However, it is inevitable that some plots will be involved.
Haven't seen this film yet, please stop here, go out and turn right to the movie guide→ the highest sequel of the year: [Guardians of the Galaxy 2] The strongest movie preview (yes, after watching the movie, remember to come back to read this article!). ）
Rocket and Baby Groot invite you to read this article
If you don't mind spoilers, or if you've already seen the movie, look down and you'll be amazed: it's like this!
They turned out to be all sisters
In [Guardians of the Galaxy], except for star-lord who has the identity of the male protagonist and saves his handsome face, the rest of the people are almost "unrecognizable", especially several actresses, who are all sisters in reality, but no one even has a normal skin color in the movie.
Zoe Soldana, who plays Kamora, is a Four-Nation hybrid, but she is always remembered as "Blue-Green Face" because her two highest-grossing titles happen to be [Avatar] and [Guardians of the Galaxy].
Her sister Nebula Nebra in the film is played by model-turned-actress Scottish actress Karen Gillan, who also shaved her head for the role.
And her role in this film has increased significantly, and the emotional portrayal is clearer, and she and her sister Camorra's tragic childhood as The adopted daughter of Thanos is also mentioned. Probably because these pasts are excellent subjects, director Gunn has also expressed his interest in developing a sequel to the character.
And this new character Aisha and The Mantis Woman —
The 190cm tall French actress Elisabeth Debizi is impressive to play the supreme "little golden man", and the "mantis woman" Punk Lymentev also has Asian ancestry outside the play, and playing the German-Vietnamese mixed-race little mantis is perfect.

Super Fierce New Character Booklet
For friends who are not familiar with American comics, the past life (in the manga) and the present life (in the movie) of the new characters may be confused, so it is impossible to experience all the fun in the [Guardians of the Galaxy 2] that expands the Marvel Universe.
So, who are they? This tells you!
▲ Guardians of the Galaxy 2.0
A new member of the Guardians of the Galaxy
In addition to the bravery and nebula Nebra in the first part, the second guardians of the galaxy have a new member to join - Mantis Woman.
In the comics, she is of German X Vietnamese mixed race, and when she was a child, her father left her in a peaceful and anti-war sect of the Kree, and here she became a martial arts master, not only able to perceive the emotions of others, but also communicate with plants, so she earned the title of "praying mantis".
In the movie, she is the retinue of Star Lord's father, Igo, and has a straightforward and kind personality. The film retains some of her abilities and gives her the skills to change the emotions of others by touching people's bodies, such as soothing sad people and making insomniacs sleepy, which also bought crucial time for the final battle.
Original Guardians of the Galaxy
Perhaps many people do not know that the [Guardians of the Galaxy] movie version was not changed with the earliest version of the comic book, but based on the 2008 version, in fact, the members of the Marauders in the second part are the original 1969 version of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
- Courage -
In fact, Yongdu is not a new role, but in this film, we have a new understanding of him. After his death, Rocket Raccoon told the members of the Marauders about his deeds, which led to the beautiful and touching "Marauder Funeral".
▲ Courage and rocket with full aura
The original Brave is a humanoid native of the constellation Pegasus, who, after being captured by the Badoons, meets survivors of other colonies on Earth and begins to flee, forming a guardian of the galaxy to fight against tyranny.
His bow and arrow are also referenced in the movie, but the mercenaries, thieves, and leaders of the bounty hunter group saboteurs, as well as personality hooligans, are very different from the noble warriors who advocate nature in the comics.
- Star Eagle -
Staka & Areta
Sylvester Stallone's Starka O'Codd is also a member of the original Guardians of the Galaxy. His father is Quasar, a superhero from Earth-691, and he was taken to another planet by the cosmic god Eon to be adopted by the local mutants.
His adoptive father has a daughter, Areta Ogde, played by Yang Ziqiong, and they are also lovers. When they merge, they become StarHawk, but only one of the two can control the body.
Starhawk has superhuman physical abilities, as well as enhanced sensory abilities, and At this time, Starka also has the ability to foresee, but he should not have these special skills in the movie version.
