GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 - MOVIE REACTION - FIRST TIME WATCHING

[@DarkPaladin24]

"I've got so many more stories to tell." That line hits me differently these days. Rest in peace, Stan Lee.

[@garyfranks4935]

Thank you Stan for all the joy you gave.

[@internetsideshow]

Addie: "I just want my own baby Groot to have and to hold forever and ever." Potted Plant it the background: "Dude, I'm right here."

[@testfire3000]

Hahahaha, good one!

[@maximillianosaben]

Took my stepfather to see this on Father's Day a couple of years before he passed away. It was the perfect film to see on that day, and it was a miracle it was still playing in theaters, but that's New York City baby!

[@c.t.1893]

Sorry to hear about your loss, but glad you had a good memory of such a good movie to see with them.

[@dabreal82]

Why was it a miracle???

[@maximillianosaben]

@@dabreal82 - Cause after a month and a half of being released, it wasn't playing in most any theaters anymore anywhere. That's how movie releases generally work...

[@dabreal82]

@@maximillianosaben well... not usually for popular movies

[@maximillianosaben]

@@dabreal82 - Glad you think you have your finger on the pulse.

[@MattRowland]

The ending of this film means so much to me. My step father married my mother when I was 4 and then adopted me when I was 8. He loved me as if I was biologically his, and never treated me differently than his own biological son. Like Yondu said, he may not have been my father, but he was my dad. He raised me, cared for me, loved me, and showed me how to be the man I am today, things my biological father missed out on completely. While I like the first film better, the ending of this one hits me every time.

[@zebrion5793]

The ending of this movie always hits the feels. Family isn't always blood, and blood isn't always family.

[@Logan_Baron]

Nebula is one of my favorite redemption storylines, because it's not pure "seeing the light" as most redemption stories, but she doesn't change that much, but we understand her better.

[@spacezombie13]

Sylvester Stalone's team at the end (plus Yondu) were the original Guardians of the Galaxy in the comics. the team we follow in the movies was a newer team that Marvel Studios felt would do better for a movie. personally, i'd like a short movie (or even an animated special) about the OG team with a younger Yondu as the lead one day lol

[@bigdream_dreambig]

Interesting!

[@Caseytify]

The original Starlord was very different as well. If anyone can track down the John Byrne 1 issue Starlord, it's worth a look. edit: That's more like what the original Yondu looked like, with the large red mohawk.

[@inarar5334]

Taserface also came from that teams book. He was the leader of the Stark, an alien culture that basically worship Stark tech in the future.

[@elloguvna3072]

My compliments for the multiple "that's what she said" references - made me laugh.

[@houdin654jeff]

The growth of the characters in this movie (and upcoming movies they appear in) is one of the reasons I love the Guardians so much. Rocket seems like a jerk to everyone, but he's doing it because of his fear of losing the only family he's ever had. Him realizing it at Yondu's funeral was a real tear jerker when I saw it the first time, and the line, "...and he stole batteries he didn't need" still hits me now and then. Nebula's journey in this movie is amazing, but where she ends up by [movie title redacted because spoilers] is even better. One moment that is also touching is Drax and Mantis sitting by the pool. No words are exchanged, but Mantis touches his shoulder while he thinks about his daughter and immediately breaks down in tears. Inside his rough exterior, Drax is perhaps the most in touch with his feelings of loss, and that scene shows it perfectly. Such a great movie, glad it connected with you.

[@robbob5302]

Sorry. I can only afford to lose one friend today.

[@Logan_Baron]

"What kind of team is this?" Based on the original Guardians of the Galaxy comic, which was a completely different group far in the future. Actually, the one I was familiar with before these movies. It was an interesting comic series that showed a future, with influences from the regular Marvel universe. Like one of the first stories was a quest to find Captain America's shield which in that future was seen as more of a mystical artifact (It wasn't but that's how it was considered). There were appearances by descendants of the current heroes, and new identities of the heroes that were long lived or near immortal.

[@dabreal82]

It's almost like the movies and comics aren't the same thing... 🤔

[@Logan_Baron]

@@dabreal82 Yeah, I wasn't trying to claim they were or should be. If the movies were exactly the same they'd be redundant. I was just pointing out some information. Also my comment isn't even about the movies and comics being different, as much as different versions of the comics. The old version that I used to read, and the newer one with the team that this movie is actually based on.

[@The_RedVIII]

I think this is actually even better than the first one. This one has a much higher emotional stakes, it has much more backstory to the characters and so much more character development. The first movie is fantastic and brought the group together in the best way, but this one definitely sticks with me even more.

