This discussion of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 will feature spoilers, so I don’t want to hear any whining from any of you nerds. Read on, or don’t; I get paid either way.

First of all, the new GotG is only the second one, and let us recall that the original GotG was a joyous and lovable surprise back in 2014 not because of its plot (which I can barely remember) but because of the memorable characters it created and the tone of devil-may-care insouciance that succeeded in keeping a multiplanet space opera as fleet as Donald O’Connor pratfall-dancing throughout “Make ‘Em Laugh.”
