They’re basically Black Widow composites: a pair of emotionally closed-off assassins, raised by an abusive mentor who mutilated their bodies so they could become perfect warriors. The problem is, it highlights Nebula and Gamora’s threadbare characterization.

(The joke is that she’s actually hot.) Nebula ( Karen Gillan) hates Gamora because Gamora got more attention from their father, which is actually one of best emotional arcs in the movie. Gamora ( Zoe Saldana) provides emotional support and mediates arguments between her male teammates. Mantis (Pom Klementieff) has empathic powers, and there’s a running joke about Drax finding her hideously ugly. He’s proud of passing the Bechdel Test, but his female characters are all bogged down in sexist tropes. 2 is obsessed with father figures (Ego, Yondu, Thanos), while mothers are either dead or nonexistent. This kind of insidious sexism is why I can’t take James Gunn’s feminist assertions very seriously. 2 loves the idea of nontraditional families, it has a weirdly regressive attitude to gender roles. ( Baby Groot is easily the best part of the movie, superhumanly adorable and often more engaging than the live-action characters.) Yet while Vol. Writer/director James Gunn positions the Guardians team as an unlikely family unit. They’re alien outlaws, they bicker constantly, and the four adults co-parent a talking baby tree. In other words, it’s a conflict between two very popular blockbuster themes: daddy issues vs. 2 when Peter’s father Ego (Kurt Russell) shows up, forcing Peter to choose between his teammates, and his father’s alien legacy. Born on Earth but kidnapped by the space pirate Yondu (Michael Rooker), Peter grew up to build a new family with the Guardians of the Galaxy, a team of bounty hunters. Guardians of the Galaxy introduced Peter Quill ( Chris Pratt) as a childish but lovable jerk with a cool spaceship.

Otherwise, you may be bored by the lack of new ideas. If you just want more of the same, you’re in luck. This time around, your enjoyment depends on what you thought of the original. 2 takes everything you loved about Guardians of the Galaxy, and repeats it all over again. And because the first movie was a hit, Marvel engineered the sequel to follow in its footsteps. It was unselfconsciously weird, improving on Marvel‘s formula with gorgeous sci-fi visuals and a kick-ass soundtrack. People loved Guardians of the Galaxybecause it felt fresh and fun.
