Guardians of the Galaxy

We went to see the Guardians of the Galaxy V3 movie. It was so good. Very heart-tugging emotions. I got teary eyed from the movie at least 3 times, which made it harder to breathe behind the N95 mask I was wearing. But I managed.

I saw that movie last week. It was good but the herd of five-year-old orphans was annoying. I think it's Disney pouring its special sauce into the plot. There was the same squeaky clean 'adorable' orphan jockeys on planet casino in Star Wars VIII, the one with the slowest space chase ever and where pouty space brat flies off to Planet Casino for some reason. GotG 3 had too many dewy-eyed raccoon kits too. Drak does pass as 'dad' material, but I fear for the survival of the orphan herd.

The presence of the kids didn't bother me in either movie. I didn't feel they were part of the main plot; just side... side... I do have a few gripes about this movie, but hey, nothing's perfect.

I read that one of the kids, Phyla, is set to possibly become a major character. Apparently she was in one of the end scenes which I saw, but I somehow missed seeing her. I must have been too confused and shocked as to why the Guardians were attacking a herd of animals (after going through all that trouble to save the other animals)(as well as what were they doing on a desert planet all of a sudden), to notice her.

I missed that too although that's not too surprising. People all look the same, the one talking raccoon and walking tree is easier to track. Speaking of people, was that Red Skull under the stretched skin? Last we saw him, he was stuck watching over one of the chaos crystals, but I guess that gig ended after Thanos snatched it. But that doesn't fit with the creation of the gold-plated people and Rocket Raccoon, so I guess not.

The animals on the desert planet were the one ugly stupid animals that nobody likes. Fair game.
