when Groot says "I Love you guys", it wasn't actually him speaking English, it was actually symbolizing us finally understanding him since we've come to know the Guardians enough as a family that We've pretty much become part of the group :,-)

The fact that the first word the Rocket ever says is 'hurts' just broke me. I knew seeing Rocket's backstory in live action would break me 😭😭😭

Don't forget Nebula was a straight up villain in the first movie. The fact that she's there at all is amazing. Nebula actually had a pretty good arc in the MCU.

I love the fact that Peter was right, it was a literal face-off

Rocket had the saddest and most traumatic backstory of all.

I love the moment of Nebula almost crying when she hears Rocket's voice on the intercom. They haven't really done anything with it, but Rocket and Nebula lived through five years together as the only Guardians that survived the snap. That's a hell of a bond for two cyborg experiment people.

It was so heartwarming to see Peter reuniting with his grandfather at the end of the movie. That poor man went decades with losing his grandson moments after his daughter died. I can't wait to see Peter's adventures on Earth.

Nebula is criticising the others in this film because that's how she was raised by Thanos. Every time she made a mistake or lost a sparring session with Gamora, she would be tortured and have a body part replaced. Its why she has that mentality of trying to find faults in others - that's all she really learned for most of her life. Its like you say her recognising Drax was born to be a dad was an awesome moment, but also I love how she recognises her fault stemming from her childhood and deciding to oversee all these kids having a better future. James Gunn says this movie is about "the self", and it applies to all the characters. Nebula ties competence to her self-worth and that's why she criticises others, Drax's self-image of the destroyer was not true to the dad he really is, and Mantis recognised her self was tied to the Guardian's decisions but not to her own autonomy. Peter learns to swim and become independent, and also open himself up to loss by visiting Earth again. Gamora recognises Peter is someone she could have potentially fallen for and sees the value of the Guardians overall to her alternate self. Rocket learns he really is a raccoon and has a higher purpose than that of an experiment. 42:10 I would say she is close to some of the others. Gamora's her sister, but she's also definitely close to Rocket as well. Remember, when the Snap happened, only Nebula and Rocket were left and they spent 5 years mourning Gamora and Peter and the rest together. She also mentions how her upgrades were from Rocket, and when Rocket came back the first thing he says is "Where's Nebula?". Kraglin also seems to have a crush on Nebula, later in the movie he says "Kragula back in action", and there's even a deleted scene where its so obvious he has a crush on her 😂

32:37 When I first saw that scene at the movies, with Rocket looking at the baby raccoons (and possibly seeing himself as a baby) a phrase popped out in my head that I wanna share with you guys: "Being a hero is not about taking back what was taken from you, it's about giving to others what was taken from you".

Such a good ending to the trilogy and Rockets backstory was emotionally damaging 😭

I don't think Groot actually said, "I love you guys." I think that was to signify to the audience that we've been with these characters for a decade, so we're starting to understand him now. It kind of puts the audience into the family, too.

26:38 When Nebula hears Rocket's voice again to hear he's okay, that's when it got emotional for me since we know she's been thru the 5 year snap period with him.

The scene where he saves the little Racoons WITH the key that he made to save his friends in a similar situation just broke my heart I died crying in that scene, so good.

This film is a great farewell to the Guardians. James Gunn always nails the emotion

39:26 Also, Marycherry, the high evolutionary is not that well known a comic book villain, so James Gunn did a pretty iconic job making him this good.

After these years we finally have a F-Bomb & Rocket admits he's a raccoon.

Oh hell, here we go. You're the first of the reactors I follow to do this film, and I'm not ready to go through these emotions again. This is going to be tough!

One of my favourite things about this movie is seeing how much Nebula has developed since the first movie, she started as a villain and is now a full member of the Guardians as well as having a good friendship with Rocket. Not to mention her reaction when she sees the recording of what happened to Rocket and when she hears that he’s fine

Still love the fact that the first F-bomb in the MCU, was made by Starlord trying to get Nebula to open a car door.

This is one of the best movies from phase five so far because we finally got to see Rocket’s tragic backstory. Fun fact, Linda Cardellini, who played Hawkeye’s wife Laura in Avengers and the limited series Hawkeye, played the new character Lylla because Lylla is Rocket’s love interest in the comics. You may also recognize Jennifer Holland who plays the office administrator because she previously played Emilia Harcourt in The Suicide Squad movie and the Peacemaker TV series, as well as Daniela Melchior, who plays the new character Ura since she had played the character Cleo in The Suicide Squad.

