Comments
I’m honestly surprised at the concerns about Guardians Vol III and don’t think I’ve heard specifics about why it’s such an issue for certain kids (or adults). I remember a vague point about this during the Guardians episode of the podcast but didn’t hear anything specific. “Animal cruelty” is the extent of what I know. What specifically, Dave, was triggering for you? Could you point out which scene and explain what about it made you feel uncomfortable? Maybe I’m just cold hearted since none of it bothered me - though I was moved to tears several times - but I genuinely want to hear what’s causing other people to react so strongly.

2023-05-30 18:25:33 +0000 UTCI didn’t make it to the theater to see this film until this weekend. But I’d bet a couple months rent that the next movie has a scene where Giselle introduces Han to their kid.