- Charlie 27 & Simon Williams & Crystal Man -
In addition to the two siblings and two sons, the original Convoy members also include Charlie 27, a strategist played by Vin Remus ([Mission Impossible]), who has a muscle mass of up to 11 times more dense than the average person, but the worship of imperialism is his weakness.
and wonder man played by Wonder Man Simon Williams and Michael Rosenbaum ([Superman Prequel]), whose body was transformed to fit into the silicon composition of Pluto, surviving in a vacuum, less injured but more difficult to heal.
▲ Members of the original Guardians of the Galaxy
Decent people
- Tullk -
Tullk is a member of the warrior saboteurs who are fully loyal to the brave in the film, and eventually die because of the saboteur's civil unrest and are exiled to space by the rebels. In the comics, he is a bounty hunter hired by Ronan to find a female member of the Rigellians race who is good at using her agility abilities, and dies in the process of searching.
- Krugarr -
The film features a red alien named Krugarr, a wizard of the LEM star, an apprentice of the legendary in the original game, and in the 31st century, he became the Supreme Wizard to assist the original Guardians of the Galaxy.
- Watcher -
Finding Stan Lee's figure is also one of the pleasures of watching the film, and this time when he first appeared in a cameo, he was surrounded by a fairly famous observer in the Marvel Universe.
They had great power and knowledge, and in the past they wanted to share their abilities but led to the overdevelopment of the race and almost extinction, so they no longer actively intervened, but only observed from the sidelines.
Villain
- Igo (EGO) -
In the comics, Star-Lord's biological father, J'son, and the living planet Iago are two different things, but in the movie they become one person.
The comic book version of Igo was created by the Elders of the Universe, and in the movie he became the Celestial Clan, and referenced the character form of Star-Lord's father in the comics, which is also the practice of fusing two characters into one character often used by the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
At the same time, Iago's attitude toward life and attacks the Guardians of the Galaxy in the movie are all references to the manga version of J'son's discrimination against other beings of his own race.
- Electric Kill Face -
In the movie, the electric kill that betrays the courage of the face, because the pompous stage name has been ridiculed by Rocket Raccoon. In [Earth-691], he is one of the Stark members who evolved through Tony Stark's technology, and is also a villain in the original version who often confronts the Guardians of the Galaxy, so his betrayal in the film is also a tribute to the elements of the original version.
- Brahl -
Brahl is one of the members of the Destroyers who betrayed Courage in the film, and in the comics he is also a member of the Cosmic Crimes of Menace.
- Aisha -
The Supreme Clan, led by the priestess "Little Golden Man" Ayisha, hunted down and killed the Star Lord and his party in a fancy manner in [Silver Guardian 2], and successfully played the stupid villain. In the movie, Aisha genetically modifies and uses related techniques to create Adam.
In the original comics, she was the second "artificial man" created by the enclave with the help of Doctor Strange due to Adam's betrayal, and in [Earth-691], she became the mother of Stallone's character Starka.
There's actually a new hidden character
He has always been hung up on the lips of the Star Lord——
"My dad is just like [Thunderbolt Ranger] Michael"
As the third "father" of the Star Lord
He is played by David Hasselhof
Appeared in the ending song when the subtitles were released
The second series of the Golden Song
[Guardians of the Galaxy] has always been convincing in its use of music, and at the end of the first part, Star-Lord finally opens the gift his mother gave him on her deathbed— another tape of her homemade platter song collection containing 14 of her favorite songs.
This tape is the "Second Series of Golden Songs" that runs through [Silver Guardian 2], these songs are basically from 1970-1980, and like the first series, each capital is very relevant, but more familiar.
Outside of the film, each song was personally selected by director James Gunn, and during filming, Gunn also deliberately gave the "second series" to Chris Pratt, the actor of Star-Lord, so that he could better enter the role while listening.
After watching the movie once, the corresponding fragments will immediately flash in the mind when you hear these songs, thanks to Gunn's ability to use music in a fascinating way.
And I also deliberately selected a few from these 14 songs that appear at important nodes or have special significance, and let's see why the director chose them.
