The only purpose of movies is to make life more interesting than movies
Sure enough, it is the best Marvel movie after "Avengers 4".
After the release of "Guardians of the Galaxy 3" this Friday, it scored 8.7 points on Douban (currently 8.6), and the weak reputation of the fourth and fifth phases of Marvel was reversed.
Unlike other Marvel works in recent years, "Guardians of the Galaxy 3" does not vassal to advance the main story, but focuses the narrative on the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
As the final chapter of the series, director James Gunn really did the perfect end to this series that has accompanied fans for ten years.
So as a reserved program, on the third day of the release of "Guardians of the Galaxy 3", Xiaowan came to talk to you as usual about what "Easter eggs" are buried in the film, dig out the details + plot & characters to answer questions, let's start~
Tips ahead: This article contains spoilers, please read it after watching the movie
"Guardians of the Galaxy 3" special production title
Marvel's opening logo must be familiar to everyone, starting from "Doctor Strange", Marvel fixed the title of the Marvel Universe into a familiar pattern: superhero group portrait figure + familiar label music.
However, the title of "Guardians of the Galaxy 3" this time replaced the previous Avengers superheroes with members of the Guardians of the Galaxy such as Rocket Raccoon, Groot, and Nebula.
This custom-made title is a commemoration of the finale of the series and a reunion for the team members who are about to wave goodbye.
The commemorative title of Black Panther 2
Marvel's special production title is not very common, the last time was "Black Panther Exclusive" produced by "Black Panther 2" in honor of Chadwick Boseman, and this time it is enough to show the importance attached to "Guardians of the Galaxy 3".
Rocket Raccoon's past
The main storyline of this game revolves around the rocket raccoon, and we also learn about its hidden past that has always been buried in our hearts.
Rocket Raccoon was once one of the experiments of the supreme evolution of a madman obsessed with creating "perfect lifeforms", codenamed 89P13, and he was brutally transformed into a cyborg.
The raccoon is staked on the private emotions of the rolling guide
In "Guardians of the Galaxy 3", Supreme Evolution reappears, which also makes Rocket have to face the past he has been avoiding.
At the end of the film, Rocket sees the label "raccoon" on the cage where various animals are kept, and learns that he is indeed a raccoon.
The data number of the rocket in Silver Guard 1 is 89P13
It is worth noting that in the first two stories, whenever someone says that the rocket is a raccoon, it leads to a fierce rebuttal from the rocket. And in this part, he finally accepts his identity, which is also a symbolic moment when Rocket finally unties his heart and faces the past.
A tribute to "2001: A Space Odyssey"
In the middle of the story, the Guardians of the Galaxy travels to the Auror planet, where Supreme Evolution is located, and the Marauders who come to assist them prepare spacesuits to disguise their identities.
This series of Teletubbies-like colorful spacesuits is one of the essential comedy elements in this light-hearted plot, and in fact, this design also has a source.
A spacesuit in 2001: A Space Odyssey
According to Roller himself, the colorful spacesuit was inspired by the sci-fi classic "2001: A Space Odyssey", which is a distant tribute. In addition, the set on Aurora star, which is dominated by bright tones and highly saturated colors, is also somewhat similar to the set in "2001: A Space Odyssey".
Ridicule "Robocop"
Director Rolling arranged a lot of comedy memes in the film, the most smiling of which is undoubtedly the most smiling thing about Star-Lord spitting on the appearance of supreme evolution as "a mechanical cop with a skin".
"Robocop" is an R-rated science fiction masterpiece directed by Paul Verhoeven in 1987, I believe that the friends who have seen it will get laughter on the spot. Little friends who have not seen it do not need to be in a hurry, Xiaowan put a picture and you will understand——
Robocop
We can't say it's very similar, we can only say it's exactly the same!
This even makes people suspect that Rolling Guide changed the Supreme Evolution from the image in the comics to the current one, which simply exists to match this spit sentence.
Salute to courage
As the finale of the series, it is also indispensable to remember the characters who withdrew. The most important nostalgia and tribute in "Guardians of the Galaxy 3" is, of course, inseparable from Star-Lord's adoptive father bravery.
Although the rolling director has previously said that Yongdu really "left" and will not return, in "Silver Guard 3" we still see Yongdu appear in another way. In the face of the enemy's attack, Kraglin finally took up the mantle of courage and used flying arrows to protect his friends.
