Did you miss us?? Because we missed you guys, for those who have been wondering where we have been, Disney seem to find ways of not letting me post my reactions. I’ve broken them down into parts tried to edit them differently, reached out to other reactors for advice, everything under the sun you name it, it seems like all I can do is what I’ve been doing, “keep uploading the reactions and waiting for them to be accepted” Thankfully “Avengers age of ultron” has been approved, so the next reaction will drop time time/day next week 6pm GMT. Alsssooo Im going to be streaming on twitch at 7pm GMT sooo come join me, it would be nice to see/speak to you guys, in real time where we can chill and vibe out, the link is in the bio!!!! & as always if you want to see the full unedited reactions the link to the Patreon is there too!!

“He called me *vermin!* She called me *rodent!”* The fact that he seemed to shrug the remarks off only to reveal how much they hurt when drunk… it hits pretty hard, especially after volume 3

[@theabruun1028]

“We are groot” never fails to make me tear up. I don’t know exactly why it’s so powerful, but it is. The sacrifice, the new word, the “I” turning into “We”, making them a team, a unit, rather than individuals all fighting for themselves. It’s just so touching.

[@DarkPaladin24]

I agree. I choke up at that part and also the beginning where Quil's mom dies. I love my mother and I know I'd be having that reaction if I was in the kid's position.

[@MrWordcraft]

Holy shit! It's been a while since I've seen this movie but DAMN! One thing I've never heard anybody talk about is Peter's grandfather, what a tragic life that man must've lived...he literally just lost his daughter then his grandson(whom his daughter entrusted to him to take care of him) goes missing that same day, talk about heartbreak. I really wish that someday Peter gets a chance to come back and apologize, or at least let him know that he is okay and that the one thing that his daughter left behind is safe and happy, if he's even alive at that point. RIP Grandpa Quill.

The actress who played Peter Quill's mama is from London but she really did a good job doing a Missourian accent , she was also in transformers The last Knight

[@yp8152]

29:01 That was actually the actor Chris Pratt dropping it and they have actually decided to keep it in the movie😂

[@08191906]

Gotta say, when Korath confronts the GOTG in the big ship and says, "Star Lord!" Even with everything hanging in the balance, Peter's smile for being addressed as his "legendary outlaw" name was priceless!

[@darnell7871]

A couple fun facts: 1. Yondu was originally one of the original members of the Guardians 2. Rocket name was base off the Beatles “Rocky Raccoon” and a real life Raccoon named Oreo 3. David Bowie was supposed to make a cameo in this before he died

[@jrobertlysaght]

4. Quill named his ship The Milano because Alyssa Milano (Commando, Who's the Boss) would have been a big crush about the time he left earth.

[@evanthebourne]

The moment Ronan said: *Thanos, I am coming for you* Was when Thanos had an epiphany and stopped using puppets to do his bidding.

[@jeancouto2809]

I still think Thanos would beat Ronan's ass even with a stone.

[@ma.2089]

@@jeancouto2809 of course. But it’s more about how puppets always fail him. For example, this was foreshadowed with the servant girl who thought she could control the power of the stone for her bidding and freedom but was destroyed. Ronan was the same

[@PerseusJackson-ox8sm]

“You said it yourself bitch. We’re the Guardians of the Galaxy.” One of the best lines of Marvel history.

[@funjukebox1324]

Between that and the, "Oli boli bo, boboli boboli bo" 😂😂😂, that shit had my rollin lmao...and I laughed even harder that Kraglin was cracking up too 😂😂😂

[@GreatSpaceToaster]

This movie always makes me happy. It's hilarious, heartfelt and just a whole lot of fun. When it was announced, I remember thinking "I have no idea what this is, but it has a raccoon with a machine gun, so I'm in", but a lot of people thought it was destined to be the MCU's first bomb. So it was really cool to see people embrace this movie and its weird characters so much. James Gunn infuses it with a great sense of humor and so much heart, you can tell how much he loves these characters. I really enjoy GoTG Vol. 2 and The Suicide Squad too, but this is still his best work in my opinion. Can't wait for Vol. 3.

[@natevanslyke990]

It's honestly a toss up for me which of the two GOTG movies is my favorite.. but both are right up there with Endgame and Infinity War as my favorite MCU movies. Like you said I thought it was a weird concept to have a talking raccoon with a gun and a walking tree. Low and behold the tree became a fan favorite amongst the fandom and Rocket became an instant favorite of mine. I've heard rumors that vol 3 will revolve around Rocket and that makes me both happy and scared for him but I look forward to it either way.

[@jordyalmonte42]

My biggest regret was not watching it in theaters. At the time I thought it looked ridiculous and would fail. Saw it later that year on blu ray, and I fell in love with it. I made a similar mistake with vol 2, judged it before it came out, then decided to watch it with an open mind years later (a few months ago actually), and I loved it too. I will not make the same mistake again for vol 3 I plan to watch it on opening night

[@Adrian-zn3pe]

been waiting for more reactions man, literally binged all your videos in a week since I discovered your channel because was nice to see fresh eyes for fan favourite movies and series, respect for trying to get these reactions out

[@tovolume]

Drax was the real scene stealer and Dave Bautista is magnificent in the role

[@timergent]

Bautista as Drax in 2nd GotG movie in a dialogue between him and Mantis delivered one of the most PERFECT lines in Marvel movie history and maybe in all movie history dare I say it. "Drax: You're hideous. Mantis: What? Drax: Don't worry, it's better to be ugly. That way if someone loves you, you know it's real. Beautiful people never know for sure."

[@moonknight3526]

I remember when this was first announced. A LOT of people thought this movie was gonna suck since the Guardians weren't popular amongst comic readers and general audiences didn't either. Boy, were they wrong.

[@danielhoehne801]

Funny thing is, I was well into the Marvel Universe when this came out. Hadn't seen this in the theater, but bought the DVD when I moved to western Colorado. First time watching it, didn't like it. Gave the DVD away. I think it was just because I was so unfamiliar with the characters, type of story line. Just didn't click. Of course now, it's a must see. :)

[@kyroking9934]

If anyone was gonna make these characters likeable, it would be James Gunn

Howard the duck is another character from the marvel universe, an interdimensional talking duck who works as a satire of modern society, think of him as a typical 60's grumpy man with a black belt in quack-fu. Here in the mcu is mostly related to the guardians of the galaxy, due to him being an interdimensional being.

That shot of Peter dropping the orb was literally a fuck up on the take and they just left it in.

[@banshotenin1178]

The relevance of Howard the Duck is that He was the first Marvel movie back in 1986 (Titled Howard the Duck). So he's referenced as kind of a Pioneer in the MCU and Marvel movies as a whole, similar to how Stan Lee is referenced in his cameos as Marvels writer, publisher, narrator & producer, along with Martin Goodman & Steve Ditko.

[@k3n12ock]

Also, the thing about Drax vS Ronin, Drax has been drinkin' but even still, his power/skills are super nerfed in the MCU
