OMG Nebula! I thought I'd hate her for being just there in the first one but I loooove her here. Her contribution turned the movie around for me.
Yondu, he has a much bigger role. That one, I'm not sure if people will like where it is leading. He got a badass scene tho. Part of it was shown in the trailer, sorta.
Mantis was played for laughs as a clueless 'foreigner doesn't get social or cultural' cues. I know her from the comics but she isn't a spiritual martial artist in the movie. She was cute but could have done more. I didn't get her motivations.
Glad to hear the gave Nebula more depth- as a character she really became more complex in her later comic book appearances.
Let's go Yondu! Yakka Arrow FTW! ;D
Too bad about Mantis- she's supposed to be the Celestial Madonna….but then I guess she'll grow into that in later installments.
So EXCITED to see it! I will catch it as soon as it comes out! :cheers:
