I don’t usually cry during movies, but the ending of this movie really got me choked up. The pure joy of being alive is overwhelming.

[@clam6254]

i think it may be the single most optimistic superhero movie i’ve ever watched

[@Abridgimation]

[@AZWADER]

For me it was Nebula's reaction when she thought Drax had died

[@ironfist9414]

Cried 3 times went 3 times to see it too

[@jmeyer3927]

I cried harder at the end of GotG3 than at any other movie in a long time. And I think it was when I saw Drax dancing that really pushed me over the edge. Because he finally got his family back.

[@Chuck_EL]

Rocket's "No " primal scream at his girlfriend's death broke me

for me it was Nebula saying "You weren't born to be a destroyer. You were born to be a dad." That turned on the waterworks for me

@@Patrick-jd1ku the sentimentality feels so impactful because we know how these people started out. They’ve helped each other fight so many demons

[@shadow0fx]

For me it was when Peter walked in to see his grandfather, shocked that each other is alive. The hug with both of them repeating how much they missed each other broke me. I had recently lost my great grandfather when I first watched the movie, so it hit me harder

I’m glad that James Gunn got to finish this amazing trilogy. Can’t wait to see what he does with DC and beyond. He belongs to a very rare breed of storytellers nowadays.

The pure joy on Rocket's face in that last shot gives me chills. His entire story stems from having to move beyond the idea that he's unworthy of both love and happiness because of the tragedy of his origins, and once he comes into his own, there's a sense of emotional freedom that comes with it. That's both brilliant thematic cohesion and immensely powerful. Great finale to this amazing series of collaborations.

[@PillarofGarbage]

I don’t think I’ll ever forget watching the end of GOTG3 in the cinema. It’s long - some might say overlong - but I loved seeing the film _relish_ in that joy, and stay in that moment for a _sliiightly_ self-indulgent length. It just lets the emotion wash over you again and again. It’s the best MCU film yet - and, honestly? I don’t see it being topped. Banger song, too. ‘Just this once, everybody lives!’ - Malekith. Or someone.

[@SophiaSanders61]

"You were fantastic! And you know what? So was I!" - Destro, maybe?

[@pundarikakshakavipurapu-ch5260]

I so wish we could get a Thor: Dark World reshoot where Eccleston gets to bring that Whovian enthusiasm to Malekith, who in the comics is the opposite of colorless and dour.

[@robboyte1101]

"Everything ends, and that's always sad. But everything begins again, too. And that's always happy. Be happy."

[@PaulGuy]

GotG3 is an absolute masterpiece. It's not about saving a city, or nation, or planet, or galaxy. It's about saving each other, and not because of any sort of duty, but because they care about each other.. The trilogy as a whole is spectacular, one of the best in cinematic history. Everything matters, in a personal way, not just for lore. Every character changes, and those changes affect relationships, which affect characters.

[@BigBuran]

As soon as Dog Days are Over started playing it broke me. That song means a lot to me personally and I was NOT prepared. Never cried that hard in a theater before 🤣

[@ms0824]

I see you..

[@Dead_Pegasus]

Congratulations Nando, you have officially created the first piece of media to make me cry. When you talked about how James Gunn made a world where kids who didn't fit in could escape it really hit home for me

[@shephsnap]

let it out man, i’ve never looked back since harry died in spider-man 3 😂

[@dr.ninjake]

No idea why but this video made me tear up. I love the way James Gunn depicts hope for the future and love for the universe, and it makes me super optimistic for Superman Legacy, because that’s such a vital part of my favorite Clark depictions.

[@thomascheckie2394]

I had no idea that song was from 2008 until I read this, I thought it was much more recent.

[@brick245-x9]

This entire scene is honestly, my favourite moment in the mcu. Reminded me of why I loved the marvel movies, especially after the shows and other mcu movies just not being as enjoyable after endgame.

[@ms0824]

Totally agree. I was feeling kind of like I'm done with these films/shows and this reminded me of why I started loving it in the first place.

