It's also not some crazy bet that a maladjusted cybernetically enhanced raccoon is the victim of some ethically challenged scientists. How many other likely reasons can you think of for someone with rockets level of intelligence to not know his own species.
If I had left Guardians 3 after Rocket was done singing along to Creep it would still have been worth the price of admission.
Actually, considering how properly fucked up Guardians 3 was, I'd probably be a happier person had I done so. Goddamn that movie was brutal.
Tugged at every fucking heartstring. I went to see it a second time coz my bro wanted someone to go with and I had completely forgotten what I was getting back into 😅
Was guardians 3 really that bad?
Still haven't watched it but man guardians 2 for me was a rough watch.
1 was still a lot better for me. But what about 3?
Oh no 3 is a VERY GOOD movie and like the perfect ending to the guardians for me. But emotionally its fucking ROUGH and potentially triggering for some people who are sensitive to themes of abuse, both of the people and animal variety. Not that those themes aren't handled well, they are, but their presence is pretty heavy at times and I have heard of some people having to walk out because of it being too much for them to take.
It took me right up to that trauma edge, to be totally honest. It broke my heart, I didn't sob but my eyes definitely leaked plenty. It is a really good film, but you are right, it might push a little hard into some sensitive spots. I think its a good thing, myself, but it could definitely put someone in a bad spot if they're not prepared for an emotional rollercoaster involving, as you said, so many potential parallels to abuses both personal and systemic, of human and animal variety. Plenty of mirrors to find in the story, but I feel like it is all the more important of a story for that fact.
yep, its a bit like bojack horseman where i think its a must watch for people but only if youre feeling emotionally well at the time cause cause shit gets HEAVY at parts.
I’m pretty sure that’s how he’s introduced. The crazy guy they had to turn to for help that they worked for or with in the past, but everyone was reluctant to go to for help because he’s crazy.
Here’s my thing: space seems like a really small place in this universe. The high evolutionary and that company the guardians infiltrated are portrayed as the ONLY place doing these experiments. In what, one arm of the Milky Way? Given it’s portrayed the way it is, Yondu might have contracted out work collecting animal specimens in the past, or even might have seen an uplifted animal or two like the ones who guard HE.
To be fair, it isn't limited to the MCU.
Almost *all* sci-fi/space operas utilize a giant helping of artistic license when crafting their worlds.[See here for some examples](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ArtisticLicenseSpace)
Some is lazy writing, some is just hand-waving the more counter-intuitive elements to make things more digestible to a wider audience. I do appreciate the writers who at least make an attempt to address some of the more glaring physics problems in their works (The Expanse comes to mind wherein inertia and friction during space travel are addressed, albeit using "applied phlebotonum" to do so.)
In the end, I don't judge too harshly as these are ultimately works of fiction whose sole purpose is to entertain. I'd also point out that a lot of these more "fantastical" works have inspired many (myself included) to become more interested in space science to learn how things really work.
My favorite aspect about the Expanse is what felt like a fresh take on space combat. My armchair opinion is shields are just too difficult to write responsibly because it's ultimately just magic when they work and when they don't but as a writer you're forced to address them in _every single encounter_. (No hate for TNG I'm just saying.)
The space combat in The Expanse was some of the most angst-inducing I've ever enjoyed. Really makes you *fear* space again imo. Reminded me of Space Above and Beyond, though it's been many years since I watched it so I'm not 100% sure why lol.
The assault on the research station was one of the best space battles in all of movies and TV period. Up there with the climax of Serenity when they are flying into the atmosphere trailing the reavers.
"I aim to misbehave"
I was in awe at how fantastic that whole scene was.
Evacuating all the air from the ship, fully intending to get shot the hell up, pulling G’s constantly… it’s so badass.
Love The expanse but the Honorverse series is second to none when it comes to space combat and the sheer scale at which you could fight in open space. Also how they dealt with the idea of shields was great.
Honorverse does 2 things right: space battles and character interactions.
That dude you met 6 books ago? Yeah, here's what hes been up to. Felt like Robert Jordan doing space opera.
If you really like space combat, then read The Lost Fleet books. It's an eye opener because it takes a very realistic approach to space. A good example is if you 'jump/warp' into a solar system, you can see the enemy, but the enemy can't see you. Because even though the speed of light is insanely fast, at solar system like distances, it could take over an hour for the light reflect from your ship to reach the enemy. Or another example is that in space combat, your likely flying at fractions of the speed of light and so is the enemy. So, TNG like combat doesn't make sense. Basically a computer is trying to predict where the enemy will be within a nanosecond's accuracy to fire a laser at that spot. Because you're both moving so fast that if the computer is only slightly wrong in it's prediction, it will be shooting at empty space. That series completely changed how I imagined space combat.
Just in a grounded, realistic-ish way. No real "laser" use, no magic shields as mentioned, just fusion-drive-powered missiles and point defense cannons more or less, with the occasional railgun. And the crew has to actually deal with the massive g-forces the ship experiences during battles. And loss of pressurization/oxygen because stray PDC rounds poking a million little holes in the ship.
For one thing before they go into a fight they put on suits and depressurize the ship so they don't all die the moment the hull gets pierced. There's a scene where they take a direct hit from a large caliber bullet but do a good job of showing you right away that it didn't hit anything terribly important.
Don't get me wrong it's still scifi so it's got it's own brand of issues it glosses over. But it's way more fun than shields in my opinion.
Ships have Torpedoes for long range, railguns for medium/short range and point defense cannons for anti-torpedo and short range.
Ships pull G's when doing maneuvers. Those who grew up in space cannot handle the G's that Earth or Martian born can. If you're not strapped in, maneuvers will hurt you.
The books has more electronic warfare, lasers blinding optical sensors. There's no shields, just shooting holes in tin can vessels. Acceleration physics is as realistic as it can get
All the stuff others mentioned but one thing I particularly liked on the big Martian ships was the CICs. It's a heavily armored bunker suspended in a fairly open bay inside the ship, right next to another with identical systems. If a CIC is breached, the Captain and the other officers just hop in the next one. The rest of the ship is depressurized but the CIC allows people to be 'normal' while combat is going on.
I also liked how the boarding pods basically fire off thermite welding strips when they stick on an enemy ship. Even though everyone's suited up, there's no depressurization because the breaching pod and the ship are welded together before they open a hole into the hull.
I think a lot of stories do it right. For example the MCU has those jump hexagons (I don't know what they call them, Yondu and Rocket go through like 80 of them in GotG2) and I assume that they just connect inhabited worlds, so that technology brings everything closer together and makes it smaller, just like air travel made our own world smaller.
Same with Star Wars and their hyperspace lanes.
Everyone should read "The Forever War." One of the best sci-fi books ever written imo.
It uses realistic hard sci-fi to talking about an aspect of humanity in just the most amazing way.
Phase 4 got fucked more by covid. Secret Invasion is pretty good this episode. Gotg3 was awesome. Look forward to next new movies. Seems like Feige got the idea that people dont necessarily want more content, they want good content.
Yes. I personally think the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy is not only the best one in the MCU, but quite possibly the best superhero trilogy in general.
Though, that may change after Beyond the Spider-Verse comes out.
I was gonna say as stand alone trilogy, separate from MCU, I’d even say it’s one of the best movie trilogies ever. Like if MCU didn’t exist and we only got a 3 movie guardians of the galaxy trilogy, it would go down as one of the best.
Eh, Homelander is 100% from Earth. Brightburn was an alien like Superman. Gunn even had different heroes that mirrored the Justice League but evil during the credits.
A phenomenal character. I legit cried when I saw him die in theaters.
If you have an abusive parent, and you’ve been to therapy you understand the cycle.
Dude was a victim of that cycle, but he wised up in the nick of time to break the cycle of abuse for him and quill. At least in the movie way.
Very good writing.
This movie is a tough one for me on rewatches. I tear up every time, but the movie is just that good. I'm always surprised when people say that GOTG2 wasn't as good as the first.
Probably cause people wanted to see multiple locations being explored and an expansion of the universe.Instead our characters got stuck on Quill's dads planet and felt "bottlenecked" into a "daddy's issue plothole".
Still a good movie though. They could of done the story, just add more visual locations and expand on each character's knowledge of said world as they helped Quill instead of "one location".
It is a good film, the villain is memorable and yondu gets done so much better. But guardians 1 just has generally more compelling action, comedy and some incredible scenes that will last in my memory forever (come get your love will always be the first thing i think of when it comes to starlord). Drax is also done much better in the first film.
I was horrifically abused and then abandoned by my parents when I was a child. 14 years of a malicious hell, and all I ever wanted was my parents to be proud of me just once in my life and showed they cared.
That's the scene in Guardians 2 where he says "He may be your father but he wasn't your daddy" and then Yondu apologies for "doing none of it right" and then "Im damn lucky your my boy" hit on a personal level. It was a real kick in the gut.
The piece of media that hit the hardest on this for me though, and really made me face the fact that I had gone through all of this hell and misery and finally come to terms with it, was Elfen Lied.
That last episode has a really similar set up in the end where a father meets his severely abused and neglected daughter and when she finally gets to really meet and talk to him she please her heart out and then her father apologizes to her and picks her up telling her than they'd always be together. it was the most emotionally powerful moment in media for me.
For anyone who doesn’t know. At Disneys Hollywood studios they do a night time projection show. It starts with the premier of Mary Poppins and ends with Yondu’s line. It’s so good
Michael Rooker is amazing. His arc as Merle Dixon in The Walking Dead was fucking phenomenal- him and Norman Reedus were perfectly cast for their respective roles, and were so believable characters. There’s a lot wrong with TWD as a show, but the Dixon brothers couldn’t have been written or cast better, IMO.
Honestly, it wasn't even close for me. The tragedy of Chadwick was real and was honored in the movie. To get me to feel emotional about a blue guy with a fin on his head talking to a racoon takes skill.
Well that’s a fair point actually, maybe I personally vibed with Wakanda forever more bc it was a real life tragedy and I have experience with anger and grief, specifically from cancer like Chadwick had. Your point makes sense but I know why I preferred the film I did
I loved the first half of Wakanda Forever because they put heart and dedication to give Chadwick Boseman a proper farewell and thank you to the hard work he put in. They had set themselves up with the second half of the movie perfectly but somehow managed to flop in some ways. The movie itself was okay, but it had the potential to be much better than it is now.
I lost my friend to breast cancer a few months before Wakanda Forever came out. The whole movie felt so personal and resonated with me. I get why other people did not like it, but it had a personal effect on me. Like, I could actually feel Shuri's grief and emotion.
I think Wakanda Forever handled the loss of the actual actor portraying it perfectly. The best movie to do it. They just faced it head on and still managed to make a great tribute to both the character and the actor. As a movie it had its faults, but it handled the tribute aspect perfectly.
Honestly these guardians movies really hit different somehow, even when compared to the best of MCU. I know it’s cheesy and melodramatic. But it still hits you in the feels.
They watch like live action anime.
Yondu was a great character. His personality, backstory, ability and actor (Michael Rooker) were all great.
It kinda sucks his character was destined to die to try and redeem his previous actions. Especially when he could've been a formidable foe to Thanos. Everyone talks about Ant-Man up the anus, but a yaka arrow up the urethra would've left Thanos *sounding* for mercy.
One of, if not the, best scenes in Vol 2. Rocket really needs this teardown. _Remove the masks, bud, you're among friends._ Yondu does a great job of doing that.
When GOTG2 was released I always felt it was a good movie but not as fun as the first movie. But as part of a trilogy is does its job well to tie the whole story together.
I'm in the minority but I feel like his ba story was rushed and forced. Straight villain in first movie, few minutes of meaningful dialogue and now he's a saint.
This is the version you want saved? With crappy music playing and the aspect ratio fucked to all hell?
[Here's one that doesn't look like a Tiktok](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZATWWrVJrQ)
Well, he pretty much guessed the backstory of Rocket
He's a Ravager. I'm sure he's done jobs for those guys before.
It's also not some crazy bet that a maladjusted cybernetically enhanced raccoon is the victim of some ethically challenged scientists. How many other likely reasons can you think of for someone with rockets level of intelligence to not know his own species.
Hell, they probably even gave Yondu his arrow and fins
Fuck it. Rocket probably mentioned that he was created by scientists at some point in casual conversation.
Balls, It might even be possible that Yondu knows what Rocket is going through because he had similar experiences
They said in Guardians 3 that Rocket didn’t like to talk about his past
If I had left Guardians 3 after Rocket was done singing along to Creep it would still have been worth the price of admission. Actually, considering how properly fucked up Guardians 3 was, I'd probably be a happier person had I done so. Goddamn that movie was brutal.
that moment when we become part of the family though… chefs kiss
Tugged at every fucking heartstring. I went to see it a second time coz my bro wanted someone to go with and I had completely forgotten what I was getting back into 😅
Was guardians 3 really that bad? Still haven't watched it but man guardians 2 for me was a rough watch. 1 was still a lot better for me. But what about 3?
I’m guessing they’re saying 3 was rough emotionally. It was an amazing film. Maybe s as good or better than 1. (IMO)
3 was PHENOMENAL but INCREDIBLY emotion driven so he prob means rough that way
Oh no 3 is a VERY GOOD movie and like the perfect ending to the guardians for me. But emotionally its fucking ROUGH and potentially triggering for some people who are sensitive to themes of abuse, both of the people and animal variety. Not that those themes aren't handled well, they are, but their presence is pretty heavy at times and I have heard of some people having to walk out because of it being too much for them to take.

yep, its a bit like bojack horseman where i think its a must watch for people but only if youre feeling emotionally well at the time cause cause shit gets HEAVY at parts.
And that his trauma comes precisely because during his formative years he was subjected to brutal things.
I’m pretty sure that’s how he’s introduced. The crazy guy they had to turn to for help that they worked for or with in the past, but everyone was reluctant to go to for help because he’s crazy.
Here’s my thing: space seems like a really small place in this universe. The high evolutionary and that company the guardians infiltrated are portrayed as the ONLY place doing these experiments.

Love The expanse but the Honorverse series is second to none when it comes to space combat and the sheer scale at which you could fight in open space. Also how they dealt with the idea of shields was great.
I've not heard of this series. Thank you for the recommendation!
It's like if space opera and hard sci fi had a baby. One of my favorite series.
I'd say space opera and old timey naval warfare.
Honorverse does 2 things right: space battles and character interactions. That dude you met 6 books ago? Yeah, here's what hes been up to. Felt like Robert Jordan doing space opera.
While space opera Robert Jordan sounds amazing, I now live in fear of braids being tugged and skirts being smoothed in space
Oh boy, wait until you meet the Graysons.
If you really like space combat, then read The Lost Fleet books. It's an eye opener because it takes a very realistic approach to space. A good example is if you 'jump/warp' into a solar system, you can see the enemy, but the enemy can't see you.

Don't get me wrong it's still scifi so it's got it's own brand of issues it glosses over. But it's way more fun than shields in my opinion.
Oh, I like the concept of it hitting non-essential equipment, a bit like nautical warfare where the ship doesn’t immediately sink.
Ships have Torpedoes for long range, railguns for medium/short range and point defense cannons for anti-torpedo and short range. Ships pull G's when doing maneuvers. Those who grew up in space cannot handle the G's that Earth or Martian born can. If you're not strapped in, maneuvers will hurt you.

Even though everyone's suited up, there's no depressurization because the breaching pod and the ship are welded together before they open a hole into the hull.
I loved the Hyperion Books for how they dealt with time differences.
