When the 1st Guardians Of The Galaxy film came out I had little expectations when I went to see it since they were the Marvel characters I knew the least about prior to seeing them on the big screen. I ended up loving the 1st film, the 2nd film, & the 3rd film so much that to me it's the overall best/most consistent movie trilogy Marvel has made. I'd say my only complaint with this film is (similar with Darren Cross becoming M.O.D.O.K. then trying to redeem himself) Adam Warlock's development/redemption felt rushed; he was set up as this big threat, then he was comic relief, then confused about what he wanted after his mom died, & then he saves Star Lord & joined the Guardians at the end.

When Groot says “I love you guys” its not actually him speaking those words. We’re just finally a part of the family so we can understand what he’s saying. Love this series. For those wondering, James Gunn himself said this.

yes, it was hinted when gamora finally understood Groot at the end, so it was the same for us, we finally understand what Groot is saying, just at the end of the trilogy ;)

It makes a lot of sense why the camera zoomed out when he said it cause he probably was still sayin “I am groot”. Damn, im gonna miss them and James Gunn .

Totally nailed it too, easily one of the best superhero name drops ever, Gunn is GOATed for the guardians trilogy, I kinda wish he could just makes gotg movies forever lol, such a lovable team and easily some of the most fun movies in the MCU and by far the movies with the most heart and emotion. This was truly the perfect send off for this guardians team we all love so much and for James Gunn in the MCU. Couldn’t have asked for a better more satisfying trilogy ender, they really knocked it out of the park with this movie. I now very much look forward to James Gunn’s DCU, hopefully we finally get the great DC universe on screen that so many of their iconic characters deserve and that the fans have been asking for forever. MCU having some real competition would be good too, if the DCU is good like I bet it will be it’ll force the MCU to step up their game so DC doesn’t surpass them in quality and that’s a win win for us fans. Anyway my comment is a lot of rambling but in short it sucks losing this guardians team for good but it was a great send off for the characters and James Gunn in the MCU. Now for us fans of both marvel and DC James Gunn being DC studios CEO is a massive W for us fans and I can’t wait for creature commandos next year and then Gunn’s Superman legacy in 2025 which is the start of the DCU on the big screen , Gunn is gonna nail that movie im totally convinced.

I love that they didn't do the predictable thing of having Gamora love Quill by the end of this movie. Cause we saw how hard it was for Quill to get her to like him. And she also was told all this knowledge about what happened in Infinity War which makes her different. It makes way more sense that by the end of this movie she's pry thinking "I dont love you, but I can see why a different version of me did."

[@schroederguy]

Yeah I agree, I am very glad they didn't go with that cop out, I would even go as far as saying that I would consider it lazy writing if they did go that direction so I'm glad that they didn't.

I think a large part of Adam's 'stupidity' is largely due to the fact that he's basically a child. Both from a chronological stand point, and like what Ayesha said, he was taken out of his pod early. There was probably a large part of development that the high evolutionary decided to skip during Adam's gestation process, likely where a lot of the inherent mental maturity would have occurred prior to his 'birth'. That remaining time likely would have been spent developing his mind or brain to match his physical age. So, he's basically an over grown child due to the high evolutionary's hastiness.

So something I had pointed out to me. During Rocket's escape from his cage and the High Evolutionary, we see Floor crying out "Rocket Teefs Floor go now!" over and over again. She's a rabbit. She's got her flight instincts programmed in to run away. It's part of rabbit psychology. But she stuck around for her friends, wanting them to come with. Also notice that Teefs literally can only blink when his cybernetics allow him to. His eyes are forced open.

[@KillingMachine56656]

[@polina_pr]

i actually really loved what they did with "new" Gamora's story. her staying with peope who she already loved made way more sense that if she magically switched to her new friend group, even though she clearly warmed up to the guardians by the end. and when it comes to Quill, i'm sure that it'd be almost impossible to naturally fall in love with someone who already knows everything about you (but not really you), has his expectations and history with you.

[@bubs200]

James Gunn is an incredible filmmaker. He knows how to make an audience laugh, cry, and feel every blow in a fight scene. I recommend his film "Super." It's not a regular superhero film, but it has one of my favorite character stories of all time

[@cyclopath]

🎵Let your body decide where you want to go🎵

[@richardgoddard37]

It's one of my favourite "Superhero" movies, and the one that got him the GotG job in the first place. Have tissues ready though.

