Best 11 Guardians of the Galaxy Moments | Cinemafia
MovieBlogs

August 4, 2014
Cinemafia has selected 11 of the best scenes from the movie for you. But, attention! SPOILERS!
At a time when Guardians of the Galaxy has surpassed the $160 million mark at the moment, we have taken and collected the best scenes. True, you can argue with us.
And, yes, the text contains massive spoilers, including a detailed description of the scene after the credits.
So if you haven't seen the movie yet, then blame yourself. We warned!
Star-Lord Dancing
The second "opening scene" we see after Marvel's cutscene is Star-Lord (aka Peter Quill) dancing on the abandoned planet Morag to Come and Get Your Love. This moment is imbued with a non-trivial combination of wit and fun, which creates a very right mood. Right there right now. Later we see Chris Pratt dancing again when he challenges Ronan the Accuser to a "dance battle". Let's just say that such a bold technique does not work so harmoniously in every blockbuster.
The legend of Kevin Bacon
One of the funniest jokes is dedicated to Kevin Bacon. When Gamora informs Peter Quill that she is a killer and a warrior, and therefore does not dance, he replies (we quote the phrase as it is in the dub):
There is a legend on my planet about people like you. It's called Free. This is the story of how a great hero named Kevin Bacon taught an entire city of puffed-up turkeys the great art of dancing.
And it was incredible.
To which Gamora replies, "Who swindled those turkeys?" This shows how literally everything is perceived on the other side of the Galaxy.
Note: The 1984 film Loose, starring Kevin Bacon, is an American classic. According to the plot, the main character arrives in a small provincial town where dancing is prohibited. And only he manages to change these old-fashioned orders.
Rocket's pranks on disabled people
The first time we encounter this is during the prison break, when Rocket asks Peter Quill to get him a prosthetic leg from one of the prisoners. A little later, when discussing the plan to attack Ronan's ship, he tries to convince everyone around that the false eye of one of Yondu's Ravagers is the most important element. Even in the most "hot" situations, the Raccoon does not lose his signature sense of humor
Rocket's drunken speeches
Possibly the most powerful Raccoon moment in the film is the scene in the bar where Rocket pours out all his feelings and emotions.
In particular, resentment that he is called a "pest". He cries because he doesn't seem to have asked for laboratory experiments on him that turned him into a monster. At this moment, we understand that specific humor and insulting others is just a defensive reaction. This scene is really dramatic because for a moment you completely forget that the Raccoon is just a computer character.
100% asshole
Let's just say that in the original it sounds like 100% Dick. Thus, while working out a plan to destroy the Black Aster, Star-Lord sends a "dick" message to one of the representatives of NovaCorps, saying that he is, of course, an "asshole", but not one hundred percent. And asks for help.
Yondu Udonta and his arrow
Michael Rooker's Yondu is more than just a savage. He managed to turn this character into a very charming "bad guy". When Yondu's ship crashes, it is surrounded by Ronan's servants. But with the help of his faithful arrow, he calmly deals with twenty opponents.
Yondu collects figures on his dashboard, which, on the one hand, throws us straight to the Firefly, and on the other hand, shows a soulful nature. You know, like bikers who actually work in a flower shop.
Groot Smile
Groot Smile is literally the icing on this Guardians of the Galaxy pie. Making their way to Ronan, Drax, Star-Lord and Groot stumble upon an entire army. Which Groot destroys... hmm... brutally. And then he turns around with an innocent and sincere smile, as if asking: "Did I do something good?" Yes, Groot, you really did a good job.
We are Groot
Towards the end of the movie, Groot saves the entire crew by forming a "protective nest" around them. At the same time, the hero, who throughout the entire film says exactly one phrase - "I Am Groot", this time says "We Are Groot", which can be read as "We Are Friends". Yes, it was possible to do something completely different and give Groot fundamentally different words at the end of the film, but the creators went exactly in this way, thereby endowing the usual words with a completely different meaning.