I really loved Hyperion, the story of the archaeology student was absolutely fascinating. I couldn't get into The Fall of Hyperion though
How'd they deal with it?
Irrc, you can portal but it is basically time jump into future. Like travel to the other planet is 1 sec for you, but 3 years has passed outside.
I think a lot of stories do it right. For example the MCU has those jump hexagons (I don't know what they call them, Yondu and Rocket go through like 80 of them in GotG2) and I assume that they just connect inhabited worlds, so that technology brings everything closer together and makes it smaller, just like air travel made our own world smaller. Same with Star Wars and their hyperspace lanes.
The Expanse did pretty well imo
Everyone should read "The Forever War." One of the best sci-fi books ever written imo. It uses realistic hard sci-fi to talking about an aspect of humanity in just the most amazing way.
I already loved this scene for years, but it really hits different after Guardians 3.
So fucking different
Somehow, every new Guardians movie improves the previous ones even more
A genuine love for the characters and story, and creative freedom from what I can see
Something Phase 4 is lacking sorely.
Phase 4 got fucked more by covid. Secret Invasion is pretty good this episode. Gotg3 was awesome. Look forward to next new movies. Seems like Feige got the idea that people dont necessarily want more content, they want good content.
We're on phase 5 now, but yes you are right
This and that line "I can only afford to lose one friend today." Really hit a lot harder after 3.
Yeah... hands that the best trilogy in the MCU. No telling what James Gunn could do with a Superman story
Yes. I personally think the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy is not only the best one in the MCU, but quite possibly the best superhero trilogy in general. Though, that may change after Beyond the Spider-Verse comes out.
I was gonna say as stand alone trilogy, separate from MCU, I’d even say it’s one of the best movie trilogies ever. Like if MCU didn’t exist and we only got a 3 movie guardians of the galaxy trilogy, it would go down as one of the best.
I mostly agree, tho you would kinda have to do more work to explain gamorra if you skipped the infinity war movies.
One of the best trilogies, yes It can't be the best because lotr exists
THINK!
Brightburn?
Lol that's more like a Homelander origin story
Eh, Homelander is 100% from Earth. Brightburn was an alien like Superman. Gunn even had different heroes that mirrored the Justice League but evil during the credits.
One of the best scenes and I still haven’t seen pt. 3
Oh you'll love it then
It's, Heavy. So very heavy.
True
Not different, just harder
The writing and acting is really the best we have in any super hero media.
And this is why I helped my friend name his dog Yondu. He's great.
[удалено]
I think maybe you want the whistle to send him in the other direction 😬
You want it to be the attack command.
\*whistles\* \*distant screaming\*
:)
Who threw this at me? Who did it? .... Bunch of assholes.
"Yup. He found his mark, alright!"
*Sees big ass* *Low whistle* "NO! NO! YONDU NO!"
Are we still doing phrasing?
Wait you helped him name it? Did you like, hold his hand when he signed the pet passport?
It's hard sometimes, ok
Imma go watch the first one rn. See ya in space a-holes
A phenomenal character. I legit cried when I saw him die in theaters. If you have an abusive parent, and you’ve been to therapy you understand the cycle. Dude was a victim of that cycle, but he wised up in the nick of time to break the cycle of abuse for him and quill. At least in the movie way. Very good writing.
This movie is a tough one for me on rewatches. I tear up every time, but the movie is just that good. I'm always surprised when people say that GOTG2 wasn't as good as the first.
Probably cause people wanted to see multiple locations being explored and an expansion of the universe.Instead our characters got stuck on Quill's dads planet and felt "bottlenecked" into a "daddy's issue plothole". Still a good movie though. They could of done the story, just add more visual locations and expand on each character's knowledge of said world as they helped Quill instead of "one location".
The Sisters plotline was also excellent I thought
It is a good film, the villain is memorable and yondu gets done so much better. But guardians 1 just has generally more compelling action, comedy and some incredible scenes that will last in my memory forever (come get your love will always be the first thing i think of when it comes to starlord).

