#more than anything tho tbh nat and gamora just needed to not be fridged 😭

I was browsing through your blog and wanted to say all of your vol 3/general gotg comments have been delightful. It's given me so much to think about and also helped me process some of my own thoughts/concerns/questions. It's also awesome people have felt safe to get a little more personal about the different aspects of representation in all of this and that's been both fun and eye opening and even a much needed learning experience.

Also I especially was intrigued by your comments around Gamora and Natasha and how they have been treated when it comes to similarities and differences. Not sure if you would be up for it but I would love to read even a short write up or breakdown from you about even just 2 or 3 things you think vol 3 could have done better when handling both Gamora's death and 2014 Gamora's role and something you think both Natasha and Gamora could have used/deserved story wise in IW/EG after they died.

Thanks anon 💖 I’m glad we can all discuss and process this stuff together bc there are so many layers to it and so many povs to consider!

And ooh I love that question! As far as vol 3 goes, I think the most general thing that could’ve been done - and I would say this could go for the holiday special too - is just incorporating grieving gamora into each character’s arc more. The ways peter would talk to 2014!gamora abt how things used to be - it would’ve been nice to see the other characters make the occasional comment abt their own individual friendships with gamora or calling back to specific moments from vol 1/2. Showing gamora that peter isn’t the only one who misses the “future” her or whatever, which could be both an opportunity for more conflict between gamora and the rest of the team at the beginning of vol 3 and as well as an opportunity for gamora to get to know the team better and maybe even warm up to them more over time.

I do still generally like how starmora was handled as well, but I think it would’ve been interesting to see more of how Peter feels abt not being able to keep his promise of killing gamora before thanos did. Like him talking to 2014!gamora abt it or something. Like I’ve said before, I think the mcu has acted generally uwu and evasive of rly considering the deeper impact and significance behind the manner in which gamora died so it would’ve been nice for someone to at least acknowledge the horror of it in vol 3 in some way

Definitely what nat and gamora needed in iw/eg after their deaths more than anything was just a goddamn funeral like Tony got 🤬 tho it also would’ve been cool to see gamora and nat meet in the soul world in eg after nat’s death. I also think it would’ve been nice if they could’ve been given some agency and been able to help from “inside” the soul stone or something during the final battle
