Timelapse (with music)

sorry i love guardian's of the galaxy vol 3's ending SO much, i just finished it like maybe not even a hour ago but here are my immediate thoughts. spoilers btw

i just...i love how they went their separate ways (<- temporarily and partially). just...they are found family and they love each other so much but in my opinion they were getting kinda toxic. like not even with nebula constantly yelling at the crew (i still love her though)

like we see at the start with peter yelling at rocket. we see it with mantis using her powers to make drax forget about her calling him stupid. we see it with draw lying to mantis about where they were going on the motorcycle. we see it with peter not defending nebula's insults at mantis or drax. we see it when mantis asks drax to give peter the advice she wanted to give him because "nobody takes her seriously". we see that with drax going against what peter, and everyone asked of him (repeatedly!). hell! we see it as mantis is trying to leave with drax saying he'll need to follow to protect her

i'm not saying they were bad people or bad friends or anything like that though! they have their flaws and i'm SO happy they do (love flawed characters). and i absolutely adore how they are with each other and i love them all so much

but we can obviously see that tensions are running high and it's getting to them. like mantis being insecure, comparing them to egor, and leaving. drax's jab at nebula about how "she didn't ask" for him knowning the higher children's language. them constantly yelling at eachother (like in that scene in the house with the killed species for example)

just i'm so happy they set them in paths where their stories can advance independently to each other (for some)

i'm going to love when they return to each other and maybe won't have as big of issues like that! ...that is if marvel does that...which i hope for...

Mantis 💛

It was incredibly touching seeing her growth throughout volumes 2 and 3. If she’s happy I’m happy

Participated in @bugborgweek2023 for day 2: touch!

Let me know your thoughts <3

Just wanted to post a theory I had in the leadup to Vol3!

Mantis

[wanderingmind867]

In the first 160 Avengers comics, I think the Avengers only had three female members: The Wasp, Scarlet Witch and Mantis. Technically, Hellcat and Moondragon are also featured for a while too, but I don't think they ever became official members. But you know, they may not have had many female members, but the ones they had were good characters.

I'll admit Wasp is weak, but she's at least got a compelling character. To make up for the weakness of her powers, she at least feels like a fun character. Meanwhile, Scarlet Witch is the best of their female members. Her powers originally made no sense (she'd really just point at stuff and have other stuff happen), but agatha harkness teaches her how to use her powers and be a formidable witch. And plus: I'm a sucker for magic. So the more magic the better.

And finally, there's Mantis. I love Mantis. She's weird and mystical and amazing. There's just one problem: she's only there for around 30 issues before she leaves for space (and then we don't see again till the late 80s). So unless you want to read her camoes at DC and Eclipse Comics, Mantis is unused from 1975 to at least 1985. And that's a horrible shame.

The Infinity watch as incorrect quotes.

Gamora: Pip is late again.

Drax: How did this happen? I called them at 8 o’clock this morning and pretended it was 11.

Adam: I printed up a fake schedule for them saying we were starting at 9 instead of noon.

Heather: I set their clock to say PM when it’s really AM.

Gamora: Oh boy. We may have overdone it.

*Pip bursts through the door* Pip: WHAT TIME IS IT?

Heather: Look guys, I need help.

Drax: Love help?

Pip: Financial help?

Adam: Emotional help?

Gamora: Help moving a body?

*Everybody looks at Gamora*

Gamora: What?

Pip, about Gamora and Adam: My god, would you two just get a room already?

Adam: Excuse me, Pip?

Pip: You both just keep agreeing about horrifying things and relishing everybody else's misery. So seriously, when's the wedding?

Gamora: ...

Heather: I ship it!

Drax: CAN YOU NOT?

Gamora: Guys, I’ve been meaning to tell you… Adam and I are dating.

Adam, Heather, Pip, and Drax: *gasp*

Gamora: Adam, why are you surprised?!

Gamora: Time for plan G.

Heather: Don’t you mean plan B?

Gamora: No, we tried plan B a long time ago. I had to skip over plan C due to technical difficulties.

Pip: What about plan D?

Gamora: Plan D was that desperate disguise attempt half an hour ago.

Drax: What about plan E?

Gamora: I’m hoping not to use it. Adam dies in plan E.

Adam: I like plan E.

Pip: Hey, what have you two been doing?

Heather: we were helping Gamora with her wedding vows and we were kicked out of her house for making it inappropriate.

