Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 1-3 is amazing trilogy with-in MCU. It rivals with Captain American trilogy imho.

[@torontomame]

I was geeking out in the theatre when Nebula and Gamora were fighting each other. I first became a fan of the amazing Karen Gillian when she started as Amy Pond, on Doctor Who. And I first saw Zoe Zaldana on Star Trek. So my brain was screaming in excitement, "Lt Uhura of the Enterprise vs Amy Pond of the TARDIS!!" *squee!!* 😁🥰🤩

[@erikawilliams9558]

Yay someone else remembers amy pond

[@jakeharbeck1327]

I love your reactions! You really feel these movies.

[@CatDadsReactVTTV]

We really appreciate that 😊

[@KCATWIL]

YES!! The Dog is based on Laika! Her name is Cosmo in the movie. My dog was her for Halloween last year 😂

[@CatDadsReactVTTV]

Omg that’s such a cool idea for a costume !!!!!

[@oougahersharr]

@@CatDadsReactVTTV And you are the only reactor that I've seen who picked up on this fact. In the comics she and Rocket hated each other, and if you notice, when they see each other in the film, they growl at each other.

[@CatDadsReactVTTV]

@@oougahersharr its the little details with Marvel. Love it!!!

[@langleymneely]

To this day the opening of this film hits me so hard because in 2014 when this released I lost my own mother to cancer and my only big sister to a heart attack. It was the worst year of my entire life but this film was incredibly cathartic for me because I completely understood how Peter felt.

[@testfire3000]

Sorry for your loss friend. I have been there too and seeing a movie where someone dies in a hospital bed is sometimes difficult, especially when everyone tells you how hilarious this movie is, you sit down and *bam* they hit you with this! But I realize it is all part of the shared human experience.

[@langleymneely]

@@testfire3000 Thank you! This means more than you can know!❤️🙏🏾

[@TwistedSynn]

He mentioned the pods weren't made for space flight they are construction pods, so they have no airlock, all the air that was in it was what was already in it, as soon as he opened it to go out to her it lost all that air.

[@CatDadsReactVTTV]

Ahhhh that makes a lot of sense!!!!

[@BigGator5]

"No, Groot! You can't! You'll die! Why are you doing this? Why?" "We are Groot." Fun Fact: Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper) was modelled on a raccoon named Oreo living in the UK. Stan Lee Cameo Fact: Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper) spots Stan "The Man" Lee explaining something to a younger woman (Nicole Alexandra Shipley). Historical Fact: The cassette player used by Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) was the Sony TPS-L2. It was the first personal cassette player released in 1979. It was originally called the Soundabout, then changed to Walkman. Voice Play Fact: According to Vin Diesel, the voice of Groot, he recorded Groot's iconic line "I am Groot" over one thousand times. Vin Diesel recorded all his lines in several different languages, including Russian, Mandarin, Spanish, Portuguese, German, and French, so that they could use his real voice in the film around the world. Music Enthusiast Fact: According to James Gunn, the film's soundtrack is composed mainly of 1970s and 1980s songs, as they are part of Quill's (Chris Pratt) memories of Earth: "The music is one of those touchstones we have to remind us that Quill is a real person from planet Earth who's just like you and me, except that he's in this big outer space adventure." Creator Approval Fact: Prior to release, Bill Mantlo, the comic book writer who co-created Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper), and has been permanently hospitalized due to the severity of a crippling traffic accident in 1992, was granted a private screening by Marvel Entertainment and Walt Disney Pictures. According to his brother, Michael Mantlo, Bill was pleased with the adaptation (which credits him by name as the character's creator) and considered the occasion a happy day for him and his family. In exchange for the rights to Mantlo's characters, Marvel arranged a compensation package for him that, according to Michael, ensures Bill receives the care he needs for the rest of his life.

[@testfire3000]

Excellent facts! I had never heard that last one, that is pretty cool.

[@BigGator5]

testfire3000 ...It was indeed a heart felt story. Go with God and Be Safe from Evil. 😎 👍

[@langleymneely]

Watching you two make the realization that Bradley Cooper is Rocket & Vin Diesel is Groot is adorable. One of the main reasons I watch reactions from MCU newcomers. As a die hard comics and MCU fan for decades now I always appreciate seeing others discover the Marvel universe for the first time! Keep it coming gentleman!❤

[@CatDadsReactVTTV]

Awwww - thank you! It really was a nice surprise to realize that. A testament the actors did an AMAZING job with the voicing and characterizations.

[@gridlo]

Howard the Duck was the first Marvel character adapted for a big budget movie. And it bombed so badly it was the last for many, many years.

[@carlgibson285]

Great reaction, guys! Also, well done recognising Howard The Duck at the end. I've watched many, many reactions to this movie and you're the first to recognise him!

