How can you make the two greatest assassins in the universe completely useless and boring?
Oh man.
I loved GotG, but this is fantastic and true.
Hold on.
1. Doesn’t Thanos have a line calling Gamora his favorite daughter right in front of Nebula? Kate Beaton did a comic about it. They even cut to Nebula getting a pissy look and then saying “Thanks, dad” in a sarcastic voice. For a website that can write a thesis about Loki based on him blinking, that makes things pretty obvious. What more do you want?
Nebula: By the way, I resent Nebula because my father loves her more than me.
Ronan: Yeah, I got that.
Nebula: Just checking to see if you were paying attention. I also hate Thanos, which we can attribute both to him liking Gamora and him turning me into a cybernetic killing machine, but I’m obliged to serve him because he’s a nigh-unstoppable space god. However, I would jump ship if someone were to suddenly gain phenomenal cosmic power and come gunning for him. But then if it looked like the new guy was in danger of flaming out, I would probably peace out and see who won. I’m basically a pragmatic opportunist who hates everyone owing to an abusive family and home life. Everyone got that?
2. Gamora shuts down the shield generator protecting Ronan in the climax. Complaining about that is like complaining that in Return of the Jedi, Leia doesn’t physically explode the Death Star, she and Han ‘just’ destroy the (wadayaknow) shield generator protecting it so Lando can hit the power core while Luke kills the Emperor to keep him from escaping and continuing the war. It’s a team effort. What, does a female character not count unless she literally saves the universe all by herself?