[@spaceguy8000]

Fun Fact: Kraglin, Yondu's 2nd in command (the guy that gets Yondu's arrow in the end) is Sean Gunn, the Director/Writer James Gunn's brother. He also did the physical portrayal of Rocket before being dubbed over by Bradley Cooper. He was also in 137 episodes of The Gilmore Girls as the quirky awkward town handy man.

[@alextan1478]

Nice reaction, Addie. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is a great follow-up to Vol. 1. I even saw this movie in IMAX 3D with my dad and enjoyed it, just as much as I did with the first film. And yes, I can hear the bird chirping at the start. Not only that, the extreme Addie close-up at 4:44, along with "That's what she said" at 18:18 & 18:21, was so funny.

[@alextan1478]

*(8 months later) ...and also at 18:28.

[@williameleno]

One of the most heart breaking things about nebula's story in the comics is that she was described as very beautiful before she was replaced piece by piece by Thanos, making her a ruthless, hateful and traumatized cyborg.

[@Bar-Lord]

Fun fact: Martinex (the guy with the crystal looking head) was played by Lex Luthor himself, Michael Rosenbaum. It blew my mind when he was cast. I hope we get more of him in a future film.

[@Bad_Wolf_Media]

And the robot head - Mainframe - was voiced by Miley Cyrus.

[@FeelItRising]

Well he is very good buddies with James Gunn

[@sammylane21]

When Quill shouted "Of course I've got issues... that's my FREAKING father!" I thought to myself, this scene should be a freaking 3D sim ride/attraction in all Disney Parks.

[@mrlol2238]

Oh dear…..a bird….working with dogs that are chirping…..about your window. Perfect mindspace for this one.

[@Rhodair]

Something unconfirmed but worth considering is that Peter may not of had those powers activated if he hadn't interacted with the power infinity stone. It's possible if he'd been delivered as a child, he too would've been discarded by Ego.

[@Saje3D]

Think it more likely had to do with the fact Peter’s mom was the only one Ego had legitimate feelings for.

[@omrmajeed]

You are not alone. Most of us (inclusing myself) thought that Baby Groot was Groot reborn at the end of GOTG1. People only found out that this Groot was different because of interviews done by the Director later on.

[@Fonny222]

Yeah someone told me that in the comics Groots species could maintain their memories when they regrow. (Not sure if that’s true) So I assumed that he was the same. Then the director when asked said it was not the same Groot.

[@zmarko]

Drax is the best character in this movie. So many awesome lines. And the end during Yondu's funeral chokes me up every single time.

[@LordCommander-ui2fw]

[@EsotericRage]

Great reaction. Love taking this MCU journey with you. Keep up the great work

[@patrickb1439]

I've seen this movie EASILY 10 times, have watched tons of reactions to it- omfg, I NEVER realized the parallel between the monster at the beginning and the end of the movie!

[@ThePharaz]

I believe Adam is Adam Warlock and he is a very powerful person. > If you go to Amazon and just enter Groot you will find plush dolls, socks, cups, a dancing planter Groot, Lego Groot, and more.

[@spidersj12]

Best line of the movie... "I'm Mary Poppin's Y'all!"

[@derdork3233]

I saw this movie in the cinema and cried at yondus funeral. So touching PLUS the beautiful song 'father and son' by cat stevens. Guardians movies have the best soundtrack of all the marvel movies. Be sure to check out the music video by zardu hasselfrau.

[@JJ_W]

The music from Guardians has been so popular. I'm old enough to remember when many of these songs were first released, and it's been great to see a new generation enjoy them. I was especially fond of the one-hit-wonder "Brandy" from 1972, so it was a nice surprise in 2017 to find it featured in this movie, leading to a second life for the song.

[@mugziet8841]

That final "THATS WHAT SHE SAID!" I died 💀🤣🤣😭 18:28

[@rtruth7002]

🤣🤣🤣

[@JesseShadows37]

Writer / Director James Gunn thinks that credits both opening and closing should be appreciated because a lot of people work on these movies to make them great so he always make them fun so you can go back and watch them over and over again. That’s also why there’s so many post credit scene too

[@Reblwitoutacause]

"That's what she said" I'm dead 💀

[@jamesmif]

If you're hearing birds barking you definitely need sleep Addie! (Love your reactions!)

[@jarsky]

09:00 His "sparkly friend" is Michael Rosenbaum...aka Lex Luthor from Smallville 😊

[@trevorthomas4172]

Chris lost his real father just before filming this. That’s why it’s so emotional when Yando dies and he says no

[@muhammadnazrin3390]

My favorite scene in this movie has always been the Drax and Mantis scene by the fountain, sad it doesn't really get much love.

