“Guardians II was a ridiculous story. Ridiculous. “
To be fair, Guardians features a space racoon.
And he was the best actor in the movie.
To be fair, one of the best stories on film features a tin man and a talking lion
For that matter, Homer’s Odyssey features a many eyed monster, yet the engineers at NASA named a ship after it
Seriously, the first guardians I attended with my kid who gets me to all the superhero flicks. It turned out to be a good story.
As a lit teacher, I can say all good stories follow certain patterns and themes. If the characters illustrate a little love and then some humor along with some sort of appeal then it’s a good film/story, raccoon or no raccoon. Orc or hobbit
Guardians II is about Patricide. It’s not a theme people will relate to, remember nor see twice. It appeals to kids with deadbeat dads. But it’s not appealing. Even those kids, especially those kids, need to and want to see heroic stories.
