hey marvel why is the sovereign the standard for perfection in a race when they’re all gold ass white people who are tall and skinny
I think that’s the point, in a way. They’re racial supremacists, so even before they double down on the “don’t screw with us” stuff they’re obviously extremely bad news.
(Also, them seeming to be a send-up of gamer culture, at least a little…. it makes me wonder.)
this just in: guardians of the galaxy two has a really strange anti-reddit message in the form of white supremacists who are gold
Having been to Reddit, I really hope it was intentional.
And, if it was, that at some point the hardcore Redditors realise it.

The Sovereign being a send-up of aspects of gamer culture
Gamora telling Mantis she’s not ugly (and clearly meaning it)
“I DON’T KNOW WHAT CHEERS IS.”
That ridiculous thing Ayesha was walking on so her feet didn’t have the indignity of touching the ground
“I will help them by killing Thanos”
Actually everything involving Nebula, tbh
(She has agency and empathy and a sister now)
“That’s a desk.”
The bizarre almost-beauty of the arrow massacre sequence
The Chain (the song that plays as Peter regains control of his ‘heart’) sounding like it could almost be Meredith condemning her ex-lover from beyond the grave “damn your love, damn your lies" as her son avenges her
Drax holding Mantis up as the ground starts eating him, desperate to give her a chance to live
absolutely everyone getting both Cool Scenes and Heartwarming Scenes
“What’s so wrong with that?”
the bit where Groot gives Yondu a sad little wave, and Yondu waves back
Peter closing his eyes and accepting his fate as the planet explodes around him
Gamora tending to the unconscious Mantis
Yondu holding Peter’s face as he dies and staring at him so he can be the last thing he sees
lots of big, important themes: slavery, child abuse, eugenics, parenthood, all dealt with well, albeit sometimes subtly
