gamora & peter (guardians of the galaxy 3) SPOILERS
if you’re a starmora fan like me, you’ll also understand the pain right now
we know for a fact gamora was falling in love all over again, and the thing that people are forgetting is that this is just gamora from the past and not a completely different gamora from an alternative dimension. because its just gamora from another timeline, her personality is still the same, and she can still fall in love with peter like she did before
there were hints of gamora slowly regaining those feelings, where she’s looking through peter’s stuff and fighting alongside peter again, the moment she was smiling looking up at peter where he fell on top of her on accident (like the first film) and then the ending…
the ending killed me. part of her didn’t want to leave. she does have a new family now and i’m happy for her, but she seriously struggled to leave peter there. “I bet we were fun”. she was FALLING. she really wishes she had those memories of her future self that passed.
she wouldn’t move ahead till nebula initiated her to go
it was such a missed opportunity where peter was out in space about to die and gamora could have been the one to save him like he did for her in the first film. i understand the point of this scene was to give adam some redemption, but i seriously wish it was gamora who saved peter instead
and also when everyone was hugging peter, gamora was the only one standing aside and walked away literally, i wish somehow the creators could of just gave those 2 a moment there as gamora showed relief that peter lived
sadly i know marvel isn’t much on romance (as they literally ruined every pairing we loved) – wanda & vision, thor & jane, tony & pepper, peter & Michelle etc. just hope we could have a happy ending for 1 pairing one day
I’m still kind of bummed about that missed opportunity too.
I like to think that Peter and Gamora become good friends in the future even if they’re not a couple. When Peter gets back from Earth he’ll surely still have contact with her via Nebula and the Ravagers, so I want to hope there eventually ends up being a platonic love between them and between Gamora and the other Guardians.
I dunno, I feel like Gamora’s story isn’t really done yet and I wonder if it ever will be. :( I wish there had been a scene of someone filling her in on exactly what her other self had experienced.
I am still not very mentally well but I did manage to see GOTG 3, a film I’ve waited so long for. It’s very, very good. (Spoilers from here on!) I admit I did really want Gamora’s Infinity War death to be “undone” in some way, I’m still bitter about that even after all this time, but at least she’s alive and has a family of her own and is on good terms with the Guardians now.
I REALLY REALLY LOVED that Gamora told Nebula “There are little girls like you all over the galaxy, we can help them” back in Vol 2 and this movie ended with both of them helping little girls escape a monstrous god-like being. OH my heart.
I have no idea what Adam Warlock is like in the comics, I gather nothing like how he is in this movie, but he was hilarious and I wish he was in the movie more. I have a newfound appreciation for Will Poulter’s comedy skills.
I loved Peter Quill in this movie, I have loved him in every GOTG movie despite him being played by Chris Pratt, and I’m very glad that he’s going to stick around in the MCU for a little bit. I really want him to be bisexual now like he is in the comics. Genuine suggestion: since there was that big and touching scene at the end of Adam Warlock saving his life, why not pair him up with Adam?
ALSO: Shout out to the taxi driver who drove us to the cinema who was a fellow theme park history enthusiast! That was super nice, I hadn’t had a fun conversation with a stranger for a while really.
The finale of What If was today, and though I’ve had some pretty big quibbles with this show I liked it overall. But I was so confused when Gamora showed up! Pleased but confused, because despite her being on the posters we’d seen absolutely nothing regarding her so far?
Turns out her episode was cancelled due to COVID restrictions and it’ll be on next year! That’s something to look forward to I guess, but as soon I saw her on the poster I was really looking forward to that episode, couldn’t they have cut the Party Thor one instead?
Anyway! Some thoughts on that finale:
-Black Widow and Captain Carter were giving each other some very significant looks in that episode but of course Disney wouldn’t go there.
-Frankly the last five or so minutes of this episode felt like a better tribute to Natasha than the actual Black Widow movie did.
-How can you all not guess Killmonger would betray you? He has “kill” in his name!
-Blink and you’ll miss this, but T’Challa went back to get Peter Quill and now they’re bros! Oh that’s nice. Wonder if we’ll get any of that in season two.
-The revelation of a living Steve at the end of the credits was expected, but I really wish Peggy would get at least one ending that doesn’t involve Steve.
Been a little busy getting married lately but I FINALLY got to see GotG and LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. So much fun!! Zoe Saldana is so beautiful, even green and without eyebrows.
For the FIRST EVER! edition of Fourteen Favourite Shots I decided to do Avengers Endgame.
…which is in many ways a very ugly movie. I’M SORRY! But when I was screencapping it it felt like, so many scenes have this weird grey filter over them? Why?
However since I’m enhancing all the colours I suppose that doesn’t matter much.I still found it much harder than I expected to get a whole 14 shots I really loved though.
But! I do really love how the scenes on Vormir are lit. And that shot of Gamora on the top right is possibly my favourite shot of her ever – this tiny figure facing down the whole world.
I also totally love how there are two shots in here of a man staring at the woman he loves from the wrong side of a timeline.