▲The above is the complete song list of the "Second Series of Golden Songs" recommended by Groot Baby
<Guardians Inferno> - The Sneepers(featuring David Hasselhoff)
This is the ending song featuring David Hasselhof, the star of Star-Lord's childhood idol, "Thunderbolt Ranger", and co-written by Gunn and composer Taylor Betz, with lyrics featuring the theme of "Guardians of the Galaxy".
▲1982 [Thunderbolt Ranger]
As an ending song, it is accompanied by the various characters in the subtitles who dance happily, which draws a fun and perfect end to [Guardians of the Galaxy 2].
<Mr. Blue Sky> - Electric Light Orchestra
The song at the top of the chart comes from the Symphony Orchestra of Electric Light (ELO), and was chosen by Gunn for simple and crude reasons:
I've always thought that if there was an orchestra in the squad, it would be ELO, and < Mr. Blue Sky> was one of their favorite songs.
▲During the battle, you still have to take care of the baby
The song appears at the beginning of the film with "Groot's Dance". Groot's baby danced to the music and sold cuteness everywhere while his teammates were fighting, while the grandparents fought and worried that he would be injured by mistake.
▲ But your baby is not a vegetarian, and the consequences of his anger can be very serious
<The Chain> - Fleetwood Mac
The song that runs through the spirit of the whole film is < the > The Chain.
This song is telling their story, so we used it more than once in the movie.
One of the lyrics sings: "You don't love me now, you will never love me, I can still hear your heart, you can never break the shackles", which fully depicts the love and hate of Star-Lord's biological father "Igo", these emotions are far away and illusory, but when the two meet, they become cruel and real.
<Bring It On Home to Me> - Sam Cooke
The story of Star Lord and Kamora has concerned the hearts of all fans since the first part.
And just as hearing Marvin Guy's <Let's Get It On> knows there's a fierce bed scene that follows, just as listening to this classic love song by Sam Cook, one of the most important figures in American soul music, you know that love is growing.
It's a very beautiful song, and in Star-Lord's head, it's about him and Kamora.
▲ The so-called "tacit understanding" or something
<My Sweet Lord> - George Harrison
It was one of the first songs I chose, and it had many connections with Iago, including himself and all the myths he had created. I have always been interested in the Hindu myth of creation, and a similar arrangement can be seen here.
The song belongs to the new character of Silver Guardian 2, Star Lord's biological father Iago, the Beatles lead guitarist George Harrison is passionate about Indian religion, < My Sweet Lord> writes exactly his desire for God.
In the movie, the two finally meet after much effort, and Star-Lord discovers that his father is a god, and the lyrics "God, I really want to see you" are quite interesting contrasts and ironies with the two people's final revenge resume.
<Father and Son> - Cat Stevens
The story of [Silver Protector 2] is wrapped in "father-son love", but in the face of his biological father, who has not met with Xingjue for 30 years, he still bravely loves him and pokes tears, just like this love song dedicated by fathers to their sons.
The song sung on Howard Stern's show and on acoustic guitar is precisely related to the theme of the film.
▲Father and son are racing together with tacit understanding
This song brings together the emotions of the whole movie, and it can be said that it is the most important one in the whole film, while listening, it is also a continuation of the reading.

Let's talk about that
The 5 Easter eggs released this time
and the possible plot direction of [Guardians of the Galaxy 3].
Knock on the blackboard! The focus of the third part is all here!
The 5 Easter eggs at the end of the film are fully analyzed
Easter Egg 1: Courageous successor
The first Easter egg is brought by Brave's deputy, Klaylin, who is practicing whistling to control the flying arrows left to him after Brave's death, and skillfully and hilariously shouts at Drax.
Crelin has a lot of faces in this film, during the Saboteur Rebellion, it is he who uses disguise to break into the enemy army, and finally rescues courage and rockets, this Easter egg can be described as the meaning of the inheritance of the baton.
Before the release, the director also hinted that [Silver Guardian 2] would have the role of a gay hero, and the most suitable for watching the whole film was Klein, who had a friendship with the slain destroyer's companion. Oh yes, he's played by Sean Gunn or the younger brother of director James Gunn!