[@nintenmetro]

Lylla was portrayed by Linda Cardellini. She previously portrayed Hawkeye’s wife Laura. Nebula’s arm cannon reminds me of the upgraded Sentinels from X-Men: Days of Future Past. Ura was portrayed by Daniela Melchior. She was also Cleo Cazo/Ratcatcher in James Gunn’s Suicide Squad. Nathan Fillion was also Cory Pitzner/The Detachable Kid in that same film. At least Peter admitted to screwing up in Infinity War. I also thought I recognized the actor portraying Theel. Nico Santos portrayed Mateo Liwanag in Superstore. My favorite funny moment was Mantis’ powers in Orgocorp. Chukwudi Iwuji has said in several interviews that he doesn’t want us to empathize with the High Evolutionary. He genuinely wants us to hate him. I certainly do. It’s interesting because this is the first villain in a long time that we don’t have to empathize with. In the recent years, that has become the norm throughout most superhero films. My favorite fight scenes were Star-Lord and Groot gunslinging and then of course the Guardians fighting together one last time with No Sleep Till Brooklyn playing in the background. James Gunn confirmed that the High Evolutionary is still alive. They took him into custody on Knowhere. It’s all in a deleted scene. Gamora understandably wasn’t at her best in this film. I liked her the most in Volume 2 because she developed a motherly instinct towards Groot and reconciled with Nebula. At least Peter got to properly say goodbye to Gamora and gain some sense of closure. For me, Groot and Nebula were the highlights of this film. I never thought Nebula would have so much emotion, but I feel like in part it’s because she hung out a lot with Rocket during the blip since he was the only other active Guardian to survive. She even called him a friend right before entering the Orgoscope. As for Groot, he’s become much more reliable. He really surprised me with the ammo and the wings. It’s so cool that he could fly now, or at least glide. He also made me almost cry when he saw Peter freezing to death. The dude really is the heart of the squad. Drax also got some development. He only ever danced because that’s how he met his wife. After he lost her and their daughter, he refused to dance again. Now that he’s found fatherhood again, he can wave his hands in the air and not care about embarrassment. And finally, Come And Get Your Love by Redbone helps bring the Guardians’ journey full circle. Regarding the future of the Guardians, even though the whole team survived which is good news, the sad news is that this movie is still the last time we’ll see some of them. Dave Bautista said that he would like to move on to do some more dramatic roles. I also understand that having to sit still during makeup can be a hassle. Zoe Saldaña has also said this would be her last time portraying Gamora but would like to see her portrayed by someone else in the future. Personally I don’t see anyone else fit for the role. If we’re fortunate, maybe we’ll see her again for The Kang Dynasty and/or Secret Wars. Either way, Zoe is grateful for all the positive feedback on her portrayal especially from the female fan base. Karen Gillan did express interest in portraying Nebula again. I would personally hope so, because we’ve seen an immense amount of character development from her - especially with Volume 2, Endgame, and this film.

[@nwyk153]

Well said! Nebula grown on me since Guardians 2. She just want a sister. I liked her even more in Endgame. Not sure i liked what Gunn did to Gamora's character, but at least Quill got closure in the end. I hoped they do the 4th installment, but in my heart they should just stop here. The ending is perfect.

[@carlgibson285]

Peter didn't screw up in Infinity War though. If he hadn't lost it when he did and the heroes had managed to get the gauntlet off of Thanos, Thanos would've won and half the universe would've been gone forever. Peter had to lose it in that moment for the one win out of 14 million to happen.

[@IamNinjaOfNinja]

Now imagine High evolutionary had a tragic story as well, came from us, tortured by abusive parents. Now then you would empathize with him. So it's all about writting. And they wrote it all for Rocket origin.

I love Nebula more and more in each movie we saw her. She has grown a lot from a cold, distant, scared but wanting Thanos to loves her, to someone who have a family from her own choice and they'd die for her.

He's like a nice boy in grown man body and he loves his pet!

[@KevyNova]

This movie brings me back to the first volume where Rocket mocks Drax for mourning his wife and daughter. When Rocket says “EVERYBODY’S got dead people!” hits much harder now knowing the family that he lost.

