GOTG3 comedic beats didn’t work as well as in the first two. The Holiday Special didn’t work as well as the first two comedically either. I’m thinking Gunn needs a co-writer for comedy.

Way too much arguing between characters throughout. Nebula had started to warm up on the ship in Endgame, they took her back to GOTG3 in terms of “unlikeability.”

Nice use of Mantis’ powers throughout.

Drax knowing the kids’ language seemed improbable

Editing could have been tightened up. Lot of lingering camera shots on Rocket that could have been cut down (the scene where he is dwelling on the baby raccoons instead of getting them the fuck outta there, for example)

Tearing off HE’s face was excessive and unnecessary. Taking the moral ground to not shoot a guy after tearing his face off seems ridiculous especially since he was a planetary level threat (as in he had already killed a planet full of people)

At the least, take the guy into custody and give him to….I guess the Nova Corps is gone but dude should have been in prison, not left faceless on a ship floor to possibly escape.

Adam Warlock sure took his time saving (extreme spoiler redacted)

Also thought dude would get a chance to avenge (minor spoiler redacted)

I liked it overall. Walked in late due to traffic in the middle of Adam Warlock fighting Drax so wonder how useful the opening minutes were because I didn’t feel like I missed anything

Peace,
