Guardians of the Galaxy Watch-Along

this movie is like 'ah yeah dumb space.....why are you making me cry this much'???

I love star citizen too 😃 btw the ship u were thinking of is the khar tu al I’m pretty sure

Such a beautiful movie it brings a tear to my eye 😭

I've watched this movie so many flippin times. Each time that I see this opening scene it affects me differently. My mom died less than two years ago and it breaks my heart thinking about it. So - yup, heartbreaking beginning... but then awesome as fuck continuation from that point! xD lmao - I know this is your first time watching this - but I'm sorta shocked that you're in the dark with this one here. Just got finished watching this and wow, it was so much fun! :) I love going back and rewatching this content and doing so with a fresh reaction makes it even more fun. Thank you for the entertainment! :D

I can't see the movie on here why is that?

Actual privledge to watch this reaction with you <3 everything from here on hense will be perfection <3

Watching this was something I needed in my life. Thank you for sharing the experience.

God I love your reactions so much. It was an absolute joy to watch my personal favorite Marvel movie with you. Honestly, the emotion you bring and show in your reactions is unparalleled and I appreciate it so much. I look forward to every reaction you release, and I'm so excited to keep watching your Marvel journey. I really hope we all get to see you watch the entire Infinity Saga! Much love from California

can you react to Oppenheimer from christopher nolan

They tell you to watch Marvel, they don't tell you your going to cry over a tree. I love this movie and I'm glad you loved it so much. Also, I would love a Footloose reaction.

Y'all Long-terms knew what the intro would do to her and let her do it ANYWAY. Y'all wrong for that 😅😅😅 I mean it was entertaining, but still 🤣

Just a heads up, Assassian's Creed Valhala is on sale on steam all expansion packs and game for 13.99

I'm so glad you're watching the Guardians Trilogy. If you liked this one you will positively love 2 and 3. Please do react to the Christmas Special immediately before GOTG 3 when you come to it...😍 I watched all Marvel movies until "Avengers: Endgame" in cinema, but the Guardians trilogy and the Spiderman movies are the only ones I want to re-watch.

please mention where you watch stuff.. some places have longer cuts

I was waiting for this reaction from the moment you started the MCU. Rag Tag group of Space Ninjas and Nerds get together to guard the galaxy! How could you not love this movie? One of the best MCU Franchises. James Gunn has very specific sense of humor that's prevalent in all his films. I'm warning you now, even though chronologically it's like at the far end of most of the MCU films and shows, when you do finally get to it, bring the tissues and electrolytes, otherwise Guardians 3 will have you severely dehydrated! Thanks again for a great reaction. I only reacted to the YouTube version thus far, so I'll put out new Eralia-isms once I get a chance to react to this full reaction.

I was lucky enough to see a test screening of this back in spring of 2014 with unfinished VFX. I walked out of there with the biggest smile on my face knowing that this movie was going to be a massive hit with the fans despite it being about a relatively unknown group of heroes. There was so much love and care that went into this trilogy. You're going to love all 3 (and the Christmas special).

If you like this movie, the next two are going to make you love this characters even more, volume 2 explores deeply in all the characters presented in this movie and makes them even more human and easy to relate to. And volume 3.... MAN that movie is like going to therapy, is a beautiful story about facing your past and forgive yourself. The best trilogy in the MCU ❤️.

Definitely need more singing

and Lee Pace! (Ronan) So many good roles — Pushing Daisies, Halt and Catch Fire, The Hobbit, Foundation

I lost my Mom to cancer just a few years back, so the opening always hits me hard, too. Watching with you made it easier. Thank you.

Another great reaction. This one hits hard emotionally right out of the gate, then immediately pivots into something much lighter, which is such a Guardians trademark. Side note: no need to ever apologise for reacting emotionally. That openness is a big part of what makes your reactions work so well. This movie also feels like a real tonal shift for the MCU. The earlier films all had humour, but they were still centred on highly capable, mostly heroic people—flawed, sure, but very much “top of their game.” Guardians throws that out the window. Instead, we get a bunch of socially inept criminals with mostly selfish motivations, barely holding it together, somehow saving the galaxy. It’s kind of like Avengers, but with idiots—and that’s very much a compliment. It’s hard to call it a straight-up favourite because it’s doing something so different. Iron Man is iconic because it sets everything in motion, Avengers was a once-in-a-lifetime cinema experience seeing all those characters come together for the first time, and Guardians is just… its own thing. Apples and oranges, all excellent for different reasons. Also, the soundtrack absolutely slaps, and the next two Guardians films keep that tradition going. That line near the end - “We are Groot” - still lands every single time. Random side note: watching this, I kept being reminded of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. If it’s not already on your list, it’s well worth it. Different setting, but a very similar chaotic, found-family vibe.

Hahahaha "ACKSHUALLY HoWaRd ThE dUcK wAs ThE fIrSt MaRvEl MoVie 🤓 " 😂😂😂

Nice watch. Thank you, Eralia. Now you said Blade towards the end. I think the first Blade could be a nice movie to throw in at some point. Either way, I'm still getting a lot of enjoyment from your watch-alongs.

The star shaped ship you were thinking of from Star Citizen is the KHARTU-AL :)

On it's own Guardians of the Galaxy is a great movie. But I think what really elevates it is that we all needed a palette cleanser after the seriousness of the last few movies. It was the right kind of movie at the right time.

