I love Adam Warlock’s character arc. He was born prematurely for the sole purpose of killing. He doesn’t know any better. His mother says “kill the Guardians,” so he will kill the Guardians. But then when he hurts people he says “I don’t like how this makes me feel.” He discovers his own nature. He doesn’t LIKE killing. He evolves beyond his creator’s expectations, not unlike Rocket. When he finds out the lives of his mother and people are on the line, THAT spurs him to keep fighting. To save them. Then he fails. Everything he had to live for is gone. Then the people he was targeting save him. They give him a second chance. And he decides to save one of them in return. He finds himself. He’s not a killer. He’s a savior. He’s a Guardian of the Galaxy at heart.
And to think he doesn’t get so much as a thank you for saving Peter. Give this guy some respect. Even a silent head nod exchange of “thanks” and “you’re welcome” between him and any of the Guardians during the group hug scene would’ve sufficed.
He didn’t have to save Peter. But he did.

Best gag in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was the High Evolutionary needing a box to stand on because Elizabeth Debicki is just that tall.

I know Adam’s youthful behaviour is because he was prematurely removed from his cocoon but I just rewatched Vol. 2 & the Sovereign’s fleet is basically a higher stakes video game so at least some of it has to just be in his DNA

oh my god imagine being sovereign during the events of gotg 3. one day your queen Ayesha and the warlock Adam leave to go visit your god, the high evolutionary. and you just never hear from any of them again. ayesha's dead, high evolutionary is being fucking imprisoned on knowhere, and adam became a guardian. but you don't know any of that. all you know is that your queen and adam went to go visit your god and you never heard from any of them again.

One Dress a Day Challenge
August: Fantasy & Sci-Fi
Guardians of the Galaxy, vol. 2 / Elizabeth Debicki as High Priestess Ayesha
Ayesha and her people, the Sovereign, only appear in a few short scenes in this film, but they are extremely memorable, and the visual design plays a large part in that effect. This gown was made mostly of leather.
The designer, Judianna Makovsky, had this to say in an interview: "I wanted it to have a very metallic and intricate feel. One of the things that James Gunn said is that 'everything in the world is gold.' But we didn't want it to look like Las Vegas. So it wasn't going to be sequin-sparkly, anything like that. But also, we wanted something that was quite sexy as well as being armor. We were also paying a bit of homage to Flash Gordon. Everybody seems to love Flash Gordon, so I wanted to keep it in that world.... We had two versions of skirt: one for sitting and one for standing. One that would fully tulip all the way around and one that was flatter in the back. So it was pretty either way."
Elizabeth Debicki also commented that the costume helped her to get in character: "The restrictions in a costume like that, the corset element of it, the severity of the angles of it and even the weight of it, completely informs how you move because you can' t do certain things in it, which then indicates the type of person you are. When you think of the logic of that character, you wonder why she wears something like that. But it's because she' s informing her people the type of queen she is. It completely changes your physicality, though. I didn' t really feel like Ayesha in a way until I put that dress on and then sat on that throne. Then I really knew what she was all about."

Do you think Peter ever tried to sneak creatures on Yondu’s ship as a kid to be like a pet?
my gut says yes because funny. my gut also says he likely pulled the same shenanigans in the carehomes/foster homes when he was growing up in 616. Again because funny.
my overthinking brain says probably yes why not because in his original first appearance the man had a pet owl (named Al) who he considered his only friend (BOY get HELP). so the boy would be like yes I’m having a friend over and his friend is like. a whole beast.
