remember how we thought black widow (2021) was going to be the darkest mcu movie, but then after the really well-done opening credits montage, the movie stopped being dark, and then two years later, a silly little Guardians of the Galaxy movie ended up being the movie where every person I’ve talked to said that they were deeply upset by it and they cried 6 times and that it was the most beautiful marvel movie in years and 100% the darkest movie that the mcu has ever made and was surprisingly gory and had the mcu’s first f-bomb and i even openly wept in a movie theater for the first time since avengers: endgame and there were points where i could just hear everyone crying and

I think the most horrible part of batch 89 is how impractical they are. What possible purpose could you wish to achieve from surgically grafting wheels to a walrus or implanting a steel muzzle into a rabbits face? It's just pure sadism. Cruelty for the sake of cruelty. And it's horrifying.

At the end of GOTG Vol 3, we finally understand Groot and what he’s saying – Gunn confirmed that Groot was literally saying “I am Groot” in the goodbye scene – but because we’ve spent so much time with him, we understood what he was really saying -- “I love you guys."

Which makes me wonder in GOTG Vol 1, did Groot actually say “We are Groot” or did we and the Guardians (minus Rocket) only understand a part of what he was saying, because we still hadn’t spent that much time with him?

Personally, I really like that idea and it’s now my headcanon.

The only question that remains for me – is what was Groot saying in that moment?

We are a family.

or

We are the Guardians.

or

We are friends.

The last one is extra devastating, considering Rocket would fully understand Groot, so he’s not only losing his closest friend of the last few years, but he’s also being reminded of when he last lost his friends as Lylla was saying “it’s good to have friends,” when the High Evolutionary killed her, which was soon followed by the murders of Teefs and Floor.

So, that’s all kinds of extra heartbreaking.

It's about the imperfections. Someone once told me 'an empire is only as strong as its weakest member', and I think this movie for some reason really showcases that.

The batch 89 were the worst of HE's creations according to him, but they were the only ones with exactly what he sought. Ideas, hope, dreams - and more specifically, imagination. Rocket's brain might be what HE is seeking, but the truth is, he killed all of the results with that capability.

Because none of the creatures the HE created after Rocket and the batch 89 were personal. They were mass produced perfection, copies of copies of copies. Their sentience was carefully constructed by someone else - and so, they don't have what Rocket has. What the Batch 89 had.

Because the Batch 89 was a series of accidental successes. They weren't programmed. Their minds came out of nowhere.

Each of their imperfections molded them into what they were. Molded their personalities and hopes and dreams. Each one so miraculously different from each other. Every single one of them so incredibly flawed, so completely fucked up- and perfect.

Lylla chose her name because it was pretty and she would need one in the new world. Teef thought his teeth were the biggest there was and named himself after it. Floor liked to hop on the floor, so she chose it as her name. Rocket had a dream of taking them to a rocketship and fly towards the sky.

Hope, humour, comfort, dream. The four things one finds in a healthy family, and the four things that keep people from going insane in trying times.

They had nothing but each other- so anything was good enough. They had everything and nothing. They were the weakest members of HE's empire, and that was their strength. And in killing them he destroyed the very thing he sought to create.

Sorry for the rambling. Yes I'm still crying.