Drax: How is “Nice ass, Adam” inappropriate?

Adam: Who the fuck broke the toaster?

Drax: It was Gamora.

Pip: It was Gamora.

Heather: Gamora broke it.

Gamora:

Gamora: ...yOU PROMISED-

Pip: Are we really going to let Heather keep Drax?

Adam: We kept Gamora.

Adam: I didn't drink that much last night.

Pip: You were flirting with Gamora.

Adam: So what? She's my partner.

Pip: You asked if she was single.

Pip: And then you cried when she said she wasn't.

Pip: ....Thou shalt not marry each other, for thy art both sinful...

Gamora: I just wanna fucking marry Adam!!

Gamora, pointing to Adam’s empty room: YOU LET THEM ESCAPE?!?

Pip: I WAS ON BREAK.

Gamora: Something tells me Pip's going to be a bit more unhinged today...

Pip, holding a lit match and a bag of cheetos: Leave me be, Adam isn't home to stop me, I'm going feral.

Heather: What’s something you guys are better than Gamora at?

Adam: Mario Kart.

Pip: Yeah, video games.

Drax: Emotional vulnerability.

Adam: You're a loose cannon, Gamora.

Gamora: No, I'm not. I'm a cannon maybe, but a loose cannon? Is that what you think of me?

Pip: I think you play by your own rules.

Heather: No way, they think rules were made to be broken.

Adam: Those are all attributes of a loose cannon.

Gamora: No, I'm just a reckless renegade. Drax is a loose cannon.

Drax: *smashes a chair*

Drax : Fine! Judge all you want but...

Drax , points at Heather : Married a lesbian.

Drax , points at Adam : Left a man at the altar.

Drax , points at Gamora : Fell in love with a gay ice dancer.

Drax , points at

Maxum : Threw a girl’s wooden leg in a fire.

Drax , points at Pip : Lives in a box!

Adam : Gamora kissed me!

Maxum : Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!

Adam : It was unbelievable!

Maxum : Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!

Pip : Okay, we wanna hear everything. Maxum , get the wine and unplug the phone. Adam , does this end well or do we need tissues?

Adam : Oh, it ended very well.

Maxum : Do not start without me! Do not start without me!

Pip : Okay, alright, let’s hear about the kiss. Was it a soft brush against your lips or was it like a, you know, “I gotta have you now” kind of thing?

Adam : Well, at first it was really intense, you know? And then, oh God, and then we just sort of sunk into it.

Pip : Ohh... So, okay, were they holding you? Or were their hands on your back?

Adam : First they started out on my waist and then they slid up and then they were in my hair.

Maxum and Pip : Ohhh.

*meanwhile* Gamora eating pizza in their house: And, uh, and then I kissed them.

Heather : Tongue?

Gamora : Yeah.

Drax : Cool.

Pip : If I fall…

Adam : I’ll be there to catch you.

Heather : *looks at Drax * What if I fall?

Drax : Then I’ll fall with you, never leaving your side.

Maxum : *watches these two interactions*

Maxum , to Gamora : And if I fall?

Gamora : I’ll be the one who pushed you.

*Everyone is standing around the broken coffee maker*

Adam: So, Who broke it? I'm not mad, I just wanna know.

Everyone:

Maxum: ...I did.I broke it.

Adam: No, no you didn't. Drax?

Drax: Don't look at me. Look at Heather.

Heather: What?!I didn't break it.

Drax: Huh, that's weird. How'd you even know it was broken?

Heather: Because it's sitting right in front of us and it's broken.

Drax: Suspicious.

Heather: No, it's not!

Pip: If it matters, probably not, but Gamora was the last one to use it.

Gamora: Liar! I don't even drink that crap!

Pip: Oh really? Then what were you doing by the coffee cart earlier?

Gamora: I use the wooden stirrers to push back my cuticles. Everyone knows that, Pip!

Maxum: Okay let's not fight. I broke it. Let me pay for it, Adam.

Adam: No! Who broke it!?

Everyone:

Drax: Adam... Gamora’s been awfully quiet.

Gamora: REALLY?!

*Everyone starts arguing*

Adam, being interviewed: I broke it. I burned my hand so I punched it.

Adam: I predict 10 minutes from now they'll be at each other's throats with warpaint on their faces and a pig head on a stick.

Adam: Good. It was getting a little chummy around here.

Thanos: Adam , what do IDK, LY, and TTYL mean?

