Pic is from Alita: Battle Angel. I thought it was a well-chosen moment, in a strange, otherworldly film to suddenly drop this, and left me feeling hyped up for the good guys.
Guardians of the Galaxy, vol. 3
I’d been wondering if the MCU would drop an F bomb before they retro-canonized Deadpool and Logan. In this and many, many other ways, GotG3 seemed to really push what you could get away with under a PG-13 rating.
Interesting that they went for a comedic moment (“Open the fucking door”) rather than an emotional one. Still slightly surreal to hear Chris Pratt say it (it’s been a while since Zero Dark Thirty …)
According to James Gunn it was adlibbed and Gunn asked Feige if he can keep it in. The Russos almost had Tony say “Fuck you” when snapping but decided against it. Feige asked Gunn if he really wanted that to be his Marvel legacy to which Gunn answered “Do you know who you’re talking to?”
