Guardians of the Galaxy... 9 Years Later

[@sarahgs_]

Oftentimes I feel that most Marvel movies aren’t really rewatchable for me personally, but the first Guardians of the Galaxy is an exception to that! It’s so entertaining and fun and it feels like they actually cared about the movie they were making. Plus, the music really makes this movie top tier

[@thegoldman25]

I totally agree

[@AtomicSuperMe]

a year before gotg 1 came out, I lost my mom to cancer, and I was just a little older than what young Peter was at the start. at the time, I had zero real interest in the movie. I might have seen a trailer or two but it wasn't something I was eager to see (dc guy not marvel) but my friends were all going so I went as well. Knowing nothing, when it started, it hurt a lot. I loved the movie in the end, but I never really thought to much about it at the time until later. Hell this video in particular made me realize just how similar our experiences were, only for Peter is was being unable to hold her hand, and for me it was being unable to barely say "I love you" and its definitely something that comes back and haunts me, especially whenever some big milestone comes around like graduation or something. Movie means a lot to me and its something me and my family come back to almost every year (although thats more just because we are watching it with someone and it just so happens to be a year after the last time we did it), and I always enjoy rewatching it again. Never feels like a chore, and theres not a lot of movies I have rewatched (especially that many times) since I was a little kid just watching Toy Story in the car. Dad refers to it as a classic and I couldn't agree more. it will always be one of my favorite movies. When the sequel came out, Gunn became one of my favorite directors and I can't wait for the third and for his Superman movie which I know will probably be my favorite movie he ever does

[@thegoldman25]

I can’t imagine how you feel. But in a way you sharing this is like Peter sharing his pain with the rest of the guardians. Thank you for sharing this story, im so glad to hear how much guardians means to you

[@blueblack3591]

I am so sorry for your loss

[@StarWarsHour]

The guardians and black panther movies are the only mcu movies that feel like the directors got to fulfill there vision. Like the studio let them do what they want.

[@thegoldman25]

A few others, but these two definitely

[@SDfan2002]

Definitely not

2014 had the 2 best movies of the MCU for me, Winter Solider & Guardians. Two completely different kinds of movies yet they're both fantastic!

[@bashengatheblackmanta7003]

One movie is a serious & grounded thriller movie while the other is a fun scifi cosmic adventure movie. 2014 is my favorite year of mcu movie releas because these 2 are still my fav mcu movie.

[@bashengatheblackmanta7003]

X-men dopf also came out that year.

[@TapiTalk]

@@bashengatheblackmanta7003 oh course I can't believe I forgot my favourite X-Men film too! Truly the best variety of films

[@robertmarianomolina295]

Just rewatched vol. 1 last night, planning on rewatching vol 2. next, it's amazing how well the first film holds up almost a decade later. And watching it after vol. 3 just makes it an even better movie in retrospect.

[@JordanEvansMusic]

Still one of my top favorite movies of all time. I could watch this movie over and over again. The highs are so good

[@thegoldman25]

So good!

[@barmanfred3301]

Gotta say, i love your thumbnails and videoformat. Its so enticing i need to click on it, and watch it all the way trough. Keep up the great work!

[@thegoldman25]

I appreciate that! I love your profile pic btw, McLovin!

[@CyberSonic-V3.0]

Great movie and the best of the trilogy (at least until Guardians 3). These characters have imo the best family dynamic in the whole MCU.

[@thegoldman25]

Agreed!

[@kdusel1991]

I agree! I really love this movie! The holiday special is great too because cosmo is best girl.

[@IndianaBones0080]

Guardians of the galaxy and spider-man and like 1 other is single handedly keeping marvel afloat

[@wplays4271]

I personally thought the 2021 game by Eidos Montreal did an even better job at showing the Guardians’ trauma than the movies did. I get it’s unfair to compare a 30 hour game to a 2 hour movie. But it is basically the ultimate guardians experience, it expands on the trauma of every member. Especially Drax. What makes it good is that it nails “show, don’t tell”. You feel even more for Drax. Because they actually show is family. If anyone loves the guardians, and hasn’t played it yet. Please check it out. It’s one of my favorite games of all time, on the same level as Spider-Man PS4

[@chasehedges6775]

Still one of the best films of 2014

[@thegoldman25]

Definitely!

[@kdusel1991]

One of my favorite MCU films as well! Also fancy seeing you here. 😂😂

[@balthazarasquith]

Just a classic film that just happens to be in the Mcu. Even if the mcu wasn't a thing this film would still hold up just as well. Great video man

[@Coffee_nightowl]

I'm one of those who have grown tired of all the super hero movies, they get kinda repetitive after a while. But Guardians Of The Galaxy is the exception and I loved both 1 and 2. The main characters are flawed but loveable, a bunch of traumatized outcasts who become a found family. It just speaks to me more than all the other MCU and DC movies.

