You mean apart from her being a telepath with no apparent sense of personal boundaries? He probably told her to call him Steve.

That was adorable. Drax and Mantis in LA was pretty fun and it didn't drag or get stuck with boring extra plots.

If the post credits sequence is true I hope its a more general MCU xmas, at least have like Carol or other space related characters

I kind of wonder what will happen with space MCU after Gunn's Guardians ends. It looks like The Marvels is going to be splitting time pretty evenly between Earth and cosmic stuff. I guess you have Thor, but Helmsworth is rethinking his career. Honestly there seems to be more potential for dimensional shenannigans going on with Ant-Man 3, Fantastic Four, and Secret Wars than anything.

Guardians might even be the best candidate for a comics style relaunch, minus a few characters and then with a few new ones added on to keep doing cool space stuff. All New All Different Guardians of the Galaxy?

Marvel has got tons of cosmic characters to play with. Silver Surfer's the big one but there's also people like Nova, Quasar and Adam Warlock (who's even entering the MCU in GotG 3) and Carol's still going to be around after The Marvels

Pratt and Gunn both already addressed them online. Pratt says that he's no longer part of that church (which was only related to Hillsong, not actual Hillsong) and is less enthused about organized religion, and hates the rumor mill because his kids are going to grow up and inevitably read nasty things about them online. Gunn says Pratt has never been anything but good to everyone on set.

A lot of people will claim "he is so religious!!" and the examples they give is something like him posting "God is amazing, look at this waterfall and rainbow!" on Instagram.

If you see something suspicious, bomb it!

I think everyone just feels betrayed because Pratt went from very handsome goofy "average" schlub to jacked movie star that married into the upper echelons of society. But by all accounts he seems to be genuinely a really nice friendly guy that everyone gets along with.

New special was great and I'm glad we got the Drax/Mantis buddy comedy we deserve. Their dynamic is much improved over GotG2.

He's done some poo poo like post a terrible poem about how he doesn't agree with either political party and just wants us all to get along, and he's got a brother who's a Three Percenter that he's shown up at parties with. But this is his recent interview:

quote:

“Religion has been oppressive as gently caress for a long time,” he said. “I didn’t know that I would kind of become the face of religion when really I’m not a religious person. I think there’s a distinction between being religious — adhering to the customs created by man, oftentimes appropriating the awe reserved for who I believe is a very real God — and using it to control people, to take money from people, to abuse children, to steal land, to justify hatred. Whatever it is. The evil that’s in the heart of every single man has glommed onto the back of religion and come along for the ride.”

...

The actor also noted he wept after getting backlash for praising his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger for giving birth to a “healthy” girl. “A bunch of articles came out and said, ‘That’s so cringeworthy. I can’t believe Chris Pratt would thank her for a healthy daughter when his first child was born premature. That’s such a dig at his ex-wife,'” he said. “And I’m like, That is hosed up. My son’s gonna read that one day. He’s nine. And it’s etched in digital stone. It really loving bothered me, dude. I cried about it. I was like, I hate that these blessings in my life are—to the people close to me—a real burden.”

To be clear, Chad Veach, the pastor of the church Pratt does/did attend, is not above engaging in some homophobia. Also, while as Thor has pointed out, families are complicated, Pratt's brother is, at the very least, Three Percent adjacent.

I'm sure Pratt's a lovely dude on set, as you mentioned Gunn's never said a bad word about him and Mike Schur is similarly effusive (and he wrote the book on how to be perfect). But man, Pratt's got some suspect friends and family.

from the same interview:
Asked why he never outright denied he belonged to Hillsong prior to the interview, Pratt added, “I’m gonna, like, throw a church under the bus? If it’s like the Westboro Baptist Church, that’s different.”

Yeah they're totally different! Hillsong would never say "god hates fags", they'd use a lot more words to get the idea across! Wouldn't want to throw them under the bus by denying you're a member.

Yeah there's an undefined amount of time between Tony's funeral, the Asgardians of the Galaxy leaving Earth, and Steve going on his time quest. I just assume everyone that was there knows each other and are very close.

I think a bigger deal is Batman if not all of DC exists in the MCU. That might make it awkward if/when Disney buys WB-Discovery-HBO-Shitshow and wants a DC/MCU crossover.

Mantis is just a good judge of rear end character.

Also I would love for a future episode of She-Hulk to revolve around the events of this episode. Somehow the LAPD or the map lady tries to sue the GotG and Jen takes the case. More excuses for Mantis and Drax to mess with/around Los Angeles.

Also I am going to say Rocket obtaining Bucky's arm is a Chekhov's gun for GotG3. Maybe Rocket wants to experiment with Vibranium and the Wakandans, likely fearing for their/Earth's safety, denied him access. Or it could just be used for a sight gag or background prop.

DC existing as comics in the Marvel universe, and vice-versa has been a thing in both publications for a number of years. What's more interesting is that comics based on 'real' heroes actually exists in universe, as is seen in She-Hulk with the library of reference material

From memory this isn't the first time the cross over has been mentioned. Phastos's kid in Eternals says "Dad that's Superman" when Ikarus rocks up to their house
