When Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 arrives in theaters this week, six years after Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 landed at the cineplex, it will mark the conclusion of writer/director James Gunn’s long journey with this particular band of Marvel Comics misfits. Billed as the conclusion of this iteration of the Guardians as a team, Vol. 3 has a lot of plot to get through, and that’s before you even consider the various enemies and allies the team will encounter in their final adventure together. So before you head into the theater, let’s do a little refresh. Here’s a quick guide to every major Vol. 3 character, where they stand, and what they might face.

Videodrome and Scanners are two horror films that were released in the early 1980s. While both movies were directed by David Cronenberg, they explore different themes and use different approaches to create horror. This essay will contrast the two films, highlighting their differences and similarities.One of the main differences between Videodrome and Scanners is their approach to horror. Videodrome is a more psychological horror film that explores the relationship between technology and the human mind. The film follows Max Renn, a TV station owner who becomes obsessed with a new program called “Videodrome,” which features graphic and disturbing images. As Max becomes more involved with the program, he begins to experience hallucinations and physical transformations that blur the line between reality and fantasy.In contrast, Scanners is a more traditional horror film that focuses on supernatural abilities. The movie follows Cameron Vale, a “scanner” who has the power to read minds and control others. Vale is recruited by a mysterious organization that seeks to use scanners as weapons, and he soon finds himself in a battle against another powerful scanner who wants to rule the world. Scanners is a more action-packed film that features intense violence and special effects.Another difference between the two films is their underlying themes. Videodrome is a commentary on the relationship between technology and the human mind, and the potential dangers of media saturation. The film questions the effects of media on our consciousness and the way we perceive reality. Scanners, on the other hand, explores the idea of power and control. The movie asks the question of what would happen if someone with supernatural abilities gained too much power, and how they might use that power to shape the world in their image.Despite these differences, there are some similarities between the two films. Both movies feature dark and unsettling atmospheres that create a sense of dread and unease. They both also use body horror to shock and disturb viewers. In Videodrome, Max undergoes a physical transformation as a result of his exposure to the Videodrome program, while in Scanners, scanners have the ability to cause physical harm to others by using their powers.In conclusion, Videodrome and Scanners are two horror films that explore different themes and use different approaches to create horror. While Videodrome is a more psychological film that questions the effects of media on our consciousness, Scanners is a more action-packed movie that explores the idea of power and control. Despite their differences, both films feature dark atmospheres and use body horror to shock and disturb viewers.
Wait, so Hawkeyes wife is actually an otter?
Well, aren’t we the judgey one today?
No judgement here, just making an observation Linda Cardellini is both the voice of the otter and Hawkeyes wife.
She can play one or the otter, but not both.
It would be an amazing twist to find out they are the same entity.
Leave. Now. And ponder your life choices.
I’m thousands of years old. All I do anymore is ponder my life choices. Like, should I have given Isildur a little push?
Obviously, he needed help taking that step. He’d have lava’d you for it.
Nebula is the bald, blue one made mostly of spare parts. And yet smoking hot. Karen Gillan is amazing
I know so many people for which “being bald and a lady” is a feature not a bug. Its not my thing but some folks like a lady with a bald head
Nebula of course can pull off a variety of looks
We’ve come a long way since Star Trek: The Motion Picture, where just shaving an attractive woman’s head was considered freaky enough to suffice as exotic alien makeup.
Sorry, that chick still freaks me out like 50 years later.
It would appear that the “You can shave her head, but she’s gotta have legs up to here” rule still applies
She reminds me of Rebecca Romijn playing Mystique. And yes, to me she will be the only Mystique. No hate towards Jennifer Lawrence, but…there’s only one Mystique in my heart.
I think that if you had told anyone 10 years ago that Linda Cardellini would play not one, but two characters in the MCU they would have told you you were absolutely full of shit. I love her, but it’s so random!
Linda Cardellini also plays two characters in the Scooby Doo universe–Velma and her doppleganger Hot Dog Water
even stranger that the list of actors who’ve played multiple MCU roles includes martin starr, mahershala ali, gemma chan, alfre woodard, michelle yeoh and patton oswalt.
Oooh, they’re finally including Adam Warlock?? I was hoping for his appearance sooner, like in the second one, but I’ll take it. Will Poulter is a weirdly good fit. I never realized how tall he was, either.
How are they explaining Gamora being back again?
Oh for fuck’s sake.
To be a pedantic nerd: the Guardians didn’t ‘mess up’ protecting the Anulax Batteries from the Abilisk. They defeated the Abilisk, but Rocket stole one of the batteries.
“Ayesha hired the Guardians to protect the Anulax Batteries from the Abilisk.”
Pretty sure they’re Harbulary Batteries.
NO THEY’RE NOT
Cool to see Adam Warlock, but Will Poulter doesn’t exactly fit.
