[QUOTE="FormerlyHemlock, post: 9018917, member: 6787650"] I added some dialogue to my post upthread to clarify my point, and why having a line of dialogue in the middle of the action about how the High Evolutionary is bad for killing them isn't enough to set the appropriate tone for the aftermath of a planetary scale massacre. Remember that it's not just about the planet--it's also about most of the people on Knowhere (presumably) dying to the hundreds or thousands of murderbots shown attacking it because Peter brought them into the fight. Those people didn't get even a single line of dialogue to acknowledge their lives or deaths. It would have been a better movie if Gunn had resisted the temptation to have thousands of murderbots, had merely had dozens of murderbots, and let Peter, Gamora, Groot and Rocket shoot down most of them but still a dozen get through to hit Knowhere, where Kraglin takes them down. Then there wouldn't need to [I]BE[/I] enormous numbers of near-invisible casualties on Knowhere whom the movie doesn't care about. In Star Wars, at least we got: Here, nothing. P.S. I would have preferred e.g. if the lady who had loaned them the car had made it to the final scenes, maybe joined Nebula's colony. Seeing her and her family as refugees would have been sad, but APPROPRIATELY sad, because a sad thing happened when their world died. [/QUOTE]