Chukwudi Iwuji played The High Evolutionary so good, so convincing. You could really see how antagonist really believes in his actions, in their righteousness. Great perfomance

Very glad that all of the Guardians got their happy ending!!

It’s entertaining, well made, emotional, most of the characters had enough screentime, Rocket’s backstory was a tearjerker, and it brought the trilogy a perfect closure. Definitely my favorite of the Guardians trilogy.

Rocket had the most saddest and traumatic backstory of all. The High Evolutionary is one of those villains I despise for what he did to Rocket and his friends. This is my number one favorite movie of the year.

10:39 - It’s Emilia Harcourt; her first appearance in the MCU!! 12:06 - Ratcatcher 2 (Daniela Melchior)

40:31 Nah, we as an audience now understands him similar to Gamora understanding him. She was annoyed at groot first time as well.. actually multiple times.. and by the end she also started understanding him. So Groot saying I love you guys is us as the audience understanding him now due to our journey with him.

When Groot says I love you guys, hes not actually speaking. James Gunn explained that this is the audience finally understanding him because were a part of the family ❤

We should applaud Quill for the fact that he was for the most part, hung over the whole Movie 😭😭. Anybody who’s been tore up from heavy drinking knows how impossible it is to do anything. I drank so much one night, I slept from midnight to midnight lmao literally. I’d still be sleep if I were Quill.

The ending never ceases to make me tear up from happiness. Such a fitting close to the trilogy

Linda Cardellini provided the voice and motion capture for Lylla. She is one of the select few actors to play multiple roles in the MCU.

So interesting thing Mary, High Evolutionary is alive. If you look, Drax is taking him out with the animals. There's a deleted scene where Rocket gets to put him in a cage. Fitting. The scene also has the woman who got her face scratched up by the monkey being friends with the monkey. A little thing I needed to know. 😊 Also just a fun thing to know, the little girl with silver hair is named Phyla Vell. She has physic and energy abilities and is a Guardian in the comics, just as an adult. I was so happy to see her on the team.

Best trilogy of the MCU‼️ I enjoyed this one a lot in theaters!! Definitely one of the best 2023 films!!

I'm certain when groot says "I love you guys" it's not him talking in English but us the audience finally understanding him

Cherry want a fun fact about the song “Come and Get Your Love”? That song was made by the Native American rockband “Redbone” who were Yaqui, Shoshone, and Mexican-American. When they made their music it was all good but some of it one hit wonder like this song. My dad heard it back in the day when it debuted & hadn’t heard it again until James Gunn used it for Guardians of the Galaxy. This year its the 50th anniversary of the song and its now beloved by generations and by kids of all shades. As a part Yaqui kid, its real cool and my favorite song.

Such a great end to this trilogy. So dark and tragic, but also so full of heart and warmth. The Guardians are all such lovable characters. I love the friendship and comfort that all of these broken misfits have found with each other, and the way they helped each other heal and grow throughout the movies, so that they are now ready to go off on their own and find their own true paths. That is such a fitting ending to it all. Definitely teared up several times during this movie.

I was really worried that Rocket and Drax would die at the end of this film, after I heard that Dave Bautista and Rockets voice actor wouldn't play Drax and Rocket anymore after this film.

High Evolutionary didn't self destruct, he just destroyed everything around him. Groot didn't speak english (in the story), the audience just finally understood him at the end.

I really like that, whether it was intentional or not, the first time Adam Warlock is around a healthy father figure (Drax) he changes for the better. It’s just a little point and one that doesn’t matter much but it’s cool to see

First: WE ARE GROOT & now I LOVE YOU GUYS. Groot is the heart of the Guardians.

Rocket's backstory really got me together real quick especially quill's reaction to Rocket's short death really broke me but I really enjoyed the heck out of this movie Frfr 💯💯 Beautiful reaction Mary ❤❤❤❤

Thank you for this reaction Mary, you're so cool.

Fun fact: the guy that fell in love with Drax because of Mantis was played by the Benjamin Davis (Dutch Van Der Linde)

i loved this film, but i've never cried so hard in my life 😭😭😭

"Rocket, Teefs, Floor, go now!" is easily the saddest line in the MCU so far.

groot didnt say anything different, but we, the audience are supposed to feel like family so we can understand what hes saying now

If you think about it, Nebula probably got to know the Avengers better (5 years) than most of the other guardians when the holiday special was set

finally!! been waiting for you reaction to this

You wanna get sad? Let's get sad.

Rocket is legit one of my favorite characters in media. And this movie made me cry so much it’s so good!

