    There’s no denying that James Gunn’s got a fantastic taste in retro or modern music. He uses the soundtrack to ground and elevate the action in ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy Volume 3’ simultaneously, be it Florence And The Machine’s ‘Dog Days’ during the movie’s ending or blasting off Bestie Boys’ power-balled No Sleep Till Brooklyn as the team heads off into a battle.

    4. Post-Credits Scenes

    The end of James Gunn at Marvel is not the end of the ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ franchise. While Peter and Mantis take time off from being saviors, we see Rocket leading a new Guardians team consisting of him, Groot, Cosmo, Kraglin, Adam, Phyla, and Blurp. Perhaps there’s more to come from the franchise?

    5. Well-Rounded Character Arcs

    Once again, this is attributed to James Gunn’s ability to tell a story. He wonderfully balances the pain and vulnerabilities of all his characters – be it friends or foes. Be it Adam Warlock or Peter Quill- Gunn does justice to make every character a better version of themselves. With the antagonist, High Evolutionary, Gunn makes the right call not to humanize him and make him the pinnacle of evil.