35:17 Props for picking up on the inspiration for a blink and you’ll miss it character that is really important to the Guardians as a team in the comics and video games BUT doesn’t get to have a full fledged role in the MCU until the 3rd Guardians film. Thats Cosmo the courageous COSMOnaut that was done dirty by Russia yet mysteriously survived space and evolved to have super powers of their own! #CosmosAReallyReallyGoodDog

[@torontomame]

Your reaction to seeing Howard the Duck at the end. 🤣😂🤣 That's exactly how I reacted (having rented Howard the Duck on VHS back in the 80s). I said the exact words out loud. (With a "what the f*ck?" tossed in. 🤣

[@CatDadsReactVTTV]

😂😂😂 Exactly!! I was in a perpetual limbo - “Is that…? no - it can’t be… IT IS!!!” What a nice surprise at the end.

Alrighty. Just finished binging your Marvel playlist (started with Guardians) and I’ve subbed. I enjoy your reactions and like your little bit of analysis after. I’m pretty keen to see what Tony has to say once you guys have done End Game. Great work guys. And, I should probably put this part of the comment in that movie, everything you said about Thor 2 is what a lot of people think also. It’s not a bad movie but doesn’t quite hit the mark, made even more obvious by some really nice and cool moments in it.

[@CatDadsReactVTTV]

Thank you for giving us a chance!!!

[@jamesblaine5517]

Just found your channel two days ago and I am absolutely loving you guys, and your cats are so adorable.

Awww thank you thank you thank thank you!! We hope we keep bringing you stuff you like.

[@kenpatton8761]

FYI-The opening song „Come and Get Your Love“ is by a Native American band called „Red Bone“. You can see them perform this song live on U-Tube from a 1975 show called „The Midnight Special“. Cheers

[@CatDadsReactVTTV]

Thank you so much for that - one of my coworkers mentioned the same as well! It was great to know more history about “Red Bone”. Amazing song. 😺

[@langleymneely]

33:35 “Copyright” is my all time favorite banger of song! How you guys knew it would work here is AMAZING!? 😜

[@CatDadsReactVTTV]

LOL!!!! With out luck, the copyright police will probably hit us with a copyright claim on our own singing 😹

[@geak78]

"Marvel's super power is making us cry over a tree" Yup. They are great at bringing the tears...

[@CatDadsReactVTTV]

It just keeps coming! And we’ve been hearing about more crying up ahead 🫢

[@nvp8191]

The statements I'm making is based off the MCU version of the characters not the comic book interpretations because the comic book versions are a lot stronger. Rocket raccoon is smarter than Tony Stark. Groot died in this movie the Groot at the end in the planter is his son. Gamora's is 2 to 3 times stronger than Captain America and Drax is 5 times stronger than gamora. The only reason Drax seen weaker then Ronan the accuser is because Ronan himself is equal to current Thor normal with a weapon that also equal to Thor's hammer. Now of course with the power Stone Ronan is more powerful than Thor and strength is equal to if not greater than the Hulk base level strength without getting angry. For Some base level scaling the Hulk is able to lift the empire State building without getting angry.

[@MC-zr6gc]

26:00, it also helps that he's a raccoon, and they're notorious for stealing sh*t, ESPECIALLY shiny sh*^. And technology does, more often than not, lean in the "shiny" department. The amount of sense that this makes for his character is verrrrrry clever. subtle. but as time goes on, keep an eye on Rocket and his sticky fingers. When he walks through a random room, it's like a "spot the difference" game. lol

Fun fact, when Chris Pratt dropped the orb in Knowhere with the Collector, it wasn't scripted for his character. The actor actually dropped the orb by accident, but they kept it in because it was fitting for Pratt's character, Peter Quill😅😂

[@markcainyourfriendinthecar3387]

Guardians is an emotional roller coaster.

[@CatDadsReactVTTV]

The first movie was wow!!! I can’t imagine what’s to come.

[@edgarcia4794]

As you continue your Guardians viewing don't forget the Guardians Holiday special, It falls between the second and third movie and explains a few things.

[@torontomame]

Definitely! I somehow missed the holiday special, so a couple things in Vol 3 caught me off guard.

[@torontomame]

"We're in space too. We are ! Earth is in space." Best observation ever. You guys are not only ridiculously attractive, but a hell of a lot of fun. Makes watching your reactions truly enjoyable. The Guardians are great. Looking forward to seeing you ride the roller-coaster that is their story, and how they fit into the rest of the MCU.

[@CatDadsReactVTTV]

LOL!! Thank you so much for the support!! I mean - sometimes we forget we are a floating ball of rock in space, so had to do a little reality check in there 😂 Excited to see what’s next!

[@World-Maker]

Great work😀👍 very cool you know Howard The Duck! I actually saw his movie when it was in Theatres way back in the 80s, Yeah! I'm old😅👍👍

[@CatDadsReactVTTV]

LOL! Yes - I’m (Victor) old 😂 I remember him as a kid and couldn’t discern if it was really him but turns out it was! So cool.