[@thatiowan3581]

Superhero movies don't get repetitive; unimaginative movies get repetitive. There's no reason for each new superhero movie to be original

[@GingerShow]

I was hoping you'd do this one! #1 favorite movie!!!!

[@thegoldman25]

Enjoy!

I really hope you make a video on Guardians 2! I know in the past you mentioned you didn’t love it, but I would love to hear you give it another chance (I think it’s the best mcu movie by a mile)

[@thegoldman25]

theres a chance

[@rickygforce4217]

Guardians 2 grows on you - it's more thematically dense but ofc there are a few too many jokes undercutting it here and there

[@rainingwhenidie]

These movies are just so amazing. Funnily enough, I saw 2 before 1, but it was still really enjoyable even if I didn't get everything that happened upon the first viewing. I used to love Marvel movies (thanks to my mom 💜), but also because I was a kid and didn't get snobby around films until ~16 lmao. I'm not a big MCU fan anymore. I didn't keep up with the shows; I tried to get into Wandavision, but I dipped after the 2nd episode (bad attention span tbh). I didn't even watch a lot of "must-see" movies, I was really only a fan of Spider-Man. I still enjoy Homecoming and Far From Home, but I have a lot of criticisms of them and I wouldn't call them great movies (especially the latter), just decent. Even now, I'm sure No Way Home has its problems, but I still really love that one just for fanboying purposes. I'm sure if I looked at it through a critical lense, it wouldn't be as awesome as I thought it was (but it's still pretty awesome I mean it had freaking Willem Dafoe and Alfred Molina like come onnnnnn!!!!!). I thought Multiverse of Madness had cool editing, but everything else ranged from "eh" to "bro what" for me. I didn't keep up with Marvel after that. I didn't even see gotg 3 by my own volition, I went because someone else paying for it. And I'm super glad I saw it! It broke my heart, it made me laugh (even if some of the humor didn't land. Being stoned helped though). It gave me a villain I could just hate. Not sympathize with, not try to understand, just an intimidating villain who I wanted to see suffer; it was refreshing. All of the characters had their moments and were important, so no one was neglected or done dirty by the script. I hadn't seen these characters since Endgame in 2018 and it made me care about them so much: every single one. And it felt like a proper ending, too. I was sad to see them go, but God, it was such a beautiful story and it ended on a sad, but very hopeful note! It's perfect for the series considering it's been nine years. I couldn't be happier with an ending to such a good series and I'm very excited to watch all of the movies again. (In order this time). Also sorry if anything is incoherent my edible has slowly been kicking in during the writing of this comment and I'm about to be in space.

[@rainingwhenidie]

Clarification cause the first points kinda contradicting (sorry for the essay). I liked the avengers, Thor, and Captain America when I was like 8 and mainly bc of the cool superhero shenanigans. I wasn't paying attention to the plot or characters (other than the heros fighting bad guys) which is why I never considered myself a huge marvel fan. I loved them when I was younger but not for the themes 💀💀💀

[@Frederick_VII]

Love your vids

[@thegoldman25]

I love you more

[@powerofanime1]

Iron Man 1 had to build a franchise within a single movie, with a main character that no one liked, an actor who no one else trusted, a script with one foot still in the gleam of the writer's eye and barely anyone willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. GOTG 1 had to introduce an entirely new cast of characters to an established property that seemed to defy all of that property's apparent positives and sell itself to the people that had decided on those standards. Spiderman: Homecoming had to deal with all that and an entire different Fandom putting it under the magnifying glass with the complete confidence that it would fail to stand up to the Raimi films while using a villain that got the same reaction from audiences as Tony Stark did before Iron Man 1 came out. These three movies wound up being the Top 3 of the franchise. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

It feels like it also has a theme of family the holiday special was one of the best examples of that theme

[@aaronamerican5187]

So glad Volume 3 turned out great, at least in my opinion.

[@Dookieman1975]

I’d say it’s a little better than NWH. Which is high praise 8/10

[@rylymbona]

We had a brief break from school and we decided to watch all the MCU movies chronologically and one of our room-mate decided to join us because we're always talking about movies and a lot about the MCU prior to the marathon. He'd never seen a Marvel movie before and by the end he was like, "Yeah, the other characters are cool but the Guardians are the best. They're my favourite." And he's going to see the new one with us in May. I'm so glad that with where the MCU is, I atleast got someone excited to see an MCU movie.

[@HeheSloth]

I had ZERO interst in this film back in 2014 because i didnt know them. Then when it came out on DVD and i watched it with a friend and now this is one of the best mcu film and now i love GG now

[@maveriq.gunpla]

The opening is among the best one. Do Winter Soldier next.

[@wickdaline8668]

GOTG may have also begun the trend of the MCU's frivolous tone. Which has begun to age like sour milk for as long as the MCU lives.

Marvel took a ton of huge risks early on. Even the original Ironman was a gamble. Tony Stark was not an A-list superhero in 2007 and RDJ wasn't exactly at the height of his career.