Guardians of the Galaxy 2
Another tribute comes from the end, where Star-Lord gradually loses temperature and freezes in space, just like the scene in "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" where Courage leaves the hope of survival to Star-Lord and sacrifices himself.
Sovirin tribe
Speaking of the new character Adam the Warlock, let's mention the Sawerin tribe again.
This race, which was tied up with Star-Lord in "Silver Guard 2", continues to appear in this part and shows more secrets.
The Sovirin have a golden complexion
It turns out that the Sovelin tribe is also one of the "experiments" of supreme evolution.
Their arrogance, conceit, and pursuit of perfection are the characteristics of the perfect living forms that the Supreme Evolution strives to create, but for unknown reasons they are also abandoned and become the tools of the Supreme Evolution.
Rocket Groot recreates the famous scene
Rocket and Groot are friends in the Guardians of the Galaxy, and the interaction between the dead is also an important highlight in the film.
At the end of "Guardians of the Galaxy 3", Rocket, who escaped from death, fought fiercely with the villain with everyone, and the shot of Rocket standing on Groot's shoulder reproduced the famous scene in "Silver Guard 1".
In "Silver Guard 2", because Groot grew up again after his sacrifice and was still a small sapling, it was Groot who stood on the shoulders of the rocket at that time.
Five years have passed, and Groot has gradually grown from a child to a teenager, and the pair have never separated
Groot's new line
In the closing paragraph, "Guardians of the Galaxy 3" also has a tear point killer.
After saying goodbye, Groot, who usually only says "I am Groot," finally says a new line: I love you guys.
The reason why this scene is enough to make people cry is that just as the "returning" Gamora, who could not understand what Groot said at the beginning, and slowly understood it later, she readmitted the members of the Silver Guardian and truly returned to the family, so she could understand Groot.
Perhaps we are the same sitting in front of the screen, at the end of the film, it is not Groot who says the new line, but we are finally able to understand Groot, and the audience eventually becomes their friends and relatives.
I think this is the best gift that the roller guide can leave to the fans.
Mantis and her new pet
At the end of Guardians of the Galaxy 3, the members go their separate ways. Star-Lord returns to Earth, Gamora returns to the Marauders, and Mantis chooses to wander alone to find himself.
Although her combat power is not high, there is no need to worry about her, she is accompanied by three loyal bodyguards.
These three battery-eating behemoths, if you remember, are the opponents who everyone fought hard at the beginning of "Guardians of the Galaxy 2". At that time, the praying mantis had not yet appeared, otherwise just like in this part, the praying mantis could easily get three with appeasement, and everyone would not have to waste physical strength.
End Credits Easter Egg 1: The Third Generation Guardians of the Galaxy
The first Easter egg at the end of the film, after Star-Lord, Mantis, Gamora, and others left, the Guardians of the Galaxy did not disband, but entered the next stage.
Current Guardians of the Galaxy members include Captain Rocket, Nebula, Drax, Kraglin, Groot, Comos, Adam, and the little girl rescued from the Supreme Evolution.
It is worth mentioning that after experiencing the first generation led by Courage and the second generation led by Star-Lord, the Guardians of the Galaxy has also entered the third generation, and their interstellar adventure story will continue.
End Credits Easter Egg 2: Star-Lord will return
The second Easter egg of Guardians of the Galaxy 3 briefly shows the daily life of Star-Lord and his grandfather who have returned to Earth - eating breakfast, reading the newspaper, and then the subtitles say: "The legendary Star-Lord will return".
It is worth noting here that Star-Lord is preceded by the "legendary" prefix, which has not appeared in the previous Marvel Super Hero, and uses a special font, it seems that Star-Lord will play a more important role.
In addition, the preview of the return in this way means that Star-Lord will play a major role in a subsequent work of the Marvel Universe, and maybe even a solo independent movie?
At present, these are just speculation, and wait for whether there will be "Guardians of the Galaxy 4" and its side story.
Thanks to the fans
Finally, Xiao Wan attached a small "Easter egg" that was not easy to detect.
In the long credits at the end of the film, if you pay attention, you will see that in the "Special Thanks" section, the first thank you is "All the fans".
For fans who have watched the Guardians of the Galaxy adventure, grow, and unite like family along the way, the past decade has truly been an unforgettable journey. The series ends here, and the roller guide will also bid farewell to Marvel for the time being, and deliberately wrote his thoughts here.
Just like the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy scattered in the universe, the sky is different, there will be a period later, thank you.
