Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 appears to be completely subverting a common criticism of the Thor franchise in its later years, which could help the final film in James Gunn's trilogy of space-faring adventures end on a high note. While the film has been a long time in the making, and not without its behind-the-scenes drama, Guardians 3 is one of the most highly anticipated films slated for Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, especially after its emotional first trailer dropped at San Diego Comic-Con. So far, the film has promised a truly emotional and ultimately satisfying conclusion to the Guardians' journey.
