It's well made, despite all the bad jokes

I'm going to start ironically winking with the wrong eye because of this movie

Also, there is nothing wrong with Reddit

I am groot!!!

>>I'm going to start ironically winking with the wrong eye because of this movie

theres a wrong and right eye to wink?

Scenes you found legitimately funny?

>groot with the human toe

And gags you thought were bad ideas or were delivered poorly?

>Nebula's it isn't ripe

What was the moral of the story?

What did you learn about humanity from it?

Be as verbose as you'd like.

it was Nebulas delivery.

Evil old white guy tries to eradicate all the races after colonizing their planets

Don't trust them

Scenes you found legitimately funny?

>the first time Drax called Mantis ugly

And gags you thought were bad ideas or were delivered poorly?

>the third time Drax called Mantis ugly

>the third time Drax called Mantis ugly

it really was reddit at points with it's own jokes.

>Pacman
>Mary Poppins Yall
>Baby Groot dancing at the start
>Asteroids turds
>Raccoon winking

And the bad:
>Stan Lee's parts
>That Thor trailer
>Stabbing from the inside LOL

I lol'd at Pete taking out a David Hasselhoff picture

No, it's a good movie.

stop dude, you seriously gotta stop

Which was the thor trailer again?

Did anyone have dumbasses in their audience that only laughed at the slapstick parts?

Bravo, Hollywood.

>he has an ego the size of a planet and he is a planet.

I bet jeff bridges was the only thing that stopped the execs from making ego look more like Trump.

Not him but I have an eye I'm good at winming with and one I'm bad with

This is an adult board, kiddo

You finally discovered true KINO

>Mary Poppins
>Rocket winking
>Drax/Mantis interactions
>(i thought the ripe thing was funny)
>Quill/Rocket banter
>Nebula talking to Yondu's first mate
>Yondu's crew being retarded

>Pacman
>anything with Groot
>Taserface
>benis :DD
>Drax over laughter

Also fuck Stan Lee he is not funny

reddit just copies Sup Forums at this point, in an attempt to seem intellectual.

It's the ultimate irony, since kino isn't real

>Taserface

I almost forgot those scenes, christ

>benis

the benis part was one of the more enjoyable Drax/Kurt interactions

Taser face was stupid but the lart where the yellow bitch laughed killed me

>Everything Drax

Do you find it funny because he says the most stereotypical things conceptually possible in the most predictable fashion possible?

steph pls

Yeah I really enjoyed the Sovereign parts actually

Father and son shit always gets me right in the feels.

>Stan Lee's parts
You best be joking

>Colbert posting

Yes I love Russian/Barbarian stereotypes

>colbert and BLACKED
that is all reddit is

>Pedo posting

>The fuck is this

>Yondu's crew being retarded

Did I miss this?

I thought that Rocket's wrong eye blink and pushing people away attitude would lead towards something more, like his body falling apart.

The part where Rocket offers Yondu his batteries in exchange for letting him and Groot free. He says "They're worth a quarter million each" and the crew has no idea what "quarter of a million" means

>like his body falling apart

wh-what?

when Rocket showed Drax that he swiped the batteries and Drax burst out laughing

Or Drax/Rocket interactions in general, even though there wasn't a lot of them

>"Jeff Bridges"
TRIGGED

HEY, A QUARTER'S ONLY 25!

James Gunn fucks Karen Gillan

He said welcome to the fr*cking guardians of the galaxy.

But he didn't say "fr*cking"

Who else saw this movie with their mom?

Mine always says that she usually doesn't like superhero movies "except for that one with the raccoon" so I figured she might enjoy this. She did. Dad came along too. It's great how even old folks like them - who's only memories of the first movie were that it had a tree guy with a raccoon and that they thought it was funny - are still able to follow the plot so easily.

parents will love the musical score in the very least

>The one person Rocket could relate to is dead

>tfw rocket goes from being Peter's friend and rival to being his new dad
>Peter will shirk this by directing attention to teenage Groot

I'm expecting the vice versa tbqh

That's not a joke. That's poor worldbuilding.

Did you watch the movie?

wasn't mad at this showing up

they had him show up like 3 times, too

what are the odds of Howard actually doing something in the third movie instead of just being a running gag?

realistically I'm expecting some kind of warp gate shenanigans at some point and they end up on Duckworld for a second before teleporting off and Howard makes a joke about it, kinda like the Stan the Watcher bit

Same.

Especially since I recently found out I can't have kids, it hits that much harder.

kind of. There was humor that I thought was really dumb where I could hear other people cracking up, while there were other parts where it seemed like only myself and a few others were laughing, and still more parts that everyone seemed to be laughing at (myself included).

The lame jokes that I didn't find funny were totally forgiven over the ones that I genuinely did, and I think most people felt the same way, even though everybody has a different sense of humor.

>implying Kurt Russell, Jeff Bridges and Kris Kristofferson aren't all the same guy

Do i have to watch it to understand that the english-speaking people use idioms all the time? If these space people and earth man are all conversing in what appears to be english and they share countless other idioms without questioning it, then how is casting a light on it for a cheap joke anything other than poor storywriting and worldbuilding?

Why does drax even miss out on jokes hidden in subtext? Is he fluent in earth english and just bad at it or is something translating or conveying their intentions to each other? I saw the first one and i don't recall them establishing some magic babel fish or some shit. They just talk to each other as nonsensically as when Rey understood Chewbacca.

