I had an adventure to the Lego store today and I have to put it out there that this Rocket is genuinely not as scary as the promotional pictures make him look. In person, he's honestly quite adorable. I was tempted to get him, but you know how Lego is, it's expensive 😭

But just look at his lil face and look at his Baby Groot

all of you guys may have moved on but mentally, I'm still here:

I know a lot of people don't like it, but this movie was just so chef's kiss for me in so many ways, I have so much love for it and I can't even really put into words why

y'all are just sleeping on it

Bit of an early morning rant, I've been up since 6am and I'm grouchy and tired and this has sort of got under my skin because of a post I saw.

A much as I love James Gunn, I would honestly argue that he falls into the "doesn't give female characters the same character development as male characters"

I think Nebula was the only character who had the same amount of character development as a male character would have had, and I am so proud of her as a character because she's come a long way, but it would have been nice to see the same go for Gamora and Mantis.

I was reading the GOTG VOL. 2 production book the other day, and James was saying how Nebula just wanted a sister and Gamora was learning to love, and whilst that's true and obvious from the film itself, he also mentioned that Gamora was always the bully in their relationship as they were growing up, but we never really saw that. It was ever only Nebula being the bad one. We only really saw Gamora in VOL. 3 being the "bully" and a lot of her personality had changed randomly. And my gripe with that is the fact that from what we've seen of Gamora on screen before the last film was her caring for Nebula. She was trying her best and had been ever since the first GOTG film — she even was in Endgame.

So I feel like if Gamora really was the bully in their relationship, it should have been shown before VOL. 3. I have so much more to speak about when it comes to Gamora and her relationship with Nebula as a whole, but I'll leave it at that for now. He just kind of failed Gamora, really.

Idk. He kind of dropped the ball on Mantis too. I adore Mantis, but I feel like the only sort of character development she got was in VOL. 2 when she turns against Ego to go with the Guardians, and in VOL. 3. I understand that there's only so much you can put in a singular film — I'm studying film studies and wanting to be a director, so I get it. But we've had so many appearances of the female Guardians and not much has happened for both of them. I feel like a lot more could have been done with Mantis in one way or another before VOL. 3. I got why she left and she's another character I'm proud of for making that decision, but I would have liked a little more attention on her.

Drax: Why is everyone so obsessed with top or bottom? Honestly, I’d just be excited to have a bunk bed.

Gamora:

Peter: I'm gonna tell him.

Gamora: Don't you dare.

It's been a month I can be salty.

Explanation under cut

He dropped the ball on Gamora and the whole Group of Guardians. This is the first time that it feels less like an ensemble movie and more like "The Space Adventures of Rocket and Quill"

There could have been more elaboration on Peter and Mantis leaving, Nebula staying on Knowhere during the story instead of at the end. Drax's touches of being a Dad to the kids was actually really well done.

Groot didn't really have a character. Not even when his Dad Rocket was dying, he didn't feel like he was active in the story or given time to react at all.

Peter Quill's Arc was halfway decent so he wasn't mentioned. I have doubts that he'll return, but worse things have happened in this franchise. (i mean this as a joke.)

James has gone on record to say "you can just hop in" to Vol 3...but. That's putting new fans over the old ones. That's not fair or satisfying to the people that love these characters and have been following them for these 9 years.

List of Gamoras:

Guardian Gamora who was killed by her abuser in IW to "humanize" him. And then not followed up on. No funeral, no mentions aside from Quill having some very human grief but still unhealthy and Nebula taking a moment.

Gamora from the T'challa Star-Lord What if was just...not mentioned. At all. Only Nebula and Thanos were seen.

Gamora from the What if where she Kills Thanos and takes his armor. She has a Funko Pop...but she's in season 2 in limbo and we don't know anything about her. Also a Gamora that died against Upgraded!Ultron...

Ravager / Feral Gamora, who hitched a ride with the Ravagers in a deleted scene and got her bonding with them off screen. Pulled into a tough situation with her other self, constantly compared. It was a bad spot but Gunn handled it where she kept her choices and understood the Starmora relationship enough to keep in touch with Quill.

James just gave a really good swing at his fursona (i mean this affectionately) 's backstory and writing the end of a chapter of their lives. Adventures can still happen, the Guardian's aren't gone, but...they'll never be the same again.

We're never going to see them at their "peak" between Vol 2 and Infinity War and that's a shame. They were more family than the Avengers ever were. Despite being aliens, they were more human than many other characters in the MCU.

#ahahaha this hurts to look at bc of how true it is #and with the mention of what if...? gamora there really wasn't enough there for her imo #for a character thats supposed to be a member of the guardians of the multiverse she barely had any attention on her #idk they've handled her in such a bad way in the past few years and it genuinely infuriates me #im not even going to bother talking about 2018 gamora because thats what im angry about most #gamora #mcu #marvel #marvel cinematic universe #guardians of the galaxy

they may be good at formulating plans and bringing the crew together, but mcu quill and telltale quill are most certainly a head empty no thoughts kind of guy