[@inarar5334]

I'm not sure people 100% get what happens there. Like, Drax is sitting there completely stone faced, and when Mantis touches him, she's almost overwhelmed by his grief. And he still sits there stone faced as she reflects what he's actually feeling inside.

[@muhammadnazrin3390]

@@inarar5334 Yeah that's the beauty of it, Drax has always been a punch line with him being so literal of everything. His also a typical depiction of masculinity with how blunt and aggressive he is, and how he always manifested the lost of his family with anger up to this point. That is until Mantis was able to act as a reflection for his true feelings under all that machismo. Not only that, the pain that he felt for the lost of his family was the catalyst for why Mantis wanted to confess Ego's crimes to him, because she now understood those should be the feelings held by a parent who lost their child. The pain that Ego never felt as he massacred his own children, the only pain(the one that supposedly keeps him up at night) that he felt was being unable to accomplish his dream, because his children were "failures".

[@RoxxSerm]

The "that's what she said - chain" really got me at the second and third one xD

[@bigbaddoggie8794]

4:07 Well if so Maybe You Should Do A Reaction video of all the Disney+ I Am Groot Shorts.

[@FortressofSolitude1138]

@ 9:01 that sparkly guy you wanted to know more about is Martinex, he's actually one of the founding members of the original Guardians of the Galaxy in the comics.

[@comcastblows567]

I just woke up to check KZbin and I’m already so excited that Saturday is gonna be a good day lol

[@pigs18]

Regarding the mid credit scene with Stallone. That's the lineup for the first Guardians of the Galaxy comic. The scene is just a bit of fan service for the older comic fans. (Miley Cyrus provides the voice of the robot head.)

[@pleutron]

omg the opening to this... bird barking, dog chirping... whew!!! We all have brain farts Addie. But you kept yours on video for all to see over and over and over and over again 😂

[@kingbrutusxxvi]

If they ever made a film starring Baby Groot and Baby Yoda literally everyone in the theater would pass out from cuteness overload. ;-)

[@marksullivan7766]

25:40 "I'm Mary Poppins ya'll" still kills me 🤣🤣🤣

[@coltchan7380]

I got my mom to watch this back in May. When we got to the final fight she asked, “why are they fighting his dad?”

[@ven_skywalker7007]

Addie: “I just want a 2 hour movie with baby Groot” *stares in baby Groot mini-series*

[@hotpipe2113]

Kurt Russell is great, glad he was in this film. Great reaction!!!!! 😁❤

[@Rhodair]

FYI Disney+ has a bunch of Baby Groot shorts that are worth the watch

[@Z3RO672]

Cracked me up first 2 minutes, love you and your content Addie!

[@DanielRodriguez-eh1qd]

Her hair and makeup is always on point.

[@erikbjelke4411]

What really hits me about this movie is that Ego had what he wanted. He admits that he LOVED Meredith Quill, and that he knew if he went back to visit her again, he'd never leave. He'd found what he'd been looking for his whole existence: connection and love. But his Ego was so overblown he couldn't recognize it. And even if his plan had worked, he'd still be alone, just with hordes of himself around. He still wouldn't really find that connection and belonging he wanted.

[@mercurywoodrose]

"ADAM" most definitely comes into play. and HIS story, the story of HIM, is super tragic, and mind bending. not on screen yet, it may appear in GOTG vol 3. they cast the part already, a great actor.

[@RegularJStudios]

I don't care what people think. This was just as good as the first movie. Also R.I.P to Stan the man...

[@rickygforce4217]

After the 3rd one just came out, this just became a very solid trilogy

[@ConspireOfficial]

honestly this movie has aged really well

[@williameleno]

Addie: "I could watch two hours of baby Groot" Marvel: Even better, he gets a mini show.

[@SilentBob731]

Awesome reaction to another brilliant Marvel movie. And yes, the Groot dance in the opening is the actual happiest scene in cinematic history. 😄😆😂

[@JiriTrubac]

I'm so happy you're reacting to all the Marvel films, Addie. Great to watch them with you! Thank you!

[@jewelrana9910]

I like the fact that Everytime rocket trying to make groot understand about fin groot bring body parts. (Sorry if my sentence is wrong)

[@WyattoonsComics]

Idk why I’m just now putting this together but Quill got his first music player from his mom, and now he has a new one from his dad. So his music keeps that parental connection.

[@PROVOCATEURSK]

I wish everyone had a friend like Addie.

[@rhinosdemise]

I'm really looking forward to your reaction for guardians of the galaxy vol 3 now!

