“Volume 1 and Volume 2 have been Meredith’s song choices, her communication to Peter,” [Gunn] explained. “In Volume 3, the song choices will be Yondu communicating to Peter.”
Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 (2017) dir. James Gunn
The way Yondu rests his hand on his hip in the last gif, straightening just a tiny bit… he’s so freaking proud that his son compares him to that cool Mary Poppins-guy, I’m dying.
“I told Gamora how when I was a kid I used to pretend David Hasselhoff was my dad. He’s a singer and actor from earth, really famous guy. Yondu didn’t have a talking car, but he did have a flying arrow. He didn’t have a beautiful voice of an angel, but he did have the whistle of one. Both Yondu and David Hasselhoff went on kick-ass adventures and hooked up with hot women, and fought robots. I guess David Hasselhoff did kinda end up being my dad after all, only it was you, Yondu.”
I went back and found all the appearances of the troll doll in the two movies, at least all the ones I can locate. Because this is an excellent use of my time. :D
Flying around in the cockpit of the Milano as Peter is escaping Morag early in GotG1.
Next to his stereo, a couple minutes later.
At the end of GotG1 in the orb. (I don’t think we see it again before this scene, but presumably it’s by his stereo the whole time, since he seems to keep it there.)
In GotG2, on the third quadrant’s console. With its hair slicked down to avoid getting in the way of the screens?
At the funeral, being placed by Peter. (And looking noticeably more beat up since we saw it last … which is probably a props department issue, but we can always headcanon that Yondu’s been carrying it around.)
