My Opinion: Having 2014 Gamora replace 2019 Gamora was a terrible choice.
The reason why I disliked this writing choice because all the character growth she got is gone. The rest of the Guardians have developed, while Gamora basically got a restart. Plus, Starmora(don’t know the official ship name) is basically left with a lovestruck Peter and a clueless Gamora.
I know that there will be a third Guardians movie, but it’s probably going to be slow since Gamora is going to need some development. Or they might skip over the development and not let us see it.
Anyway, I know this may sound harsh. But, sometimes, characters shouldn’t be brought back to life.
-Drax's infectious laughter through the whole movie. -Additionally Drax's continuous ineptitude for social interaction, especially with Mantis. -Gamora truly becoming Space Mum and suffering the whole time. -The entire family dynamics within the team and the fact romance was vaguely alluded to, but wasn't more important over family unlike most other hero movies. -Kraglin being the Best Boy!!! The purest character in the movie who deserves only good. -Groot being brilliant comedic relief, but ultimately also being a 3D character who pulls through in the end. -More trAGIC BACKSTORY FOR ALL!! -Nebula having the best redemption arc and the saddest reasoning behind it all. -#Let Gamora and Nebula hug more 2k17. -Also someone give Rocket more hugs because he suffers too much. Real revelation of his character and his scene with Yondu fuCK!! -Yondu = true dad and hero of the movie. -FUCK EGO AND HIS STUPID FUCKING ASS HE CAN BURN IN HELL FOR WHAT HE DID TO PETER!! -Movie should be renamed "The Incredibly Shitty and Horrendous Time in Peter Quill's Life". Let him rest. -The unabashed hints and references dropped. Every five seconds they references someone and it was amazing. -The soundtrack once more! -The reference they did to the first movie where Groot freezes while dancing when Drax sees him. -Groot. That's it. He was amazing. -Mantis and Drax's incredibly weird but endearing platonic relationship that I hope stays platonic forever because it's too good. -Someone must tell Mantis she's beautiful every day this girl needs it. -Teach Mantis to smile and love herself !!! -Big Sister Gamora must take Mantis under her wing and teach her not to take shit from anyone. -Dad Peter at the end with Groot. Takes after his dad Yondu. Next he'll threaten to eat Groot. -The inappropriately times jokes. There's so much more good parts to this movie but I've rambled on too long already. It must be watched!!