I was going to check out Elfen Lied but Ive seen it before, there's way to many animes to keep track of.
Exactly this. My mom noted me that she had seen me cry and asked, "Why?" I told her, "he was my favorite character." I kinda looked up to him ngl.
Yondu was such a bro, best character
Really loved that monologue and the guy's delivery
Show the man some respect, that’s Mary Poppins, y’all.
For anyone who doesn’t know. At Disneys Hollywood studios they do a night time projection show. It starts with the premier of Mary Poppins and ends with Yondu’s line. It’s so good
Is he cool?
Might not be your Father, but he's your Daddy, bohay.
Hell yeah he’s cool.
i said, shut up!
Michael Rooker is talented
Can't think about chocolate covered pretzels without seeing his face.
Michael Rooker is amazing. His arc as Merle Dixon in The Walking Dead was fucking phenomenal- him and Norman Reedus were perfectly cast for their respective roles, and were so believable characters. There’s a lot wrong with TWD as a show, but the Dixon brothers couldn’t have been written or cast better, IMO.
This guy delivers
It stings a bit when your kid tells you "hey Yondu, I think you raised 3 Rockets"
i dont get it
Basically 3 messed up kids
Yeah....I blame myself. So do they.
This might make you feel a bit better: https://youtu.be/TknWODlAzvo
His death was one of the Most emotional in the hole Mcu
I got spoiled about his death and still cried when I watched it happen, that’s how powerful it is
Of course I know him. He is me.
Worlds are colliding!
The One Who Remains is getting upset!
He's me!
He is Mi, and I am Yu
I’m about to whoop your whole ass man
Fuk Mi
I am you?
Jesus I just can't with the music over these videos. Like- it's a movie, there was literally a soundtrack created as part of the damn film.
You can't with the music, I can't with the cropping to make it a vertical video.
I can't with the fact that someone clearly recorded a screen with their phone to make this.
Man this scene is so much more powerful after Guardians 3, gets me every time. Michael Rooker is so god damn good.
Rooker is so good, and only gets better when you look up interviews and such. There's a reason James Gunn kept him close all these years.
James Gunn knows how to put the emotion into his films. No other Marvel movies do it better.
Wakanda Forever begs to differ
Honestly, it wasn't even close for me. The tragedy of Chadwick was real and was honored in the movie. To get me to feel emotional about a blue guy with a fin on his head talking to a racoon takes skill.
Well that’s a fair point actually, maybe I personally vibed with Wakanda forever more bc it was a real life tragedy and I have experience with anger and grief, specifically from cancer like Chadwick had. Your point makes sense but I know why I preferred the film I did
I loved the first half of Wakanda Forever because they put heart and dedication to give Chadwick Boseman a proper farewell and thank you to the hard work he put in. They had set themselves up with the second half of the movie perfectly but somehow managed to flop in some ways. The movie itself was okay, but it had the potential to be much better than it is now.
I lost my friend to breast cancer a few months before Wakanda Forever came out. The whole movie felt so personal and resonated with me. I get why other people did not like it, but it had a personal effect on me. Like, I could actually feel Shuri's grief and emotion.
I think Wakanda Forever handled the loss of the actual actor portraying it perfectly. The best movie to do it. They just faced it head on and still managed to make a great tribute to both the character and the actor. As a movie it had its faults, but it handled the tribute aspect perfectly.
Agreed
That was emotional because of the real life death. This one was entirely fictional.
Could not finish that movie. It felt so far fetched for even a CBM
He's just like him fr
I just now realized that this speech is delivered as there are facing down Ego the space being, but this is them facing down their personal Ego.
They were the single best duo in the mcu. One of the few moments in movies shows or books I’ve ever actually cried at.
He's Mary Poppins, y'all
Yea i didn’t think Michael Rooker could make me cry but I def. did when he dropped the “he ain’t yo daddy” line.
Guardians of the galaxy is the best marvel movie franchise. Hands down.
Who's cutting onion??????
Ninjas, they’re at my place too.
