I know a lot of pple on this site hate MCU stans, and that's understandable. Me personally? I don't think all MCU stans deserve the hate, I personally enjoy vibing in the corner of the MCU fandom that's dedicated to Black Panther, Eternals, and the characters of color in general. The MCU!Iron Man, MCU!Spiderman, MCU!Dr Strange, MCU!Scarlet Witch, MCU!Loki and MCU!GOTG stans do deserve the hate tho, yall the worst.

Extremely relieved that I haven’t seen anyone on my timeline as yet celebrating/joining in with the egregiously ableist thing in the GotG Christmas special, or trying to accuse those of us who are angry about it of making a fuss about nothing/any other damn thing. I am clearly honing my followers list well. Thank you all. <3
(If I *do* see any of that shit, I... might be a bit fast with the blocking button, because ouch. I don’t have the time or energy or cope to deal with people acting like things like that are acceptable or funny, or that caring about ableism in media isn’t important.)

Rant:
All I said was Rocket from Guardians of the Galaxy wanting and getting Bucky's (captain america series) prosthetic arm was ridiculous not funny because hey some jerk irl actually took my legs as a joke.
Like who tells someone to shut off.... lol are you for real? How is stealing a disabled person's aid/limb funny?

the whole “if your love interest died don’t worry there is another version from a different timeline” is such a messed up plot trick marvel has been doing. oh, peggy died of old age? don’t worry steve can go back to a different timeline to a different peggy. it’s the same thing! oh, gamora died bc a sadistic psychopath pushed her off a cliff and peter lost his romantic interest? don’t worry! there’s another version of her to replace the old one !!

Spoilers for GoTG3 under the cut.
The way Gunn treated Peter's alcoholism makes Thor's treatment in EG so much worse.
I always hated the jabs and the jokes and the blatant dismissal of his pain and grief and PTSD, but seeing Nebula carrying Peter, Drax almost whispering "Did it happen again?" when he sees Peter completely wasted, the sad music playing in the background, Mantis asking Nebula incessantly about Peter's state... that's how friends handle this. Even though they had lost Gamora as well and they had been dusted too, it's not a competition, it's not a moment to mock him. They show their support and their love for him, and the very moment his friends (his family) are in danger he steps up almost immediately.
Thor is mocked constantly by the same people who should have shown him compassion. People who had known him for years, who had fought by his side and knew him well, so-called "friends" who knew he had just lost his home planet, his entire family, his best friend... and yet they made him the butt of every joke?
The Russos have so much to learn from Gunn.

token economies suck and late capitalism is worse. being broke is not a moral failing, and you still deserve to enjoy life.
this is about as wholesome as it gets (for me) i think. can be read platonically or romantically. mcu-based, meant to take place post-volume 3, but headcanon however you want ♡
“You ready? You’re frickin’ takin’ forever.” You drag your eyes away from the shelves of novelties, strange tools, and low-grade “luxury” items in Sanna Orix’s tiny corner-shop, wincing. “Sorry. Yeah, I’m ready.” Rocket tilts his head, arms shuffling a shabby cardboard box he’d apparently filled with various odds-and-ends, machine parts he’d found in dusty corners, bits of tech he hasn’t had a chance to get his paws on before. He studies you, that carnelian gaze flicking back and forth from you to the item you’d just been staring at. “You look at that frickin’ thing every time we come in here,” he observes dryly. “Better get it now f’you want it. It’s not gonna be there forever.” You roll your shoulders, then your eyes. “I don’t need it. If it’s gone by the next time we stop by, it’ll be one less temptation.” Rocket frowns and shuffles the box in his arms. “How much is it?” You don’t have to double-check — you already know. “Twenty-three units.” “Twenty-three units?” he repeats incredulously. “Twenty-three units and I gotta sit here and watch you pine over it every time I gotta run a goddamn errand?”

There's something really, really fucked up about the fact that the High Evo, a character obssessed with perfection and who conducts painful medical/scientific experiments on animals, is being played by a Black man in GOTG 3. Did James Gunn not care about the racist implications of having a Black man play a eugenecist, when eugenics was a big fucking component in scientific racism and has ties to the slavery of Black people???

