Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3: Difference between revisions
Adding trope.
(sorted the tropelist as per the instructions in ATT:Style Guide, added some crosslinks (linking to only the actors who we have pages for, instead of to all actors, looks sloppy), updated the link to Zoe Saldaña's page after moving that page, cleaned up the flow of the work description) |

Line 7 ⟶ 6:
'''Spoilers for previous MCU entries ahead!'''
Now headquartered in [[w:Knowhere|Knowhere]], the Guardians are between jobs, with a depressed Peter Quill spending most of his time drunk to avoid coping with the loss of Gamora. He is forced to sober up quickly when Rocket is almost killed by a gold-skinned flying man, Adam Warlock ([[Will Poulter]]).
Normal medical treatment is prevented by a previously unknown security device designed to stop Rocket's heart if his body is tampered with by anyone other than his original creators. This sends the rest of the Guardians on a [[Race Against the Clock]] to find the shadowy company that made him, and obtain the control code to allow him to be saved. The mission is especially hard because not only is their main tech guy incapacitated, but the attack turns out to have been ordered by the same company and its founder, the High Evolutionary ([[Chukwudi Iwuji]]), in an attempt to wipe Rocket out.
On the way the Guardians meet several old friends and learn a great deal about Rocket's mysterious back-story.
Line 20 ⟶ 19:
* [[Amusing Injuries]]: One of the results of Kraglin's failed attempts at using Yondu's arrow is him flying it into Nebula's chest. She merely glares at him and pulls it out.
* [[Androcles' Lion]]: {{spoiler|Adam is saved from the destruction of the High Evolutionary's spaceship. Shortly afterwards, he helps save Peter from a botched attempt to jump from said spaceship to Knowhere.}}
* [[Arbitrary Skepticism]]: One that is played for drama. The High Evolutionary says there is no god despite the fact their existence should be well known by now thanks to Thor helping in defeating Thanos. It's heavily implied that he is so arrogant that he doesn't think the deities of the MCU fit his criteria of divinity, so he put himself in their place.
* [[Arc Words]]: "It's not a trap, it's a face-off."
* [[Body Horror]]:
Line 41:
* [[A God Am I]]: This episode's egomaniac-of-the-week is the High Evolutionary. People who don't think themselves gods don't say things like this:
{{quote|"There is no god! That's why I stepped in."}}
* [[Heroic Dog]]: Cosmo features more in this installment.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]] / [[Actor Allusion]]: Adam is played by Will Poulter, and some of his dialogue is hilariously reminiscent of Eustace Scrubb.
* [[In the Back]]: {{spoiler|Adam is first defeated and Drax saved when Nebula shoves a [[Hot Blade]] through his back and out the front.}}
