Jesus Christ 3/4 through the trailer and Im already tearing up. >_<

 

[Totenkindly]

I'm already choked up.

Don't fail us, James Gunn!

Not sure how much Adam Warlock has to do in this film, he's barely in this trailer, but please let the Gamora thread play out in an honest way.

He hasnt let us down yet...but then this is the darkest time line, phase IV, and a third movie. The stakes have never been higher. I don't think Western Culture can take too many more body blows...

Technically, Phase Four is over. (In so many "stick a fork in it" ways.) Let's go, Phase Five!

its true what they say about unpleasant experiences...phase IV feels longer and more painful than the first four phases and all of the prequil and new sequal trilogies combined. I kept waiting for Pinhead to show up and say to the 4th wall: "You fools, you still don't know where you are do you?"

Explorers huh?

That is a deep lore cutaway Jules. I don't know if casual viewers to the show will get it. Let's run a trailer for our audience:

Yup that's it.

Yup that's it.

I remember seeing this and thinking it was possible along with Goonies when i was a kid.

I've never seen this one. Seems like kind of a goofy premise, haha....

But then that was cinema in the 80's

 

[Totenkindly]

I had never watched it, although obviously I'm curious with Ethan Hawke before I saw him in Dead Poet's.

is the kid in the white labcoat River Phoenix?

Yes. Yes it is. It was a regular who's who of who was at the time.

James Gunn: Adam Warlock is ‘Not A Good Guy’ in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

James Gunn revealed quite a bit of info about Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3‘s Adam Warlock, who is being played by Will Poulter. The director told Empire about Warlock’s role in the upcoming Marvel Studios sequel and where he stands in relation to the Guardians of the Galaxy. “It’s kind of more...

God damn it this one is gonna break me. if they kill rocket Marvel loses me forever Im pretty sure.
But i do think Quill and Nebula is a good ship. StarNebula <3

If it is the natural continuation of a character arc, then I am fine with any outcome. (Like, I didn't like watching Gamora die in Infinity War, but it felt pretty true to me.)

What I hate is when a character is killed amid shit writing, where the death makes no sense or wasn't even necessary or coherent.

But i do think Quill and Nebula is a good ship. StarNebula <3

I will just offer a "gross" barf for Nebula's sake.

Damn, I hope Gamora isn't a total asshole in this film. I am happy Nebula is getting a lot to do. She's had a hell of an arc so far, she's kind of a Charlie Brown of her life -- she's always been second wheel in everything she has tried despite being pretty skilled. It was good to see her articulate her anger to Gamora in GOTG2, seeing the connection between her and Gamora in Infinity War, her intensity with Stark playing table football, her sadness with Rhodey when she gets the infinity stone out of the trap leaving her metal hand smoldering ("I wasn't always this way," she says, slightly chagrinned), and then her ability to accept 2014 Gamora's help ("Eventually we become close. We become friends. We become sisters.")

She's basically gone from being a traumatized highly intense paranoid loser to someone more balanced, someone who can experience her emotions and understand them versus reacting to them, knowing there are people who she can trust and who care about her, and her them now. I'm glad they left her alive in Endgame along with Rocket as the reps for the Guardians during the time heist. It's so teary sad when she quietly gets out of the ship when Captain Marvel gets Tony back to earth and just sits next to Rocket and they hold hands. Karen Gillan just plays this role with such nuance. I remember her back in Endgame with both Nebula's on the screen at once... so sad. "Gamora: You can change. Nebula 2014: He won't let me.")

This is one of those cases where they took the comic book version that was kind of meh / generic and made her into something really cool and unique.

Did I read this trailer right -- that she has a mesh arm now that can reshape itself? I couldn't tell whether that brief shot of the blade was carried or molded from her arm. EDIT: I just frame incremented through, pretty sure it is! Yay for really doubling-down on what being a cyborg can mean!

Also, Drax and Adam Warlock going head to head, wow.

I'm also hoping Gunn keeps going with his track record of picking great 70's hits that aren't necessarily the most played. He does include a few popular songs typically but often is pulling from less traveled but still known tracks.

Thought it was cool they incorporated Rainbow's cover of "Since You've Been Gone" into the trailer.

 

[Totenkindly]

My life is pathetic enough that pretty much I just want to live long enough to see this on May 5-6. I need to know how it ends.

(And if God wants to be nice, let me live long enough to see Dune part 2 in the fall.)

I really need to get a life but I don't think I am going to at this point.
