Because while this quote may work with many pieces of fiction, Meredith as a character is such a central part of this series, even though she isn’t alive through most of it.
thank you! :)
Despite the fact that we never really get to know much about Meredith beyond “she was cool and a good mum and loved music” I really like her as a person. And I love how much Peter’s life revolves around her and how much the narrative screams out at every turn that her death was desperately unfair.
Something I’m pleased they kept consistent movie to movie with Guardians of the Galaxy films is that sleeping in massive cuddlepiles of criminals is apparently the norm? First in prison in the first movie, and then the Ravagers in the second movie. Nobody talks about this or makes a joke, this is just a part of the world.
I’m not sure if this is to show that space is cold, that there isn’t room for dedicated barracks in these places and so people end up piled up together, or that they didn’t take the time to build sets of bunk beds and just had the actors laying on the floor to save time and money.
So i made a post previously saying that im 99% sure Yondu will be back in Vol.3 in ghost form, and apparently my brother had filmed the queue all along that ive been waiting to film so i had him text it to me, so the quality is total shit but heres your proof guys💁🏼♀️
He looks like he’s lost
aaaaah thanks @disneydamsel!
y’know I wonder how they did this. Did they use unused footage from the movie or did they get Rooker in specially? (Or perhaps it’s a very good, uh, Rooker impersonator?)
You know, something that I would have really loved to see in Vol. 2 during the fight with Ego – we see Peter’s friends getting fried by whatever Ego had threatened to crush or kill them with, but… what I would have loved to see was that statue of
Meredith crumbling.
That statute
really bothered me a whole damn lot, because after everything we have seen and heard of Ego, after his “collection room” where he shows Peter all the women he has impregnated, it feels like that statue was less of a memorial for a beloved person and more of a trophy for Ego.
It crumbling to dust, perhaps a smile on the statue’s lips as it does, would have been a signal to me that just like the rest of Peter’s family, Meredith was “freed” of that the moment Peter took control of the celestial powers.
God I would have *loved* that. That would’ve been perfect.
….This reminded me of one of my biggest hopes for Infinity War, actually, which is that Peter gets to return to his childhood home and see his grandparents and maybe get some photographs of Meredith off them. That way (especially now that the Walkman’s gone) he’ll at least get back an image of her that was actually *her*.