10/10 CHRISTMAS GIFT

I love watching these movies again with you. There's so many more ahead, it's hard not to give anything away. Your reactions are priceless, and you have a great singing voice 8) Alone on Christmas, this was a nice treat.

George Lucas produced Howard the Duck. It wasn't great lol... but it was based on a Marvel comic book Per James Gunn, Groot actually did die, Baby Groot is his son. Guardians of the Galaxy is my favorite of all MCU movies. James Gunn also did the new Superman movie that just came out. Just a tip, you might want to put yourself on the right side of the camera so the movie doesn't cover part of your face, but I still loved your reaction to this movie :)

What a treat on Christmas. I'm glad you found this movie as fun as you did. It was a big swing for Marvel at the time. Brings me back to watching it in a Baltimore theater the first night I got back to the states from a deployment. I was so stoked to see it was still in theaters. Like you alluded, everything else so far was earth grounded and still in a realm of believably. The first few movies (Iron Man and Hulk especially) were also heavily supported by the military as Marvel was a brand new movie studio and pre-Disney buy out trying something new, so that's why they felt different than most of the stuff that has since come out. This was something wildly different and there were doubts Marvel knew what it was doing. Luckily it became a hit. Looking forward to seeing the rest of this series with you.

What a great Christmas present for all of us. I saw this in theaters with my older sister who doesn't know a thing about Marvel stuff other than what I tell her and she loved this movie. There is no back story you need, the movie gives you all you need. So you can have all the space stuff but it is really a story grounded by emotion. It is also pretty amazing they got two of the biggest actors in Hollywood to play a Raccoon and a Tree.

All the Guardian movies are really well done, I'm sure you'll love them.

Thank you Eralia! This was a huge Christmas gift to me. I hope you are having a fun and relaxing time this Holiday! Actually, Howard the Duck was a flop Blade was great! So I consider Blade as the 1st of the Marvel Movies. But Iron man was first in the MCU so you are doing perfect! *hugs*

Best Christmas present ever, watching this reaction video. Thank you so much.

Just realized it’s probably still Christmas for you, which is wild! Thanks for this, and Merry Christmas!

"Iron Man" WAS the first movie of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so while it is true that there were many movies based on Marvel content that preceded the MCU, you were still kinda right based on the information you had available at the time; you just didn't know the whole story (the separation (at the time) between the MCU and the non-MCU (original Spider-Man movies, X-Men movies, Blade, etc.)

Haha, yeah, you're not the only one that had this reaction to the movie. When I saw this in the theater it gave me a headache from all the repeated crying and laughing. 😂 Merry Christmas! 🎄

The jailbreak scene is the basis for Disneyland’s “Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission: BREAKOUT!” ride. https://disneyland.disney.go.com/attractions/disney-california-adventure/guardians-galaxy-mission-breakout/

easily the best pre-credits scene!!

I've been definitely waiting for this reaction I knew you would love it. I'm glad you're enjoying the marvel movies. Can't wait for the next one. I'm sure you've got a lot on your plate right now but the X-Men franchise is separate from the MCU they don't have any relationship to each other until much much later so if you looking for something more to watch after you finish Harry Potter start the X-Men franchise you won't be disappointed

You say this is first time watching these movies, but you know character names before their name is mentioned in movie, you said "Drax" before his name was said, Nothing more annoying than reactors that fake reactions....lol

I was hoping for this video today! Best present so far, thank you for sharing it with us. Wishing everyone a joyous "I am Groot." Edit: I'm sorry this movie starts with such a gut punch, it made me cry the first time I saw it, and then on a different level when I lost my dad. Additional later edit: Lovin' the singalong! Final edit: Iron Man was the first MCU movie and anyone nipticking is being needlessly difficult, also Howard The Duck was not a movie worth remembering.

Yaaasss! Lol! Merry Christmas!! 🎅 I saw this on YouTubes first, was like, WTF 😃, but figured it get here. Hey, THAT TIMER IS WAAAAYYYYY TOOO BIG. SO DESTRACTING TO SEE IT COUNTING DOWN IN BOLD WHITE LETTERS.. Enjoying your vids though! Please change the timer. Lol! So sorry to hear about your moms. We lost my mom a few years ago to the C, so this film always hits the feels. 💥🎅🎄👊🏻💥

Merry Christmas 🎄 fellow patrons 🧐

Love this movie, happy to hear about your mom. Marvel lost this type of heart after the infinity saga ended.

Me and my cats will be watching this after my christmas dinner! Merry Christmas eralia!

Merry Christmas Eralia!

Thankful for your honest reactions! It’s been great to get away from the daily grind and watch movies with ya! Have a Merry Christmas and New Year Eralia! Take care. 🎄🎁

The beginning of this one is always tough for me too. It also reminds me of my mom who unfortunately lost her battle with cancer. Cherish the time you have with yours.

Now THATS a Christmas present, thank you Eralia. Hope everyone is safe and having a lovely day

hey it's good to hear your mom won out. it's been ten or so years since my mom did too. there's plenty of time left ahead

What a Christmas present. Merry Christmas everyone!

OUTSTANDING!!👏 Merry Christmas Eralia! 🫡🇺🇸🖖

We are Groot.