[@carlwheeser140]

Great video! Minor nitpick, the song "San Francisco" by the Mowgli's plays _very_ briefly during GOTG 3, which actually came out later than Dog Days Are Over by a little over a year.

[@NandovMovies]

oh shoot you're right. good catch!

[@shephsnap]

The final scene from the movie “Speed Racer” is one that i can’t watch without crying. the pure emotional depth from surface level of the spectators and the sport and deeper to the familial implications, the journey that’s been taken so far being considered. it is, without a doubt, one of my favorite, if not the best ending in a movie i’ve seen.

[@mrh8142]

[@matheusscabora9359]

No joke, I cried hearing you retelling the story of the guardians, best marvel franchise BY FAR.

[@michaelbonet9062]

What I love about the ending of this film is that it is the embodiment of catharsis, especially with Groot, Rocket, Drax, and Nebula howling to the air; Peter being embraced by his grandfather; and Gamora being embraced by the Ravagers, her new family.

[@katherinealvarez9216]

I love the ending to GoTG Vol 3. It brought tears to my eyes because its about healing and having a family and home. The story is isn't actually over, but we leave the characters in a better place.

[@v.v365]

This really helped me realize all the stuff I’d been feeling and passively observing with these movies and their development over the years, my brain just doesn’t put it together unless someone else brings attention to it all at once

[@FriBinCringe]

Can we talk about how, despite the fact that nobody died, everyone was crying at this movie. I think James Gunn truly knows how to get in our feels in such creative, unconventional ways.

[@jeremyachristensen]

This scene is so pure. It's really tears of joy inducing. It's absolutely beautiful and perfect and probably a top 5 Marvel scene

[@zenagitana]

There were so many times I cried out thinking one of the Guardians were done for. It was just such an emotional rollercoaster.

[@kasig2013]

The ending of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 actually had me break down sobbing. Not because of sadness, but overwhelming happiness. The universe coldly and cruelly seemed to take away everything it could from the Guardians. But, after so much pain and suffering, they dance and cheer with the new family they found in each other and the new life they had in front of them. One of the most beautiful endings I've ever seen in a movie.

[@mattwimberley8958]

Im 20 years old and pretty much grew up with the MCU and especially love the guardians movies. I remember thinking how cool it would be to hear songs in these movies that I grew up with since i dont connect with the stuff from before the 2000s in the same way(still love that stuff, my dad has had me listening to Rush and other bands since I was like 2). So when that Ukulele hit I lost it. Such a special scene in so many ways.

[@alexboyajian2096]

The final scene of indiana jones and the last crusade is absolutely perfect, hope somebody covers that scene

[@healthcaredotgov3097]

What really got me was rewatching the scene and seeing how Peter ends up doing what his mom did for him, but instead of leaving behind an artifact of obsession and loss, it's something transformative. A gift that has its intended effect of pure and overflowing love from a brother to another.

[@Missure_E]

A line from "Badlands" which played during the credits really fits the theme of the movie: "To the one's who had a notion, a notion deep inside that it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive".

[@PainCausingSamurai]

Despite Whedon's fall from grace, the last episode of 'Angel' is still my favorite finale, and I can't imagine the show ending any other way; Angel and whoever is left standing facing down the Apocalypse. "Let's get to work."

[@thekyletk]

Nando has such a unique ability to take a movie I love and allow me to see it for the first time again

[@crowbot4424]

Wow this is the content I love that you make. You really spoke some truth about how I feel about this franchise and the last movie in particular. I'm so grateful we got James Gunn because you're right, he gets both comic books and the human experience.

[@jamesbaggett7223]

I loved the scene where they were pulling up on the High Evolutionary and Rocket was singing “This is The Day” it was a subtle reminder that he had a score to settle.

[@edgar-sama642]

I didn't believe a "one _ scene" crossover would happen again, I'm so excited!!!

