!!). Mike even said he’ll watch it twice.

When I saw they had a review out I made a joke that I hoped they didn't hate it and make me feel like an asshole who doesn't understand cinema but we were all basically on the same page. Starting to feel a little more confident that that's my favorite MCU movie and my favorite movie I've seen so far this year, although that hasn't been a ton yet.

I thought there was a "fuck" in No Sleep Til Brooklyn too but apparently I misheard.

[Crab Mech]

I also really loved that as just a joke about Nebula, this incredibly advanced piece of living technology, not understanding clunky proprietary Oldsmobile tech.

[Dad Dog]

guardians was awesome, really stuck the landing.

SPOILER: Click to show

liked how they have Adam as this doesn't know his own strength Mama's boy, but was sort of weird there was no acknowledgement of her death after it happened

I sort of figured they'd have rocket and Groot as side figures that would pop up but cool to see what could be a whole team going forward

peter on earth could be fun, interested to see where he pops up.

[Dad Dog]

saw some people suggest that they should replace Majors with Iwuji and I would be so down, guy was electric

[Crab Mech]

Gotta say I was pretty meh on that post-credits scene lol

[thebluebus]

I kind of liked the Rocket story but was surprised they decided to build the whole movie around it.

Biggest thing for me was that their attempts at humor continue to get more and more corny. From a great first Guardians, to an "eh" 2nd one, this last Vol was the cringiest one yet in terms of humor.

[Crab Mech]

I think a few comedic beats went on too long but 2 was worse and the Taika and other Marvel movies are way worse, imo.

[thebluebus]

I mean yeah, the MCU in general has got a bit more corny as its went on but speaking on the Guardians specifically, it just seems like this was the culmination of that. Guardians vol 1 is still one of my favorite films from the MCU but this new one just fell pretty flat for me.

Like I mentioned, I actually liked the first one quite a bit. But idk, maybe the whole routine hasn't changed much and its just getting old. Still say its fallen off for me tho.

Would Echo be the first time Disney+ dropped a show binge-release instead of weekly?

I think so but idk they might have shows I don't watch that do?

[itrainmonkeys]

I'm definitely watching Echo for the Daredevil/Kingpin of it all but I hope they find a way to make the title character a bit more interesting with a good story for the season. I liked her well enough in Hawkeye but not sure what this show will ultimately be about with her at the lead

[Crab Mech]

The Mario movie also has Chris Pratt and a No Sleep Til Brooklyn needle drop. The singularity is upon us.

Oh shit. I read that as Marvel. I'm pretty sure Disney dropped other stuff all at once too.Doogie Kamealoha, MD comes to mind.

So I just got out of GOTG3 and it's the best MCU movie?

Nah buts it's top 5 maybe 3

[Crab Mech]

I think so, yeah. Particularly if you don't like IW/EG.

[Ellie]

Also, I would do terrible things for Cosmo, who is best girl

[Crab Mech]

It kinda feels like the only Marvel movie with like.. themes lol