[@djdoc06]

This movie is about surviving abusive parents. The treatment of rocket and his friends hits particularly hard, because they’re 100% emotional proxies for children. Like children who have never experienced anything, dreaming of a better life, with an emotionally and physically abusive foster father. Rocket and his friends act like 8 year olds in their naïveté and it’s gut wrenching to see them treated as they are. Drax was always meant to be a great dad… and he was lost and made dumb through the first two movies because his family was killed and he could no longer be a father. But he’s been dad jokes and clueless all along. Can’t talk about most of their child-parent issues without spoiling, but want to mention baby Groot, and literally watching him grow from child to adult over 3 movies, with a wonderful found family. And this movie explains Rocket’s love for prosthetics. Lyla’s arms, Teefs and Floor’s multiple prosthetics… he sees beauty in them and connection to his first friends.

[@py16667]

Jeez, I wonder how you’d react to dairy & meat industry footage, bc that shit turned me vegan immediately

[@grajo1200]

I watched this movie three times in the theater, loved it. The part that was subtle but sad for me was when Gamora finally understood Groot, and Groot's reaction to it. When he was baby groot, she was basically his mother.

[@Misaelpioneer1]

Nikki went through exactly what I did. That movie had me a mess 😂 didn’t expect to feel all of that. James Gunn went out perfectly and the guardians movies will forever be loved and missed

[@muhammedirfans4412]

And thats how you give a perfect ending to a great trilogy ✨

[@MichaelMcMullan]

One bit some folks miss near the end is that the High Evolutionary makes a big deal of having “turned some portion of [his] genius” towards himself and mastering gravity (the power he uses throughout the movie)… but Rocket used gravity traps in the second movie, and is testing out his gravity boots (that the Guardians use on the Orgoscope) early in the film. So when he is pinned to the ceiling by the HE he just reaches down and flips on his boots to cancel out the High Evolutionary’s power. He was better than the High Evolutionary, again.

[@maximillianosaben]

Oh boy, this movie had me crying my eyes out a few times. P.S. They filmed the Holiday Special in between making Volume 3, which James Gunn said was a nice release to step away from the heaviness of this movie.

[@gabrieltrevino942]

Nebula reacting to hearing Rocket is alive was everything bcuz of how close they grew during the 5 year snap. Also, I get choked up every time Nebula tells Drax he was always meant to be a dad.

[@Patrick-jd1ku]

At the very end, I thought that the 'star lord will return' screen would say something like 'Star Lord Will Return After He Mows The Lawn'. The "You weren't born to be a destroyer. You were born to be a dad." is what finally turned on the waterworks the first time I saw it. I mean, i'd been tearing up a little bit here and there, but that line...god damn.

[@alx_stafford8928]

Lylla the Otter was also voiced by the actress that plays Hawkeyes wife!

[@larahedge8960]

OMG I can already tell this one is going to be a tough one for Nikki. Same girl, same.

[@LauraCourtneyette]

It’s like Nikki voiced Cosmo’s reaction at 3:34 - had to rewatch it a couple of times 🤣😂

[@EggBoi_8]

This movie is just amazing and just perfect in so so many ways. The ending wraps up so many beautiful story’s and leaves you seeing exactly where you hoped all the of their journeys would take them.

[@3lastname390]

26:45 The way you describe Adam, is exactly how the Drax in the comic was for a long time

[@JeshuaSquirrel]

I love that Rocket gets a "I'm not gonna kill ya, but I don't have to save you either," moment.

[@Sharpester]

This movie works because it's not forced. Every character is clearly defined and stick with that personality, and that's why it feels natural to the viewers.

[@swamprabbit66]

The perfect capstone to the Infinity Stone chapter of the MCU. Absolute banger from start to finish!!

[@velvet_thunder1835]

"This movie has been fantastic" "I agree, i will not be showing this to the children" 😂😂😂

[@UnholyKat]

This Gamora isn't terrible. She barely knows the Guardians and constantly being told by Peter, she should be like someone else because it's what he wants...is awful

[@debbiethompson3460]

I loved this movie. I hadn't cried as much as I did watching this in such a long time. I believe James Gunn explained why we could suddenly understand Groot, it's because we had become their family, and that's why none of the Guardians reacted to his words, that's what they always hear. But, I will admit, I was sobbing when Lylla was shot and Rocket let out that scream...it broke my heart. And, because of his friends, it made so much sense why he was always trying to collect prosthetics.

