[@stevenbolstridge596]

I think people tend to forget that Rocket and Nebula were the only Guardians left for 5 years after Infinity War, so her reaction to Rocket being alive hits hard because obviously they got closer after all that time!

[@JohnDoe-415]

Also the first thing rocket says when he gets revived is “Where is Nebula?”

[@richardgabriel332]

Nebula & Rocket's relationship was never really explored, but them being the only two Guardians who survived the snap and leaning on each other during the grieving period of "everyone" else on the team would have made them extremely close. At this point, Rocket and Nebula would have been closer than Groot & Rocket OR Nebula & Gamora. Groot is actually the offspring of Groot from the 1st movie so the history isn't there, and Nebula and Gamora spent most of their lives competing with each other. So if you think about it in those terms, Nebula and Rocket probably had the strongest bond of all the team members in this movie.

Interesting fact: Dave Bautista stated the reason Drax is wearing more clothes over his torso in the Christmas special and in Vol. 3 is because he stated it’s harder to keep up his physique at his age, and Gunn understood completely and helped dress his character accordingly to allow Dave to not have to put so much physical strain on his body.

Adam isn’t underutilized, you have to think High Priestess Ayesha states that they removed him from his cocoon too early, so he’s not at normal comic book full power. Once he is then he’ll be as strong as we recognize him normally. This is essentially baby Adam Warlock.

When people say he’s underutilized I don’t think they mean he’s a poorly written character. I loved Adam, but I agree with those who say he wasn’t used as well as he could have been. Gunn up and admitted that Adam was the HARDEST thing to write in this film, because he was teased so heavily at the end of GOTG2, but ultimately didn’t need to be included in this new story he wanted to tell. He was forced in, plain and simple. But we love Adam anyway.

[@whaleshark7154]

This was a solid 9 or 10 for me, and I remember along with the whole theatre crying when Rocket cried. Everyone got their closure, Nebula became a cold-hearted villain to a warm-hearted protagonist, Drax finally become a dad, Mentis went to discover herself, and Peter came back to earth to fix ties with the Family he was running. We also got one of the best if not the best villain in MCU, who people really hate...Also, this had the best soundtrack, and you never feel bored at all and was one of the best movies from Marvel and Gunn.

I gotta disagree with what Jen said about the audience wanting to see other things aside from Rocket being saved. This movie was about HIM more than the rest of the guardians. Rocket is the reason Gunn decided to do Guardians. I personally think the time we spent on Rocket was just enough, and while as a romance lover i wanted Quill and Gamora back, I was glad with how much it was focused and how it ended. Star-Lord will return and theres a chance for those two to have more moments together.

[@hali_55]

I don’t think anyone has to die to add emotion or realism to a story. Rocket’s backstory and even Peter struggling to accept Gamora being gone added a lot of emotional weight to this movie. And that’s even when you take away the fact that Lyla, Teeths and Floor _did_ die along with the Gamora we know from parts 1 and 2. Peter or Rocket dying in this would’ve just been tragic, the movie didn’t need that.

43:15 Adam was out of his cocoon early as his mother said, the High Evolutionary did it to make him find Rocket asap, so my thoughts are that he still in development and acts like a child, I think he will grow into the character we know from the comics on later movies. Great reaction guys, good to see Matt back!!!

"No one ever dies" *Laughs in Black Widow*

[@DylanMadd]

I think Drax dancing at the end might be my favorite through line in all of the MCU. It’s such a good feeling when he finally goes for it.

[@biguy617]

I wish Drax and Mantis ended up together. I thought they were liking each other.

[@CoolPandaTheMovieNerd]

Let’s see Matt laugh at Schindler’s list and 12 years a slave next. If he thinks animals dying is funny he’ll love those.

[@wingman5100]

Buddy on the right kept ruining the movie for Holden and Wifey making so many comments…

[@BigScreenMovies]

Nebula and Rocket were the only ones not snapped away by Thanos, that's why she cares so much. For 5 years all they had was eachother... :((

[@Vegetable2121]

Some scenes don’t need jokes banter and commentary from you guys imo.

[@kingpisces7029]

that little eye roll Groot gives at 33:01 is hilarious to me 😂😂 i never noticed that lol

[@nicksmyth4050]

The pink woman the three hold hostage is the actress who plays Ratcatcher 2 from Gunn's Suicide Squad movie. Also, besides Green Goblin & Kilgrave, High Evolutionary is definitely one of the most evil MCU villains.

