Spoilers for all Marvel Cinematic Universe works preceding this one will be left unmarked. You Have Been Warned!Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (stylized as Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3) is a 2023 science fiction superhero film, a sequel to Guardians of the Galaxy and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, the 32nd film and 42nd overall installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the second film of its Phase Five. It is written and directed by James Gunn and stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldaña, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Sean Gunn, Will Poulter, Chukwudi Iwuji, Elizabeth Debicki, Maria Bakalova, and Sylvester Stallone.Set a few years after the events of Avengers: Endgame, the Guardians are still in mourning from the loss of their universe's Gamora, and struggling to connect to her alternate 2014 Variant (who instead joined the Ravagers). Despite this, the Guardians have settled fully into their roles as the galaxy's protectors from their new home base of Knowhere, which they have transformed into a refuge for outcasts and people down on their luck.However, this new status quo is shaken by the arrival of a new threat — the Sovereign superweapon, Adam Warlock, who pushes the Guardians of the Galaxy to the breaking point in an initial confrontation that leaves Rocket grievously injured in a way where he cannot be healed thanks to a copyright-locked bomb in Rocket's cybernetic body. Racing against the clock, the Guardians discover that they can save their friend if they can infiltrate OrgoCorp, a bioengineering company that has the key to saving Rocket's life.While hooked up to medical devices, Rocket's origins are explored in full, unveiling his backstory and explaining how his traumatic past created the person that he is. It's revealed that he was uplifted by the High Evolutionary, who also runs OrgoCorp and created the Sovereigns, in pursuit of creating a perfect society by any means necessary. The High Evolutionary then seeks Rocket for his own sinister designs, as he's dissatisfied with the way that the world is and seeks to recreate it in his image. The Guardians must now rally to face what could very well be their greatest challenge — and the last one that they will do together.The film was released in theaters on May 5, 2023. A Christmas Special, The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, was filmed simultaneously with the film and released the preceding November to set up plot points present in the film.Previews: Trailer 1, Trailer 2, Super Bowl Trailer

Heroic BSoD: Rocket has a massive one during his flashback after he sees Lylla get killed right in front of him, prompting him to maul the High Evolutionary's face off. It gets worse when he sees that Teefs and Floor have been killed by the High Evolutionary's men, only ending some time after he manages to escape from the High Evolutionary's base. Quill has one later on in the movie when he believes that rocket had died. he gets over it once Rocket is revealed to be alive, however.

Darker and Edgier: With a truly monstrous villain, disturbing depictions of animal cruelty, genocide, Rocket's near-death experience complete with briefly flat-lining, Quill struggling with his grief for the original Gamora, and some of the most brutal violence in the entire MCU rivaled only by Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the film is by far the darkest of the Guardians trilogy, and one of the most somber films in the whole franchise. This is evident even from the opening title sequence, as while the previous two Guardians films started with characters dancing to up-beat pop songs, this film starts with the Guardians somberly going about their day with the downbeat "Creep" by Radiohead playing on the soundtrack.

Simple Solution Won't Work
 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 / int_16dda55f
comment
Simple Solution Won't Work: Upon examining the kill switch, Nebula reports that they can't use recovery technology like their Medpacks as it would cause the switch to kill Rocket instantly, the same with trying to surgically remove the device itself. Meaning, the only option is to infiltrate OrgoCorp to find the code to turn the device off so they can operate safely. As it's pointed out to Gamora, since OrgoCorp was a bust as the High Evolutionary beat them there, they lost too much time so need to go straight to Counter-Earth to retrieve the data they need, meaning dropping Gamora off with the Ravagers or, more importantly, taking Rocket back to Knowhere aren't options on the table, even as they admit that taking Rocket with them is playing right into the High Evolutionary's hands.

comment
Alcohol-Induced Idiocy: After Adam Warlock attacks the guardians by surprise in Knowhere and leaves Rocket heavily wounded, Peter, who was literally sleeping off a bender up until the attack, leaves without even putting on his trademark jacket and, more importantly, two pieces of his kit he rarely parted with in the previous movies: his space mask and rocket boots. This oversight would have been fatal in the climax, if not for Adam Warlock himself rescuing him at the last moment.

Visionary Villain: Played With. The High Evolutionary presents himself as this, working to create a utopia free of violence, and his minions seem to buy into it. But it's clear that his real driving motivation is his god complex. And that's what leads them to mutiny.

Never Trust a Trailer
 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 / int_19ebe383
comment
Never Trust a Trailer: Groot never actually says the "We... Are... GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!" line in the film.note Careful ears might be able to notice that said line in the trailer was done by combining two of Groot's lines from the first film. The trailers imply that Star-Lord being cradled by Nebula and trailed by the other Guardians is a big narrative moment, or possibly a Disney Death. In-film, this happens at the very beginning, and he's just passed out after drinking too much, and they're just taking him home so he can nap. The trailers had Rocket's determined "I'm done running" be directed at Star-Lord, with Rocket specifically addressing "Pete"; in the film, he's talking more to himself and doesn't use Quill's name. The shot of Rocket lying on his back talking about how they'll all "fly away together" is dubbed with Rocket's "adult" voice: In the movie itself this shot is from Rocket's flashbacks, where he has a child / adolescent voice.

The Cameo: Howard the Duck and the Broker from the first movie, and Bzermikitokolok from the Holiday Special all appear playing cards with Kraglin and Cosmo. A vision of Yondu Udonta appears to Kraglin near the end to remind him to use the Yaka Arrow with his heart. A small one. Molly Quinn returns as a Ravager after being Howard's date in the second movie. Pete Davidson appears briefly as an Arete guard, but is under so much makeup as to be unrecognizable. A bald eagle can be seen among the animals the High Evolutionary wants to experiment on. Gunn stated on Twitter here that that wasn't just a reference to Eagly, that was Eagly himself.

The Heart

comment
Of Mantis' role as The Heart. Nebula points out that her role mostly involves sensing peoples' feelings and talking about it with them, making her in Nebula's eyes just as useless as Drax. However, the film shows that her empathic abilities make her able to befriend any creature, including the alien monsters that the High Evolutionary hoped would kill them. It also allows her to encourage and help her allies, such as when Cosmo's exhaustion almost caused her to lose focus in using her powers.

Green-Eyed Monster: Played for Laughs with Drax, who insists that he is Quill's best friend rather than Rocket. For a more serious example, this is why the High Evolutionary truly hates Rocket. Rocket found and corrected a flaw on the High Evolutionary's evolution chambers. Though the High Evolutionary was glad that the machine worked, he was angry at his creation for solving a problem rather than him.

comment
Papa Wolf: While not Rocket's actual or adopted father, Quill acts very much like a protective father to him, especially once he learns what was done to Rocket by the High Evolutionary. More than any of the other Guardians, he loses it when Rocket flatlines, getting just as distraught as a father would if his own child was about to die and taking similarly desperate measures to try and prevent it. Visually, the subsequent hug he and Groot share with Rocket has at least the visual similarity to a father and child, given the differences in size if nothing else. Rocket himself has shades of this to a pack of baby raccoons when he gets them out of the cage later on, which given his species is closer to a literal interpretation of the trope, although the way it's done makes it look curiously like an opossum family.

Stealth Pun: Knowhere, the decapitated head of a long-dead Celestial, is now stated onscreen to be the Guardians' official base. Or rather, their Headquarters. Throughout the movie, Peter insists that he's not walking into a trap, but a "face-off". So when it comes time to confront the High Evolutionary, the battle ends with a literal face-off when it's revealed that his face was actually a mask stuck to his horrendously scarred visage, which of course comes off after he's been left for dead.

Played straight involving the process in which the High Evolutionary uplifted Rocket. It's shown twice, and neither time in detail to the audience, but what visuals are used make it obvious that it was both horrific and excruciating. The Guardians are deeply disturbed when they watch archived footage of the process, immediately and collectively deciding that It's Personal.

The High Evolutionary tries to kill Mantis, Drax, and Nebula by feeding them to Abilisks. Instead, Mantis is able to tame them by using her powers to soothe their fear and pain, rather than trying to hurt or attack them as they're likely used to. By the end of the movie, they've become her loyal followers/pets.

comment
Bloodier and Gorier: Not only is Vol. 3 far more bloody and violent than the two films preceding it, but it's one of the most violent films in the MCU, period. Examples include: Adam Warlock's vicious assault on the Guardians, which results in Rocket bleeding out and nearly dying, Nebula cutting off chunks of a planet made of flesh complete with blood, scenes of horrific animal cruelty, Adam accidentally burning the top half of a Ravager to the bone with his laser beams, the brutal climactic corridor fight scene, Rocket tearing the High Evolutionary's face to shreds, and Gamora tearing off his replacement face, which allows us to see the gruesome aftermath in full detail. Suffice to say, the movie pushes its PG-13 rating to its absolute limit, and it's only due to (most of) the blood being of the yellow alien variety that it doesn't get bumped any higher.

