Idk what to post so have some sketches i did while being possesed or smth

[caatws]

I saw your post and I don't understand Gunn. What does a real family mean? I'm so confused. He dragged her butt back to the guardians and had her go through all the emotional turmoil of the whole movie for her fake family? Okay I guess but that seems stupid. Does she still get to be sisters with Nebula at least or is that now off the table.

Really though why does nothing about Gamora's story make sense anymore? She fell off a cliff and everything went to shit. I realized that Peter has basically been depressed since 2018 and falling apart drinking since being unsnapped. Nebula had one thing she wanted and that was a sister and she had to go without that for 5 years and then suddenly she gets her back and that's it. The rest of them don't even appear to fully grasp what's been going on. All this stuff happens off camera and then we're in vol 3 and before you know it the story is over.

The only way I can make sense of any of it is to see it as a story of Gamora dying and everything fell apart. Peter decented into a black pit of despair, the guardians couldn't figure out what to. Nebula trying to help running around like a chicken with her head cut off. Then Rocket nearly dies before dealing with his abuser and they all free some people before parting ways at the end. Otherwise the lack of information and explanation of why certain things are happening, have happened and some characters appearing checked out of the situation entirely, is just too much to comprehend. Noone else who died in IW or EG has had this crappy of an emotional follow up or further exploration of character except maybe Heimdall. I just don't understand it.

yeah i totally agree with you anon, like i was just telling some of my friends the other day how i think gamora honestly has like the WORST arc in the mcu bc of this whole thing. like other characters had arcs that ended rly stupidly (like steve lmao) bc they were ooc or did nothing but i think gamora's is like, a separate level of Terrible bc it's not even like she got an ooc ending or regressed or something, her "arc" was her life after thanos just being straight up ERASEDDDD in canon like. my god

and you're so right abt how the other characters who died in iw/eg have been treated better by the narrative in the time since, save for heimdall - like yesterday i was specifically trying to think of gamora's arc vs natasha romanoff's specifically in how both (after being fridged) have been grieved in the canon narratives since then, and, oh man...gamora truly got the worst of the worst here. like, we have gotten to see yelena and clint have actual arcs in their separate grieving processes for natasha (in addition to seeing tony, steve, bruce, and thor all grieve her in endgame), and bc it's become such an integral part of yelena's character specifically, i think it's fair to say we're probably going to see natasha's legacy continue in yelena's future stories

gamora has literally gotten nothing to this extent, bc we only ever see peter and nebula grieve her, and in vol 3 there are TWO TIMES where someone mentions gamora being dead and another character is like Well, Actually, She's Alive, She Just Doesn't Remember ! which essentially creates zero space in the narrative for the rest of the gotg to express grief for her, since it's established that they've apparently all made peace with 2014!gamora existing as a replacement but wanting absolutely nothing to do with them before the film which just seems ??? like you're telling me drax, rocket, mantis, and groot - none of them miss THEIR gamora EITHER ?????

like obviously i get gamora isn't gonna be swayed to do much after 48 hours (although how much time passes in vol 1 before the gotg start deciding they're a team/family....?) esp with the baggage of the original gamora vs 2014!gamora weighing over everything (except that the narrative shows and establishes only peter being the one to be struggling with this baggage, suggesting 2014!gamora could have relationships with the rest of the gotg without this conflict at all lol), but just....idk it's messy! (also when peter tried to gatekeep being a ravager from gamora during that one scene LMAOOO there was something so satisfying in that)

ALSO to continue making a long answer long...considering all the variant character nonsense the mcu has been trying to put us through in recent years with all the multiverse stuff, i think it's fair to look at gamora through that lens. bc that is literally what mcu phases 4 and 5 are abt. the multiverse. and what characters are like in different timelines.

between the loki show and no way home, we get the idea that there are certain values and truths that are inherent to each character no matter what world or timeline they live in - as the loki show so succinctly puts it, "what makes a loki a loki?"

so that brings me to ask, what makes a gamora a gamora?

and i don't think a gamora can exist without being part of the guardians family, so it's disappointing that our onscreen, canon narrative, ends before that can happen, and it's more disappointing that the language of "real family" suggests a conflict with gamora achieving that.

(inb4 someone's like WELL IT'S OPEN-ENDED IT'S WHAT HAPPENS OFFSCREEN AFTER ETC bc yeah i agree that could be a natural next step in 2014!gamora's story. which is the problem. THE STORY IS OVER. we aren't GETTING gamora or the gotg anymore, besides peter allegedly, whatever tf that entails lmao. so no matter how open-ended this is, it's still the last we're seeing of them in canon, so it deserves to be criticized as such - the canon end of the franchise.)

Thank you for asking click on this link for the post you asked thingy; oh lord; ok i can't speak English i am sorry; I am making a post about your "question" because 1. I have little to say but when I start writing I litherally do not stop so I am very sorry and 2. Bc the other post will probably be to long if I rb it. I am a big idiot for litherally forgetting the most iconic moments in atla I am very sorry. Anyway here we go. Buckle up noodles.

Them reacting to Aang dying.

I am pretty sure they would try to deny it at first because: no you can't bring people back from the dead haha that isn't possible and then they freak out; full-on "panic attack" because "if I weren't in prison maybe I could have helped oh Kyoshi how could it happen; did you try to not die???

Them finding out about metal bending I think they would act all cool but would be really shooked and fascinated because no one has ever been able to metal bend!!!! Noone but Toph can sence their excitement.

Zuko joining the gaang would be a little weird to them but they will not show it at all. They have mixed feelings because he did burn down their village basically their home. And I think the only time they would mention it is the moment we saw in the show. They both know it is traumatizing and just don't mention it after Zuko has his very weird apology for burning down their home and Suki and their long and weird appology for trying to kill him.

I think they would be a little sad because the gaang had all those adventures and they allowed themselves to get locked in preason for basically only existing, I am sure they have never been to a dance party and clearly not to a secret one since they are in a war.

I also think they are the biggest painted lady fan. I just think they would be like "GIRLPOWER YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS"

I think they will be a little salty or even feel forgotten but wouldn't show it when Sokka tells them about piandao because Suki was also one of his masters but they just can't work up the courage to tell him because he sounds so proud and happy when he is talking about his master and they don't want to ruin it for him.

I mean. Everything they knew for like 25 episodes or less (probably like 5 months or more) was a red monotone person. Maybe the only "not monotone" part about prison was being tortured since Azula doesn't use empty words

I don't know what more to add but this post is very very long I am very sorry (but also not you gave me a reason to rent about Suki so I did thank you for giving it to meh I love you)
