The importance of tone in GOTG Vol. 2
Tone :
the general character or attitude of a place, piece of writing, situation, etc.We’ve all seen movies or read books that get their tone wrong. They feel subtly off or wrong somehow. Do it wrong, and every twist or revelation in your story feel wrong too, straining the audience’s disbelief. Done correctly, manipulations of tone are barely perceptible but absolutely necessary to support dramatic character arcs.
One of my favorite parts of the movie was its subtle manipulation in tone, particularly in the second act.

“I can’t decide what’s worse, him thinking that impregnating Meredith for his own selfish ends is a gift, or that he credits Peter with gifting Gamora her “freedom” when she had it well in hand. All along Ego’s misogynistic microaggressions hint at what lays beneath. ”
….oh dang that’s a really good point