Universal Translator: After implying it with previous entries, the film explicitly points out that the Guardians are equipped with such a device, since Mantis comments that her universal translator doesn't recognize the language spoken by the inhabitants of Counter-Earth or by the children on the High Evolutionary's ship. But it turns out that Drax does.

No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: After overpowering them during the fight on Knowhere, Adam Warlock brutally pounds Nebula, then Drax, into the dirt, horrifying nearby spectators. Nebula, who normally bounces back from being mangled like she feels nothing, needs a moment to fully recover from the onslaught, and Drax is left a bloodied mess. During the climax, all of the Guardians, plus Gamora, join in to brutalize the High Evolutionary, leaving him an immobile, faceless wreck before they abandon him to die as his ship explodes.

Mythology Gag
 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: The Guardians' uniforms are a dead ringer for the team's original uniforms from the comics, right down to the color scheme and insignias. As in the Abnett and Lanning comics that inspired the films, the Guardians surprise a powerful enemy by flying Knowhere into the middle of the battle. Groot goes into "Kaiju" mode, in which he expands his body into a much more monstrous form that happens to resemble his comic book appearance. He also takes on a more comic-accurate form in The Stinger, primarily with the tall, jagged branches on the top of his head. When Stakar first appears before the Guardians, he wears a space helmet that evokes his headpiece from the comics. Peter Quill's grandfather is revealed to be named Jason, the name of Quill's father in the comics. Like in Spider-Man Unlimited, the High Evolutionary rules over Counter-Earth, a planet mirroring Earth and populated by humanoid animals he engineered to be the perfect society. During one of Rocket's flashbacks while in his coma, the High Evolutionary attempts to correct his way of speaking by trying to make him pronounce a word in British English rather than American English. This is likely a nod to how Rocket was previously depicted as having a thick Cockney accent in previous adaptations, as well as to the High Evolutionary being a British human in the comics. Krugarr is shown to have identical mystic abilities to Dr. Strange. In the comics, the 30th-century version of Krugarr was Strange's successor. Adam Warlock has a gem on his forehead, similar to how his comic book counterpart carried the Soul Gem there. Obviously it can't be one of the Infinity Stones/Gems like in the comics, so the purpose of the gem is not explained.

Funny Background Event: As Gamora tells Drax and Mantis that they're breaking into the High Evolutionary's pyramid ship, she explains they're doing this because Quill and Groot are in there and they have to get them out. Meanwhile, Peter and Groot fall past with a screaming Recorder. During the one-take hallway battle near the end, look for Drax while Gamora is fighting the large tentacled Hellspawn, and you'll be treated to him bashing a random guard's head into the wall for about five seconds straight.

Lampshade Hanging: The MCU's recent trend of villains with a sympathetic past or understandable motive for their actions is acknowledged when Peter confronts the High Evolutionary and says he's not interested in hearing whatever tragic backstory or ideals he has because nothing could justify the cruelty he's displayed. And Peter is right, as the High Evolutionary is just an abusive monster with no redeeming qualities whatsoever, which is exactly how he was intended to come off as.

Thou Shalt Not Kill
 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 / int_2f94135c
comment
Thou Shalt Not Kill: Played with. The Guardians have always been looser with this than other heroes, but Quill does make an effort to avoid violence when reasonably possible, especially against innocent bystanders, like when infiltrating OrgoCorp. This is juxtaposed with Gamora's attitude of using violence to solve every problem during the same trip. However, by the time they're confronting the High Evolutionary and his direct followers, it's clear they consider them Beyond Redemption and thus have no qualms about killing them, although they do still avoid unnecessary conflict against some random guards. More significantly, Rocket ultimately decides that the High Evolutionary is Not Worth Killing when he has him at his mercy. He states that his status as a Guardian of the Galaxy is his reason for making that choice.

 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 / int_329a19a0
comment
Hollywood Healing: The Guardians have a large supply of MacGuffins called Medpacks that can cure just about any non-lethal injury within seconds (as demonstrated on Mantis' broken arm). As such, Rocket's injuries would be trivial to treat... if the High Evolutionary hadn't put a security system into his implants that would kill him on the spot should anyone attempt to perform a medical procedure on one of his creations without first entering the access code. Most of the present-day scenes of the movie revolve around the Guardians trying to steal a copy of that access code so they can shut down the security system and use a Medpack on Rocket. Groot gets trashed by Adam Warlock when his body is obliterated, and he's shown steadily growing it all back as the movie progresses. He ends up using workarounds by spreading the available mass to appear larger, as well as filling all the hollow space with guns.

 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 / int_32e279c4
comment
Humans Are Flawed: And Humanoids. The High Evolutionary found the creative works of humanity among the best he had seen in the universe, but was turned off by our many negative traits. So he hyper-evolved animals while also eliminating their aggression (this last part only when Rocket figured out the problem for him). However, we see that even despite the forced conditioning, the Humanimals fell into the same vices as humans, such as homelessness and drugs. Because of this, the High Evolutionary decides to exterminate all of them and start again, implied to be the ultimate fate of all his imperfect creations (which is to say, all of them).

Good Thing You Can Heal: Like in the previous movies, Groot frequently loses limbs only to regrow them on the spot or by the next scene. In particular, he is reduced to a head after his fight with Adam Warlock. Nebula suffers horrific injuries, getting her body completely mangled during her fight with Adam Warlock and having her neck broken during the final fight. None of this stops her and she only takes some time to put her limbs back in place. In the latter example, she also continues fighting for a while while her caved-in head is hanging limp on her back.

Throughout the movie, Peter insists that he's not walking into a trap, but a "face-off".

The Fellowship Has Ended: By the end of the film and trilogy, and much like the Avengers at the end of Endgame, the original Guardians team we've followed since 2014 has officially disbanded. However, while the founding team is no more, Rocket (succeeding Quill) recruits a new generation of Guardians to take their places. Further, only Quill and Mantis are truly unavailable for now. Nebula and presumably Drax will still be on Knowhere, and it's easy enough to contact the Ravagers and get Gamora.

Ascended Meme: Perhaps unintentionally, but in a TV spot, Rocket says "So that happened." This quote is commonly associated with discussions about the MCU's style of quippy humor, even though it was never actually spoken in anything associated with a Marvel production (until the ad happened). The line is not in the film proper, but there is a similar sequence where Star-Lord sums up what happened to Gamora in a similar tone.invoked When relating the backstory of his relationship with Gamora, Peter acknowledges that his losing control at Thanos indirectly led to Thanos succeeding in his plan in Infinity War, referencing the "It's all Star-Lord's fault" meme that spread following that film's release.

Team Power Walk: Done twice by the Guardians. First a parody during the opening credits as they walking with Nebula carrying a passed out Quill to bed, and later played straight during the final battle, with Rocket leading the Guardians (and a reluctant Gamora) into battle with the High Evolutionary's forces.

Klingons Love Shakespeare: The High Evolutionary is a fan of Earth opera, and even connects it to his manifesto for creating a perfect world. Rocket has gained a love for Earth music, and is in the habit of stealing Peter's Zune. Come The Stinger and after a time skip, the new Guardians are all fans of human music, each with their own particular favorites.

Foregone Conclusion: Rocket promises to escape with his friends and see the sky together, since it's all being done in flashback we know Rocket has to survive and since his friends were never mentioned or seen before it's obvious they don't survive the escape attempt. Doesn't make it any easier when they all die though.

Skewed Priorities: The High Evolutionary is willing to sacrifice everything to capture Rocket for the sake of creating a "fully perfect species". He destroys the so-called "new world", Counter-Earth and its inhabitants, already knowing that the society they built doesn't meet his standards. He then challenges the Guardians to a showdown, putting his ship and the entire population of his next engineered species at risk. When his subordinates mutiny to prevent further losses he kills them, even as his ship is ravaged by the Guardians and their allies on Knowhere. In the end, Rocket and the other Guardians defeat him, denying him his goal.

Curb-Stomp Battle
 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 / int_3d699462
comment
Curb-Stomp Battle: Adam Warlock's first battle with the Guardians sees him brutally disable Rocket, reduce Groot to just a head, snap Mantis' arm like a twig, and pound both Nebula and Drax into the dirt. It's only when Nebula impales him that Warlock is driven off, and even that doesn't seriously impede him for very long. When the High Evolutionary confronts Rocket for the last time, once the raccoon counters the Evolutionary's gravity powers with his anti-gravity boots and the other Guardians arrive to help, the result is a blisteringly fast, coordinated and utterly brutal thrashing of the madman that cannot even be considered a proper "fight" at all, being resolved without him being able to even throw a single attack at them in under 30 seconds.

