I thought they were going to go for the obvious "It's a she, dude" but I'm so fucking glad they did not.

I feel like it was to show how he's changed since "it's way worse" regarding the trash panda comment to Rocket earlier. No need to keep being a professional dick in these situations. Great stuff.

What sells it is Yondu's gusto saying "I'M MARY POPPINS Y'ALL!", he's so proud of it once Peter tells him he's cool haha
 
Wow, it never clicked that Kurt Russel in the beginning was a CGI de-aged version. It looked completely convincing to me; I haven't seen a movie with young Kurt in years, so I didn't make the connection. Thought it was a different actor or make-up

It was the most convincing de-aging tech I've seen in a film.

I wonder if they used faceapp lol.

Ant-Man, Civil War and now this. Marvel really loves this shit.

MCU de agings are really great, except for robert downey jr on civil war, it still gives me the creeps

Gunn being Gunn, I'd say it was probably intentional. Quite a few of the names are super obscure deep dives (Kraglin, Taserface, etc) and he's explicitly thrown in super obscure characters (Eson the Seeker, a whole movie based around Ego the Living Planet), so he had to have known the weight a character talking about "eternity" would have.

He also had Ego call himself a Celestial.

I was hoping he would see Eternity, and they could have had a silhouette go past his cosmic eyes or something.


it would have also been better if by gaining cosmic understanding he would have revealed Ego's plan without the mustache twirling infodump about the tumour.
 
It's an obvious allusion to Eternity, the character. It does not mean he literally saw Eternity. Or if he did, I doubt Peter could fully comprehend what he was seeing yet.

That shit hurts now :( Yondu nooooo you blue bastard



Y'all can thank Tron Legacy for this!

People shit on Clu, but given how prominent a role he had in the film, I think it was really good for it's time. Especialyl looking at things like X-Men and Terminator, where characters were showing up for all of 15 seconds and still looked like crap.
 
I really loved this movie a lot! Only disappointing thing for me was that Chris Pratt REALLY could not handle the emotional moments of the movie of which there were a lot. I thought his acting for those was really distractingly hammy. Nebula and Gamorra scenes fared better.

Teenager Groot gives me life though. Papa Star and him was amazing short though it was.

Cool. So anytime someone references death, we'll just go ahead and assume they're talking about Lady Death as well, and not the general, widely used concept.
Click to expand...
Considering that the character Death is a physical manifestation of the concept of death, and we are about to get a movie based on a book that has her as a pivitol character, that wouldnt be the craziest assumption to make.

Technically, even if they don't know that she has a physical manifestation, they would still be talking about her by merely talking about the concept.

This is kind of like what I was saying about Eternity with this post earlier:
MoonsaultSlayer said:
But...

How would just simply seeing eternity be some kind of temptation to get him to join? Unless there was some kind of promise of "becoming" Eternity itself.

Maybe it isn't a being but a personified form of a state of mind or something like being one with the universe in the MCU but alluding to the being that is referenced in GotG as linked earlier.

Unlike other MCU de-ageing, Kurt Russel's was mostly done using make-up, with some CGI touch up.

http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/05/marvel-guardians-of-the-galaxy-vol-2-kurt-russell

Russell was so proud of the feat that when he bumped into a woman from the C.G.I. department at the Guardians of the Galaxy premiere, he told her just that.

"She said, ‘What do you think of what we did to you?' And I said, ‘Well, it's my understanding that you guys didn't have to do a whole lot. It was pretty much what we shot live touched up.' She said, ‘That's true.' "

And then Russell gave her a bit of feedback, the sort that you—the begrudging recipient of Hollywood's mega-budgeted, mega-C.G.I.-ed franchise movies—may wish you could give Hollywood yourself. But he delivered his criticism in the most charmingly Kurt Russell way possible.

"I said to her, ‘You know, this is what makes it, I think, look more natural because there's not that creep factor to it. You know what I mean? It doesn't have that.'"

Alright, so my galactic Marvel knowledge isn't quite up to par.
What is (Drakar?) and his crew called (from the post credit scene)? It's not the Starjammers, right?

it's one thing to have a focus on him while something happens, it's another to crank up the length

The opening scene is meant for Groot. The comedy is that this upbeat music is playing while this happy little tree is dancing, while some serious shit is happening in the background.

Damn lol

Yeah and it would have been better if it wasn't very long like that.

It's the same problem with the "find my fin" gag.

The only time they did it right was at the end really. If it was obnoxious like the previous two Rocket would have repeated the instructions for the third time.

agreed, totally agreed

The intro isn't about the crew killing the monster though until the speakers are destroyed. It's purpose is to be an intro with Groot there while shit pops off in the background. It doesn't take away from anything since that is the main focus

Right, he said eternity. Because space is vast and forever. I doubt they're name dropping some celestial that Quill probably never heard of, nor would he or the general audience give a shit about. It just doesn't work in the context of the scene, regardless of "stars and shit".
Click to expand...
Eternity is composed of the essence of all living things. Ego, staying true to his name, wanted to supplant the essence of all living things with himself, thus becoming Eternity.
He was showing his son what they
he
could become.
