Groot falling asleep on Drax's shoulder was the moment for me.

I eagerly await your brain melting when the first trailer drops.

I just remembered that during the whole final battle Ego made me think of a Ghostbusters villain.
Shout be around Thor right? Going by the past. At least some teasers

I'm going to break from consensus and say that was fucking incredible and maybe the best Marvel movie. And I didn't even like the first one that much!
Low-key everything else a footnote as I wait for this to get released
Feige (or someone else) said it would be coming this summer.

Ryan Coogler is gonna give us a one take fight in BP ala the Sporino fight in Creed, isn't he?

LAWD.
Man look, when that first trailer comes out I'm gonna have a fucking field day
D23 is July 14.......
They don't kidnap children.
I didn't say this was my new fave?

I'm going to guess human trafficking in general

I think it was not to get into deals that deal with children, which is the reason why he got in trouble with the other Ravager Captains in the first place. It was one of the reason that he didn't tell Quill the truth
and kept him on the ship because he knew what was going on with Ego after a while of dropping off the kids there.
Is the consensus saying that the movie isn't great?

Not gonna lie, I cried when Yondu and Rocket had their moment. The "you're me" line was really powerful to me. Great scene.

The consensus is that it isn't as great as the first and most peeps aren't saying it is the best overall.
I'm not disputing that fact. What I am saying is that Gamora up until this film fails to confront the fact that in spite of the duress she was in while growing up she was also still intimately involved in Nebula's was abuse.
The fact that children are innocent doesn't change even when that notion is hinted at by the Ravager code. However the explicit mention of kids in the Ravager code serves the narrative function of retroactively contextualising why Yondu took Peter in the first place and as an example of a transgression that is seemingly unforgivable so that in the third act Yondu acts to atone for those mistakes. Thus within this context the concept of narrative foreshadowing being a form of trickery ignores the fact that what you'd categorise as a trick (don't harm children) is barely worth labelling as such. Especially because the film goes out of its way to examine said trope in various scenes and from the perspective of various characters - hardly a lazy execution of the trope.
That's basically a summation of the original film. Yes.

I thought that was the whole point, that he didn't know, but when he found out, he saved Peter.
Michael Rooker killed it. He's gonna be at the Comic Con in Detroit here in a couple weeks. I wasn't originally gonna try to see him but now I might. Just to say what's up and that he's awesome in this and Days of Thunder and it's fucked up how he got it in Walking Dead.

Don't set my expectations too high. But a one take fight of T'Challa schooling fools would be sublime.
And Spidey is July 7th in the US. I see it being attached to that.
Infinity War teaser will go in front of Thor.

It was mention that he knew something was up with Ego and that was the reason he kept Peter on the ship.
Nah. I'm guessing Thor will get the second/final Black Panther trailer. Infinity War teaser will be with Last Jedi I bet.

Thought he told Peter he had no idea what Ego was doing to them, but once he figured out he was killing them he kept Peter safe.

That is what I basically said more or less, but maybe I should be more specific in my post.

I ain't ready for all this winning. I still can't believe BP is getting made...and with a director and cast like that.
Alt-right is gonna be lit af and I am gonna love every minute of it.

Vol 1 is so much closer to being a normal sci fi western kind of movie it kinda blow me away that people like it more than Vol 2. Just seeing how these shots are playing out... it feels much more restrained. With Vol 2 I can just feel the confidence in the filmmaking. It's just bursting with style.
And I'm one of those people who say "wow marvel movies look like bad tv shows"

Somewhat off topic, but is Howard the Duck a good movie? His cameo makes me want to see his film.
Yeah he was the funniest character in this movie! I love the humor in this movie as well!

They went so much further with the living planet stuff than I thought they would
Oh, that's whatever then, even if I disagree on it not being better than the first film.

Don't do this to yourself. It was GL's fever dream after ROTJ and before Willow.
It is dreadful.

I'm not sure if you folks are bullshitting or not. Was this ever established in the films? I've seen both films twice in as many days and didn't know this.
Yeah that scene was really great. Yondu really had everyone's number.

I think so. I know that he took a beating in the first film.
Honestly, I loved every other part of their subplot, but that scene really bugged me. I thought it was way too hamfisted and probably didn't need to be spelled out in the text. Even after a second viewing (where most of my quibbles with the pacing evaporated) that scene still bugged me.
I want there to be a scene in Infinity War where Tony sees some space tech and starts geeking out about it to Quill thinking he made it, then Quill motioning to Rocket and Tony realizing that a raccoon is the engineering genius of the group.

Apologies if my post came across wrongly in response to yours.

Oh, the tears will be delicious. And yes, Marvel has stacked the deck with Black Panther.
And looks like Coogler is back with his cinematographer from Fruitville Station. Nice to see that.
Still hoping that Gunn snuck Moya in in the background of some shot somewhere. Or has a member of her crew somewhere in that space bar/brothel that Yondu was at early in the film.

Funny, earlier I was just saying how much I preferred the look (film/shot quality, sets and cg) of the original (but I still love 2). Just a preference more than extreme like vs extreme hate. Both look great overall for their genre.

Yeah, this improper usage of that term is the fucking worst thing.
