      I still cry when I watch the movies. The last ten minutes of the second movie are devastating. Having Mikey describe so poignantly why the characters are so endearing had me tearing up for most of the review. I love this movie so much, and Mikey's format for reviewing does it so much justice.

    I think there's something to be said about the fact that Groot is the only one among them that doesn't really, as far as we can see, make any real emotionally debilitating mistakes like the rest. He's only trying to protect Rocket, as far as we can see, and in the end he's the one that dies for the rest anyway, even though he owed them nearly nothing because he cared for all of them anyway.

    I saw this movie in the theater and sitting like 4 rows away was a 5-7 year old kid. When Groot died he started bawling. The movie ended and his father was telling between sobs 'didn't you see the little tree at the end?' Trying to convince his son that it was okay because Groot "lived".

      Don't worry he comes back, and he's more adorable than ever.
      As an aside, how the hell did they survive that ship crash? Groot sacrificed himself by surrounded them in twigs and leaves. Dude is walking, talking kindling. How does this end in any other way than trapping them in a giant fireball of death?

    • @amanibob1416
      @amanibob1416 6 років тому +6

      TheHorseFormerlyWithoutAName The first Groot, (old Groot), was the "Hulk cannot die" version of the Guardians of the Galaxy, but the script/plot killed him for twenty minutes or so, just for the climax to have some "feels" and tension. Like, litteraly, DEAD, to "save his friends" during Ronan's onslaught/ dreadnaught crash... The script/plot killed the, old Groot to "nerf/weaken" him. Adult Groot was the Guardians of the Galaxy equivalent of the "Dr. Banner/Hulk vs all the avengers", meaning that Groot was funny, but was waaay, waaay
      too strong. Groot was easy to slow down, but like Hulk, he won't quit and would spoil the climax,(Ronan vs Guardians final dance/battle), So basically, the script/plot killed a Hulk-like old Groot by making him "sacrifice himself". That sh** was a horrible, but clear example of a caracter reboot by way of "anti-plot armor". Groot was the only Guardians that could've tanked Ronan by himself,( in the comics), but he didn't. Groot was: "ze nice guy who died", but while his full-power and memories are gone, baby Groot is technically the same version, but weak/younger/toy.
      Ps: Old Groot was shown to have removed a single sapling seed from his head before the "save ze planet" fight, (we see old Groot do this during the prep/planning), yet he could've done so a hundred time BEFORE!!! Old Groot was killed-of by the script/plot, but "they" showed us the "Groot make a copy" only to explain why he died/didn't die... Old Groot didn't make another Groot, or a dozen, at ANY point because the truth is that old Groot was too strong, so "they" rebooted him. Now,"baby" Groot is NOT the same Groot, yet Groot lives on. Baby Groot is still "a Groot" and like a normal human vs Thor, who's an ashguardian, Groot ain't just a plant-based, talk funny humanoids. Groot are litteraly the marvel version of another type of god, (god of nature). Baby Groot don't know how to go all "Hulk smash" like his older counterpart and without the memories from his older self, he need to learn everything by himself, yet until he grow back into his adult form, he cannot do anything remotely as amazing as he could as an adult, like in the comics, (self-multiplying, or growing as tall as a skyscraper, or becoming impervious to FIRE, or even molding into a wood-based version of "hulkbuster").

      Amani Bob You could have said that in a couple of sentences: They nerfed Groot by "killing" him, so that he won't kick every villains arse for the team, but they kept the character alive with the seedling Groot.

    I love the setup for Peter's Star-Lord "outlaw name" and the true payoff not being when somebody finally gets his name right (Korath on the Dark Aster), but when we learn that it was actually his mother's apt knickname for him. What makes it even better is the letter revealing this was doubled with the unopened present which itself had a setup and payoff. The vulnerable expression on Peter's face with all the bravado washed away revealing that he never stopped being the young boy we met in scene 1. Pure genius.

  • @Cbeyke
    @Cbeyke 6 років тому +56

    One of the things I love most about Marvel movies is that they are never just "another superhero flick." Guardians is a drama about family, Captain America is a spy thriller, Thor is a fish out of water about finding where you fit into the world, and they are all beautiful fantastical stories that just happen to wear the mask of superheroes.
    If they tried to follow the same "formula", every film would flop. They are all so different that I can't help but find it beautiful how all the pieces fit together. So much love went into each character and each film... it's awe-inspiring.

