It's quite rare for me to cry at movies and TV, but when Peter said to Mantis that she was the greatest Christmas gift ever, I got very close to tearing up.

@funnylilgalreacts Год назад

Considering she wanted something loving or caring from Drax in GOTG2 (he did in his own way) to have that pure joy from Peter is so frickin wholesome.

Mantis was my favorite part because I feel they really added to her character, making her a lot more interesting than she was.

@frozenharold Год назад

The band is the Old 97's. They are James Gunn's favorite band. (And one of mine.) He asked lead singer Rhett Miller to help him write the song, and while they were doing it, he just decided the heck with it, and asked them to be the actual band.

@funnylilgalreacts Год назад

James Gunn does that for all his friends! He includes them in everything and I love that about him!

@ianwills2738 Год назад

I loved it, Drax and Mantis together were brilliant, Kevin Bacon fully committing to it and the band but my favorite line in the whole thing was Nebula :- “ you can’t outrun me Bacon”. I’m still chuckling about that now

Finally having Pom Klementieff in a lead role in the MCU was fun. And that sister angle. That was a nice touch and giving some family back to Peter. I really think the closing credits music should have been Footloose. :)

I’m so bummed, they didn’t have footloose at the end! It would’ve been perfect!

I like the fact that Mantis is Quill’s sister too, but something I’ve often wondered about is that Quill would still have relatives on Earth (his mother’s family, who we saw at her bedside at the start of the first movie) that he doesn’t appear to care too much about

@nucleardonkeyxxx Год назад

@@philcorrigan5641 as someone who was estranged from my father's side of my family at 9 years old it actually makes sense for Peter to not care as much about his Earth family. He was taken from them before he could make that strong connection with them like he did Yandu and the rest of the Guardians.

I swear you hit nearly all my favorite moments in this reaction, lol. Michael Rooker coming back as Yondu, Drax getting tickled by the bullets, Groot's gift for Kraglin (easily the best of the set), Mantis tackling "Steve", Bucky's arm (I totally expected a gun too, didn't expect THAT "gun")... The constant self-awareness about actors being pieces of shit, lol... The only thing I can remember that wasn't in your cut was Quill calling Groot out when he tried to say kidnapping Bacon was a bad idea. "I literally just saw you wheel him out in front of everybody!" So good, rofl.

@temper44 Год назад

I just realized what Gunn does. He takes side characters and smaller villains and brings their real humanity and silliness. Sort of like how Tarantino takes mid level crooks and makes them his focus in every movie, character that would barely get a speaking scene in a regular movie.

6:45 - I just noticed a VERY subtle Easter Egg at this scene while Drax is laughing, and Nebula looks at Him. Pictured in the background around Her face, the Blue with vertical lines reminds me of the TARDIS which was Her (Karen Gillan's) first foray into Space with Doctor Who. So Cool!

Knowhere was indeed wrecked by Thanos, which probably explains how they were able to buy it in the first place, why the Collector was willing to part with it, and why it is in need of so much repair. The "What If" series are all things that occurred in alternate realities of the multiverse.

At the end there you are talking about the movie American Pop by Ralph Bakshi. A character plays Night Moves in the penultimate scene. The animation in this struck me as a call back to Ralph Bakshi's style as well. He also did Lord of the Rings and Heavy Metal. But man, American Pop has been one of my favorite movies since 6th grade, and I've loved Bob Seger ever since as well.

@funnylilgalreacts Год назад

My mother was obsessed with Bob Seger growing up, so I know all of his music! I knew that animation looked so familiar!

@Melancthon7332 Год назад

The style isn't Bakshi's - it's called "rotoscoping", drawing animation cels directly over filmed footage of actors. Bakshi used it heavily (too heavily, imo), to the point that he's often associated with the technique even though many, many animators have used it, especially during the seventies and eighties - for instance, you thought Bakshi made Heavy Metal, even though he was *not* one of the half a dozen different animators of that movie.

So much warmth in the heart of this movie. Random thought I had while watching, it's kind of weird how he's called Drax The Destroyer but his primary super power seems to be that he is indestructible. P.s. Knowhere was overgrown in an alternate universe, where T'challa became Starlord. If I had to guess the Collector's entire operation was probably destroyed by Thanos but the skull itself was fine so they were able to buy it up "cheap" as a fixer-uper. I'd love it if it was Nebula and Rocket's idea since they weren't snapped and would have had 5 years to plan on acquiring it. Setting goals and working towards them. They bought a house.

In the comics, she's more than decent at fighting, she's a martial arts expert. She's also a mystic and has mastered meditation. (And she's human: half Vietnamese and half German.) As I understand it, the writer and artist who created the character weren't very pleased with how she was depicted in the films, so to me this feels like an attempt to bring the movie character a bit more into alignment with the comics character.

She's become one of my favorites and I didn't expect we'd even see her have this much screen time. She just cracks me up. I hope that the corporate changes at Disney don't mean the end of these Marvel specials, because so far they've been wonderful. They remind me of the feeling of being a kid in the late 70's/early 80's when there would be a Disney movie on broadcast tv on a Saturday night. Escape from Witch Mountain, for example. (Uh, this was before VCR's, so getting something exciting and different was a special treat.)

@SilentBob731 Год назад

From starting off with one of the only Christmas songs I like (The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl), to giving us a Mantis & Drax road-trip caper, to making Kevin Bacon pretty much the hero that Peter thought he was (though in a different way), this was an out-of-the-park grand-slam by James Gunn. Anything that makes me laugh, cry, and cheer gets an A+ in my book, and this definitely qualifies.
