The Real Guardians of the Galaxy: Season 1, Episode 4 – Oh Captain

Peter gets caught trying to steal the map to some ancient treasure from Yondu and the Ravagers and gets locked up for his efforts. When the crew loses contact with Yondu as he’s out retrieving the supposed riches, Peter uses their worry and his wits to try and make it out of this hairy situation unscathed…and maybe a little richer?

I’ve been watching The Real Ghostbusters and I couldn’t stop thinking about how much I liked the look of old 80s cartoons that were animated in Japan lol. So have some dumb shit.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) dir. by James Gunn

Mom Gamora is best Gamora

She’s so naturally good at it; loves this little baby so much. <3

This is such a great scene though, because Gamora is NOT naturally good at it. She’s cold and hard and has the emotional awareness of a grape. Look at how she treats Peter and Nebula throughout the whole movie; she doesn’t even realize she loves them until they smack her in the face with their own feelings. Repress and deny, that’s how Gamora does feelings.

But she’s soft with Groot. It’s a sweet contrast that shows that she’s working on her shit.

Yessssss. Seriously, Gamora is more afraid of feelings than almost any character I’ve ever seen. She doesn’t just fail to notice her feelings for Peter and Nebula, she’s actively afraid of them (at the very least for Peter, and quite possibly for Nebula as well). Look at how she snarls and wheels on Peter the moment he starts to charm her in vol1. Gamora tenses up the moment she finds herself feeling charmed and then tries to squash the scary feelings under aggression.

Gamora consistently treats the people she loves most by being meanest to them. So her carefulness with Groot is evidence of really, really hard work and character growth on her part. In some ways, she is actually working harder on being nice to Groot here than Rocket is, which is hilarious and terrifying.

I think it makes a lot of sense that it’s Baby Groot she manages to be the softest with as well. Gamora has got to have a lot of thoughts about How to Do Parenthood Right; I’d imagine she’s extremely motivated to do a better job with Groot than Thanos did with her. (I mean, that’s a low bar, but she’s still very determined to pass it.)

Plus, Peter and Nebula might ask things of her she’s not prepared to give, they have their own unknowable motivations, they might (do!) fuck up; it’s all sorts of complicated and messy. But Groot’s a child, and she knows very well that entails a responsibility for her to provide not just food and shelter, but comfort and love.

I really adore the moment in the opening battle of GotG2 where Gamora stops fighting briefly to just give Groot a friendly “hi!”, because I feel like that encapsulates their relationship: Gamora forcing herself to put down her defenses because Groot needs to see her feelings.

Yes. all of this.

Also, baby Groot is the least threatening. Like you said, Peter or Nebula might ask things out of her that she doesn’t expect or can’t give. But Gamora can predict everything Groot wants (affection, brightly colored candy, good tunes, to not get squished, and the odd bug) ahead of time. Groot is simple and wants relatively simple things.

So he’s not so scary.

Peter and Nebula, though… that’s another story.

Gosh I love Gamora so much

Today James Gunn talked a little bit about the GOTG soundtracks, so I responded with an entire thread, obviously. And while I was writing it, something occurred to me. All the songs you hear in Vol 2, you know they’re coming from the Walkman. (Turns out there’s a name for that! Diegetic sound!) You see Peter listening the songs and we’re hearing what he’s hearing.

But the reprise of The Chain comes after Ego smashes the Walkman. That almost battle-cry of “if you don’t love me now, you’ll never love me again” comes from somewhere else. Peter’s heart, Meredith’s ghost, all of the Guardians functioning as one, any or all of those things. Ego crushed the Walkman but that’s not where the music actually is. I never noticed that before and I love it.

Does anyone know what those three little arrows on Yondu’s jacket are meant to represent, or am I free to make something up?

I made this post so long ago BUT, I just remembered, someone asked Michael Rooker this at the Birmingham Comic-Con!

………They’re for playing darts with.

I honestly wonder if it was so that either

a) Yondu would stop trying to use his Yaka arrow while drunk to play darts with, because oh boy, you don’t want to know where that arrow ended up with when its user tried to whistle it around while being dead-ass drunk

or

b) The mini arrows are mostly to getting lil’ Peter to stop trying to steal the Yaka and still give him something to fiddle with

or

c) give Yondu something to throw at and puncture people that he actually likes without killing them in the process.

Or all of it. Or nothing. Ignore me, I’m just running wild with this because I just find it so funny. XD

Actually.. I thought those would have been his badges that represents his Captain’s role

Ohh, like stars on a general or something! I like that. Maybe I should mention Kraglin having a new uniform or something in Vital Part 2, and he had 2 of those little darts on his shoulder.

A ‘pin the tail on the yondu’ game went wildly awry?

I’m sorry I’m just wheezing at the idea of Yondu having this symbol on his jacket, everyone he meets speculating about what they mean, how he earned them, what badass adventure he must’ve gone on to be decorated with three arrows and then one night the crew is just hanging out and he throws them at a dartboard
