First off, bravo (again) to James Gunn for being able to weave so many pieces together in an intricate yet meaningful manner. He utilized the foundation of the first to create the ever-present theme of family and then created multiple other threads to provide depth into each character. The balance of the films are their true strength imo....the humor, the style, the fun action, and the depth.

If the third continues the lineage of the first two, it will be the best trilogy in the Marvel universe. Will definitely watch it again while in theaters.