    Confession: I never really understood the appeal of Guardians of the Galaxy. I sought out several reviews in attempt to understand what people saw in it but was left just as confused as ever. They all praised it's quirkiness and gutsiness but I didn't really see what made it that much different than any other Marvel title.
    But after watching this video, I finally get it. You brought it all together for me. I might even watch Guardians again with this mindset and see if I develop a new appreciation for it. Thank you.

    • @GumpusRex
      @GumpusRex 7 років тому +46

      Its interesting because vol 2 essentially uses the majority of its run time, explaining exactly what this video did. It hinted at the pains in the characters in Vol 1, but had a larger issue to address. Vol 2 says, "we should explain to those that missed it 'why' these characters work so well." In Vol 1 they became a family, in spite of being so flawed, in vol 2 we see the impact that having those flaws has on their longer term relationships.

      Guardians of the Galaxy was also forming the team from a group of broken people. Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is a character work where it delves into those flaws, and has the characters start to work them out.

If anything, it's Steve we should be worried for of the two, because Chris Evans is only contracted for one more. If anything speaks for the future of the MCU, it's the contracts.

      I would like to point out that whether or not the characters will remain dead, Marvel still killed them all. Even if, after the fact, you can rest easy knowing that things will most likely be alright come the end of the next Avengers, in the moment it was devastating for a LOT of people.
      So, yeah, not at all gun shy about killing them anymore.

      @@lo4tr That's just semantics. Yes, they're _technically_ dead but what we're talking about here is the effect the death of a main character has on the audience. That effect is absent when everyone and their kid knows they're not going to stay dead.

      I really appreciate Mikey's format since it focuses so much on the craft of movie making and what makes the movie enjoyable rather than tearing into it like a lot of reviewers. His love of film is immediately apparent through his work. That passion combined with the emotional baggage that comes with these characters nearly had me bawling, too. Looking at the comments on this page, I'm glad to see it's not just me.

    @CuddleCuttlefish 6 років тому +3

    I think what Mikey said near the end about 'pulling punches' is great. We keep pushing Hollywood to punch harder. More darker tones, more stakes, more loss, more weight behind the punches (that's how we get Infinity War on our hands btw). But it's time we realise that we pull punches for a reason. Because when you don't, someone gets hurt. When it's all said and done, and we're left with nothing but a beaten pulp left, we'd have wished more movies did like GoTG and gave us some soft punches. Although real punches are exciting in the moment, every punch is numbing and disorientating, until someone's in a coma or dead. So let's keep the punches light, let's allow for some happy endings. Yes, I know the metaphorical nature of this comment made it kind of really convoluted, but I think it works and most see through the metaphor and know exactly what I'm trying to say.

    I'm not sure how your channel has evaded me but after coming in contact with this channel I've watched every single "Movies with Mikey" in one night. I love the editing, the tone, and most of all your voice and thoughts on these films. Keep it up! Also, one vote for Hurt Locker.

    "The Hurt Locker" ; Please & Thank you! I want to hear what you have to say about LOGAN, but I'm far more interested in your perspective on "THL"... and I might want to hear a sassy sassafras sass out a few (more) jokes about James Cameron's ex-wife.
    More because reasons.

    Glad to hear you keep sounding better, Mikey! This episode was really touching and actually made me feel a lot better about loving this movie. Guardians 1&2, Strange, and Iron Man 3 were all kinda important to me beyond the whole superhero thing, and now I know that's okay with good reasons.
    And in that vain, Logan! I wanna hear your take. I didn't love it, but I did think it was important, and I feel like you can tell me why with more clarity than I can.

    Mikey, you make the best videos. And also KUDOS for using "Oblivion" over the last bit of this one. I freaking love that song and it's a grossly underrated film. Do you have a video about that one/have you ever thought about making a video about that one? I'd love to see it!!

    Major kudos for playing Oblivion, that song is quite possibly my favorite my favorite movie theme of all time. In fact, I would love to see a video at that movie because I think it is criminally underappreciated and easily one of the my favorite audio/visual experiences due to the amazing design work in film and its incredible soundtrack.
    As for the vote, I'm going to go with Harry Potter. Plenty of people have given due credit to The Hurt Locker, Amelie, and Logan, but while the whole HP series is pretty solid, Azkaban is the only one that people seem to focus on.