This.
Good:
>Soundtrack is stellar, even liked the Star Wars disco album reference at the end.
>CGI and practical effects mixed nicely, even some Evil Dead style stop motion in there!
>Rocket winking, plus Rocket not giving a single fuck.
>Yondu's character.
>Dialogue was full of gags, but it was all in good fun.
>Kurt Russel!
>Mary Poppins Y'all will be a meme on Sup Forums, mark my words.
>Drax being the king of Autism.
>Stan Lee's cameos now make sense.
>Stunning visuals, so bright!

Bad:
>Baby Groot dragged on
>Gaint turds
>Honestly prefer big Groot
>Tone could've used some seriousness but it was all fun

Do you think it would have benefited from the removal of the flat jokes? Used the time for portraying the setting with respectful, if not actually serious tone?

Do people honestly need a lame quip after every event? Who does that? I see autistic people try, is that who writes this shit?

Oh god it is...

English is more like "basic" and it's there because it's convenient for the audience.

Drax misses out on some cues because it's funny. You're not watching a serious science fiction film here, although there are a few dramatic moments.

>how does Luke understand R2
>how does Rocket understand Groot
these questions just serve to undermine what makes the film fun

Sorry man, that sucks.

You shpuld watch it to know that it it was in a comedic context and that they couldn't understand as a result of being dumb, not as a result of their poor english.

Drax misses jokes because his species is very literal, for instance, "Nothing goes over my head, I would catch it."

>caring about what Reddit thinks
That's how you know you're Reddit. Go back, user.

Was the statement:
>"He says "They're worth a quarter million each" and the crew has no idea what "quarter of a million" means"
Incorrect? How does that work exactly? It's an idiom, they always speak in idioms. Everyone everywhere does.

>how does Luke understand R2
He is a giant pussy nerd who has nothing better to do than fly his Skyhopper and murder animals, all of his other time was spent maintaining the droids and other equipment at the farm. He probably learned to understand Astromech, which is probably not that much more complex than Morse code. just so he'd have someone that understood him.

>how does Rocket understand Groot
People who have interacted with Groot are gradually able to decipher the meaning of the inflections and can carry on full conversations with Groot as time goes on. It's basically making fun of homophones in languages, like the word Buffalo. But it's on a whole other conceptual level from "what's a quarter"

I really don't see the appeal of a comedy character whose jokes you can see coming a mile away or that only have one dimension.

>Do you think it would have benefited from the removal of the flat jokes?
Not overall, no, because which jokes a person finds flat depends on that person's individual sense of humor. Nearly everyone found something to be funny in the movie. I don't think the film would have been half as enjoyable if it tried to take itself seriously. The whole concept of capeshit in general is pretty ridiculous, and GOTG is very self-aware in that regard. Serious capeshit only works with characters that people already take seriously, like Batman.

It does have some serious drama in between the quips, though, and that works surprisingly well just because of Gunn's excellent writing and directing. Take the very first scene from GOTG 1 for example, where his Quill's mom dies. The audience doesn't even know any of the characters at that point (and no one expects them to feel attached to them from reading the comics), yet the film still manages to produce a very sad and emotional scene just by the way that it is presented.

It constantly goes back and forth between dramatic and meaningful moments like these and jokes / quips - many of which aren't funny, but the ones that are are good enough to make the bad ones forgivable.

>I don't think the film would have been half as enjoyable if it tried to take itself seriously.

There's a wide margin between serious and ridiculous. If it had a more serious tone it could have employed dark humor instead of vacuous referential humor. One of those "everything is fucking weird and crazy but everyone is used to it and that contrast is played for laughs", instead of "everyone is an idiot who thinks they're funny and has autistic social skills where they quip about anything the moment it happens instead of showing a lick of conscientiousness or situational awareness."

I think Dark Star is a good example of what i'm saying.
youtube.com/watch?v=qjGRySVyTDk

Considering he can't really have children, I would expect it from Rocket more to make up for it

What was worse taserface or this

it's the inverse of Rick and Morty!

i didnt like the movie for a couple of reasons.

one of them being the overall plot was weak and confusing -- the main bad guy wants to spread blue goo because he is unimpressed with life and he wants to spread his own life to cover everything. that's fine.

yet he falls in love with quills mom, and says that he considered just giving up the blue goo stuff.
but instead, he gives her a brain tumor because its his 'destiny' to spread blue goo. but he said before he did it because he was unimpressed with life, not because of 'destiny'. and why did he have to kill her? and why a brain tumor? and why didnt he just take peter before he left... and for that matter, why tell peter he killed his mom?
and why was peter the only one that had his 'genes'? and if he could literally build objects out of light, including his own body, why didn't he just build two fucking bodies

so between the confusing, kind of lackluster overall plot/bad guy, the hit and miss jokes and overall feeling of lack of direction made the movie feel meandering and pulpy. which is fine, thats what it is, a comic book movie. the problem is, i think the first one did everything the second one tried to do, better.

there was no real purpose to making it. just watch the first one again for a better version of essentially the same movie.

Drax getting stuck with the arrow in the credits had me busting out laughing.

I thought the music was better done in this than the first movie. I was hype as fuck during the DBZ fight especially thanks to the sound track.

>Mantis! Look out!

I didnt really like all the Drax parts but that one got me.

Drax was almost completely emasculated in this

>literally videogame shit happens at the end
>Redditlettermedia praise it

I really enjoyed that

I really enjoyed a great deal of the humour in the movie because even if it wasnt super hilarious by itself it seemed like believable "human behavior".
