Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.
Snake freakin' Plissken!
The big question before the debut of the new Guardians Of the Galaxy Vol.
Marvel Studios
2 trailer was, Would it feature Kurt Russell?
Spoiler alert: it does!
Ego the Living Planet.
“You don’t know what a rifle looks like?")
Why does Gamora need such an outsized weapon?
“I see it within you,” she says.
It is our duty to cleanse the universe of this weakness.”
The literally winking response from the Bradley Cooper-voiced Rocket?
Sadly, Rocket chooses to wink with his eye that is visible to Ayesha.
Mind you, Rocket does have his problems.
Like, being surrounded in a dark wood by Michael Rooker’s blue-skinned Yondu and his Ravager goons.
“Groot, put your seatbelt on!”
“So we’re saving the galaxy again?”
asks Star-Lord in voiceover.
Hey, its not calledNon-Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.
2, buddy and, also, yes.
Which is music to Rocket’s ears.
“We’re really going to be able to jack up our prices if we’re two-time galaxy-savers!”
It’s the HR department I feel sorry for.
Cue Drax, who actually is right there by Quill’s side, scaring the crap out of him.
“All you do is yell at each other!
You’re not friends,” says Gamora.
“No, we’re family,” replies Drax.
(And how much did it burn the Groot-voicing Vin Diesel not to get to say that line?)
Hey, who’s that cloaked guy in the distance?
Could it be…?
…yes it is!
Kurt Russell finally makes an appearance.
“After all these years, I’ve found you,” announces Ego.
“And who the Hell are you?”
“I’m your dad, Peter,” comes the reply.
Is there a dry eye in the house?
There isn’t in this writer’s abode, that’s for sure.