Darn tear-jerker of a movie, but it took Mary a darn long while to realize that the High Evolutionary was treating Rocket badly.

Haglin being confused by Cosmo makes sense to a degree, gotta remember Haglin isn't human, and dogs aren't exactly common in space, Cosmo is his first time interacting with one, and it's one with powerful psychic abilities and the ability to communicate, that'd be strange enough to us down here.

I was kinda hoping that they'll also expand Mantis and Drax's relationship in this Movie and that Gamora will somehow return to them.

i think an interesting thing to point out is that, Quill saying "everyone on earth dies around 50", might allude to the fact that, that's all he can know from time on earth, he was abducted around 8-9 years old, saw his mum die when she was maybe in her 30s, the grandfather might've been around 50-60, which is probably where he gets that knowledge from. This is just a theory, but i thought a pretty cool detail.

Greatest MCU film since Avengers: Endgame!

I think this shows that the MCU Nebula isn't someone who's evil at heart, she just got stuck in a situation where it was her was all she ever knew. Once she got to escape that setting, she became someone who is actually tries to be good, but has to get past a lifetime of being horrible.

I have been waiting for this. Thank you for the great reaction. :)

It's confirmed from James Gunn that the reason you hear Groot speak at the end is the audience finally understood him because we were attuned to him. It was honestly a neverending story level of pulling in the audience

The first GOTG was my mom’s favorite comic book movie ever, sadly she passed away from cancer complications in 2015 at just 65 years old. What hooked her to the movie at first was the soundtrack of many of the songs she grew up on, but then she loved it so much that she became a fan of the MCU. It’s why this franchise has a very special place in my heart. So when Dog Days Are Over (ANOTHER favorite of mine and my mom’s) was playing and the Guardians were celebrating/moving on with their lives, I was a wreck. Not out of pain of loss, but of remembering the good times I had with my mom. As for the movie itself, it’s one of my top 10 favorite comic book movies ever, as well as an all time favorite.

I been waiting on this for so long

Rocket has definitiely not been a side character, he is 2nd only to Star Lord in screentime and plot importance.

Groot said I am Groot but now the audience like Gomora understands him and is a part of the GotG family.

Rocket's backstory is just...wow. so much torture in pain. I miss the old Gamora. And dying is easy for someone like H.E.. He needs to get his ass kicked more.

I like how we've seen how Rocket is clearly shown to be some sort of super genius the whole time (I mean, he builds guns out of literal trash in the past movies) but he is always kind of a silly, angry charachter who shoots things and doesn't use his abilities for much else besides violence.

38:02 Phase 4 finished with the guardians holiday special, phase 5 started with quantumania

For me, Guardians are those who have known how to experience good and bad times together. And always being united than anything, when it comes to saving the world even though sometimes everyone has differences. They are always there. 😭🙏💪💪

YO MARY YOU JUST GAVE ME FLASHBACKS WHEN YOU SANG THE NINJA TURTLES THEME!!!! That was my favorite version of the team!!!

It's not Phase 4, it's Phase 5. Ant-Man 3 was the start of Phase 5, this came after.

Mary I love your reaction to Guardians of the Galaxy volume 3❤ What a surprise that came so quickly😇 !!!

Your laughter is quite adorable!

I am from Brooklyn, my theater went crazy when this came on

I feel like Mantis and some of them will come back is something big happens, like the MCU introduces Annihilus and they do the thing in the comics where Annihilus and his army the Annihilation Wave damn near conquer the entire universe and so everyone that is any and everyone comes together just to survive.

Remember, Drax was a dad. That why he communicated so well with the captive children

This film took animal cruelty to impossibly new heights. You can really feel the cute little animals pain. It also has one of the happiest endings to any marvel movie I’ve ever seen.

If you hadn’t noticed, the scenes in the past with the high evolutionary he had his Norma face. The only reason gamora could peel it was due to rocket ruining his face so he had to have a face put back on.

You missed the Guardians Holiday Special which is on Disney Plus. There is a big reveal about Starlord and Mantis in the special that is carried over in this movie.

Seeing the High Evolutionary’s mistreatment of Rocket and his experiments really affected me since I volunteer at an accredited zoo and am not tolerant of animal or human abuse. It’s also the main reason I never watched Tiger King.

There was a deleted scene that was released where Rocket locks the High Evolutionary away, I’m glad they didn’t kill him and I hope we see more of him because as much as I loved Jonathan Majors as Kang the conqueror I found the High Evolutionary a much more interesting and intimidating villain.

Mary, you probably didn't notice until now that this third film is the only one time that Peter didn't equip his iconic space mask and the rocket boosters.

