SPOILER WARNING: The following article contains major spoilers for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. If you have not yet seen the film, proceed at your own risk!
The end that we’ve long known was coming has arrived. When James Gunn first announced development of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in 2017, his statement revealed that the blockbuster would “conclude the story of this iteration of the Guardians of the Galaxy,” and six years later, it can be said that the writer/director delivered on his promise. The ending satisfies arcs first put in motion with the original Guardians movie, and there are expectations that we won’t be seeing a number of the characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe again (or, at the very least, we won’t be seeing them again any time soon).
