#2018 gamora

she would kick

her ass

and you know I'm right. old gamora would have NONE of it. vol. 3 gamora would be put in her place

You know, I was pretty glad we got this small scene. Throughout the majority of the film, Groot was pretty much just in the background, playing no real part in the story or interacting much with each of the characters - he was just there. And when it came to Gamora, it would have been nice to see how he would have interacted with her and what he was thinking and feeling.

Just like everyone else in the group, he lost Gamora too. And just like Quill, Groot also had a special kind of relationship with her; she was his mother.

When you watch through their scenes together in Volume 2, it's very clear to see that Gamora was a mother figure to Baby Groot. She looks out for him, she holds him and is more than happy to comfort him. She's there whenever he needs her.

I know you can only put so much in a movie, but I feel like Groot was done so dirty here? To see someone who he considered to be his mum look at him and not know who he was nor care for him must have really hurt. Their interaction before the very end of Volume 3 was not pleasant at all. Sure, she couldn't understand him but all she really did was shout at him. So, him approaching her at the end was sort of nice. He was really nervous to approach her and once she finally was able to understand him, perhaps he'd finally got some sort of closure for his grief. I wanted wanted more of that, just something that would be enough to subtly call back to the relationship he had with his Gamora.

I think overall it would have been nice to see a couple of more scenes with the two of them or even just a small interaction between the two earlier in the film so we could have a proper build up to them having a nice moment at the end. It would have had more of an impact.

this is a bit of a MESSY rant so it may not make sense but I just HAVE to try and get all of this annoyance out when it comes to my girl. because I have had a month to sit on it and I'm actually angry

see, as much as I adore gamora and should be happy for the variant because she's still technically my baby, it's hard to be happy for her or to like her, even.

and when it comes down to her new found family? ohoho I'm still just a bit miffed about that. I mean, it's with the ravagers of all people???

I mean I've always trusted James with these characters and I have adored her ever since 2014 the day vol.1 came out, but this was just so random and doesn't really make a lot of sense to me? I guess what would have been nice and would have made it less of a weird thing for me is if we were actually given a reason as to why she calls the ravagers her "people"... because come on, they're not and UGH

I mean at the end of the day, these are the ravagers who our gamora had no respect for

see, gamora is not perfect in any way and she knows this herself, but she does look down on people like ravagers and junkers etc etc. there's this sort of hierarchy in her head, with or without being beside Thanos.

it was there in vol.1, but not so much in vol.2. tbh she only had respect for yondu because of what he did for Peter. But still. her becoming a ravager??? idk??? it sort of doesn't fit??? and I have to agree with Quill on that one, especially when he told this variant something along the lines of "old you would have never become one of them" or whatever he said when they returned to the Bowie after escaping Orgocorp.

I know, I know. these Gamora variants are different, but they're surely the same at the core? when we saw this version of gamora in endgame, she was very close to our gamora and was nothing like this new one - exactly how you would have thought she would have been pre-vol.1

and I knew that gamora could be a bitch, but never this bad... during the first time I went to see vol.3, I was sat there and I just wanted to slap her quite honestly. I get the whole "ravager" attitude but it just completely took over her whole personality and I just didn't quite recognise the character I was watching.

I could understand when nebula made that comment about how people thought she was bad when Gamora was like this all along, but when you rewatch not even just endgame, but vol.1 and vol.2 it's very much like ?????

it's almost like the Gamora we got in vol.3 is completely different to what we got in endgame, really... even though they're supposed to literally be the same version of her. like what the fuck happened to her between endgame and vol.3? like girl who hurt you-

BUT IM NOT ABOUT TO SAY THIS BC STARMORA HAS BEEN ONE OF MY MAIN SHIPS BUT that ending with this Gamora and Peter? I knew she wasn't going to stay, her walking away when everyone was hugging made that obvious. But when she said to him "I'm still not the person you want me to be", and he replied with the "yeah, but who you are ain't so bad either." I'm kind of sat here now after thinking about it like Peter how do you know? you two have just spent basically all of your screen time together arguing and being upset. and with her not wanting to go back and help save the animals with the rest of them and then only doing it in the end pretty much because she felt she had to, this gamora hadn't really shown that she wasn't "that bad"? she was just so against everything, there wasn't really a lot of "good" to her for me to even really justify him saying that.

but yessssss I know this variant is supposed to be completely different to our Gamora, and in Zoe's words this new Gamora is "wild", "very independent", and has a "spunk to her that Gamora never really had". but man, I was just actually annoyed... I don't even know how to explain it...

my girl got shafted big time

[lady-murderess]

I love her and I miss her so much, your honor 😭

I think one thing that is always going to upset me is the fact that we lost the original Gamora. Like, that version of her has been something I've adored ever since Vol.1 came out.

I mean, as silly as it sounds, she means so much to me even now. I don't quite think I would be the person I am today if it wasn't for her. I've spent years cosplaying her, getting her as screen accurate as I could because I wanted to do her justice, she was and still is an escape for me. She gave me confidence in so many ways and helped me stand up for myself, and basically just helped me grow as a person. So, I guess I have always had a serious attachment to her.

And I don't know, despite all of that, it's kind of hard to look at the OG Gamora now. I know I still haven't gotten over her death, but she had so much character development and changed so much over the span of two movies and a few months in universe, and that was inspiring, you know?

We may have a Gamora now, but this one is different in so many ways, and has yet to heal. I know I'll love her anyway, but it's just not the same.
