(Blue -> green)
Line 35:
* [[Creative Sterility]]: All the rest of the High Evolutionary's creations suffer from this, being able to follow instructions well but unable to innovate. This is why Rocket's being able to think of a solution to a problem that even the High Evolutionary couldn't is so desirable.
* [[Die or Fly]]: We see several times Kraglin screwing up the use of the yaka arrow. Then the High Evolutionary and Hellspawn attack Nowhere, and with everything on the line, he {{spoiler|sees a vision of Yondu}} and finally gets it to work.
* [[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.
* [[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.}}
* [[Losing Your Head]]: Groot trying to fight Adam ends up with the former reduced to his head.
* [[TrailersNever AlwaysTrust Liea Trailer]]: An emotional shot of Nebula carrying an unconscious Peter in the trailers is revealed in the film proper to really be because the man blacked out from drinking too much.
* [[Organic Technology]]: Orgocorp's entire schtick. Their headquarters is built into a giant spacefaring creature and their mooks wear biomechanical suits.
* [[Petting Zoo People]]: What do you expect from a company that made a talking raccoon?
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: Peter drops the F-bomb due to his frustration with Nebula's inability to work the lock of a car door.
* [[Purple Is Powerful]]: The High Evolutionary wears purple and his gravity tech is too.
* [[Ragtag BandBunch of Misfits]]: The Guardians. The Ravagers also qualify.
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: {{Spoiler|Rocket}} gives a short but effective one to {{Spoiler|the High Evolutionary}}.
* [[Running Gag]]: "Did that look cool?"
* [[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 Forfor 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}}.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: There's a reason Rocket doesn't discuss his past. Even Nebula is horrified.
* [[Trailers Always Lie]]: An emotional shot of Nebula carrying an unconscious Peter in the trailers is revealed in the film proper to really be because the man blacked out from drinking too much.
* [[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.
