Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Pitch Meeting

Step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3!
Subscribe for more Pitch Meetings: / @pitchmeetings
It’s been nearly a decade since James Gunn brought the Guardians of the Galaxy into the MCU, and arguably changed the direction of the entire cinematic universe. The success of that first movie opened the door for Marvel to explore lesser-known comic book characters and also seemingly gave them the green light to go all-in on comedy beats (for better or for worse.)
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 definitely raises some questions. Like what's Adam Warlock actually doing in this movie? How did they make High Evolutionary so despicable so quickly? Are kids gonna be okay after all that intense animal stuff? Why didn't Star-Lord have his helmet and boots?
To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3!!

It was incredibly refreshing to have no unnecessary romance in this movie. I would've set the theater on fire, if Peter and Gamora kissed, I swear. It was just perfect - platonic family-like relationships all around. Round of applause for the writers

[@SitharaRoy]

The fact that they didn't force a relationship and gave Peter the opportunity to move on (or at least start to) is definitely refreshing. I was very annoyed when the opposite happened with Cap. He was also starting to accept Peggy's death and move on and I felt that whatever happened in Endgame was a devolution of his character.

No romance between Rocket and Lylla was also cool. I had a feeling the movie was going in that direction but they remained just friends. Nothing wrong with some romance but these movies don't build it up enough for it to feel organic, so this was refreshing.

I’m surprised there was no mention of the Guardians Holiday Special that no one saw which revealed some of the things that this movie just assumed the audience knew about already (Mantis and Quill being siblings; the dog’s being part of the team and having telekinesis; the Guardians buying Knowhere). Admittedly, one of the biggest flaws about this movie (which I loved) is that it assumed the audience remembered all of the previous plot threads (Gamora being a past version of the version in previous movies; Quill having celestial DNA and thus being able to survive his…death in space; Adam being revealed in a postcredit scene; the dog; what the heck Knowhere is and how it came to be the Guardians’ HQ; those tentacle beasts Mantis befriends; etc). And is there actually a mini series about Groot? XD

thank you! I figured Quill and Mantis must be siblings because she'd been created by his Dad too, but it took a sec when they said it in the film as I hadn't thought about it before; I'd forgotten that he was a semi-celestial being which would explain surviving space; knowhere seemed familiar though I couldn't remember from where.

Thank you for pointing out that Star-Lord just not having his jet boots or helmet for the entire movie was so random lol. I was so angry when THAT was how he almost died

[@SeventeenGhost]

Maybe not the jetboots, but his helmet was destroyed during Vol2. I mean it's central to Yondu's sacrifice. The Russos brought the helmet back for IW with no explanation (other than cool factor, I'ld say). True, having him not get a new one from wherever seems kind of odd, he literally almost died because he didn't have, and his daddy Mary Poppins sacrificed himself to save him. But then again, why does no one else have one, then? It's similar to the Iron Man argument: If he could make so many suits, and even let Rhodey keep one and built Spiderman a whole nanotech suit, why didn't he make suits for AT LEAST his non-superpowered friends and allies? Because it would lower every stake possible, simply put.

Huge props to the VFX team behind Rocket. Every aspect of him was spot on. The way he looks older, and acts it. When he walks at the start, he walks like a 37 year old man who's knees ache and joints popped when he stood up. He moves slower than he ever has before, he's not the frenetic bundle of energy he was before. And that realism was reinforced by the lifelike CGI work, I would believe you if you told me they genetically modified a raccoon and he was actually a real thing on set, not a CGI creation. That really helped sell his traumatic history, made it hit even harder. Incredible work. Apparantly James Gunn doesn't really do reshoots and pick ups, and he storyboards everything, so the VFX team know day 1 everything they have to make. They don't have to crunch to get stuff done on a deadline, and it shows. Best VFX and design in Marvel is in the Guardians movies, and I will die on that hill.

It's been a while since a Marvel movie made me feel emotions other than humour. I knew Rocket's comic backstory, and I played the Guardians game so I know the traumatic version that used. So I was expecting it to be rough. I think it's partly how insanely good the CGI of Rocket is, he actually looks real. And Bradley Cooper sold the hell out of his voice performance. As did Linda Cardellini as Lylla. I cried three times. Rocket's first words. Lylla, Floor and Teefs deaths. And the conversation where they gave themselves names - I missed part of the next scene because I was collecting myself. It wasn't the sexy Single Man Tear, they broke me. Do you remember when we thought Guardians would be the fun campy space adventure series when it was first announced? And then the first opened with a traumatic death from cancer, the second ended with Yondu's funeral, and then almost every Rocket scene in the third.

[@coco604]

First of all, I love the “sexy single man tear” term. Secondly, I’m the type of person to cry at a video of a flea ridden rescued kitten being washed, so I fear the Rocket scenes in GOTG3 may completely destroy my soul. This will probably not be helped by the fact that baby Rocket looks quite similar to my cats when they were younger, and I would KILL AND DIE for those fluffballs so even the thought of someone hurting them makes me sad.

However, I also found the plot a bit meandering at times, and the villain underwhelming. It had lots of positive aspects, and I loved the way it tackled the grief surrounding T'challa.