[@andersonic]

It was incredible that not only did all the Guardians survive, their stories "ended" because they had all grown and changed, and now had futures to pursue. Rocket and Groot with their new team, Peter with his Earth family, Gamora with her Ravagers, Mantis seeking her people, and Nebula, Drax, and Kragin looking after Knowhere. Even a satisfying epic ending like Star Wars or Return Of The King leaves the question of exactly how "happily ever after" will work out. Even if we never see it played out in movies, Gunn gave us a satisfying sense that these heroes will live on.

[@AMoniqueOcampo]

The only thing I would fix about the way Guardians 3 ended is that I wish all the Guardians could have shared in that last song together before parting ways.

[@dangibbins5435]

This last scene is so beautiful in context that just seeing the clips Nando used made me tear up. After a rough ride for the whole team, it's so pure and joyful, it's perfect.

[@timothyshore7646]

The first beats of Dog Days are Over played during my first watch of GOTG3 and I started crying instantly in the theater

[@diegoaerie]

this is so much of what i felt after watching the film, something else is how each film in the trilogy speaks to different aspects of growing up so to speak, with Vol. 1 being about Peter and his mom, Vol. 2 about his father, and Vol. 3 being about found family (among the myriad of great themes in the film), some of those ideas being foreshadowed with the transition from Father and Son to Cheap Trick's Surrender at the end of Vol. 2

[@MadameTamma]

My ‘one last scene’ in a movie that always hits me is the end of the movie ‘It’s a wonderful life’ where George decides to fully embrace his life for what it is and reject ending himself just in time for all of his friends to show up at his house to help him.

[@General_Grievance]

When I went and saw Guardians of the Galaxy 3, I had just moved across the country for university and I was extremely homesick. After an already incredible film, as soon as I heard Florence and the Machine towards the end I started crying in the middle of the movie theatre. Dog Days was the song my mum used to play for me when I was little, to help me cheer up when I was sad, and that extra special connection is what made the ending of GotG3 so special for me.

[@jswell886]

Ugh this scene is peak MCU if only for where it leaves Nebula and Rocket. It’s kinda incredible that no one died and I’m so glad. Nebula has the single best arc of any MCU character in my opinion and seeing her dance and smile with the kids at the end is so wholesome 💚 I love Groot helping to loosen Rocket up and dance with him 💚 I love Drax finally finding his calling and being an amazing dad dancing with the kids 💚 I love Mantis going off to find herself and Gamora having a new family 💚 I love Peter going home and seeing his grandfather again 💚 I love Kraglin and Cosmo getting in on the dancing and howling and just being a fun little duo 💚

[@HellAtlantic]

I’ve always interpreted “The Dog Days are over” as a meaning of “the hard times are past us - onward and upward”. A very positive song. So appropriate for the ending of GoTG and what made that last scene so powerful.

[@hannahstarinieri1351]

What I love about the end of the og gaurdians is that they all are still friends and are able to move on with their lives all still caring about each other. The last scene is so freeing and sweet with everyone dancing and laughing until the point where I started crying at how I love all those characters and I’m glad that James Gunn and all the actors are were able to provide this story about found family and self discovery x

[@1ronDragon]

Wild that this will be your last one of these mega-collabs, I remember doing a presentation in English class in the style of One Marvellous Scene on the "A funny thing that happened on the way to Thor's Hammer" one-shot, and that was before Covid 😮.

[@lisflower21]

This movie, all guardians movies actually always connected deeply with me, not just for being missfited, between the second and the final movie I discovered myself as transgender, guardians 3 started with creep something I felt like my whole life, and finished with dog days are over, a reminder a part of my life as a stranger to myself come to an end

[@tshore0601]

James Gunns films are the highest artistic point of the MCU. Great video.

[@bharv2309]

I cried during that last scene. It was a great scene but I just kept thinking about how all of these years of seeing these amazing characters and their journey to where they ended up, is over. 10 years of watching and loving these characters is done. And watching them say goodbye to each other was also like the audience saying goodbye to them as well.

[@WikipediaLover94]

The final scene of Speed Racer makes clear that in the film every time they say racing / racer it's a metaphorical replacement for filmmaking / filmmaker and I beg that some KZbinr to please make that video! Thank you Nando for reminding me how great a last scene that is!

