The Final Frontier of Marvel
Marvel will certainly not give up easily if Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 fails. However, if such a scenario occurs, many long-time fans would likely turn their backs on Marvel. There have been some persistent and stubborn opinions about Marvel’s strategy to build a “cinematic universe,” but the repeated use of major characters has steadily eroded audience confidence.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 serves as a final chapter in the MCU, boasting a dedicated fanbase and has been highly anticipated for the past six years. Not only Marvel fans but also general moviegoers are eagerly waiting for this film to succeed. If it cannot meet audience expectations or if the production team continues to delve too deeply into formulas that make films lose their quality (as seen with Thor and Ant-Man), Marvel will surely face severe backlash.
Conclusion of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
From the trailers, one can feel assured that the humor and unique style of the film will be maintained. The details highlighted are numerous, with a significant focus on the character Rocket Raccoon. Throughout the trailers, the poignant story of this character seems to be the emotional core of the film.
After its global premiere, the film has received numerous accolades from audiences and critics alike, with many praising it as one of the best Marvel films since Avengers: Endgame (2019), citing various emotional moments.
According to Movie Zine, it has also warned audiences about the emotional rollercoaster in the film, particularly regarding Rocket Raccoon’s “heart-wrenching” backstory: “Like Star Wars, the third installment of Guardians of the Galaxy is the best in the series, with humor intertwined with deep emotional moments. There are exciting scenes, epic action sequences, and tender moments. However, audiences will find it hard not to be emotionally stirred. Rocket Raccoon’s story is beautiful and touching.”
James Gunn may have chosen to leave the Marvel universe to lead the DC franchise, but this talented director still leaves behind a significant mark with a concluding chapter in the MCU, specifically with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. This third installment not only marks Gunn’s last Marvel film but also serves as a heartfelt farewell to beloved characters who have become symbols in their own right.