I'm pretty sure that, like Gamorra, we the audience finally can understand Groot by the end of the film and that is why we heard him say something other than "I am Groot"

Also the end with groot saying I love you guys according to James gun was us understanding him for the first time

James Gunn and Nathan Fillion are friends and have been since they filmed the movie Slither together. I believe that James attempts to have Nathan Fillion cast in some way in every movie he's done since then. In the first Guardians movie he did the voice of the alien in the prison the breakout of. I believe it was the one that Groot lifted up by the nose. Nathan filmed a scene or two for Vol. 2, but it ended up being cut out of the movie. Now that James has taken over the DC movie universe, he has already cast Fillion as Green Lantern. Fillion has voiced the Green Lantern in some of the animated DC movies.

I've seen all 3 Guardians of the Galaxy movies in theaters and they all brought me to tears. Definitely the best MCU trilogy.

All of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies have been enjoyable to me. Gunn likened the High Evolutionary to "a space version" of Doctor Moreau from Island of Lost Souls (1932), a film Gunn is a big fan of, calling him "a detestable character."There is a lot of great music in all of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies that I love."There is no god! That's why I stepped in." ―High Evolutionary. It was such a dark, creepy, and awesome movie. I really enjoyed it. High Evolutionary is dubbed as one of the "cruelest villains" of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Chukwudi Iwuji described High Evolutionary as "narcissistic, sociopathic, but very charming. I couldn’t have thought of a better character that uses skill sets better to join the MCU with. Because there’s something very Shakespearean about him, there’s something very emotionally dark about him, and he’s a lot of fun on top of all that".

Gamora is NOT being cruel to Quill. She doesn't know him! There is nothing to remember because she was never there. Honestly, I'd be angry too if a guy from another universe kept saying that if I try her enough I can stay with him. Like she said: it was an alternate version of her from a different future. She is not her. As much as I would love her being with the guardians, I know it's not realistic for her to simply be back with them. She spent around 48 hours with this people, that's hardly enough to be close friends with those strangers. Except for Nebula who is her sister in every universe, she doesn't truly know anybody.

Nebula softened up once she knew Rocket was ok. Those 2 only had each other for 5 during the blip. Watch her reaction when she hears his voice

The red Orgoscope woman was played by Daniela Melchior, Ratcatcher 2 in The Suicide Squad.

As an ex-comic collector, yes there are vast differences between the comics and the film adaptation, but honestly even among us old-timer fans of the comics, we can still appreciate the film for what it is and I loved this trilogy. Unsurprisingly, it is the High Evolutionary who got the biggest change, probably due to time constraints. He is written as such that it is so easy for us to hate his guts and that's a great achievement of writing for the film. I think the reason GotG keeps setting itself apart from the crowd despite the massive growth in this genre is the film remembers that what carries it are the characters portrayed in it, and the Guardian's films all instinctively knew this and pushed it to the front in every situation. As such that what mattered to them drove their decisions, often conflicting with others within the group. In contrast, it often feels like the vast majority of the super hero films have unwilling heroes being dragged by a giant, invisible anchor pulling them from one encounter to the next. Also, lovely reaction :)

Quill leaving his helmet behind makes sense because he doesn’t see himself as Starlord anymore with Gamora. He has lost confidence in who he is maybe.

I was hoping for Groot to say “because family” 😂

So....When Mary said 'It's a massive organ of some type", how many of us thought 'That's what she said"?

Love this! And I think Groot didn't say anything differently at the end. Just like his other friends, we as the audience just understand him now...

On previous monday I watched this part for first time! I couldn't stop crying!

Us understanding what Groot says its a nice mirror to the way Gamora started to understand him. We have spend years with him so we all started to understand him.

Did anyone notice that when Mantis, Drax, and Nebula were trying to get into the Arete (The High Evolutionary's Ship), and they were "entering space", and then Mantis asked why they were even trying to get into it in the first place, Nebula responded with saying that Groot and Peter were in there, and they needed to get them out, but as she said that, you could see Peter, Groot, and Recorder Theel Falling right behind them.

In guardians of the galaxy 1 when they get arrested it says the people working with rocket are groot and lylla

Seeing animals get hurt genuinely hurts my soul

So much credit to Chukwudi Iwuji for being such a good villain. He really makes you hate the High Evolutionary

When Adam showed up, everyone saw only his powers, but not his personality. He was a man-toddler, but he was born too "early," sovereign-wise, just like in the comics, he was born immature.

love the hair! i remember the old gamora hair