Took a Level in Kindness
 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 / int_3dcc914f
comment
Took a Level in Kindness: Rocket, while still being a bit of a jerk, is much nicer than in previous installments. The movie gives him also a Freudian Excuse and finally his backstory, explaining why he is the way he is. Nebula shows a lot more emotions during this movie than she ever did in the previous ones. She cracks a few genuine smiles instead of her usual smirk, whoops with joy at the end when everybody is celebrating on Knowhere, and actually cries when she learns that Rocket is saved. This is particularly heartwarming to see considering this comes from the woman who had no idea on how to react to a pat on the shoulder or a hug. Knowhere used to be a Wretched Hive, but under the influence of the Guardians, and especially by the end of the movie, it's a community with a Family of Choice vibe, happily rescuing children and kidnapped animals from the High Evolutionary and throwing a big Dance Party Ending to celebrate their victory.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Peter jumps into a car ready for a high-speed chase to their goal. Except he struggles to do anything. As it turns out, being taken from your home as a child and being raised without cars means that driving will be extremely difficult. In particular, the car's jerky motions imply Peter is having trouble Driving Stick. Having a loud and angry screaming match in front of a cage of small children, like Mantis and Nebula did, would naturally send them into tearful fright. Drax making them laugh through kind and silly clowning, however, was what earned their affection and trust instead.

Blatant Lies: Drax gives two to Mantis: When Mantis complains that Drax didn't offer any zarg-nuts to her, to which he replies that there aren't any left, before immediately (and incredibly indiscreetly) popping one into his mouth. Later, on Counter-Earth, Drax decides to knock a resident off their motorcycle and ride to the High Evolutionary's tower, going against Quill's orders. When Mantis objects, saying they have to stay with the ship and protect Rocket, Drax states that they are, and are just going to drive back to the ship (which is in walking distance from them). When Mantis hops on, Drax guns straight for the tower, much to Mantis' anger.

 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 / int_40cc0c7e
comment
Bittersweet Ending: The High Evolutionary is beaten (Word of God saying he’s been jailed after Rocket chose to spare him), and his insane designs for the universe are stopped, but Counter-Earth is destroyed, killing countless innocent creatures (and Ayesha). The original Guardians of the Galaxy also disband as its founding members each decide to pursue their own paths in life, and Peter and Gamora ultimately don't get together. However, Drax is able to become a father again by adopting the children formerly imprisoned by the High Evolutionary, Peter stops running from his past and returns to Earth to reunite with his still-alive grandfather, and Rocket steps up to the plate of leading a new band of Guardians to pick up where the original team left off. Meanwhile, Nebula resolves to protect and lead Knowhere, Gamora finds a home with the Ravagers, and Mantis sets out to figure out what she wants to do with her life.

Gory Discretion Shot: Subverted; Rocket's last flashback has him furiously savage the High Evolutionary's face after he kills Lylla, but, aside from brief flashes, the damage goes unseen... until the climax, where Gamora peels off the face that is revealed to be a mask, exposing the hideous extent of the damage for all to see. Played straight involving the process in which the High Evolutionary uplifted Rocket. It's shown twice, and neither time in detail to the audience, but what visuals are used make it obvious that it was both horrific and excruciating. The Guardians are deeply disturbed when they watch archived footage of the process, immediately and collectively deciding that It's Personal.

Rocket gets mortally injured during the first battle and stays in a hospital bed and out of action until the third act. However it's downplayed, as he's still the main focus of the film thanks to the point of the first half of the plot being saving his life and flashbacks revealing his Dark and Troubled Past.

Wham Shot: Of the Internal Reveal variety. Before Rocket faces the High Evolutionary for the last time, he breaks out a group of baby creatures similar to him at their age. He then spots a profile on the cage identifying the species as Raccoons from the planet Earth. After being confused and denying this through the MCU films since his first appearance, this confirms once and for all that he is, in fact, a raccoon himself. When Rocket turns around after his shootout with the guards to see that they have killed Floor and Teef.

Mook–Face Turn: When the High Evolutionary maniacally focuses his attention on hunting down Rocket even as his troops are slaughtered and his ship is blowing up around him, Recorder Vim and the others on the bridge crew pull their guns on him and attempt to mutiny, prompting him to kill them all in turn. Later, several of his soldiers decide to abandon fighting the Guardians to join them in escaping the ship, and are later seen living on Knowhere.

Body Horror
 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 / int_504a1991
comment
Body Horror: Most of the High Evolutionary's experiments are very disturbing to look at, looking like blends of different creatures and cybernetic implements hastily cobbled together. Rocket's friends when he was younger serve as an example. Lylla's arms are replaced with thin metal limbs. Teefs' lower body is replaced with wheels. Floor loses her hindlegs and can move with metallic spider legs while her mouth is replaced with a speaker to talk through. The OrgoCorp headquarters is grown from organic material, which in practice means that it looks like it's made from living skin, hair, flesh, and misplaced body parts. Their security camera looks like a disembodied human eye. It even bleeds. As in the previous movies, Nebula suffers some horrific injuries from which she walks away while her body slowly pops back into shape. The sight of her walking with half her limbs torn at unnatural angles is quite unsettling. The High Evolutionary's real face is pure Facial Horror, looking worse than even the Red Skull, since he looks exactly how you'd expect someone to look after getting mauled by an animal. Just like in the first movie, Quill is almost frozen in space during the explosion of the ship in The Climax. Even after getting back to atmosphere thanks to Warlock saving him, it takes some time for his face to stop being bulgy.

Trap Is the Only Option: Discussed between the Guardians when they make the choice to go to Counter-Earth to confront the High Evolutionary, despite this action also taking Rocket exactly to the place where they don't want him to be. However, Nebula points out that in order to save Rocket's life, this is the only option available to them, while Peter attempts to frame their confrontation with The High Evolutionary as a "face-off".

 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 / int_52a7e035
comment
Doppelgänger Gets Same Sentiment: Star-Lord really projects his feelings about the original Gamora onto the new one — both their romantic relationship, and the found-family one she had with the Guardians. This only serves to piss Gamora off even more, because aside from not knowing Quill or the Guardians, she's fresh off a timeline where she was second-in-command to a genocidal maniac. She even calls Quill out on his incessant need to turn her into a Replacement Goldfish. While the frosty dynamic between Quill and Gamora definitely thaws by the film's end, Gamora chooses to return to the Ravagers, and Quill accepts that this Gamora is a different person.

What Measure Is a Mook?: Zigzagged. Early in the film, Peter insists on no deaths while fighting OrgoCorp. It's not until he witnesses Counter-Earth's destruction that he and the team use lethal force until Rocket declines to kill the High Evolutionary because he's a Guardian of the Galaxy. Shortly after, Peter spares a group of mooks and allows them to evacuate to Knowhere.

Bookends: The film opens and closes with music playing over Knowhere's PA system. In the opening, the Guardians are listening to Radiohead's "Creep" while somberly going about their day. In the conclusion, the whole station joins in a dance party set to Florence + the Machine's "Dog Days Are Over". At the beginning, Mantis asks Drax to dance with her, but he refuses because "only idiots dance". At the end, during the Dance Party Ending, when Drax is surrounded by all the children rescued from the High Evolutionary's ship, he joyously decides to join in. Rocket starts playing the music while sitting alone on a set of stairs in a plaza of Knowhere. During the finale, he's again sitting on a set of stairs and starting the music, but this time he's accompanied by a pair of raccoon kits. Before this, a brief flashback shows a baby creature, handpicked by his brethren, that would become Rocket Raccoon. During the climax, Rocket returns to the cages and starts liberating the same baby creatures. He then finds information that confirms that they are all Earth Raccoons. And so is he. Peter began the trilogy by being abducted, leaving his family and world behind, including his grandpa. He exits the Trilogy by coming back to Earth for a reunion with his grandfather. Peter dances to Redbone's "Come and Get Your Love" in the first film. In the mid-credits scene, Rocket plays the song. There's two The Oners right at the beginning and end of the film. The first was when Adam attacks Knowhere to kidnap Rocket, brutally injuring the Guardians who tried to stop him (most prominently Rocket, whose injuries were almost fatal), because they were caught unaware (Peter was even drinking himself into a stupor just seconds before). While they successfully repelled Adam, Nebula's blow was survivable for someone like him. The second and final one was when the Guardians (plus Adam's new pet) assaulted the High Evolutionary's base, fully showcasing the team's much better combat ability and teamwork when they both had something to fight for and were prepared beforehand. This culminated in every single Guardian taking their potshots at the High Evolutionary, brutally tag-teaming him, before Rocket ultimately decides to spare him but have him imprisoned on Knowhere.

Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole
 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 / int_5663a595
comment
Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: In the comics, the High Evolutionary is a human from Earth, which explains why his New Men and Ani-Men are all uplifted Earth animals. Here, the Humanimals still appear as in the comics, but the High Evolutionary himself is a Human Alien who isn't from Earth, so there's no real explanation why the vast majority of his test subjects are from Earth instead of other planets. The issue is briefly hand waved by having the High Evolutionary mention that he visited Earth once, and liked its culture so much that he wanted to replicate it.

Central Theme: Accepting imperfect things for what they are. Peter suffers from a lot of angst and has taken up drinking over Gamora dying, and spends a chunk of the film in denial that her variant from Endgame isn't the woman he fell in love with. By the end, he accepts her for who she is and they part on good terms, with some Ship Tease potentially hinting at what the future could hold. The Big Bad of the film — The High Evolutionary — is driven by a narcissistic desire to create a world designed to his specifications, accomplishing this by inhumanely experimenting and altering innocent lifeforms and then destroying them when they don't turn out exactly how he desired them to be, willfully ignoring their good qualities in the process. The High Evolutionary's ludicrous, inconsistent standards for his "perfect society" are contrasted by that of Knowhere. Knowhere is a society built, in part by the Guardians, of disparate races and species from across the universe. It's a chaotic society, populated by imperfect beings who frequently squabble, gamble, and annoy each other. But since they accept each other because of their imperfections (not in spite of them), they are all able to pull together whenever the need arises, such as rescuing a shipload of refugees. The High Evolutionary fails, or more likely chooses not to, understand this. Compassion and Empathy: Oddly for a film of the guns-blazing Flash Gordon Space Cowboy genre, kindness and compassion actually solves more of the conflicts in This Volume of Guardians than violence does. While Gamora screaming at the red-skinned receptionist only makes her more reluctant to give her and Quill the security codes, Quill gently acknowledging she is a good person living paycheck to paycheck for a Bad Boss proved to be much more effective. While visiting Counter-Earth, Drax throwing a basketball back in the face of a little bunny girl who threw it to him naturally causes the crowd to turn on the Guardians, with Groot transforming into a colossal Kaiju to drive the mob away, predictably making them panic and pouring oil on the fire. What finally earns the manimals' trust is Peter gently offering a frightened bat-woman, who tripped over and cut her knee during the chaos, a handkerchief to clean her wound. His kindness earns her friendship and hospitality, and a car to drive to the High Evolutionary's ziggurat. Nebula and Mantis violently screaming at each other naturally sends a cell full of small children into tears of terror, making it harder for them to cooperate in their escape from the High Evolutionary's prison. It is Drax's warmly making them laugh that dissolves their fears and earns their trust. While Drax and Nebula are prepared to fight to the bitter end against the three giant tentacled Abilisks that have them cornered and dead to rights, Mantis understands that they are afraid of the torture that the High Evolutionary will inflict on them if they do not kill the trio, gently reaches out to caress one of them, and earns the friendship of all three. Groot earns the friendship of Adam Warlock after saving his life in spite of the latter's repeated attempts to kill the Guardians, warmly telling him "Everyone deserves a second chance." When they reach the area where they need to connect the High Evolutionary's ship and Knowhere to escape, some of his soldiers stand in the way. Instead of having a firefight, Peter tells them they can come with them if they simply put their guns away and the guards take the offer.

Super Prototype: Despite Rocket having been made as a crass prototype for what would eventually become the High Evolutionary's humanimals, he's able to innovate while most of his other experiments seem to lack skills beyond memorization. Instead of treasuring this lightning-in-a-bottle for what it is, he belittles him for his physical imperfections and ensures that he and his friends will die just because Rocket accomplished something that he couldn't, hoping to dissect his brain to isolate his Uniqueness Value so that he could replicate it in later experiments.

comment
Suburbia: Counter-Earth is basically '90s Earth but inhabited by uplifted animals. This leads to a sequence of strangely funny scenes of the Guardians landing in the middle of a suburb, discovering the house of one denizen who would look exactly like Earth, except the inhabitants are bat-people, and the Guardians driving a car.

Demoted to Dragon: Ayesha gets a particularly undignified case of this; after being a lesser part of the Big Bad Ensemble in Vol. 2, she returns here as a henchwoman for the High Evolutionary, who treats her with no respect whatsoever, and whose primary contribution is giving orders to the powerful, but naive and childlike Adam Warlock. It ultimately culminates in her getting blown up in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot during the destruction of the Counter-Earth.

I Take Offense to That Last One: When Peter coldly tells the High Evolutionary, "I don't need another speech by some impotent whack-job whose mother didn't love him rationalizing why he needs to conquer the Universe!", he retorts to the latter part of the accusation, declaring that he is trying to perfect society, not conquer it. Possibly unintentional, as the madman is so narcissistic and self-assured that he does not even register the fact he was called "an impotent whack-job", much less take offense at it.

Replacement Goldfish: Subverted.

Despite some token efforts on his part to pick up the pieces of the relationship that was there, it just doesn't work.

Hourglass Plot: In the first two Guardians movies, Gamora was The Heart of the group, while Nebula was a cynical Anti-Villain who cares more about her own vengeance than anyone or anything else, which results in her coming into conflict with the Guardians on a regular basis. In this film, Nebula has spent enough time with both the Guardians and the Avengers to understand the value of friendship and family, while the time-displaced Gamora variant is a vengeful, angry loner who can't stand the Guardians and cares about her own self-preservation over anything else.

Jerkass Has a Point: While rude, violent, and throwing Quill into a wall was going too far, Gamora 2.0 is perfectly in her right to get angry and call out Peter for pushing the original Gamora's personality onto her and not seeing her as her own person, instead of trying to deal with his own emotional baggage. Nebula definitely lays it on thick when she chews out Drax for being dumb and incompetent after they just barely make it onto the ascending Arete, but she's not wrong that he directly ignored Peter's orders to stay with the ship and as a result could've gotten Gamora and Rocket killed.

Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: When out in space to break into the Orgosphere, each Guardian wears a differently colored space suit. Later Averted. The colour-coded buttons on their arms used to speak to the other suit’s users turn out not to be as convenient as the colours don’t correspond with their suits. The High Evolutionary's ship's airlock barriers give off a different color based on whether they are protecting the ship from the vacuum of space (orange) or not (purple)

Arc Words: "It's good to have friends" and "Sky" for Rocket's flashbacks. Both take on a tragic meaning in the final flashback; just when it seems like the group is free, the High Evolutionary shoots Lylla in the back as she's uttering the former, and the latter is Lylla's last word as she looks up, having never managed to truly see the sky. As Rocket sees Lylla again while nearing death himself, she tells him that she and their friends have been flying through the sky since their deaths, and that he's welcome to join them... but not yet.

comment
Translation by Volume: As the Counter-Earth denizens' language is not recognised by their translators, the Guardians try to make themselves understood by speaking slowly and loudly, along with various pantomimes of disputable quality (for instance, Mantis's face for "our friendnote Rocket is about to die" is hard to distinguish from her face for "our friendnote Drax is stupid"). It somehow works after a fashion with the inhabitants of Counter-Earth, but not so well with the children on the High Evolutionary's spaceship until Drax reveals that he knows their language.

Played for Laughs multiple times: When infiltrating OrgoCorp, Mantis quickly hides the group's spacesuits in a container before the guards arrive. It's not until she sees the suits floating outside the window that she realises she put them in a waste dispenser. Upon arriving on Counter-Earth, a little girl passes Drax a basketball, which he returns by throwing at her and hitting her in the face. This garners the ire of the gathered crowd, who immediately turn into an angry mob. The Guardians are forced to bail.

No One Gets Left Behind: Invoked repeatedly. The entire movie centers around the team risking themselves to help a single wounded member. When Rocket is finally saved, half the team is captured, so the other half goes back for them. After that, the escaped/rescued Guardians insist on going back for all the children The High Evolutionary had taken for future test subjects. And finally, Rocket insists on freeing and evacuating all the animal test subjects after he finds the cage he lived in before he was uplifted, filled with more baby raccoons.

Frankenstein's Monster
 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 / int_7a2ebcba
comment
Frankenstein's Monster: Rocket is this to the High Evolutionary — a science experiment, cobbled together from convenient biological parts, that somehow escaped his grasp and exceeded all expectations. The High Evolutionary takes it very personally that his "inferior" creation turned out to be smarter and more ingenious than him or any of his other "perfect" creations. He even has the "abusive parent" theme going, except Rocket wants absolutely nothing to do with his past, and doesn't even like to talk about it. But when he does face his "father", he acts a lot like the original.