Dancing Groot
The first scene after the short credits shows us a dancing little Groot against the background of Drax rubbing knives after the battle. All this happens under the Jackson 5's I Want You Back. This moment gives the audience its positive charge, and people leave the hall smiling (although we know that no one leaves the Marvel films after the first scene).
Listen, baby. Ain't No Mountain High Enough
The final scene, when Peter Quill finally unpacks his mother's parting gift - the Awesome mix 2 cassette, literally breaks the heart with the help of the song Ain't no mountainain high enough. We understand that the heroes finally found not just friends, but a new family. Yes, it's a great moment.
Howard the Duck
Yes, here it is, the main spoiler.
The scene after all all all credits shows us how the unfortunate Tivan the Collector inspects the damage done to his collection. And then Howard the Duck appears with a snide comment. Fans are still arguing who gave Howard the voice - Seth Green, announced on imdb, or Nathan Fillion, whose cameo everyone was waiting for.
UPD. Yet Seth Green!
I Am Groot is a beautiful yet short series about Marvel's smallest hero. Honest review
August 16LikbezKino
Gorgeous animation and interesting finds are waiting for you.
Share
0On August 10, Disney+ released one of the most unusual premieres of this year - a series about baby Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy. It turned out bright and impressive, only the timing is embarrassing - less than 20 minutes for the entire season.
Designed by Kirsten Lepore. The peak of her commercial career is the series for Adventure Time, but it is unlikely that the viewer pays attention to the authors of each particular episode.
Throughout the past decade, Lepore has collected numerous awards at international festivals for short films. Now she was entrusted with the series about Groot. And she perfectly disposed of the chance to make herself known to a large audience.
There are only five episodes in the first season, but Groot has time to fight with a small tree, fight with strange tiny creatures and dance with his doppelgänger. Events begin approximately between the first and second parts of the "Guardians of the Galaxy" - in the first episode of the series, baby Groot is only growing in a pot.
Beautiful
I Am Groot can be seen as the perfect animated work. Bright colors, unusual movements, a constant kaleidoscope of frames - even if the series lasted longer, what was happening would not bother.
Frame from the TV series "I am Groot" All the characters are flexible and colorful, and also very different from each other, including gestures.
Groot, coming to the fore, makes you look only at yourself, but an impressive spectacle unfolds behind him. The attention to detail is at an incredible level — the background is always lively and interesting.
Fresh
Despite the fact that Groot has already appeared in several Marvel films, the character remains fresh. He could not get bored, there is too little of him. Therefore, you can shoot anything with it.
A small tree travels to different planets and finds new entertainment everywhere. Absolutely every scene contains interesting finds. Groot grows hair (leaves) using mud, wears a fitness bracelet on his head as a flashlight, blows up half of the spaceship (for drawing). If he gets bored, he takes a Jacuzzi in a puddle.
Old school
Although the series looks as fresh as possible, it allows itself to be old school. It looks more like Tom and Jerry than any modern cartoon. For example, in "I am Groot" there is a classic "cartoon violence" - the main character can fight with strange creatures and even hurt them.
It adds back-schooling and an almost complete lack of dialogue, since it is difficult to build them with a character who constantly says the phrase "I am Groot." There are no cross-cutting plots, each series is independent.
Yes, Groot is in the Marvel Universe, but he doesn't have to be in constant contact with it - just for a minute, the Raccoon from Guardians of the Galaxy joins him.
Not enough!
You can watch all episodes without credits in less than 20 minutes. By the fifth episode, it becomes very sad that the series is about to end. And I want to bombard Disney + mail with threats in the style of "give me more, or else ...".
Life hack: you can double the running time just by watching the series again. In principle, you can triple it - you will get bored by about the fourth time.
Still from I Am Groot I Am Groot shows what happens when a small and seemingly limited character falls into the hands of a master. Kirsten Lepore has done everything to ensure that one of the most insignificant heroes of Marvel has an expanded fan club.
