[QUOTE="payn, post: 9021665, member: 90374"] Thats fair, I haven't seen much post endgame Marvel, so perhaps, its worse than I imagine? Im not sure about this third one. Probably included because its part of an excellent trilogy, but certainly not on its own merits. I felt like this is where the movie really failed for me. The wanton violence played for laughs, and then used for feels just didn't contrast well for me. Both ended up feeling off and thus I enjoyed the film much less for it. Cant argue visual design, it has remained consistent for Guardians. Though, I felt like something was off with the awesome mix. Perhaps Gunn felt he was off the hook of the 70's but it just was all over the place and too obvious. I liked it better when Starlord was our vicarious character into this world. Int he past, the awesome mix was like a background character, and in this film it felt forced into the front with everyone else. I didnt care for it. Yeah, the themes didn't line up with much of Marvel. Got pretty dark at times too. There were faces to the violence which is usually against faceless stormtroopers, emotionless aliens, or beasts. G3 certainly gave a lot of emotion and character to folks that were getting caught into fights. Thats on top of the animal experimentation and other themes. Again, I didn't dislike the movie, I do think it was a good flick. I just felt like it was below the high bar set by the first two. [/QUOTE]