[@antoineporche-rideaux4841]

The reason why the high evolutionary had to stand on a box when you talk to Aisha was because the actress who plays her is 6'-3"

[@jacksonrobinson4228]

Bro sucked all the emotion out of the movie, who hurt you bro?

[@NightwingTV]

This is phase 5 Holden. Just letting you know! Also, was expecting higher scores, but aight.

[@waiken3727]

I was expecting either they're going to give it a 9 or 10 because this is such a good movie but they didn't know how to enjoy it

[@se7en_tgf]

They didn't give it a chance. There was more heckling than absorbing the scenes.

[@NightwingTV]

@@waiken3727they looked like they were enjoying it, even Jen who thought it was somehow decent

[@NightwingTV]

@@se7en_tgfyeah, I was shocked

[@waiken3727]

@@NightwingTV they're not enjoying it they're just making fun of the movie and seem uninterested or else they wouldn't have rate this low

[@anaarias1993]

31:27 nebula cares a lot. Remember during the blip only her and Rocket survived the blip. So they had 5 years of friendship compared to everyone else.

[@jn_9994]

Good to see Holden spending time with his Son

[@MattLaneFitness]

Well done and Touché. I have no rebuttal. 😂

[@cameronshiells5598]

Everyone was expecting rocket to die, as the colour of the logo for the movie was based off him, the other movies were groot and yondu and they died in those movies.

[@klxvd9970]

Not gonna lie, couldn’t finish. As soon as I heard “no one ever dies” and nothing but jokes from the friend during an emotional scene I knew what it was gonna be, just to see the comments confirm it 🤣💀

[@Mylament_]

They did say Adam was released from his pod prematurely, so that’s why he isn’t the big powerhouse. There were other plans for him that ultimately got scrapped, but I do see this as him developing more over the course of the MCU, and isn’t this perfect thing that can solve anything in a second

[@maccus7556]

Matt coming in showing his character also will not ever die

[@JavierRivera-fp6cb]

Remember Rocket and Nebula weren’t blipped by Thanos so they spent 5 years together with out the others, that’s why she cares a lot

[@shocksix]

Matt doesn’t watch movies to enjoy it. He watches to find every way to criticize & nitpick.

[@patrickmcdaniel5756]

Not gonna bash your friend, i have a friend just like him. But i also only rewatch stuff with him or keep it strictly comedy movies. Not gonna lie that dude was out to crush any dramatic moment. Also the resolution on gamora was accepting who she is now. She is not the gamora from the first two movies, that gamora died. Sum of your experiences and all that.

[@nintenmetro]

Nebula’s arm cannon reminds me of the upgraded Sentinels from X-Men: Days of Future Past. At least Peter admitted to screwing up in Infinity War. 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. 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, Nebula and Groot 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 almost made me cry when he saw Peter freezing to death. The dude really is the heart of the squad. Drax found a new sense of fatherhood. My favorite moment with him was when he translated for Groot to Adam. And finally, Come And Get Your Love by Redbone helps bring the Guardians’ journey full circle.

[@willsprings]

Rocket and Nebula spent all that 5 years during the snap together. Maybe the most time together as any of them. She loves him

[@batmanmad123]

I feel like we’ve moved past having Matt watching these movies. We love Matt and he was great back in the day but he seemed a little insensitive at times in this video and it upset me a little bit.

[@waiken3727]

yup he keeps laughing during the emotional scenes and doesn't take the story seriously which is so annoying

[@lemonstone2985]

Damn i was actually looking forward to this

[@alucardvekkia3966]

your friend is annoying, people who gotta make witty jokes during serious or emotional moments in movies are so annoying

[@Andrew-jh6nm]

someone tell dude on the right that being cynical isnt a personality

[@SergioLeRoux]

"Nobody ever dies in movies. You can hit rewind and they are alive." - Matt, probably.

[@J.D....]

I dont think i will ever get floor screaming "Rocket Teefs Floor go now!" over and over again out of my head - it haunts me.

[@rubenquiros4859]

I enjoyed Matt in past videos, but this reaction wasn’t it. The constant jokes and cynicism, especially during the emotional beats, really hurt this reaction’s vibe. It just wasn’t the appropriate movie for it.

[@Jbluez1]

That’s hilarious that you criticize “Marvel Humor” and want to “let it be sad” as you literally made the Otter jokes as they are getting killed.😅

[@Nala_1230]

not the constant laughing while rocket is seeing the light... yall are way too evil for my comfort lmao only channel that laughed during sad moments LOL

[@waiken3727]

yup they ruined the emotional moments for me because they don't seem to like it as much as we do

[@gameanator4508]

Awww, Boston looked so happy when Matt got down to his level
