    Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3

    Agreed - if they had explained it prior to Vol. 3, then it wouldn't need to be in this film. But Vol. 3 would be the natural chapter to place it in, barring a one shot like you suggested. The only other film where it could have been explained is Thor: L&T, since the Guardians are there at the...

    Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3

    Certainly the Peter/Gamora storyline needed to be resolved, otherwise audiences would be asking, "Where's Gamora?" And that's due to the nature (and expectations) of these more "solo" (ie., non-Avengers) entries. Because it's a Guardians film, we expect the whole gang that's been there from the...

    Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3

    I'd also like to see more of Pom Klementieff's Mantis. While more of a supporting character when intro'd in Guardians 2, she has grown into an important part of the team, with her unique skills. Her partnership with Drax is both touching and funny.

    Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3

    I felt the same way about Joker (2019). Much too grim and depressing for me to revisit. But Vol. 3 does have some humour throughout and hopeful scenes at the end (Joker had little, if at all).

    Agreed that no explanation was needed - I ask more out of a "fill-in-the-gaps"-type curiosity.

    Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3

    Very good end to the Guardians trilogy! While some reviewers (eg. James Berardinelli) thought it was overlong, I felt it earned its length. There were enough emotional stakes and goodbyes that you have to let the ending breathe, rather than cut things off. This is especially true when you’ve...

    Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3

    I tried to outline some possible reasons in my post before yours. All IMO, of course. I don't know anything that happens behind the scenes. So there could be other reasons. While there have been some disappointing entries post-Endgame, I'll continue to watch, if only for the occasional great...

    Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3

    I would agree that post-Endgame, there has been less consistency in the MCU's output. Some of the reasons may include (IMO): 1. The push to develop content for the then-fledgling Disney+ service. Whereas previously it was, at most, 3 MCU releases a year, this push would lead to maybe 6 or more...

    I'm sure I will... given Adam Warlock is in this.

    Excellent - I had forgotten about that. Thanks! (Truth be told, I don't remember much of Vol 2!)

    Since Florence + The Machine formed in 2007, I'm guessing this is not part of Peter Quill's mixtape(s)? ;) (Yes, he could have discovered it when he was on Earth post-Endgame, but a low probability?)

    Got the tix! I thought the session I wanted was almost sold out (4 seats left) but then I realized it was a different location. My regular one had plenty of seats. Phew!

    Given it’s the “final” film featuring this team, I’m fine with the runtime. Actually, I’m glad it’s not confined to around 2 hours. 😉

    Getting closer to tickets being released! Probably in about 2-3 weeks.

    Also, Iron Man 3 mentioned the Super Friends, which is a team based on DC's Justice League. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Friends

    Agree that it was wonderful, and wonderfully done. I could have watched 2 hours of this... But short and sweet is perfectly fine as well.

    Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3

    Fun fact: So, essentially much of the supporting cast of Crazy Rich Asians is now in the MCU! Michelle Yeoh, Awkwafina, Ronnie Chieng, Gemma Chan, Ken Jeong, Remy Hii, and now Santos!