"The Reason You Suck" Speech
 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 / int_7d89315b
comment
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Nebula eventually lets Drax have it after getting tired of his stupidity and minimal contributions to the team, talking about how he keeps screwing up and making things more difficult for the Guardians. In the same breath she also directs her frustrations at Mantis, who fires back by pointing out Drax's kindness in contrast to Nebula's self-loathing and abrasiveness. The High Evolutionary gives a vicious one to Rocket during their confrontation in the climax, though Rocket shuts him up with a blast from his BFG.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!
 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 / int_7fbb2a3
comment
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Played for Laughs multiple times: When infiltrating OrgoCorp, Mantis quickly hides the group's spacesuits in a container before the guards arrive. It's not until she sees the suits floating outside the window that she realises she put them in a waste dispenser. Upon arriving on Counter-Earth, a little girl passes Drax a basketball, which he returns by throwing at her and hitting her in the face. This garners the ire of the gathered crowd, who immediately turn into an angry mob. The Guardians are forced to bail. Quill mocks the High Evolutionary for calling Counter-Earth perfect after the Guardians witnessed a meth deal between some Humanimals. This tattle on this one little misdemeanor quite possibly convinces the High Evolutionary that Counter-Earth is a failure and promptly destroys it and all the inhabitants living on it. (It's also possible he knew it was a failure already, and only kept it around because it was more convenient for his trap.) In a dramatic instance, however, Nebula discusses the trope as she gives a massive "The Reason You Suck" Speech towards Drax after being fed up with him constantly screwing up and making things harder for the other Guardians.

Establishing Character Moment
 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 / int_7febc23b
comment
Establishing Character Moment: In the High Evolutionary's first scene, he orders around Ayesha. He stands on a invoked Scully Box to look her in the eye, which makes him seem petty and insecure...and then he starts inspecting her face and eyes like a farmer or vet inspecting an animal. This is the leader of the powerful Sovereign race, and he treats her like a sick pet. Adam Warlock's first scene: he bursts into Knowhere to tangle with the Guardians, beats most of them handily, and No Sells Kraglin's arrow. However he's also obviously confused and manages to lose track of Rocket despite holding him, eventually running away after Nebula gets in a sneak attack.

When not in uniform, Drax now wears a black sleeveless vest, instead of going shirtless like in the other films.

AM/FM Characterization
 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 / int_81414673
comment
AM/FM Characterization: After the Age Cut, the film opens with Rocket quietly singing along to Radiohead's "Creep", which he is playing over Knowhere's PA system. It demonstrates that despite having a Found Family, Rocket still considers himself a freak of nature that shouldn't exist. In sharp contrast to the titular Guardians (and Ego), the High Evolutionary is shown primarily listening to Earth's classical and opera music, signifying his more prestigious nature and admiration for the technical achievements of humanity rather than the friendly rough-and-tumble heroes we've come to love. The final song played in the film before the credits is "Dog Days Are Over" by Florence + the Machine. While all the other songs in the films are fairly old, being from the early-mid 90s at latest and more frequently hailing from the 70s and 80s, "Dog Days" is from 2009, making it by far the newest song on the soundtrack. It's therefore not coincidental that it plays when the Guardians put the past behind them and go their separate ways. In the post-credits scene, Rocket asks the new Guardians who their favorite musicians are— all of them serving to show off their personalities a bit. Phyla lists Britney Spears and Korn— one being a pop artist typical for a young girl, the other being a Nu Metal act to show she has a bit of an edge to her. Kraglin mentions Garth Brooks, a very "man's man" country singer, showing his attitude of rough-hewn masculinity. Cosmo answers Carpenters, a melodic pop duo best known for Silly Love Songs, expressing Cosmo's sentimentality. Adam Warlock cites Adrian Belew, specifically his work with King Crimson, a progressive rock group, suggesting him to be cultured and alternative in taste but not snobby. And Rocket lands on Redbone, specifically "Come and Get Your Love"—long demonstrated to be one of Peter's favorite songs.

Apocalypse How: At least a Class-5 for Counter-Earth, possibly even Class-X, although we don't see the aftermath of it, and only its version of New York Class-0 is showcased. Pretty much the entire Humanimals civilization is annihilated.

Back for the Finale: Yondu is seen in a vision by Kraglin, and Pete's grandfather appears at the end (reading a newspaper with a story about Kevin Bacon being abducted by aliens), while Cosmo's poker game features the Broker (from the first film), Bzermikitokolok (from the Christmas Special), and Howard the Duck. In addition, the Ravagers Stakar, Martinex, Krugarr, and Mainframe return, and both Thor and Stan Lee are seen in the scrapbook photos over the end credits.

Copycat Mockery: A particularly cruel example. When Rocket screams and sobs after Lylla is murdered, the High Evolutionary (the one who killed her) makes fun of his pain by imitating him ("All right, P-1-3! You win the crying contest! Now back in the cage!"). This ultimately proves to be a very big mistake.

Villainous Breakdown: The High Evolutionary seems in control, but when something doesn't go his way he flies into a sudden rage, which only gets worse as the movie progresses. When even his closest minions turn on him and try to stage a mutiny, the High Evolutionary murders them all in a fit of rage and sics everything he's got onto the Guardians, regardless of risks.

Tragic Keepsake: In the opening of the film, Rocket sadly looks at some device then slips it into his holster. Halfway through the movie, the flashbacks reveal it's the key he jury-rigged to get his friends out of their cells and attempt to escape the High Evolutionary. Gamora goes through Peter's old backpack. It contains old baseball cards, a He-Man action figure, an old report card, and a family photo.

I Hate Past Me: While not technically a past her, Alternate Gamora expresses increasing disgust and disbelief that she'd ever fall in with a pack of goofy, idiot wimps getting in her way with things like "not harming civilians", culminating in a temper tantrum of her literally spitting at the Guardians and their methods before sulking off and calling for the Ravagers to come get her, that indirectly leads to the High Evolutionary setting up a trap.

Creative Sterility: The High Evolutionary's creations are very intelligent, able to learn and apply advanced knowledge, but ultimately only demonstrate rote memorization and are not capable of true innovation. Rocket is, for unknown reasons, the only exception among many generations of experiments. The High Evolutionary's focus on recapturing him is not in order to reclaim any secret tech contained in his body, but to dissect and study his brain to try and replicate his intellect in future generations.

Foreshadowing
 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: The sign for the Guardians of the Galaxy's office is broken during the fight with Adam. The team itself breaks up in the finale. In the opening scene, when Quill is roused out of his drunken stupor by seeing Rocket with his Zune, Rocket is also wearing his signature outfit (resized, of course). At the end of the movie Rocket ends up the new Captain of the Guardians, taking Peter's role and place for real, and is given the Zune as a parting gift. The High Evolutionary threatens to destroy the Sovereign civilization if Adam and Ayesha fail him again, and Ayesha confirms he can do so easily. Counter-Earth, having failed to meet the High Evolutionary's standards, is summarily destroyed. Adam Warlock is implied early on to be a fundamentally good person, as he shows remorse to even accidental killings and compassion towards orphaned animals, in stark contrast to his intellectually potent but emotionally stunted creator The High Evolutionary, who casually disregards all life as broken toys, justifying his Heel–Face Turn when shown genuine kindness by The Guardians of the Galaxy. Counter-Earth is meant to be a peaceful utopia, but when the Guardians arrive it takes little provocation for a crowd to begin stoning them, and the car they borrow is visibly dirty. Not long after we see that Counter-Earth has fallen prey to urban and societal decay. Shortly before the Guardians arrive on Counter-Earth, we are shown the High Evolutionary's latest project, and Recorder Theel suggests "moving to the new colony", implying that the High Evolutionary has decided to move on from Counter-Earth. When it happens, this is not nearly as innocuous and harmless to Counter-Earth as it sounds. Peter hilariously calls the High Revolutionary a "stretched-faced, RoboCop-lookin', Skeletor wannabe" while insulting him over the radio. Just like Alex Murphy, the High Revolutionary's "face" is nothing more than rubbery skin that exists to cover up his heavily mutilated face. While heading into what is clearly a trap set by the High Evolutionary, Quill insists on referring to the encounter as a "face-off". After the High Evolutionary is defeated by the Guardians, Gamora quite literally peels his face off to reveal the damage Rocket inflicted on him in the past. The actual face-off in space also includes Knowhere arriving to attack the High Evolutionary, another literal face-off. In Infinity War, Thor assumes Rocket is the leader of the Guardians and Rocket plays along with it despite Quill pointing out that he's the captain, and Lylla tells Rocket in his near-death vision that Rocket has always been the main character. By the end of this film, Quill officially makes Rocket the new "captain" of the Guardians. In Rocket's flashbacks, the High Evolutionary is often shown putting his hand or hands around Rocket's relatively tiny head, and the first thing we see of him is his hand reaching for baby Rocket. It's not violence, but it does threaten violence and work as a show of dominance. In the High Evolutionary's first full scene, he examines Ayesha by inspecting her mouth, like she's livestock. The last thing young Rocket does to the High Evolutionary on his way out the door is put his hands on the High Evolutionary's head. And it is certainly violent.

comment
Made of Iron: Rocket showcases this more than any other movie he's been in. He gets slammed through various structures by Adam Warlock, and the High Evolutionary uses his gravity powers to smash Rocket into the walls and ceiling of his ship. The High Evolutionary's gravity powers were also enough to completely subdue Adam Warlock. Taking a point-blank blast from Adam does manage to nearly kill Rocket, however. It may be worth noting that Rocket is a cyborg, so parts of him are perhaps literally made of iron, and in both cases where he was attacked, his assailant was trying to bring him in to have his brain removed later for study and was probably not trying to risk injury to him which could ruin that. Adam easily survives being stabbed through the heart by Nebula. And though powerful explosions are enough to kill Sovereigns — as demonstrated with Ayesha — Adam Warlock manages to mostly get by just fine after Star-Lord surprises him with an explosion. He only takes Clothing Damage and is no worse for wear after briefly falling unconscious.

