Guardians of the Galaxy **FIRST TIME WATCHING**

[@dlweiss]

Fun fact: you're 100% correct thinking of Alyssa Milano when he mentioned that his ship is called the "Milano." Remember, Peter grew up on Earth in the 80s, so he named his ship after his childhood crush from TV. Great reactions as always! :)

And I think it's an addition by director James Gunn and was not in the original comics. *edit : was 'not'

Comment sections teach you so many cool things. I never knew that but it makes perfect sense. Personally from my era I would have named it Thw Silverstone, or The Crawford

[@natecloe8535]

​​@@gazorbo.Did James add it at the same time he was adding all those perverted things to preteens online. Right before Marvel fired him publicly for it. Then waited 3 days for our nations memory span to let us forget hes a pervert harrassing kids. Then give him the greenlight to direct Guardians again. I HATE that these are my favorite Marvel movies. Gunn doesnt deserve the admiration. Because its true the guy can direct the shit out of a movie.

You should watch all three movies. Guardians is the best that ever happend to Marvel. All the movies with Guradians are FANTASTIC

The series Loki is phenomenal

Agreed

[@markcainyourfriendinthecar3387]

Nice to see some reactors that understand the references in this movie.

[@Leekle2ManE]

Just so there's no confusion moving forward, the Baby Groot sprouting at the end is an offspring of the original, not the original regrowing. This was a point of contention for a while until James Gunn spoke up and cleared things up.

[@mikeyj7824]

I never thought about it before. But when groot gave the little girl on nowhere the flower it was probobly the first flower she had ever seen.

[@kaylachanxo]

my fav series. laughed and cried in each one

[@ScreamingScallop]

Gunn worked on all three _Guardians_ movies _plus_ the _Guardians Holiday Special,_ and that's it for his MCU directoral work. In the DC movies, he directed _THE Suicide Squad,_ easily the best of the DCEU, and its spinoff series _Peacemaker._ (ETA Gunn has also made a couple of independent superhero flicks: the dark comedy _Super_ (2010), about a "normal world" costumed vigilante, and the 2019 horror drama _Brightburn,_ which is kind of "imagine _Superman: The Movie_ but it's really _The Omen.")_ It took HUGE GUTS to build up Ronan as this mortifying unstoppable horror and then clown him like that, two steps away from a Three Stooges bit. But it worked!

[@Uatu-the-Watcher]

Quill was about 10 when he was abducted in 1988. When you think about it, that when his education stopped. Him being “stupid” isn’t all his fault.

[@ronweber1402]

He was eight. He says so in the third movie.

[@JarofMayonaise]

"You guys are 100% human. I'm only 50% human. So that 50% human that makes me stupid, is 100% you." Or something like that.

[@Keys-zq1gw]

Groot has the best fourth wall break ever after he thrashes the bad guys around. That little smile, like he’s sheepishly pleased with himself. Like he’s saying, “Did you guys see that? You see what I just did?” 🤭😂😂

[@trevorsmith9162]

At 30:59 the game Rocket Groot and Drax are watching while they consume alcoholic beverages is a space version of the game known as - Rat-baiting a blood sport that involves releasing captured rats in an enclosed space with spectators betting on how long a dog, usually a terrier, takes to kill the rats. often, two dogs competed, with the winner receiving a cash prize. It is now illegal in most countries.

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

I’d also recommend watching the Christmas Special before watching GotG 3, as there’s some fairly pertinent information that gets passed on.

[@santa1563]

the guardians were my absolute favorite group in the mcu. james gunn wrote and directed the entire gotg trilogy. I love them even as their own standalone universe, which when they first came out they kinda were.

[@robbherriman3302]

At the end, if you grew up in the 70's and 80' s you should know that was Howard the Duck with the collector. He was part of Marvel comics and was from outerspace.

[@annewoodard6803]

I couldn’t imagine myself liking a movie with a tree and a talking raccoon, but Guardians ranks in my top 5 Marvel movies. I love this film. 😁💖

[@scubasmith]

The duck at the end is Howard the Duck another Marvel character. Check out his movie way back in 1986 with Lea Thompson. Guys our age will remember her from Back to the Future as Marty's mom. Nice little Easter egg, all the young people in the theater were googling to find out who that was.

