Top Comments of this video!! :3
This movie broke me. On so many levels. I hate animal cruelty and James Gunn made sure I would hate the High Evolutionary more than any other MCU character. But Nebulas reaction to Rocket being okay... man I had tears of joy in my eyes. She was so happy she couldn't even try to supress her emotions like she usually does. Brilliant moment.

Nebula crying is legitimately my favorite non-Spidey scene in the MCU. With just a simple sound we’re shown such a profound end to a character arc that started approximately a decade ago, and it’s so unbelievably real and human. I’m sad that we probably won’t ever get another Gunn directed MCU film, but if this is the type of storytelling he brings to DC it’ll be worth it.

I too felt Demon Spider Bunny was Gunn taking it too far. Cut to an hour later with me sobbing uncontrollably that the horrid purple man had scared my precious Floor who had been nothing but sweet and happy despite their horrid circumstances. Floor panicking and Rocket cry-screaming was the most heartbreaking thing I've seen since Grave of the Fireflies. At least this movie had a happy ending. And I'm glad Gamora made her own family, and clearly has an ok relationship with her sister.

This movie restored a lot of my faith in Chris Pratt as a dramatic actor. His scream at 17:10 is so very well done and him antagonizing Evolutionarys monologue is so good

I love the subtle win for Nebula enjoying the drink on Counter Earth 'that is delightful'. It's so nice to see her enjoying small things that she'd never have showed appreciation for before. I loved all her moments - bantering with Mantis over the faces she pulls, calling Peter Star-Lord when she's annoyed with him, crying when she finds out Rocket is OK, being clearly not comfortable with the kids at first but dancing with them by the end, 'yeah, that looked cool' to Groot, her grunt-greeting for Gamora, how she calls Mantis by a nickname even when they're arguing, and Rocket's little nickname for her near the end, Nebs. All little things but added together showing such growth. I agree with all you said and more.
And Rocket, our beloved raccoon... I think you hit on all the beats pretty well but a couple more I wanted to add. We get the first instance of Rocket using Peter's name when he says, 'No, Pete...' in that heartbreaking way. He's always kept an emotional distance from Peter by calling him Quill, a point that is underscored by their dynamic in Gotg2. I think you said Gunn used Fleetwood Mac to underline that Rocket may never love Peter - - I think it's the other way around, that song signifies that Rocket's fear is that Peter doesn't love him like he loves Peter. And boy, when Rocket loves someone, he loves deeply, as this movie and his conversation with Yondu in vol2 shows. By the time Rocket uses Peter's name, he's sure that he's beloved by Peter - he woke up in Peter's arms to his friend sobbing with relief that he was alive. That changes the dynamic of the friendship. He's sure he's Peter's best friend, not second best friend. (Sorry, Drax.) And Peter, for his part, recognises Rocket's leadership qualities and relinquishes the role that as you point out, he was never that well suited for.
I get the vibe that you didn't love Peter and Gamora's arc, but I loved it. I thought it was so refreshing to not see them shoved back into a romantic pairing but each allowed to grow. Zoe Saldana's growl of 'what is there that's missing in your self that I need to be something for you?' is every woman's retort to a man who tries to use her as a shortcut to self-actualization. In true sister fashion, Mantus recognises this and tries to prompt Peter's growth, although in the end he gets it on his own.
' I'm still not who you want me to be, you know.'
'I know. But who you are ain't so bad.'
Although did 'I bet we were fun' get me? Absolutely 😢
As for Gamora, her growth was more subtle, but it's there. Also, she gets her sword back!

I think you really missed out on a part of Nebula’s arc. The time she spent alone with Tony on the ship. The person that taught her fairplay and kindness. The fragile human at near death that didn’t have the advantage of her modifications to survive…
This man that came back from that to then start a family and then to lay that all on the line to restore the universe at the cost of his own life.
I think this was a huge life lesson for Nebula.

I like how we all went into the movie fully expecting somebody to die, or else this ending would feel real toothless. But once the movie ended and no one died, it still felt satisfying and earned.