[@Timbuktu407]

“I am Groot.” “He did call you Twig.” 😂

[@RustamM777]

I've been waiting for you to watch the second part for a very long time😌 I love your videos, you're amazing☺️♥️

[@PixelatedH2O]

As a supplement to the movie I highly suggest the "Guardians' Inferno" music video. It was part of the Blu-ray extras with the movie, though it's on KZbin as well and it's hilarious. It's a must-see at least once.

[@vinnycordeiro]

Yes, it is Howard the Duck. I still hope they'll feature him in a movie as a regular character and not as just a cameo.

[@lightyagami1752]

There was a Howard the Duck movie by George Lucas decades ago. It's pretty bad though lol.

[@Sir_AlexxTv]

The best Marvel movies for me, the irony, the serious parts, and the sad ones are mixed together to perfection.

[@charger70s]

This continues the team's adventures as they unravel the mystery of Star-Lord's parentage.

[@HelloThere.GeneralKenobi]

You are going to LOVE all of the "I Am Groot" short little stories on Disney+ Others have done reaction videos for those and I truly hope you do as well!! Of course you were going to enjoy the Mary Poppins scene! Take care, Addie!!

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

I was looking through the comments to see if anyone had brought up the ‘I Am Groot’ short stories on Disney+. I’d like to see her react to those, cause she’s gonna love them.

Personally I enjoyed Vol. 2 more immensely than Vol. 1.

9:00 The sparkly guy is Michael Rosenbaum AKA Lex Luthor from Smallville Addie.

[@ericwatson54]

I tried to read the collected works of "Guardians Of The Galaxy". I couldn't get past the first few pages. The first villian was called Taserface. It's like the writers weren't even trying to come up with a good name.

[@Cobalt-Jester]

Drax and Mantis are one of the funniest duos in a movie for a long time. I honestly thought they'd fall in love in 3 as their stories over lapped and they had a lot of time with just the 2 of them. Maybe in 4.

[@jonathanassis1540]

the last team with stalone that appears in the credits is actually the original lineup of the guardians of the galaxy, the first line up that appears in the comics, before this that we know with peter, groot , rocket ,gamora and drax.

"Hey wait, where ya going? I've got so many more stories to tell!" - And I would love to listen to every story you have Stan.

I am so excited for the next Marvel movie you’ll be checking out real soon! 18:15 to 18:30 had me laughing so hard! Lol, also, I wonder if the birds continued to chirp after this reaction. Heh

[@joerenzi2373]

I'm Mary Poppins, y'all!!! - Best line ever

[@chelliebean5773]

I don't understand why people aren't fond of Peter's character. It was him that ultimately brought them together, all the things that made him human and came from earth, that ended up uniting them and building friendships. They never would have done that on their own. There are so many ways he has influenced them, at the beginning when Rocket said he did the music because Peter loves "Tunes", but he also did it because he came to enjoy them too. That's Peter's influence and how his Mother played a part in that, how he even impacted Yondu.

[@johnniequinn3215]

After this reaction. I'd say it's pretty safe to watch the "I am Groot" shorts as well.

[@carladams5891]

Addie "His poor nipples!" Me choking on soda! 🤣🤣🤣

[@kieronball8962]

Addie, you are SO fortunate to be experiencing the best of the MCU for the first time and the very best is yet to come. By the way, perhaps after the MCU movies, you should watch more Kurt Russell movies, as he has appeared in some of the best Hollywood has to offer.

[@tiago9977]

Mantis is surprisingly powerful tbh. Can't wait for Addie to watch the Guardians Holiday Special.

[@KarlXByrne]

5 mini episodes of "I am (baby) Groot" were recently released.

[@mugziet8841]

LMAO I did hear a bird "barking", but I paused the video and it bird outside on my end lol. Love it tho, funny 😅

[@azm0dan1]

31:45 - this was a joke at comicon: what if Stan Lee is the same guy, only taking different roles across the MCU. James Gunn (the Director) heard that and made it happen: Stan Lee is actually an agent for the watchers.

[@Tacomaguy458]

I've watched this probably 10 times and never noticed a filming error until this reaction. When Yondu was incinerated at the end, he was wearing the fin on his head and in the end credit scene, Kraglin was wearing it and playing with the arrow. The arrow was split in two before Peter gave it to him so it couldn't have been before he was incinerated.

[@Caseytify]

Disney+ (I think) did a miniseries named I Am Groot, featuring our favorite tree. It's comprised of five short cartoons of Groot in action.

[@KorAsek453]

Yondu sacrificing himself just destroys me every time T_T