Conglomerate thoughts about Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 3 under the cut. Please do not read if you don't want to be spoiled! TLDR: I loved it.
I suppose I should preface this by saying Guardians Vol. 2 is my favorite MCU movie and that I hold no real affinity towards installments outside of the Guardians in the Marvel Universe. I used to be a pretty active and engaged fan, but Endgame swiftly put a stopper on that. I was very worried about how this film was charged with the task of picking up the pieces of a fractured and, frankly, careless and poorly written conclusion to Phase 3.
Long story short, I should have never doubted Gunn.
Gunn did an expert job at navigating the perimeters that Endgame thrust on him, ensuring that the plot didn't linger on what happened without neglecting the catastrophic weight of Thanos's actions. Bringing alternate universe Gamora into the fold seemed like a monstrous and difficult task. I have expressed before how much I hated the idea of Quill chasing down someone who isn’t even ‘his’ Gamora and trying to win her back, but Gunn handled this with absolute grace, assuring that everyone stayed in-character in their reactions and interactions. There was no backpedaling or continuity with how the Guardians were written in Infinity War and Endgame as I feared there would be. Gunn picked up from where we left off in Vol. 2 while still allowing us space to mourn Gamora's loss. Rocket's trauma and character development was taken seriously again. Every member of the Guardians had a well crafted arc and was given the appropriate amount of time to explore said arc.
The animal and child abuse was hard to watch. It felt way more violent than anything we've ever seen in the MCU, but I'm almost glad that it was. I feel that loss and violence is almost glossed over in the superhero genre. We don't quite get the full scope of devastation and impact that villains have caused in their quest for domination, colonization, and perfection. We've been desensitized to death and torture to a degree. Even the snap™, which most would site as the most evidentiary form of brutality in the the MCU, did not hold nearly as much weight as the actions of the High Evolutionary. Thankfully the plot never seemed like a hit over the head with a message of EUGENICS BAD! It was more a tragic exploration in what eugenics can do to an individual, how it desecrates the environment, and how the quest for perfection is gratuitous and futile.
In spite of the heavy subject matter and darkness of the film, Gunn still maintained the thread of humor that we love from the Guardians. I laughed out loud more than a handful of times, and every laugh came at a point in the film where it was necessary. There were no quips or jabs there to deflect from the seriousness of what was occurring, just enough to give the audience time to breathe. I am so glad that Guardians Vol. 3 was the first MCU movie to get the green light in the 'fuck' department. I can think of no franchise more deserving, and the way it was used was perhaps the funniest joke in the whole film.
I could write an entire essay on Mantis's arc and her development and how much she means to me as a character, but maybe (probably) I will save that for another day. To keep things short, I appreciated her continued empathy and sense of humor in such a bleak situation and after such a hard life. I see so much of myself in her, and it's incredibly moving to have someone represent aspects of yourself that you thought would never be portrayed in the superhero genre because they are more difficult to express emotionally and cerebrally. She's so important and so brilliantly acted by Pom, and I adore how much agency and confidence she was allowed.
As for people who say they didn't like the ending because it 'destroyed' the found family aspect of the Guardians, I never got the impression that these characters weren't going to meet up again and that they stopped being family. There was no discussion on how they were 'bad' for each other or that they'd be better off individually, which is normally the consensus when groups split in media. Quill should spend the remaining time his grandfather has with him. Mantis should go explore herself and her independence after years of captivity and compliance. Drax and Nebula should rebuild, and create, and love on the new occupants of Knowhere, as they've been forced to spend most of their lives being destroyed and being destructive. Rocket and Groot should carry on the legacy of the Guardians, protectors of the universe. And Gamora has clearly established a loving family of her own with the Ravagers, which is what she deserves. Everyone's ending felt pertinent and cathartic, and we were left with a sense of hope and a twinkle of potential for what could come in the future.
Thank you, Gunn and the cast and crew of this film, for making me cry the hardest I have in a theater since Toy Story 3, and for ending my favorite MCU series so beautifully. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better conclusion.
We'll all fly away together, one last time, into the forever and beautiful sky. 🚀

Am I surprised that people think rocket having buckys arm is hilarious? Nope. Not at all.
I never understood how that shitty joke is so funny.

I just watched Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and I felt like it really solidified one of the reasons why Endgame just did not work in my opinion which was that none of the characters whose stories were ending in that movie actually got a proper send-off that was focused on them. This is because, in Endgame, everything was taking place in the midst of a much larger story where a major goal was still to set up future storylines and ultimately to try to give partial or equal focus to a really unreasonable number of characters. I always hate on Steve’s ending in particular and while I do definitely think it was a majorly poor choice for his character in general it was also just really rushed and didn’t make sense given the pretty minimal amount of time that was allocated to his character in that movie, whereas if Steve had gotten to go out on a final Captain America movie I’m sure it would have been much more likely for him to get an ending that actually aligned with his arc as a whole and within that film. Plus, characters that are so well established deserve to get a real conclusion that is focused on them! And it worked so well in GOTG3 to actually have that but I couldn’t believe it when I realized that this is the first time in the MCU that a series has gotten to end in that way. I feel like it really goes to show how much this type of franchise storytelling wrecks character arcs more often than not because the priority is always the bigger picture rather than the individual story, and I’m happy Guardians got to end in this way but the other characters should have gotten that too :(
