At the moment when Yondu is dressing in a brothel playing the song called “Un Deye Gon Hayd (The Unloved Song)”.
UNLOVED
It is sad.

PSA: Yondu Udonta didn’t know he was trafficking children to their deaths when he started that shit. This is confirmed by James Gunn himself.
Honestly, given Yondu’s backstory, I’m hard pressed to think Yondu – for all of his clear faults – would be the kind of character whom would willingly and knowingly sacrifice the lives of children so that they could be used as tools/batteries for a “"higher purpose”“ like Ego’s.
Heck, it’s in the movie itself, a couple of times. In Yondu’s very first scene he yells at Stakar “I told you, I didn’t know what was going on!” and even if you don’t believe him, later you get Ego saying “To ease his conscience, I told him none of the children would be hurt.” (And Ego doesn’t lie. He omits the truth a lot… but I don’t think he ever actually lies.)
…. new thing to have feels about: how patient Yondu is with Groot when the little tree keeps fetching the wrong thing from his quarters. Rocket too, of course, but Rocket has a lot of experience by this point with baby-Groot-wrangling. Yondu doesn’t even know him, and their lives are literally on the line here, but he’s still patient with him ‘cause he gets that Groot is just a kid and doesn’t understand what they want him to do.
This movie keeps finding new ways to hurt me.