[@marciahuehn2365]

All characters are awesome in their own way, memorable, evolving, admirable, and overcoming of the tragedies of their lives. What more can we expect? Love them all! 😁❤️

[@kepler1377]

Have not watched the video yet but wanted to say you two are probably my favorite react KZbin channel. Such good input but nothing is overdone or overplayed, I can tell you are both being yourselves and you seem like people I’d love to be friends with irl. Keep it up :)

[@jeniasmackay7931]

You remind me of my mother Nikki, when it comes to emotional scenes. My mom would cry just like you. I always enjoyed watching my moms reaction to emotional movies

[@janicechavez6269]

I have seen this reaction so many times and I love it every time!! I laugh and cry with you every time too. Keep up these reactions 💜😁

[@josephsanchez2481]

Nebula was so happy and touched Rocket made it become they spent five years together during the blimp. Creating a bond

[@xongaming4456]

All this time, the guardians have been always hearing Groot speaks but those who lack connection with Groot can only hear "I am Groot". Towards the end of the movie, we heard Groot speaks because the movie implied that we finally connected with Groot.

[@Jaythyst]

Love yall movie reactions, this movie is the best marvel movie so far in my opinion since Infinity War and Endgame.

[@thedarkknight2221]

GOTG Vol 1 was my mom’s favorite comic book movie ever, sadly she passed away from cancer complications in 2015 at just 65 years old. What hooked her to the movie at first was the soundtrack of many of the songs she grew up on, but then she loved it so much that she became a fan of the MCU. It’s why this franchise has a very special place in my heart. So when Dog Days Are Over (ANOTHER favorite of mine and my mom’s) was playing and the Guardians were celebrating/moving on with their lives, I was a wreck. Not out of pain of loss, but of remembering the good times I had with my mom. As for the movie itself, it’s one of my top 10 favorite comic book movies ever, as well as an all time favorite. With a supervillain I have never wanted to kill more than The High Evolutionary. And I love that the song that was played to send off the Guardians Of The Galaxy was the first song we as the audience heard when we saw Peter in the opening titles of Vol 1. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go listen to Come And Get Your Love by Redbone!

[@tommygun2648]

This is my first time watching you react to something, and I intend to watch more of your vids in the near future. The going from crying your eyes out to laughing is very normal. When things become emotionally intense upsetting you continuously over a period of days, like when a member of the immediate family dies, there comes a moment when the silliest little thing will become side-splitting hilarious to the surviving family who have been steeped in grief for days. Laughter is like an outlet when the pressure sadness becomes too much to bear. I think that formula of deep sadness broken up by humor is what makes this movie so emotionally satisfying. It's on a totally different level than a real life tragedy, but the same basic formula is there.

[@cbobwhite5768]

Nikki, a few days ago, my dog ate all the letters from my Scrabble game. I took him to the vet. Been 2 days so I called the vet ....... no word yet.

[@edit0817]

I have to protect Adam because he's not stupid, he's just a kid mentally at this point. :) That's why he behaves like an incompetent person. Thank you for your reaction to this movie, I loved it.

[@reconsoldier135]

I can’t imagine how soul crushing it would be to lose the love of your life only for an almost identical person to show up and you have to interact with that person. The heartache would be excruciating

[@AlfredWilliams-od7db]

One of my favorite scenes were When Groot And Quill were shooting those so many Guns Groot was so dope in That Scene omg That was so Sick

[@kevin982]

I could not believe how hard I cried during the Rocket death scene either. One suggestion, always have tissues near by. They come in handy and you can keep your shirt from getting wet.

[@claytonkeever2992]

Adam Warlock isn't dumb, just a child.

[@WolfFX13]

Two things really got me. the first came from Nebula, they used a funny scene where Pete commented on her eyes to remind us of the torture that Thanos put her through, and later when she sees what Rocket went through she comments "This is worse than what Thanos did to me". The second came as a realization after the film, in the previous movies we saw that Rocket had an obsession with collecting prosthetic limbs, and now after meeting his first 'Family' we understand why...