Adam: I don’t know, love you, talk to you later

Thanos: Ok, I love you too, I’ll just ask Pip.

Adam: Yo is Thanos sleeping or dead?

Gamora : Hopefully dead, I hated their guts.

Pip : Yeah, so did I.

Thanos: Okay first of all, fuck you-

Adam: *Gently taps table*

Gamora : *Taps back*

Pip : What are they doing?

Heather: Morse code.

Adam: *Aggressively taps table*

Gamora : *Slams hands down* YOU TAKE THAT BACK-

Adam: We need more help. Maybe I should call my friends.

Gamora : ... Your what?

Adam: My friends.

Pip: Are they saying “friends”?

Heather: I think they're being sarcastic.

Drax: No, no, no, this is delirium, they've cracked from being awake all night. Hey, Adam! All of your friends are in this room.

Adam: I have other friends! You asked me to make new friends, I made new friends! It was a task. I complete tasks.

Adam: I think we're missing something.

Gamora : Teamwork?

Pip: Cohesion?

Heather : A general sense of what we’re doing?

Adam, setting down a card: Ace of spades

Gamora , pulling out an Uno card: +4

Pip, pulling out a Pokémon card: Jolteon, I choose you

Heather, trembling: What are we playing

Adam: You have to apologize to Maxum

Gamora: Fine.

Gamora: unfuck you or whatever

Drax: Hey Adam ,

Adam : Yes?

Drax: Can a person breathe inside a washing machine while it’s on?

Adam :

Adam : Where’s Pip?

Gamora : If you want my advice-

Heather : No offense but you’re the last person I want relationship advice from. You tried to kill your significant other. Multiple times.

Gamora : First off, that was before we started dating. Secondly, they’ve also tried to kill me.

Adam : It’s true. It was mutually attempted murder.

Adam , holding a rock: Gamora just gave this to me and said "I feel like you deserve the moon but all I can give you is a rock".

Pip : If you don't marry her, I will.

Adam , pointing at Heather : Are they a Freak (derogatory)?

Adam , pointing at Phyla : Or a Freak (affectionate)?

Gamora : Why not both?

Adam , to Gamora : You’re so right, Freak (double-edged sword)!

Heather : Why is Adam crying on the floor?

Phyla : They're drunk.

Heather : And?

Phyla : They saw a picture of Gamora 's spouse. Heather : But they're Gamora 's spouse.

Phyla : I know.

Adam : *sees Phyla and Heather together*

Adam : They're cute. I would put them on a boat.

Gamora : You mean... you ship them?

Adam : I love you. Gamora : I love you too. I've waited so long to hear you say that.

*Adam and Gamora kiss passionately*

Pip , to Drax : You owe me 20 dollars

Gamora : That's ridiculous, Adam doesn't have a crush on me.

Heather : Yes they do.

Pip : Yes they do.

Adam : Yes I do.

Heather : Why do you look like that?

Adam , laying face-first on the floor: Like what?

Heather : Like you’re dead.

Adam : It’s because I’m dying. Leave me here to perish.

Pip: Adam accidentally called Gamora “babe” in front of everyone today.

Adam : *sobs into the floor*

Phyla : *about Adam and Gamora * They make a cute couple, huh?

Heather : They certainly are standing next to each other.

Heather : The floor is lava!

Phyla : *helps Adam onto the counter*

Peter: *kicks Gamora off the sofa*

Gamora : *lays on the floor*

Mantis : ... Are you okay?

Gamora : No.

Pip : Imagine if someone handed you a box full of all the things you lost throughout your life.

Heather : It would be nice to have my sense of purpose back...

Gamora : Oh wow, my childhood innocence! Thank you for finding this.

Adam : My will to live! I haven't seen this in years.

Peter: I knew I lost that potential somewhere.

Phyla : Mental stability, my old friend!

Pip : Jesus, could you guys lighten up a little?

Heather : What's worse than a heartbreak?

Pip : Waking up in the morning and your phone wasn't charging.

Drax : Waking up in the morning.

Adam : Waking up.

Gamora : Waking up in the morning...

Gamora : And seeing Maxum.

Maxum: Hey! Rude!!

Adam: Stressed.

Gamora : Depressed.

Maxum: Possessed.

Heather : Obsessed.

Pip : Impressed.

Drax : Chicken breast.

Everyone: ...What?

Drax : I just wanted to join in.
