> [@Snooooopy](#): > > I’m starting to get pretty exhausted by the ever-widening sprawl of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so I’m mostly pulling back from it I was sufficiently aware of how Marvel comics work, from when I was a kid, to notice that they were doing the same thing with their films. They create a far larger body of characters than it’s feasible for any non-compulsive person to follow and then they intertwine the storylines just enough to try and push you over into other character titles. The Cinematic Universe does seem to, at least, largely treat some titles as being more cross-over heavy and inexplicable to the average watcher without an encyclopedic knowledge of the mythos, and others as more self-contained and fully pictured (i.e. it doesn’t introduce a whole new character through some one sentence quip that summarizes hundreds of years of history, instead it will actually show us that history in a reasonable and fullsome manner). If you stick to the latter type, they can actually be some reasonably decent, standalone films to watch. I’d avoid the Avengers and Captain America titles. Ant-Man, Thor, and Guardians all seem more self-contained. I’m not sure about any others, personally. ---

I watched this on a plane a few days ago. I liked it, but I think I would have liked it better if all of the scenes with Adam Warlock were cut out. I felt like the movie ground to an unfunny halt whenever he showed up. ---

I ran out of stuff to watch on my exercise bike, so I streamed this for a second time. Better the second time. - Was Rocket the one that disfigured the High Evolutionary after HE shot Lylla? Rocket climbs on top of HE’s face and is slashing at him with the big metal “key” he’d fashioned. At the end, after the mask-peel, HE even shouted at Rocket, “look what you’ve done to me!” - There was a very brief shot in the HE’s ship, after Rocket says, “I’m tired of running” then there’s a big hallway fight. Quill slides under a black-clad human and wedgies the dude, who reacts oof! ---

> [@DigitalC](#): > > Before that incident it was just his normal face I just looked again, the scene with the creatures in gas chambers being enlarged. You’re right. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/guardians-of-the-galaxy-vol-3-seen-it-thread-no-spoilers-in-op/983651.md?page=3)