[@roystoyscomics1361]

Thanos is an Eternal from the planet Titan. Gamora and Nebula are both adopted by Thanos. They are not related as they are all different species. Ronan is a Kree fanatic who was hired by Thanos to retrieve the Orb on Morag. Ronan in turn sent Korath the Pursuer who is the dark skinned Kree cyborg. Not to be confused with Yondu Udonta, a Ravager pirate who was hired to pick up Peter Quill a.k.a. Star Lord. Rocket Raccoon was originally a Terran raccoon who was experimented on both genetically and had mechanical implants installed. Which is why he can walk, talk, fire a blaster or pilot a ship. Groot is from a plant like race who Rocket encountered in his travels and partnered up with. Drax the destroyer had his family murdered by Ronan and he holds a bit of a grudge 😅 The Russian astronaut dog is named Cosmo. The talking duck is Howard the Duck. George Lucas made a live action movie on Howard with Lea Thompson. 😂 They actually made a dancing baby Groot toy. You might be able to find one on E-bay. 😂

[@t.j._fury]

If you guys react to the 1st 6 Star Wars movies, I will definitely subscribe. And no doubt, so will a lot of others. We don't talk about the new trilogy. It's good he didn't pay attention, lol. Depending on how much you know about Star Wars, will determine which order you should watch it in. Release order is the safest bet. But if you know the 2 big Twists in the originals, then chronological order is also fine, imo. ❤

[@CatDadsReactVTTV]

That is actually one of the series we want to watch next! Tony saw one of the new ones, and I remember watching one of the first three that came out as a kid - The Jedi one I think. I know. We deserve to be slapped, lol. But we’ll definitely watch those. 😺

[@petekollie]

that is the best family in the mcu

[@testfire3000]

Hey guys! That was terrific. I have watched just a crazy amount of MCU reaction channels. I must commend you on the clever way you handled the copyright music. It was very well done and you even matched the tone and the tempo to go with the song you had to replace. This allowed you to make the video longer which really helps one of the problems of your early videos. I have always thought this movie is a fantastic way to build a team in a single movie. The Avengers had five films to give background on most of the characters before bringing them together, Guardians did it in a single film and got us to care about each member and even cry over a tree!

[@mjkjelland13]

That is Howard the Duck, which is a Marvel Character

[@CatDadsReactVTTV]

Yesssss!!! That was such a nice surprise!

[@kimwatchesstuff]

Yes, that was Howard the Duck. He is a Marvel property, had comic books and everything back in the day, including the movie. Howard is an alien, so it's possible he could have crossed paths with the collector, lol....

So... I tend to stay away from duo reactions (there are exceptions), and I almost scrolled past this reactions in my recommended videos. Then I saw the name of the channel, and as a cat dad myself, I watched. It was at the point where you realized the collateral damage that happened, where I decided to subscribe. That being said... you are definitely one of the exceptions and great reaction. You'll find the Guardian's movies the editing nightmares of the MCU.

Every episode destroys you, it is the perfect reaction show. Thanks for the entertaining content.

If no one else said it. That baby groot is not groot. Is the offspring of him. Please don't do the "I don't beleive any death anymore" because it would be like the boy and the wolf situation,if you know what i mean. Without spoilers nebula also is adopted. Thanos is a titan ,nebula a kree.

[@spencernaugle]

When this movie came out, nobody knew much about Guardians of the Galaxy, even most comic book fans. The movie versions of the characters are almost completely different from the original comic book versions. They even rebooted the Guardians of the Galaxy comic and completely changed the characters based off the script for the movie. But, by the time you get to Guardians 3, the characters are more like their original selves, so it's like the movies are a prequel to the comics.

[@kimwatchesstuff]

I cant wait for you to get into Infinity Wars and End Game lol. Its so good.

[@YardenHaddad]

The rule in Comic Book movies as a whole is- "If you don't see the body, they aren't dead". I don't care if there's a funeral if they don't show the life leave the body they aren't dead.

[@oougahersharr]

Actually, Groot did die. That's his seedling, if you will, Baby Groot. The way his species (Groot is also the name of the species) reproduces is to leave seedlings to grow. It is uncertain if Rocket found a seedling in the crash or if the plant Day was caring for in his quarters was the seedling.

[@YardenHaddad]

@oougahersharr I wasn't speaking about Groot. Cat Dads also spoke on this issue in the Winter Soldier reaction, so I just wanted to clarify how it works overall. And even if I were, the rule would apply to him since his body was smashed to pieces. Showing us he is dead.

[@oougahersharr]

@@YardenHaddad AH, you are correct. Thanks for clarifying. I always like a good conversation, and I love learning things. I don't mind being corrected when I'm wrong. And you have a very good point about MCU (and Marvel Comics in general, I would say from my personal experience). Marvel is a real bear for heartstring pulling and tear jerking. And never trust a death you don't witness yourself in many movies, it seems, not just Marvel. LOL.

[@dturasky19]
