Its a good movie, I enjoyed it. I wasnt in love with the first as much as everyone else, oh it was a good movie but as a comics fan and a fan of DNA's whole Annihalition, GotG run. I hated what they did with the Nova Corps and Ronan (he's a much better character in the books) but this one fixed the problem by having not one but TWO villians that were actually good. I think Marvel is about to fix their problem with weak villians. I'm shocked that they took Ego and made him an actual good character.

As much as I hope you're right, I wouldn't take anything in this movie as a sign of things to come from Marvel going forward. It really feels like they just let James Gunn do something standalone and unique without interfering in any way, but with the next movies it looks like we're back to MCU formula and crossovers and stuff.

I don't know, maybe they'll get better villains from now on (I actually thought Zemo and Ultron were alright, but I know I'm mostly alone on that), but I wouldn't count on it, as most of the next movies seem to be more about world-building and pitting big name heroes against big name villains (which is what the MCU has done always so far), rather than have a villain that works on a personal level like Vol. 2's.

I dont really think so, you might be presently surprised. the Vulture looks like he might be compelling, he might surpise me the same way Ego did. Hela looks like her comic book conterpart and then some. Also i feel they laid ground work for good reasons. Mordo is gonna be a great villiam in the Dr. Strange sequel IMHO cause they already did a fine job with him in the first. They kept Zemo alive for a reason. We might have to wait for phase 4 but I feel we're gonna get a big screen masters of evil. Hell even the gold people (sovereign) were good villians in Vol 2 so im expecting the same for volume 3