I love the ending to this movie so much. It's an amazing celebration for so many characters who have suffered SO much. I always cry when drax starts dancing, such a strong character moment. And the song itself now always put me in such an emotional state just hearing it.

[@andrewholzman523]

I would like to get your thoughts on why James Gunn included San Francisco by the Mowglis in the movie. It contradicts the pattern you point out that the Dog Days are Over is the most recent song.

[@connorhalo]

Gunn dancing at the end just brought tears to my eyes.

[@Mae_forrest]

Almost every single Guardians movie makes me cry buckets, and 3 was no exception. I put it off, watching it, because part of me didn't want the story to end, but I knew it had to. Gunn simply understands the sublime silliness and seriousness of comics. It shows in every one of his latter day movies. The Guardians and the Suicide Squad are the crown jewel of what comic movies should be, and I can't wait to see how he treats Superman, Supergirl, and all the gang over at the Distinguished Competition.

[@asellape9270]

Pity that this is the last of the collaborations across KZbin. I always enjoy these collaborations. It was awesome while it lasted.

[@mostfrozenburrito]

I’ve never cried as much during a movie as I did this one and the ending was the cherry on top. I was sobbing in the theater. The song choice was perfect. I’m a big fan of Florence + the Machine though I hadn’t really looked into the lyrics of Dog Days until just recently. It’s beautiful

[@gbr4732]

I hope this isn't the *last* KZbin crossover ever. I was hoping when Superman Legacy came out you guys would do something like "One DCent Scene," or whatever. 😊

[@dimensionkid5921]

I can't describe how m7ch this scene hit me when I watched the movie. I was in the theater towards the end of the school year with a bunch of my friends. I was literally holding back tears because I could feel how the song connected to myself and the characters. Then during graduation, i automatically started seeing the scene again in my head.

[@ShockWithoutFear]

Nando put it so well, because of the pure hope you can feel in Gunn's recent movies, especially GOTG3, I feel like I can only look forward to what he brings to DC and especiallty Superman

[@zawarudo497]

[@tbuckley2031]

I was literally just looking for another “One Scene” and I saw this so I was like I’m just gonna subscribe this time before I forget what channel to search

[@Shalalacls]

I have loved these characters dearly for years, and it almost never happens that characters I relate to or get invested in make it tothe end of their story unscathed. Like Nando, I was mentally prepared to see some of my favorite characters ever die, or get those unhappy, "silver linings" kind of ending. This scene felt like a release for me as much as for them. All these characters that I love and relate to and care for, not only survive their story, but WIN it. They end up happy. I don't think I can quite explain how much that meant to me.

[@MariaVosa]

The greatest gift Gunn gave the MCU, which I hope they and every other superhero franchise studio learns from (which I doubt), is that you don't need a death to generate emotion or closure. Nor do all the problems have to be solved. They still have plenty of issues and things to resolve, but they ended in a better place with hope for the future. I loved the movie when I saw it in theatres, but it has kept growing in my mind and during rewatch. This creates an even deeper and more meaningful layer, it may be your best analysis to date!

[@GreenHatAnimation]

Your hair is looking great my dude!

[@SevenPilot]

Man, thanks for still talking about the Guardians of the Galaxy 3. Even though the movie is universally loved, the amount of people talking about it after initial reviews is very small simply because there was no impact on the mcu.

[@originaozz]

I'm crying for Guardians 3 again realizing that it was James Gunn dancing with his brother in that final scene. There's this purity only stories with so much love and personal struggles can achieve. It's something I miss so much from recent superheroes (except maybe Spiderverse) & I'm glad we get the perfect trilogy.

Before Guardians 3 came out, the conversation I was having with a lot of my friends was "which character do you think is going to die?" It wasn't "do you think someone will die." We all knew someone was going to die. The question was just who. It seemed so given that someone would die, that none of us could have imagined that Gunn would somehow manage to do the most unexpected thing, and let everyone live