[@priestpeace219]

I went to the theater to watch this film with absolutely no knowledge about what the hell is the Guardians of the Galaxy. I left the theater completely in love with all of them. This film will forever have a special place in my heart as well as James Gunn. Definitely one of my top five all-time favorite MCU films.

[@ZelbeQahi]

I’m with you! I too grew up with this music. These songs weren’t a part of my collection but hearing them today still brings back memories. I’m a 60 year old disabled veteran.

[@antonbrakhage490]

GotG is one of my favourite films from a scriptwriting perspective. It has very little to do with the rest of the MCU up to that point, but it's so well-constructed, it introduces all of these characters, gives them all distinct personalities, creates this whole universe, and is a strong self-contained story. It is a masterclass in efficient scripting and pacing.

[@spf4yt]

Fellow old guy here. Like in the days of pika and elite typeface instead of fonts. It's great revisiting these movies with you two. Thanks for the laughs. Cheers!

[@cheshirekat528]

Loved you guys calling Ronan a “Homicidal Gallagher” mostly because I just introduced my 17 year old to Gallagher’s stand up a couple of weeks ago 😆 he thought Gallagher was hilarious.

The Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy are my favorite movies and Characters outside of Spider-Man and Captain America in the MCU. It really is one of the most unique stories in this franchise. I grew up with this kind of music because it was all my parents played and I developed a deep love for it. It’s weird being in my mid 20s and being the only one in a friend group that knows all these artists. I love it when I have something that can connect me to the people I’m watching. Your generation didn’t really cross my mind though until the music started. I think it’s great though having a classic soundtrack because it has introduced many young people and some of my own friends to some great music. 😄

[@ThatMichaelGuy12]

This was my first reaction for your page. Loved the generational outlook on films. I will be watching a lot moving forward. Also I grew up with this music in the background as well. I’m only 33 but my parents knew how to spark a big love for older music, it’s actually my preference. 😊

The Jackson Pollock joke I always thought was a bit out of place for Peter to remember him 26 years later (unless he had like a book or pamphlet about him in his backpack).

Howard The Duck (the duck who shows up at the end) starred in the first ever Marvel movie made for theatrical release back in the 1980s. It's widely regarded as one of the worst movies ever made though and it was a box-office disaster, so I wouldn't recommend you rush out and watch it.

It was so bad it killed the comic. The character was actually one of the better ones being a satire on society. Tag line was Trapped in a universe he never made. One of the earliest references to the multiverse but not the earliest.

[@amberkinney6167]

Commenting for algarythm

[@Mar-op2sd]

One of the best marvel movies

[@nvp8191]

Regarding power scaling for the MCU you have to note that some characters are stronger or weaker than the comic book version. For example Steve in the comic book it is maximum could only lift 6 tons which is what the MCU version could could lift but every time you see him he gets stronger like in the Winter soldier his maximum was 9 tons then later he's much stronger around 15 tons. Drax in the comic books is much stronger and then the MCU version but at this time he's at least 10 times stronger than Captain America the Winter soldier Steve Rogers which is about 90 tons. Gamora was stronger in the comic books too but currently she's about three times stronger than Winter soldier movie Steve Roger and the only reason gamora and Drax seem weak compared to Ronan because Ronan is equal to Thor. Also when Ronan has the power stone he's equal to the Hulk so of course you would think Drax the destroyer is weak compared to Ronan. Also Ranon with the power stone is equal to the hulk base level strength because the Hulk gets stronger angry he gets in the longer a fight goes on. Not to say there aren't characters that are stronger than the Hulk base level strength one of them being Thanos.

[@eddietucker7005]

I was a child in the 80s and I grew up with my mother's favourite music always playing in the background: Abba, most 60s and 70s stuff as well, the Beatles. Abba I like personally, but if I hear any music from that time frame, I'm taken back to the long summer days of my childhood, playing with my toys on the stairs (He-Man climbing a cliff to get to Skeletor), my mother in the kitchen cooking or ironing or something, and the music all around us. The smell of summer wafting through the windows, or some fruit scones just out of the oven. The slightest piece of any of that music, and I'm 6 or 7 again... wondering where the time has gone.

Re: Yandu, you will have to eat crow when it comes to the second one. It wasn't the troll doll he was liking, it's Peter, he was kinda proud that he one upped him.
