Guardians of the Galaxy **OFFICIAL** GOTG Vol. 2 SPOILERS Thread

[Wise]

When you guys say "Ego's planet" does that mean Ego when he becomes a planet, or Ego in human form, living on a planet?

Kurt Russell is basically just a physical manifestation of the planet, a way he can communicate and send a part of himself out into the galaxy. The Ego from the comics (The planet with the giant face) is in the film.

Yes, relatively early in the film.

Aaand, final question from me (at least for now ):
What year is the first scene set? As in, I guess it's set on Earth with young CGI Kurt Russell, no? And if so, how is the CGI on Kurt?

Spoiler

Can someone describe in as much detail the deaths of Yondu and Ego?

What is Stan Lee's cameo before the credits?

Does Ego look like his comic counterpart when he is in the planet form? Does he look awesome?

1980 and Kurt does have young CG applied in the same way RDJ and Michael Douglas did.

Thanks!
Figured that was the case. Seems like every year from now on will have at least one MCU movie with such a CGI.
2014 - Older Peggy
2015 - Young Hank Pym
2016 - Young Tony Stark
2017 - Young Ego

My guess for 2018 will be a young T'Chaka in Black Panther or something. Or a young Janet Pym in Ant-Man & The Wasp.

Entire Plot Summary (contains heavy spoilers):

GOTG are on Sovereign planet doing a job. They complete it and their payment is a captured Nebula. When they leave the Sovereign discover that rocket stole some batteries which are worth a fortune.

Sovereign go after the GOTG while Rocket and Quill fight over the pilot position. They're eventually saved by a random ship which blows up the Sovereign. The GOTG crash on a planet.

The ship from before lands, it's Ego and Mantis. Ego reveals himself and they talk overnight. Eventually Peter, Drax and Gamora go back to his home planet (Mantis bonds with Drax).

Meanwhile the Sovereign queen hires Yondu and his crew to capture the GOTG and bring back the batteries. Starhawk also shows up and reveals that Yondu broke the Ravager code. They don't take jobs involving children (when Yondu took Star-Lord).

The following day Peter and the others arrive on Ego's planet and learn about his history. He's a celestial. As time went on he took form as a brain. Then built a shell around him which became a planet. Then he made a bodily form to explore the universe. Peter learns he has Celestial powers like Ego.

Meanwhile the Ravagers show up and attempt to capture Rocket (who is looking after Groot and Nebula). Rocket defeats the Ravagers until Yondu shows up. Yondu shows reluctance to hand the GOTG over to the Sovereign so his crew turns on him. Nebula also frees herself and shoots Yondu and Rocket.

Taserface who led the mutiny against Yondu begins killing the Ravagers that sided with Yondu. Rocket, Groot and Yondu are kept prisoner. Nebula takes a ship and leaves.

In captivity, Rocket and Yondu bond. Groot and Kraglin (Yondu's 2nd in command) help them escape. They also get a prototype finn for Yondu's head which is taller (looks kinda closer to his older comic one but not as 60's). They head to Ego to rescue Peter and the others. Before his death, Taserface contacts the sovereign fleet.

Nebula arrives at Ego's planet and tries to kill Gamora. Revealing that as kids Thanos would have them fight. The loser would have a body part replaced with cybernetics. Nebula always lost. Eventually through fighting they bond and form an uneasy truce. They also discover a graveyard full of bones.

Mantis and Drax bond and she starts to tell Drax about Ego's plan before Gamora interrupts and tries to force it out of her.

Ego reveals his plan to Peter. Ego has been planting seeds that will terraform various worlds, making them a part of him. But he needs more celestial power in order to complete his plan. Thus he went around impregnating women so they'd be born with his powers. Yondu would then collect them after birth and bring them to Ego. However none of them could harness the power correctly until Peter. The other children were killed (The bones Gamora and Nebula found).

Ego uses his power to control Peter as he continues telling his plan/story. When he gets to the part about Peter's mother though, it breaks the connection. Ego deliberatly caused Peter's mother to die. Ego planted the tumour inside of Peter's mother.

Meanwhile Mantis tells what she knows of Ego's plan to Gamora, Drax and Nebula. Rocket, Yondu, Groot and Kraglin arrive and the Guardians reunite
The sovereign fleet shows up to kill/capture the Guardians.
Mantis reveals to the team that if they want to defeat Ego they need to destory his core at the center of the planet.

They battle with the sovereign fleet while Groot plants a bomb. The guardians escape except for Peter (and Yondu) who fights Ego by becoming a Celestial Pac-Man. The bomb explodes and kills Ego, the planet collapses.

Yondu sacrifices himself by giving the last oxygen suit to Peter and taking him as high as possible into space.

The Guardians (including Kraglin and Mantis) give Yondu a funeral. The other Ravager factions led by Starhawk among others arrive to pay their respects as Peter reflects on family. The Guardians (including Yondu) are his family now. Kraglin gives Peter a Zune with 300 songs which Yondu was keeping for a special occasion. Peter gives Kraglin the arrow that Yondu used.

That Zune part was hilarious with Kraglin saying 'Apparently this is what everyone on Earth are using now'

The David Hasslehoff moment was probably my favourite though.

When you mentioned Earth...
What was the thing with that promo clip on Earth with the blue explosion and people filming it?
Was that scene even in the movie?

 

[GothamBat]

so what are the 5 post credit scenes?

 

[Loki882]

Ego sounds like a real piece of work.

Too much "ego"?

That's Ego's seed expanding and starting to take over the planet. It looks like it only engulfs a town on Earth but on other planets it has varying effects, like one planet we see it growing to the point where it can be seen from space easily.

Another thing, if you guys loved the opening credit sequence from the first film, you will love this one. Probably my favorite part of the film. Also, visually, this film is incredible. The use of vibrant colors really differentiates itself from other Marvel films.

 

[smallville fan]

so what are the 5 post credit scenes?

1) Kraglin using the Arrow
2) Teenage Groot
3) Adam Worlock set up
4) The Watchers leaving Stan Lee on the moon
5) Original Ravagers with Stallone reuniting.

Also, Yondu is dead yes? If so then why does his imdb list Infinity War?

Perhaps he is in a flashback? That or he is brought back using an infinity stone.

Not sure why he is listed. Could be a smokescreen or he is resurrected some how.

 

[samsnee]

How is Kurt Russell? Does he do anything action wise besides give exposition?

 

[Vartha]

Ok so how many more hours before reviews pop up online?

I guess at any time lol Not sure really

 

[batfan1028]

How is Kurt Russell? Does he do anything action wise besides give exposition?

Kurt Russel is great. Wasn't the biggest fan of his character but Kurt just oozes charm in every role he is in.

He actually gets a few action beats towards the end of the film.
