James Gunn: We actually shot a moment where Chris is holding onto Yondu’s body and crying, and Dave Batista comes behind Quill and sort of embraces him and pulls him back from the body as he’s holding onto it, and Rocket takes Yondu’s body and moves back towards the ship
Honestly, this is a huge portion of what I too wanted to say about this movie, except said more eloquently, especially the bits about Meredith and Yondu –
(I love love love how Meredith being the one who picked the music for the Awesome Mix Vol 2 frames her as a sort of narrator/Greek chorus. Running in the shadows, damn your love, damn your lies-)
(And I love how when Yondu says ‘…but he wasn’t your daddy’ he’s not talking about himself, either.)
So, Guardians of the Galaxy 2 kind of maybe owns my soul a little bit now? Here’s a fanfic filling in some blanks.
Title: Goodnight Fandom: Guardians of the Galaxy Rating: PG13 maybe? There’s nothing in here worse than in the movie Summary:
“And Darth Vader… I suppose he can’t stand the idea of a world where people like him and the Emperor live and people like Luke Skywalker die. So he picks up the Emperor and kills him, so that Luke can survive, even though it kills him too. And all these little teddy bear things that live on the moon below the Emperor’s Death Star, I forgot to mention all of that, they have a big party with fireworks and stuff.”
Peter and his family before, during and after the funeral.
Quill: Take literally any sentence he’s ever said to me and add “–or I’ll eat you.” to the end of it. That’s 97.8% of all the conversations we’ve had since I was six.
I can’t get over the fact that Yondu bought Peter a Zune to hopefully ‘welcome him back to the fold’ when said fold was comprised almost completely of bloodthirsty, vicious space pirates who were already pissed at him for favouring Peter.
Like….dude….how did you THINK that was gonna go down
