Very good movie. Would say it was the 2nd best Guardians movie and on par with the No Way Home.

Not sure why they made Adam a dumbass? He was a very intelligent and wise character in the comics.

High Evolutionary was WAY to weak. He is up there with Thanos. Beating him in the end with a regular beat down was pretty lame.

So Keiju was a little bitch about this movie which he will never see anyway so… nothing as usual. If anything during the open, it looked like Karen had a preggo belly being hidden as she seemed a little thicker than usual.

Anyway. Only Gunn has true creativity in the MCU. While this one felt a little more MCU’d, Gunns style just makes it work.

VFX is gold and better than anything else the MCU has put out there for a long time. The characters are just great.

Was not expecting that graphic face reveal for The High Evolutionary but I loved it. Chukwudi Iwuji is a better actor than Jonathan Majors. There. I said it. He brought some gravitas to his villainous role. frick it. Make him Kang.

Wasn’t expecting everyone to survive. But I can dig it with how the ended it. Nebula had probably the best character growth of all MCU characters sans Stark perhaps in far fewer films.

The new cast of Guardians makes sense. Cooper has such an easy deal with voice work to be the leader. Groot is just another voice character.

I thought Poulter was fun as Adam Warlock though hopefully he “ages up” for future appearances.!

Yeah I hope Adam grows like the scarlet witch over a few series.


Honestly this movie should have been two or had a tv series to grow out some of the back stories a bit more.

I really wish they would let some of the big bads from the movies to live. I don’t understand the need to kill them off so quickly.

I thought the exact same thing by the end. Marvel missed on the Kang casting.

You’re confusing gay pride with teletubbies.

fans are not stupid, they appreciate a well-acted villain and a black actor getting a villain role is an opportunity to show off acting chops.


And holy crap did he do that. What a phenomenal job in that role. I would rather him as Kang than the other dude.

Like everyone else, I loved the movie. We got closure for the most part, and that's all I wanted knowing some of the actors weren't reprising these roles.

I'm also glad no one died. I know Marvel doesn't mind killing characters off, but this ending was nice to be honest.

Best Marvel movie since End Game. Truly epic. I loved every minute of it and I kept being surprised, because it was weird in places. But it was so well done.

The critics who didn’t like it are wrong. It was really good.

Where is this revisionist history of Jonathan Majors being a bad Kang coming from?

He was the best thing about the mess that was Quantumania.

yeah, I am confused as well. I thought Majors was great in Ant Man and Loki. But Chukwudi did an absolutely great job as well.

Calm down. No one said Majors was bad. Some people just think this guy would’ve been better.

Easily the best Marvel film since Endgame. Well done. I enjoyed it. And kudos to Vin Diesel for saying 4 new words.

I didn’t like him at all in Loki, and thought he was bland and boring in Quantumania

I gotta be honest. I think it's pretty impressive that he's managed to get a roll in so many projects just on the back of saying the same line over and over. I'd have been happy to do that for them for half his pay.

Define evangelical.

Every woke activist is an evangelical proselytizer of their ideology. All the award ceremonies are thick with both virtue signaling and woke lecturing.

One guy with a different message and he’s blatant speechifying. Oh, the shock and horror!

I agree with your sentiment, but I don't think the other poster was knocking Chris Pratt for the speech.
