'''''Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3''''' is a 2023 film, the third in the [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]] ''Guardians of the Galaxy'' series after ''[[Guardians of the Galaxy (film)|Guardians of the Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2]]''. It is written and directed by [[James Gunn]], and features an ensemble cast including [[Chris Pratt]], [[
'''Spoilers for previous MCU entries ahead!'''
Now headquartered in [
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.
As before, the soundtrack is based on Quill's music collection, but it turns out his new Zune contains a lot of 90s tracks.
{{tropelist}}
* [[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."}}▼
* [[A Worldwide Punomenon]]: {{Spoiler|The Guardians have a final face-off with the [[Big Bad]]. They take it quite literally.}}▼
* [[Adult Fear]]: The High Evolutionary and his mad science schtick may be fiction, but the way he's played as the unholy union of abusive father who blows up for little to no reason and [[Pointy-Haired Boss]] who resents more capable underlings while simultaneously trying to squeeze everything out of them is painfully real.
* [[Afterlife Antechamber]]: The High Evolutionary kills off a lot of his experiments (see Complete Monster). Some of them are shown meeting in the Antechamber.
* [[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 44 ⟶ 39:
* [[Expy]]: The High Evolutionary is basically [[The Island of Doctor Moreau|Doctor Moreau]] [[Recycled in Space|In Space]].
* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: Rocket's creators don't just want to kill him, they want to remove his brain for study.
▲* [[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.}}
Line 57 ⟶ 55:
* [[Shout-Out]]: {{spoiler|Adam saving Peter}} is briefly composed like [[w:The Creation of Adam|The Creation of Adam]].
* [[Space Is Cold]]: Just like in the previous film. {{spoiler|Peter freezes in real time when he botches jumping from the High Evolutionary's spaceship to Knowhere. Groot's attempt to grow out branches to pull Peter to safety fail for the same reason.}}
* [[Suddenly Always Knew That]]: {{Spoiler|Drax turns out to know the children's language, right when it's needed.}} Partly [[Played for Laughs]] {{Spoiler|(it is Drax after all), but he makes it into a [[Take That]] at his friends for always assuming he knows nothing}}.▼
* [[The Stinger]]:
** Mid-credits, {{Spoiler|the Guardians, apparently including Adam and one of the rescued kids, discuss Earth music and defend a town from invading creatures}}.
** Post-credits, {{Spoiler|Quill eats breakfast with his grandfather}}.
▲* [[Suddenly Always Knew That]]: {{Spoiler|Drax turns out to know the children's language, right when it's needed.}} Partly [[Played for Laughs]] {{Spoiler|(it is Drax after all), but he makes it into a [[Take That]] at his friends for always assuming he knows nothing}}.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: There's a reason Rocket doesn't discuss his past. Even Nebula is horrified.
* [[The Worf Effect]]:
** While it doesn't rise to the level of an unambiguous [[Curb Stomp Battle]], Adam's first fight with the Guardians has him give them quite the beating.
** The High Evolutionary shows just why he can be a god to the Sovereigns by using his gravity tech to crush Adam into a wall.
▲* [[A Worldwide Punomenon]]: {{Spoiler|The Guardians have a final face-off with the [[Big Bad]]. They take it quite literally.}}
* [[You Are Number Six]]: The High Evolutionary only ever refers to Rocket as 89P13.
