| mZuzek said: Well I guess we'll just settle with 2 threads, then. I agree with you. I mean, obviously I like both of these movies way more than you do, but the things you pointed out are true. Vol. 2 shines over its predecessor because of the drama and character development, and even though the humor is more childish (crap jokes, dick jokes, puking, it really has it all), it somehow still feels natural. |
Sorry, didn't see your link. xD (I might as well reply here already, I guess)
One thing I really liked is the amount of Yondu screentime. Felt he was an interesting character on the original, and really liked everytime he was here onscreen, particulary that psycopathic sequence of Yondu killing everyone on the ship. And he really feels connected, you know, instead of being some overused joke cliché like in the original. In fact this is something I can say for the whole movie: it had such a huge amount of characters and they really tried their best giving equal screentime to each other. As a downside, Gamora really doesn't do anything at all in the whole movie (aside finishing her own personal arc with his sister), but I really preferred it this way. It really struck a sweet balance with Quill, Drax, Groot, Racoon, Ego, Nebula and even Yondu's subordinate, Broker. In fact I was really "happy" in a sense that the movie had the balls to leave the final fifteen minutes of pure emotional ride, and not lessen it or cheapen with any out of place joke. I'm cool with credit sequences being goofy, because they could respect that. Not like the original, where like Groot dies and thirty seconds later you have Quill dancing.