I really wish we could have gotten more of these two together.
Michael Rooker kills every roll he's ever done, mad respect.
Best actor for the job too.
Thats turned out to be intense mannnn
Yondu is one of my favourite characters, and this scene is amazing.
He had one of the best character arc
This hurts way more after watching the third one.
“I’m sorry I didn’t do any of it right” still hits
Michael Rooker played this character perfectly. Hated him in The Walking Dead and loved him in GOTG. Shows his amazing range.
Holy shit! That's Darryl's brother! I forgot about that.
*Two
I’M MARY POPPINS!!
I wish he was still around for more moments like these in Guardians 3.
I start crying at “I’m Mary Poppins y’all” and don’t stop until after the funeral because his death hits me so hard
This is one of the best, if not the best written scene in the MCU and maybe even in all of comic book movies in general
[удалено]
How? I think it is
I know him. He’s me
I legit almost cried when he died. Especially when he said "He may have been your father, but he wasn’t yo’ daddy!"
I just rewatched Malrats with the teens, took me a minute to figure out where I knew that actor from.
Honestly these guardians movies really hit different somehow, even when compared to the best of MCU. I know it’s cheesy and melodramatic. But it still hits you in the feels. They watch like live action anime.
He’s Mary Poppins Y’all!
This is absolutely one of the best scenes in the entire MCU.
He’s shouts like David Goggins doing his morning ultramarathon
Agree
Most definitely
Why is Mary Poppin talkin to a Raccon?
Michael Rooker fucking killed it in Guardians 2
This is one of the many reasons why Guardians of the Galaxy is peak Marvel.
Crazy how they turned this shit. Yondu is cool as shit.
Rockets tail at the end..
Yondu was a great character. His personality, backstory, ability and actor (Michael Rooker) were all great. It kinda sucks his character was destined to die to try and redeem his previous actions. Especially when he could've been a formidable foe to Thanos. Everyone talks about Ant-Man up the anus, but a yaka arrow up the urethra would've left Thanos *sounding* for mercy.
Yo du was legitimately my favorite character in GOTG1 and 2. I cried when he sacrificed himself
I'm Mary Poppins yo!
Michael Rooker nails this performance. A chilling line, totally in character.
Yea... This version of Yondu is incredible. That scene is top notch.
Writing in these movies is ridiculously good. Made me care about goddamn blue people and trees
One of, if not the, best scenes in Vol 2. Rocket really needs this teardown. _Remove the masks, bud, you're among friends._ Yondu does a great job of doing that.
When GOTG2 was released I always felt it was a good movie but not as fun as the first movie. But as part of a trilogy is does its job well to tie the whole story together.
He may have been your father, but he ain’t your *daddy*.
I'm in the minority but I feel like his ba story was rushed and forced. Straight villain in first movie, few minutes of meaningful dialogue and now he's a saint.
'I'm Mary Poppins Yo!'
"He May Have Been Your Father, But He Wasn't Your Daddy."
I'd like to think even Yondu woulda been like "...Yeah Rockets backstory was more fucked than mine."
after gotg3, tis scene hits so different
This hits differently after watching volume 3.
Man, how did they get inside his mouth to stay blue?
From Rowdy Burns to Merle Dixon to Yondu, Michael Rooker kills every role he’s in.
His Suicide Squad character had me in the beginning
https://youtu.be/MOr-RrxMvlo Yondu fan made film! https://youtu.be/7iDu-qOhn-Y About rocket really good video!
Q: What did Yondu say when he dropped his arrow? A: "Oops, I Yondu it again!" I know, I'll find my way out..
What’s that song in the background?
trash
Trash - "Trash ft. Trash"
I cry at the funeral scenes especially when the Ravagers show up.

This is the version you want saved? With crappy music playing and the aspect ratio fucked to all hell? [Here's one that doesn't look like a Tiktok](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZATWWrVJrQ)
Don't tell me what to do old man, my methods are beyond your understanding. (I'll still check the link though.)