I Let Gwen Stacy Die: Rocket feels responsible for Lylla, Floor and Teefs' deaths because he was the one trying to break them all out. Even after many years, he still has never forgiven himself and apologizes to Lylla when he sees her again in the afterlife. Peter equally feels responsible for letting his Gamora die, and constantly tries to get back with the Alternate Gamora, partially to assuage his guilt over the fact both his attempts at saving her ended in Thanos winning.

Continuity Nod: Groot quotes his predecessor's famous "We are Groot." line mid-firefight, but only in the trailers. In the movie proper, he similarly goes off-script to say "I love you guys." — though this is apparently the audience understanding Groot as opposed to him speaking English. The Guardians are still piloting the Bowie, the new ship that Mantis and Drax used to fly to Earth in The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. Three Abilisks, the same species as the monster that the Guardians fought in the opening fight of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, appear near the film's end. Nebula and Groot do the same Ravager salute Yondu's Ravager crew did when attending his funeral in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. The group also wears the same outfits as Baby Groot did in that film, albeit form-fitting for each character. In the second post-credits scene, a newspaper headline references how Kevin Bacon got abducted by aliens, alluding to the events of The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special.

Mundanger: Unlike Thanos, Ronan and Ego in the previous films, the High Evolutionary poses no immediate threat to the wider universe, and his plans and ambitions are completely contained to planets and societies of his own creation. At his core, he's simply a Mad Scientist with a god complex who tortures and kills innocent creatures in pursuit of his studies, making him by far one of the scariest and most purely evil villains in the entire MCU.

It's Personal: The High Evolutionary is bending his entire corporate and militaristic empire towards finding Rocket, supposedly to dissect Rocket's brain for being his only creation to display actual ingenuity, but it becomes clear over the course of the film that it's just as much revenge for Rocket having the gall to defy the High Evolutionary's utopian plans and for mutilating his face. Peter is initially against killing anyone at OrgoCorp, only caring about getting the files with the passcode to Rocket's kill-switch and leaving. This changes after he opens the files on Rocket's past and learns about the depraved and cruel experiments they put Rocket through, and he becomes completely enraged by what he sees. The gloves are off, Peter is out for blood. When he and Groot arrive at OrgoCorp's headquarters on Counter-Earth, he coldly states his intentions to murder them all and makes good on his word by shooting down a good chunk of the High Evolutionary's men alongside Groot and personally giving Recorder Theel (who performed the operations on Rocket) an over-the-top and gruesome death.

Heaven: When Rocket temporarily flatlines, he finds himself in a white void where Lylla, Teefs, and Floor are waiting for him. Lylla then states he'll soon join them in the "forever and beautiful sky". It doesn't take a philosopher to figure out what that's referring to.

Meat Moss: The Orgosphere is an entire space station and corporate headquarters built from living tissue. While the inside is relatively sterile and has a more user-friendly appearance, the exterior is almost entirely flesh and skin.

Dumb Muscle
 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 / int_a18fda9c
comment
Of Drax's role as the Dumb Muscle. Nebula eventually becomes furious with Drax's lack of self-awareness, yelling how everyone is constantly carrying him on this team while he remains cheerfully oblivious to how very little he contributes to the team. Mantis points out that while she does think he's stupid, which Drax is hurt by until she makes him forget, he's also a caring person and the only member of the team not haunted by his Dark and Troubled Past. Nebula also comes to see that his dumb but well-meaning nature is what made him an amazing father in the past and important to getting the kids to safety, with the ending have her tell Drax that he was not born to be a destroyer, but to be a father which is why he takes responsibility of the freed children.

Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: Both Ego and the High Evolutionary are visionary villains who want to create an environment they deem better, and both of them are interested in one of the Guardians because of their respective target's Uniqueness Value across many subjects. They, however, differ vastly in their methods: Ego created his subjects in the "natural" way, while the High Evolutionary does it through artificial means; also, Ego wanted everything to be like him so he was a threat to the entire universe, while the High Evolutionary wants to create a perfect society, so he poses a threat specifically to the Guardians, his own creations and whoever else happens to get on his way.

Mood Whiplash: The High Evolutionary's first scene sees his minions provide him with a stool so that he can tower over Ayesha (Elizabeth Debicki is about 6� taller than Chukwudi Iwuji, and is deliberately shown to be wearing massive heels). At first, it seems like this is for humor, and the High Evolutionary is insecure about her being taller than him. But then he begins inspecting her teeth and eyes like she's a piece of livestock while she can only meekly submit, making it very clear that he regards her as completely beneath him to the point of not even treating her as a person.

Language Barrier: Whatever languages the inhabitants of Counter-Earth and the Star Children speak, this isn't on most translators and the heroes have to do with acting up, drawings or images to get their points across. This is insisted upon with the lack of subtitles so the audience also has no idea what they are talking about.

Humanity Is Infectious: Counter-Earth was inspired by a visit the High Evolutionary took to the real Earth years ago. The High Evolutionary, similarly to Ego, became quite fond of Earth culture and arts. He was even inspired to create his own Earthlike society in the form of Counter-Earth. Which then ends up developing all the flaws of Earth culture as well.

Because this Gamora is different from the one who Thanos sacrificed in Infinity War, she is shown to be very ruthless throughout the film, with no qualms about taking hostages or shooting (albeit non-lethally) people who are unarmed and surrendering, but seeing the High Evolutionary destroying Counter-Earth and every living soul upon it absolutely horrifies and disgusts her, with Gamora even wondering what kind of person could do such a thing. And this is despite her adoptive father having regularly slaughtered half the population of entire planets, including her own.

Perfect Pacifist People: This is the kind of population the High Evolutionary wants inhabiting his utopia and he specifically orders new lifeforms to be designed with their capacity for violence removed. Subverted in Counter-Earth, as its populace pelts the Guardians with objects after Drax throws a little girl's ball in her face; one citizen brutally beats up another with a baseball bat and a drug dealer sells his "goods" to children. The High Evolutionary is aware of these imperfections, and proceeds to destroy Counter-Earth as a result.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: The High Evolutionary breaking Adam Warlock out of his cocoon early means that he's considerably weaker and more childish than he should be. He fails to capture Rocket and the injuries he inflicts on him are what tip the Guardians off to Rocket's kill-switch, sending them on their path towards the Evolutionary.

Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: Lampshaded by Peter when confronting the High Evolutionary at Counter-Earth. He makes it clear he has no interest in hearing whatever tragic backstory the villain could have, and that nothing justifies what he has done so far. Of course, the High Evolutionary is never actually presented with one. He's just an evil bastard with a god complex.

Retcon: In Vol. 2, Ayesha implies in one of the Stingers that she answers to a higher "council" that disapproved of her wasting resources to pursue the Guardians. In this film, it's revealed that Ayesha and her species are creations of the High Evolutionary, and they are all subservient to him. In the first Guardians, Rocket's record when he is processed by the Nova Corps includes Lylla as a "known associate". She is killed by the High Evolutionary before the events of that film, making that Easter Egg erroneous.

 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 / int_b4a6ae4c
comment
Everyone Has Standards: A variation with Nebula. Given everything Thanos put her through, you'd think Nebula (justifiably) has a monopoly on suffering body trauma and unwilling cybernetic augmentation. But even she's horrified and appalled upon learning the full details of the High Evolutionary's experiments. She outright says that what he did to Rocket is worse than what Thanos did to her. Because this Gamora is different from the one who Thanos sacrificed in Infinity War, she is shown to be very ruthless throughout the film, with no qualms about taking hostages or shooting (albeit non-lethally) people who are unarmed and surrendering, but seeing the High Evolutionary destroying Counter-Earth and every living soul upon it absolutely horrifies and disgusts her, with Gamora even wondering what kind of person could do such a thing. And this is despite her adoptive father having regularly slaughtered half the population of entire planets, including her own. Played for Laughs; according to Cosmo, despite the Soviets firing her into space with no intentions of bringing her back, even they never called her a "bad dog" like Kraglin did. The High Evolutionary's minions try to mutiny against their master when it becomes clear to them that he prioritizes Rocket's capture over the fact that their ship is in flames. They draw their guns on him and try to force him to stand down, but he simply kills everyone present. After Adam kills a Ravager, he sees the Ravager's pet looking sad, and decides to adopt it, despite his mother's wishes and the High Evolutionary's likely distaste. He even takes it with him on a mission to keep Ayesha from killing it.

