Hey, it's me again. Still really sad about the Gamora situation.
I remember I was so heartbroken when in Endgame Rocket said he lost all his family but didn't mention Gamora. I thought it was because they didn't know how to handle her in the future, because there was the possibility for the real her to return. I thought one of the mission of the team in GOTG3 would have been find a way to bring her back or her memories and maybe fail but TRY at least. But it wasn't like this.
I'm ok with her staying dead but the problem is we never had a moment to MOURN her with the other characters. God, Yondu had a funeral. Everybody cried. It seems that since we have this other Gamora, she didn't really die, just decide to forget everything and move away. But they made clear they're two different people too so we needed that moment dedicated to her death. Where everyone grieves, not just sad stares from Peter and Nebula.
(Bonus: Once Gunn decided what to do with Gamora, why is just Peter that is depressed and drinks? Obviously he's one involved the most, but everyone else is ok then?)
I get GOTG3 it's Rocket movie, but since what happened to Gamora in IW/Endgame wasn't planned by Gunn, why not paying attention to her character too?
Sorry, maybe I wrote too much 😔
It’s never too much and I’m very happy to hear from you and hear your thoughts 💖💖💖
I agree with you. I really feel like it would be easier for everyone to essentially move on from this if we could have seen the guardians mourn a little bit in some form. It’s really really weird that literally no one at any point really talks about it, everywhere from like you said about Rocket not mentioning her, to the guardians in Vol 3 brushing off death comments with “she’s not dead, she just doesn’t remember”.
I don’t really want any more guardians content, but I really hope if we DO get any more, it expands more on the things we missed, instead of trying to tell us a new story after vol 3. I’d love to see some stuff about the years in between vol 2 and infinity war, but I think there’s also a big opportunity for them to tell us more about how they grieved Gamora because ALL guardians content after infinity war has had this very distinct problem and I’m lowkey tired of waiting for it since it will probably never happen at this point. They had the perfect opportunity to do so in vol 3 and just didn’t do it so I doubt it’ll happen unfortunately but I’ll keep taking my copium
That being said, I’m like really fine that they didn’t do anymore time shenanigans in vol 3, and just had the story pretty simple and straightforward as far as marvel content is concerned, so I’m not too bothered that they didn’t like try to give her “her” memories back, but I get why you and a lot of other people would be disappointed. It seemed like a logical next step with how bizarre marvel movies have been getting.
