(BP) Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Someone that's more knowledgeable please help: I was talking with my wife about how Spoiler Rocket possibly didn't die because he's the only one of his kind, so there wasn't a species to cut in twain. But I couldn't remember if Groot and Drax were the last of their kind as well. Is that a reasonable guess on Rocket, and do Drax and Groot still have inhabited planets somewhere?

Spoiler I think every dissappearance was totally random. I don't think the Gauntlet was discerning species, I think it was just nuking 50% of the entire galactic population at random. Else there's an argument for Quill not getting dusted since he's half-Celestial. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contentious C Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Plus, if Drax's backstory is true, his planet should have already been culled. Otherwise...Groot is not the only Groot (I think), while Rocket's deffo a lab experiment (oddly enough, from a planet called Halfworld). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I'm fairly certain they called him the last Groot in vol 1. Of course, according to Gunn that Groot is dead and this is a different Groot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff Hanger Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 That was fun. I'll always be unhappy with movies that reduce supporting heroes and especially villains to obstacles rather than characters, but that's a function of being a movie instead of a comic or TV show. It's a complaint I've had dating back to the treatment of Cyclops and Sabretooth in X-Men. liked it enough to see it a second time when the GF is free. Bold prediction: after this past weekend's take, the Russos will announce their exit from the Quantum and Woody pilot that's in dev hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why Lovecraft resonates with me, I suppose. Also, I'm digging these narratives popping up blaming Hide contents Starlord's outburst for the whole outcome. Now, if "Ant Man & Wasp" does not have an expositional text box in the lower right corner that reads, "These events take place before the end of Avengers: Infinity War - Ed.", I'll be a little disheartened.

It's kind of the opposite of much of the back half of the list where high expectations weren't met. I had an antipathy to Thor at that point based on how little I thought of the first movie, I got dragged to see Dark World, and I had a really good time. If I watched it again this second I'd probably have a better argument involving it being the harbinger for a lot of the humor and fun cosmic stuff that followed. Or maybe I'd reconsider it and drop it down the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Cristobal's list reminds me i need to watch Civil War and Black Panther sometime soon. And Spidey: Homecoming. And the Andrew Garfield Spidey films. And, well, about half the list. Actually, I don't think I've seen the Tobey Spidey film with Sandman and Venom all the way through.

Casey Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 The Sandman stuff is fantastic in Spider-Man 3, but the Venom shit is just really bad. Plus you get emo band Peter Parker with black hair, it’s weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contentious C Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 And no one needs to watch Amazing Spider-Man 2. Worst comic book movie that's not MST3K fodder (maybe call that 'above the Hodgson Line'?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He manages to both come across as a blend of Tony's sarcasm and insecurities with Banner's just buried rage, and as a completely detached machine, with just his voice. The only MCU villain I would definitely rank above Ultron is Killmonger. Maybe Loki. That's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
