Clearly, Groot had been walking around for some time. Why did he freeze when Drax looked at him, during the fight scene at the beginning ? Yes, it was a cute reference to when Groot was still in the pot, and hadn't become animated yet. So why do it now ? That made no sense, and wasn't funny.

Seemed more of a reach than anything.

Went to see it yesterday (Saturday) and I agree with whoever said it wasn't as good as the first one. They threw everything in including the kitchen sink, but it made little sense, or I should say, it wasn't as interesting.

It seemed to me that they stopped the film to do these boring character studies as to why our heroes weren't given enough love and hugs when they were kids. It was sappy and not funny, at all. The trailers gave away the best scenes in the movie and it didn't have the snappy banter of the first one.

I give it 3 Stars out of 5

I got a few chuckles out of it, but on in particular made me LOL. The scene where they show Starlord's daddy when he turns into David Hasselhoff

I conjured it was just Baby Groot showing immaturity, in character.

Is Starlord a 'Super'hero now ?


And if so, what powers does he possess ?


And what about the rest of the Guardians ? Did holding onto the stone give them any enhancements ? Longer life ? Because, after watching Vol 2, I really can't tell they came out all that much different. Other than not being dead, of course.

This was a while ago, but IIRC there was some Catch-22 where once Dad's power expired, then all other derived powers would also dissolve - so Starlord ending Dad also ended his own power derived from Dad.
Does that sound like I recalled correctly?

Yes, that's how they described it. Starlord didn't get powers from holding the infinity stone. He was able to hold the infinity stone because he had powers already. His powers were from his dad who's a celestial I believe. So, Starlord is half celestial. His Dad had been searching for his offspring that he had running all around the galaxy because he was hoping to find one who inherited his powers. When Starlord became famous for holding the infinity stone that clued his Dad into the fact that Starlord inherited some of his Dad's powers. However, they explain that those powers are only basically tapping into his Dad's power. If his Dad is destroyed there's no more power for Starlord to tap into. That's the theory at least. I think there may be wiggle room because Starlord's Dad is the one telling us that and he seemed to have a skewed point of view.

So now he could no longer hold an Infinity Stone, is that right? And di the other Guardians hold the Infinity Stone? And could they now?

The others absorbed the power from the Infinity stone, or I guess more accurately, diluted the power so that Peter - Starlord COULD hold on to it.

But I was thinking, much like that which doesn't kill you , makes you stronger sort of thing... like Bruce Banner and the gammer-rays ? ( And as a side note, didn't Bruce only survive the gamma burst because HIS dad experimented on him as a new born / toddler ? I'm fuzzy on that, but from the line even in The Avengers " that much gamma radiation 'should have ' killed you ". Of course, we know it didn't, but - why ? )

So here's the thing. Starlord is a knock off the old block. But just because dear old dad snuffed it ( or we're assuming he did ) , his genetic material is still in Starlord, right ? Now, what really bugged me is how all those little seeds from Daddy Ego had their own genetic material, needing the different planets to get energy from or what ever... why would THEY die off because Ego died ? Couldn't they carry on by themselves ?

And what the frak was allowing them to grow and engulf all those planets, in real time, despite being light years away ? I can understand how they all might have synced up and started to grow in unison, but how is it remotely possible that they all snuffed it once ?

If so, what does God need with a starship ?

Oh, wait.. wrong movie.

If so, why didn't God see the nuke coming ?






Puny God.

Remember Shah-Karee, the place of the Supreme Being? Remember it was named after Sean Connery, who was expected to fill the guest starring role? When Sean had to withdraw due to obligations on another film, how did Lawrence Luckinbill get enough juice to take on that role? After he had only been in lightweight rom-coms prior to that?
Do you recall the answer?