[@IcedEarth426]

Listening to James Gunn's director's commentary, where he talks about the dancing scene at the end of the movie. He played the motion stand-in for Groot and his brother Sean plays the motion stand-in for Rocket. So he got to dance with his brother, just like when they were kids, while getting their chance to live their dream of creating a massive movie. It was really quite moving to listen to.

[@AlfredWilliams-od7db]

Gun tortured us in this, But gave The Best ending to This family, The one They all deserved. The Guardians of the Galaxy deserved This happy ending. I love That

[@AvEnGeD7X238]

Damn. This had me cry more than I did in theaters. Such a raw reaction. Love ya guys.❤

[@chasingembers6167]

50 years old and I cried all throughout this one. Best of the series!❤

[@Prince_humperdink]

The way that you guys are makes me so happy. I’ve been watching your channel for a few months now and I can’t express to you how much I appreciate these videos and how much I am on the same vibe with you guys. It means a lot to me so thank you ❤️

[@jessetorres8738]

When the 1st Guardians Of The Galaxy film came out I had little expectations when I went to see it since they were the Marvel characters I knew the least about prior to seeing them on the big screen. I ended up loving the 1st film, the 2nd film, & the 3rd film so much that to me it's the overall best/most consistent movie trilogy Marvel has made. I'd say my only complaint with this film is (similar with Darren Cross becoming M.O.D.O.K. then trying to redeem himself) Adam Warlock's development/redemption felt rushed; he was set up as this big threat, then he was comic relief, then confused about what he wanted after his mom died, & then he saves Star Lord & joined the Guardians at the end.

[@itzelwisteria1819]

I almost don't agree with this, because I believe even though he didn't have as much scenes as needed for his storyline to flourish, his characterization in said scenes was enough to make his actions in the end make sense. Personally, I wish he had been given a movie of his own but I'm looking forward to how they develop him as a character, he has a lot of potential and the vampiric soul stone is such an interesting concept that I wonder if they'll explore.

[@craiggarrett26]

Great reaction as always guys. I think overall Guardians 3 is now my favourite MCU movie. I saw Endgame on opening night at a midnight premier, people were dressed up and it was an epic experience and end to the story. But this movie trumped it for me.

[@dwarfchron801]

Yesss! Ive been waiting for you to post this, I wasn't able to watch live with you guys. Perfect timing! I love this movie so much!

[@stephmgreen]

I can totally relate to crying at a film and having my partner just repeatedly asking if I was okay. It’s okay to be okay and cry and not be okay and cry. But policing it every time as if it’s demonizing to cry, can get a little grating. Just for myself but also as a viewer.. I think the better move is to comfort them physically and just allow it to happen. Everyone needs catharsis.

[@rameee2589]

The themes of the first and second one hit me, but THIS one left me emotionally exhausted after watching it. Rocket is my favorite guardian so I have a bias, but this might be the best guardian movie.

[@MrGlenbw]

Usually, fans come to watch GOTG movies just to laugh along with our heroes' hilarious antics and witty dialogue but this one is DIFFERENT: not a single person laughed, maybe a slight chuckle but nothing more, in my theater. Maybe most of them sombered quietly because of its heartbreaking theme and message, and for a change, it's A GOOD THING. 😢

[@merchillio]

Thank you for this beautifully emotional reaction. I needed that valve today. And Steven asking “are you ok” all through the movie was so kind

[@NikkiStevenReact]

thank you for checking it out... movie was awesome but very sad

[@PriceFamPrime]

The alien that is made to fall in love with Drax is played by Benjamin Byron Davis, best known for playing Dutch van der Linde in Red Dead Redemption 2.

[@rock310x]

this is such a great movie!

[@MS-vk9ph]

I am excited for gunn's superman and how he redirects the ship at DC. If he structures things in the correct way, then it could be great. he understands these characters and their relationships.

[@MsYourMa]

I've loved ya'lls channel for a while and watched how you both act through dozens upon dozens of reactions. The way Steven consistently checks on Nikki to see if she's okay is so touching. You both have such an amazing relationship. It honestly makes me happy and hope for something like it. Thank you both.
