This guy was absolutely menacing in the actual movie. I fucking thank Mr. Iwuji for his wonderful performance as The High Evolutionary. This guy was... Insane, outright cruel, had no regards for anyone whatsoever to 'make the perfect society' as quoted in the movie.

[@lupinvash3]

He was a cruel fuck because of what he did. Such a villain.

[@tobios89p13]

Yeah he just scrapped a whole planet of living beings and families because mario told him that counter-earth wasn't perfect. It was really strange just how fast quill accidentally convinced him to start all over again with makin a society.

[@liarman7069]

@@tobios89p13 He scrapped it because he think he got rocket. He cannot start new one till he got rocket brain, when his pig soldier inform him rocket in pig possesion he then take off and goes boom boom.

I've never heard of Chukwudi Iwuji but he is a GREAT actor. I made a Rotten Tomatoes account JUST to write a review for Guardians 3 because he is SUCH a good villain. So many villains are either sympathetic/misguided or just caetoonishly evil, but this guy is scary because there ARE people that are cruel towards animals but his range of emotions and his voice and everything is FASCINATING. It also made me realize how great James Gunn is and got me to watch Peacemaker for the first time as well!😁

[@halfmettlealchemist8076]

“The bile I feel in the back of my throat when I look at you is all the motivation I need” has gotta be one of the rawest villain lines I’ve ever heard, I cannot wait to see this guy tear shit up in the new movie

replayed it just for thissss it's magical , can not fathom hearing this in imax HQ

[@extremepower5765]

After the movie released, High Evolutionary's theme is definitely better than Thanos' one.

[@redrocksvlogs]

The theme is very cosmic and sinister. The way Chukwudi speaks and acts as the character High Evolutionary instead of himself in the panel, it's a perfect casting ngl.

Without the actual villain , stakes or coherent storyline with leads that are engaged. Thor was a clown show, Dr Strange was also unfocused. What's the villain without a true lead opposing him?

[@brockelkins7118]

GOTG Vol 3 is the best Guardians movie to date in my opinion.

[@chefjames3361]

Funny yet terrifying. Are we returning to vintage delicious Marvel?

[@vsedits2336]

I think so

[@SuperOmnicronsj44]

As long as Maria Alonso is there - NO. Just empty, and lifeless with lead stars being sidetracked by weak unknown actors and agenda forced directors.

[@windycityblackhawks]

I feel like what remains of the first 3 phases will still end up being the better of the phase 4-6 movies. Lots of the characters created during the woke era of Marvel comics will just be ok. Hope I’m wrong tho. Phase 4 was a bit underwhelming for me, I understand that they are setting up storylines and what not but it was forgettable besides the Spider-Man’s and Doctor Strange movies. The shows were pretty good but overall just left me wanting more from phase 4. Can’t wait to see what surprising movies come out of Phase 6 besides X-Men.

I will say this, Marvel knows how to put on a show. Props to dude for showing up in character to promote the movie. ✌🏾✌🏾

[@SuperOmnicronsj44]

Yes, but phases 1-3 when Downy showed up to Luther Vandross will likely never be matched. Phase 4 is so overwhelmingly empty. No momentum or anticipation for Avengers ... they need the Russo Bros back in the worst way.

[@DoomVonVictor]

@@SuperOmnicronsj44 no they don't, nobody was rushing to watch the grey man they are decent film makers but the talent at marvel had alot to do with bringing that to life you're confused, so just dont watch it or complain anymore, you don't like it great. 👍 they don't care about your one set of eyes or your money. You're one person we're a populace and we love marvel, our opinion is it's nice to see them doing something DIFFERENT. You don't have to be on board with it, that's your opinion yet a bad one considering how much they released yesterday that should show you they have a plan for years to come and they'll do what they want regardless of the directors. 🎥