On Counter-Earth, an angry crowd of alien civilians throws an object at Quill's head, and Drax laughs at Quill. The crowd of aliens starts throwing stuff at Drax as well. Which annoys him.

Beam Me Up, Scotty!
 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 / int_bcb2cfe1
comment
Perhaps unintentionally, but in a TV spot, Rocket says "So that happened." This quote is commonly associated with discussions about the MCU's style of quippy humor, even though it was never actually spoken in anything associated with a Marvel production (until the ad happened). The line is not in the film proper, but there is a similar sequence where Star-Lord sums up what happened to Gamora in a similar tone.invoked

Used to Be a Sweet Kid: We finally get to see Rocket's backstory. He and other animals were brutally experimented on, with horrifically painful procedures that left them as Body Horror monstrosities... who still enjoyed playing tag and dreamed of exploring the universe and seeing the wonders it provided.

Irony
 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 / int_c335b9ec
comment
Irony: During the Orgosphere heist, Gamora (who is green) wears a blue suit. Nebula (who is blue) wears a green suit. In the first two Guardians films, Gamora was wholeheartedly devoted to the Guardians, while Nebula was a murderous outsider who couldn't stand any of them. By the time of this film, Nebula has come to accept the Guardians as her family, while a time-displaced Gamora is disgusted at what the Guardians are, Quill in particular. In the climax, the High Evolutionary implicitly got his gravity powers after Rocket beat him, so he would be more physically formidable. When he uses his gravity powers to immobilize Rocket, Rocket counters them in seconds, with a random gadget he made for no real reason. Followed by a complete beatdown by Rocket's new family, which is symbolic vengeance for his first family, in the same room where the High Evolutionary revealed to Rocket that he was never planning to bring him and his friends to Counter-Earth. The only reason it's not Death by Irony is that Rocket doesn't even consider him worth killing.

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Following on from the Holiday Special, the Guardians are now permanently stationed at their new base on Knowhere. The whereabouts of its previous owner, the Collector, remain unknown. Before infiltrating OrgoCorp, the Guardians rendezvous with Stakar and his Ravagers, who were introduced in the previous film. While Martinex, Krugarr and Mainframe return, Charlie-27 and Stakar's wife Aleta are not seen or mentioned.

comment
While visiting Counter-Earth, Drax throwing a basketball back in the face of a little bunny girl who threw it to him naturally causes the crowd to turn on the Guardians, with Groot transforming into a colossal Kaiju to drive the mob away, predictably making them panic and pouring oil on the fire. What finally earns the manimals' trust is Peter gently offering a frightened bat-woman, who tripped over and cut her knee during the chaos, a handkerchief to clean her wound. His kindness earns her friendship and hospitality, and a car to drive to the High Evolutionary's ziggurat.

Hope Spot
 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 / int_c3c18143
comment
Hope Spot: Upon learning that the High Evolutionary is planning to remove his brain after helping him create perfect creatures, Young Rocket crafts a makeshift key card and uses it to free himself, Lylla, Floor and Teefs. Unfortunately, the High Evolutionary anticipated that he'd try such a thing. He lies in wait and shoots Lylla in the back just as Rocket frees her from her cell. Floor and Teefs are then gunned down by the High Evolutionary's guards in the crossfire, leaving Rocket to escape alone. After a tense moment where it looks like several of the Guardians might die, they do manage to successfully pull off the heist at OrgoCorp and escape with what they need to save Rocket, only to find upon examining the data the one thing they do need, the code for the kill-switch, has been extracted and erased, putting them back at square one.

Of the Internal Reveal variety. Before Rocket faces the High Evolutionary for the last time, he breaks out a group of baby creatures similar to him at their age. He then spots a profile on the cage identifying the species as Raccoons from the planet Earth. After being confused and denying this through the MCU films since his first appearance, this confirms once and for all that he is, in fact, a raccoon himself.

Shout-Out
 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Adam Warlock's introductory shot is done in the style of something like Flash Gordon as he approaches the camera, complete with a catchy '70s-esque overtone courtesy of Heart (Band)'s "Crazy on You". Groot is turned into a head with spider-like appendages. Among the contents of Quill's backpack are a Panthro action figure and some ALF trading cards. The Organic Technology meets Ascetic Aesthetic of OrgoCorp appears to be a homage to the set design of Argo City from Supergirl. Word of Godinvoked says that the colorful spacesuits our heroes wear to infiltrate OrgoCorp are inspired by 2001: A Space Odyssey. Quill, when trying to charm Ura, introduces himself as Patrick Swayze. This isn't the first time a plucky and clever space hero with Daddy Issues disables his enemies by hacking their armor and being charming. Except the other guy's name was Miles Vorkosigan. Quill likens the High Evolutionary's face to RoboCop and Skeletor. THE's "stretched face" also resembles the Son'a from Star Trek: Insurrection, but Quill wouldn't know about that movie because it came out after he was abducted from Earth. Immediately upon entering Counter-Earth, Quill and crew are assaulted with rocks from the denizens of Counter-Earth, harking back to a similar reaction to humans upon finding a planet of animals. Probably not a coincidence that their ship passed by Counter-Earth's version of the Statue of Liberty (modeled after the High Evolutionary) when arriving. The octopus-like drug dealer briefly seen on Counter-Earth looks similar to a blue-skinned Grant Grant, the Big Bad from James Gunn's earlier work Slither.

Walking Shirtless Scene: For once, Drax actually averts this trope, and spends the whole film wearing outfits that completely cover the top half of his body, despite his previous claims about the sensitivity of his nipples. Rocket spends most of the film shirtless, having taken it off earlier in the film and didn't put another one on due to the circumstances. Justified, as his injury is on his chest. Adam is basically shirtless by the end of the movie with his shirt hanging by a single thread.

comment
Adaptational Wimp: In the comics, Adam Warlock is a cosmic-level being capable of going toe-to-toe with Thanos. Here, however, he has significant difficulty in apprehending one Ragtag Band of Misfits. This is justified when it is revealed the High Evolutionary called for his awakening sooner than required. Because of this, he has the personality of a child needing to be guided. Despite showing how powerful he is, said powers have supposedly not fully matured yet.

Living MacGuffin: The High Evolutionary is seeking Rocket because he is unique among his creations in his ability to innovate, while all the others simply mimic or memorize what they see. Meanwhile, the MacGuffin that the Guardians are desperately searching for is the access code that will deactivate the kill switch inside Rocket's body.

Intimate Healing: Played for Laughs; when Quill is suffering from deep depression over the loss of Gamora, it's suggested that Mantis "touch him and make him feel good" (by using her telepathic powers). Multiple people present misunderstand what is being suggested. Considering the fact that Mantis is Peter's half-sister, the Guardians and everyone else that heard it are understandably disgusted.

Ship Tease: Quill and Nebula, of all people. Throughout the film it is shown that they've gotten much closer while leading the team, often behaving Like an Old Married Couple, and while Nebula dismisses the idea when Gamora suggests it, Quill seems to seriously consider it, and tries to lay on the charm. Quill does get some tease with Gamora again when they both stare at each other longingly in one scene. They ultimately don't get together. Nebula, piloting the High Evolutionary's ship, asks Kraglin for help while he pilots Knowhere. He quips "Kragula back in action!"

Decoy Protagonist: The film makes a case that Star-Lord is not the true central character of the trilogy, despite the first two movies focusing heavily on him — Rocket takes that role, with each film representing a step on his journey, culminating in him becoming Captain of the Guardians of the Galaxy. This is reinforced by a line spoken by Lylla:

 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 / int_df4b69d6
comment
Uncomfortable Elevator Moment: As they are raiding OrgoCorp, Nebula, Quill and Gamora, along with their hostage Ura (that Gamora is holding at gunpoint), take an elevator together. Besides the alien muzak, the awkwardness of the moment is increased by Quill bickering with Gamora over her overuse of violence, leading to Peter starting to pour out about his past relationship with his Gamora, to Ura's rising discomfort. The funniest part is that they follow the unspoken elevator protocol all along, except when the argument gets too heated and they glance at each others, before snapping back to looking straight ahead.

