Gamora not ending up with Peter subvert our “soul-mate” expectations. In another life, Peter and Gamora were soulmates. They grew and made each other better and their love was sincere. But that Gamora is gone.

2014!Gamora isn’t Peter’s Gamora. Just because she could find happiness with him doesn’t mean she should. She found love and happiness with other people and we can’t hold it against her.

Drax was never meant to be a destroyer, and we see it on GOTG 1.

He's the first one who pets rocket. The first one who give the Raccoon a gentle touch. He's the one who talk to Mantis and sympathise in GOTG 2 (in his own way lol) which resulted in her wanting to help the guardians. I guess he's always been a father-like figure.

me after vol. 1: this movie is amazing and this franchise will obviously be all about Star-Lord

me after vol. 2: oh wait, is this actually all about Rocket?

me after vol. 3: this beautiful trilogy about family is a yin/yang tale of Rocket and Peter learning to adjust their boundaries around how much they rely on themselves to deal with trauma vs. how much they rely on other people to deal with trauma

do y'all think mr. udonta bought that silly frog trinket because it reminded him of kraggles' big blue doe eyes :(

I neeedddd to talk about the fact that kraglin looks so sleepy here. He's staring directly at the clerk to make sure he doesn't try anything, but he's also soooo tired looking. Overworked. Underpaid. Forced to be yondus personal bodyguard while he looks at trinkets

So we all know the last shots of vol 2 and vol 3 being of Rocket is significant to him being the stealth protagonist of the trilogy, but what if I told you that even the vol 1 final shot centers his story?

Because it's of him and his friends flying away together.

Into the forever and beautiful sky.

Can we just talk about how Gamora looks at Peter as he reminisces about when he went to Epcot as a kid????

[spoiler] About Rocket's body

Just watched GOTG 1's interview and here's what Gunn said about Rocket's design:

"What if they broke his sternum and streched it out? Because raccoon doesn't really have a chest (like human's)"

And it makes me think about what HE did to Raccoon's bone structure.

Raccoon shoulders are curved to their chest so they can walk quadrupedally, but rocket walking on his two legs require his shoulders to be straightened out (hence the metals). They need to change his C-shaped spine into S-shape like humans, change the length of his arms... and deconstruct his pelvis entirely. Like. Entirely.

Because there's no way that raccoon pelvis can make him walk like a human. Also look at that body. My man looks like a gymnast with narrow waist and everything. While regular raccoons are just. A ball of floof.

Not to mention the brain surgeries he needs to go through.

With him able to lift big ass firearms with tiny hands, they must've replace his bones or muscles into something stronger.

Whatever HE did, feels less like trying to make "something perfect" and more like a child assembling and reassembling his toys because he can.
