I haven’t watched the previous two films in this Marvel Cinematic Universe subseries for years, especially more so due to the huge gap between the second and third films due to statements director James Gunn said ages ago on Twitter (and I really don’t care about the political views of celebrities unless they personally bombard me, which in my experience has been mostly due to those who oppose them and senselessly propagate the especially-intolerant ones), but film three is very much enjoyable on its own and doesn’t really necessitate remembering what happened in its predecessors, and is an effective mix of action, humor, and seriousness, with Rocket and Cosmo the Spacedog in particular really stealing the show (the former’s backstory really elaborated upon, and actually making me cry at one point), and I very highly recommend it.