Decon-Recon Switch
 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 / int_e0113647
comment
Decon-Recon Switch: All over the place. Of the Ragtag Bunch of Misfits that the Guardians are famous for being. Despite having worked together for years by this point and being famous heroes, their numerous differences still often result in Teeth-Clenched Teamwork, to the point that Nebula outright accuses Drax and Mantis of being The Load while Mantis also insults Nebula, and it becomes a plot point that everyone is constantly making separate plans simply because they feel like it, resulting in half of the team breaking into the High Evolutionary's ship to rescue Quill and Groot who have already escaped. Despite this, however, the Guardians are genuine True Companions who love each other like family and their many differences are what allow them to work together so well as a team as well as bring unique skills and experiences. Of the Replacement Goldfish. Quill at first tries to recreate a connection with the Gamora from 2014, having spent years mourning her death but is consistently horrified by how brutal the new Gamora is while she is angered by Quill's attempts to make her like the original Gamora. Gamora also points out that Quill's need for her to be someone important to him reveals that there is something wrong with him. Despite this, while they don't begin any sort of romance Quill and Gamora part on friendly terms, Gamora having come to see why the original Gamora could have fallen for Quill and saying they "must have been fun" while Quill recognises her as a different person from his Gamora and acknowledges that his need to have his version back stems from how he's been running from the pain of his mother's death for decades. Of Drax's role as the Dumb Muscle. Nebula eventually becomes furious with Drax's lack of self-awareness, yelling how everyone is constantly carrying him on this team while he remains cheerfully oblivious to how very little he contributes to the team. Mantis points out that while she does think he's stupid, which Drax is hurt by until she makes him forget, he's also a caring person and the only member of the team not haunted by his Dark and Troubled Past. Nebula also comes to see that his dumb but well-meaning nature is what made him an amazing father in the past and important to getting the kids to safety, with the ending have her tell Drax that he was not born to be a destroyer, but to be a father which is why he takes responsibility of the freed children. Of Mantis' role as The Heart. Nebula points out that her role mostly involves sensing peoples' feelings and talking about it with them, making her in Nebula's eyes just as useless as Drax. However, the film shows that her empathic abilities make her able to befriend any creature, including the alien monsters that the High Evolutionary hoped would kill them. It also allows her to encourage and help her allies, such as when Cosmo's exhaustion almost caused her to lose focus in using her powers.

Insistent Terminology: The High Evolutionary never refers to Rocket by his chosen name, only by the designation he gave him ("89P13"). Granted, he may have never known Rocket's chosen name, but one gets the impression that even if he did, he wouldn't have cared. This bugs Rocket enough to fully embrace the label of "Rocket Raccoon" before he and the other Guardians beat the shit out of him and ultimately defeat him. While the other Guardians insist that Star-Lord is walking into a trap by going right into the High Evolutionary's lair, Peter Quill repeatedly states that it's a "face-off". Thanks to Groot smuggling weapons into battle, he's right.

Adam easily survives being stabbed through the heart by Nebula.

He only takes Clothing Damage and is no worse for wear after briefly falling unconscious.

Continuing from previous movies, no one gets Rocket's species correct except Peter and Lylla. Almost every other character who tries calls him a different, completely incorrect animal. And Rocket continues to deny that he's a raccoon, even having his final words to Lylla in the possible afterlife before being revived being "I'm not a raccoon." Ultimately, he finally accepts that he is in fact a raccoon after finding the cage he was held in before being experimented on, which clearly states his species and origins. He later insists to the High Evolutionary that his name is "Rocket Raccoon".

The new Gamora is violent, ruthless, and with very few scruples — so when she's willing to join the Guardians on a "We Help the Helpless" mission, it demonstrates just how bad the High Evolutionary is. Just like her sister, Nebula is generally pretty stoic and unsympathetic towards her fellow Guardians, even if she considers them family. But after discovering that Rocket is awake and no longer dying, she begins openly weeping for the first time ever, clearly happy that he's alive. Usually, when the Guardians fight, there's quips, jokes, flashy takedowns, and trying to equate with their foe. But during the final confrontation with the High Evolutionary, it has none of that; in fact, no one is talking at all. Also their attacks are more brutal and efficient than usual, which shows just how enraged they all are with the High Evolutionary for everything he did to Rocket. Inverted in the ending. Normally stoic Drax cheerfully dances with the kids, despite his stated distaste for dancing.

Adaptation Species Change: The High Evolutionary is a Human Alien of unrevealed origins, while his comics counterpart is an Earth human. Phyla is a member of a created race called the Star Children rather than a Kree/Eternal hybrid.

The High Evolutionary never refers to Rocket by his chosen name, only by the designation he gave him ("89P13"). Granted, he may have never known Rocket's chosen name, but one gets the impression that even if he did, he wouldn't have cared. This bugs Rocket enough to fully embrace the label of "Rocket Raccoon" before he and the other Guardians beat the shit out of him and ultimately defeat him.

Running Gagged: Quill keeps calling Rocket a raccoon, which he has said throughout the films he is not a raccoon but a non-Earth animal that looks like a raccoon. Rocket finds the original litter he was from and learns that the High Evolutionary actually visited Earth and pulled many animals from a zoo, and his original species really is a raccoon. Facing the High Evolutionary once more, he emphatically denounces his 89P13 designation and calls himself Rocket Raccoon.

Too Good for This Sinful Earth: Lylla, Teefs, and Floor were nothing but Rocket's best friends and the bright spots in otherwise hellish condition. Lylla is murdered by the High Evolutionary and Teefs and Floor are killed by his men when they try to escape. One of the residents of Counter-Earth is a bat woman who takes the Guardians into her house and gives them directions to the High Evolutionary thanks to Peter showing her kindness despite Drax having earlier made a very bad first impression for the group. She's killed alongside her family when the High Evolutionary blows up Counter-Earth for no other reason than it failed his standards of perfection.

Locked Out of the Loop: Despite having bonded with the Guardians over the last decade, Rocket has never told his surrogate family about his own traumatic origins (or at least beyond what he accidentally let slip during his drunken tirade in the first film). So, the Guardians know nothing of the High Evolutionary or OrgoCorp until they start digging and following the trail — and are left horrified by the revelations. A tearful Mantis even lampshades it, wondering why Rocket never told them any of this.

Quill accepts that he's been running from the pain of his mother's death and leaves to reunite with his grandfather on Earth, Rocket defeats the High Evolutionary and resolves his own painful past to become the new leader of the Guardians, the new version of Gamora finds a family of her own with the Ravagers while parting on good terms with the Guardians, Nebula decides to help Knowhere rebuild and provide others the home she never had, Drax becomes the protector to the children the High Evolutionary was experimenting on, Mantis realizes that she's spent her entire life doing what others wanted and resolves to figure out what she wants to do with her life, and Kraglin finally gains control of Yondu's arrow.

Running Gag
 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: Continuing from previous movies, no one gets Rocket's species correct except Peter and Lylla. Almost every other character who tries calls him a different, completely incorrect animal. And Rocket continues to deny that he's a raccoon, even having his final words to Lylla in the possible afterlife before being revived being "I'm not a raccoon." Ultimately, he finally accepts that he is in fact a raccoon after finding the cage he was held in before being experimented on, which clearly states his species and origins. He later insists to the High Evolutionary that his name is "Rocket Raccoon". Every time Quill calls Rocket his best friend, Drax corrects him and insists that Rocket is his second best friend. Cosmo being indignant about Kraglin calling her a "bad dog" and demanding he take it back. Kraglin admits she is a good dog after Cosmo saves his life from one of the villain's mooks, which pleases her very much. Master Karja never misses an opportunity to say that one of his squadmates is stupid when people tell him someone in their own group is stupid. Gamora constantly has no clue what Groot is saying, hearing only "I am Groot", and accuses the others of inventing meaning behind his words. By the end of the film, she becomes emotionally close enough to understand him. Several Guardians pull off death-defying stunts, while immediately asking if they looked cool to the others. Mantis keeps crashing on the floor in very awkward ways. Once right on her face, vertically. Several instances of "did that look cool?", culminating in Quill saying such after nearly suffocating in space. Several times throughout the movie after Adam Warlock is subdued after getting into a fight with the Guardians, he gets back up after a short while... And then immediately falls over again, unable to bring himself to keep fighting.

She ends the film returning to the Ravagers as her new family, though parts with the Guardians on respectful terms.

Shown Their Work: Oddly enough for this strongly pulp-influenced series, in the climax, Mantis possibly figures out that the scary-looking Abilisks with More Teeth than the Osmond Family are roaring as a threat display, and don't actually want to harm her, Nebula, and Drax. Threat displays are a common purpose of roars in real-life animals, even though fictional animals regularly use it just to announce their presence. These big guys are actually scared.