Easter Egg 2: Predator Reunion
Stallone and Yang Ziqiong's cameo was a highlight before the release, but I didn't expect that the Easter egg content they brought was even more exciting - the reunion of predators composed of Stark, Areta, Crystal Man, etc., means that [Silver Guardian 3] their role will increase a lot.
Areta was a blonde in the original comic, and in addition to the consideration of the Asian market, director Gunn is not only a Hong Kong action movie fan, but also a fan of Yang Ziqiong, so he invited her to become a Marvel superhero.
▲ Stallone attended the press conference of [Silver Protector 2].
Easter Egg 3: "Little Golden Man" secret weapon
From the third Easter egg, it is not difficult to see that the supreme "little gold people" led by Aisha are still the main villains in [Guardians of the Galaxy 3]." In addition, this is also an Easter egg with the most plot development in the future Marvel Universe.
The genetically modified Supremes do not produce life with normal births, and this abnormal evolution of the creation of objects will be one of the greatest threats to the future universe, and the "Adam" that appears in the Easter egg is the "Magician Adam" in the comics.
His muscle density is higher than that of humans, and the special cells in his body can absorb cosmic energy and convert them into superpowers, and can form a cocoon around his body within 1 second by his mind, and after breaking out of the cocoon, all aspects of his abilities will be improved.
At the same time, in the comics, he and Star-Lord and others formed the 2008 version of the Guardians of the Galaxy, and gathered all the heroes to fight against The Big Boss Thanos, who found the Infinity Stones. It also makes one wonder if he will leave the Supreme Clan to join the Guardians of the Galaxy in [Silver Guardian 3].
▲ Adam the Magician
Easter Egg 4: Groot's Rebellious Period
Groot Baby staged a solo show in [Guardians of the Galaxy 2], exclusive to mom and dad and the audience, but as I said earlier, this is the only one that can see his baby.
Egg Rigrut has quickly grown into a teenager, entered a period of rebellion, and spends all day playing games in a messy room, and Star-Lord has no choice but to complain about him: "I finally know how bravery I felt back then."
This means that it is not easy for the adoptive father to raise a small child, and xingjue, as a new grandfather, will the third part also continue the "father-son love" of this season?
▲ Before the rebellion period, do not let the grandfathers worry
Easter Egg 5: Stan Lee reappears
The final Easter egg ends with a second cameo in the film by "Father of Marvel" Stan Lee. And this Easter egg is also the one with the deepest meaning.
First of all, the old man's cameo this time seems to give an answer to the various characters who have been guest on the Marvel big screen for many years - he does not appear randomly every time, and this time he appears with the observer, which seems to also hint at his true identity.
Although the old man has denied this in the past, this time in the Easter egg, it seems to have been officially stamped by Marvel Studios.
▲ The old man in [Silver Goo 1].
Second, the role of the Observer belongs to the Marvel Four, and the copyright of the game is in Fox, and as for why they can appear in Disney's Marvel movies, there are three possibilities:
First, while the [Marvel Four] copyright belongs to Fox, the Observer race is shared. Second, Marvel and Fox swap roles, just as [Deadpool's] warheads swapped with Star-Lord's father, Iago.
▲ [Marvel Four]
Third, in the future, maybe Marvel and Fox may cooperate to restart the film version of [Marvel Four]? Although Marvel President Kevin Feige previously said in an interview that it was impossible:
This is completely impossible, because Marvel already has many movies in the program that can keep us busy for several lifetimes.
But dreams always have to be had, and maybe one day you'll actually see the X-Men or The Marvel Four meet with the Guardians of the Galaxy or the Avengers?
▲Looking forward to the reunion of this family
However, compared with these uncertain information, the good news that we can be sure of is that James Gunn, who was originally rumored not to pick up [Guardians of the Galaxy 3], has decided to continue to direct the third part, successfully becoming the only solo director besides the Russo brothers to direct 3 Marvel works.
Anyway, the long wait is about to begin again, and the next goodbye Groot baby will grow up.
