The 8 Best Moments In Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 has been a hit with critics and audiences alike so far and after a strong overseas opening, the signs are all pointing to this being one of Marvel's biggest movies to date, as it looks ready to take North American theatres by storm this weekend. $1 billion seems like a guarantee at this point and with Vol. 3 already confirmed, it sounds like the franchise will be around for a long time to come. Before we start looking ahead to the future, though, we've decided to delve into what exactly it is that makes Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 so special.

Leaving Star-Lord with superpowers ahead of Avengers: Infinity War would have been a huge mistake, but it sure is fun while it lasts in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Upon learning that Ego’s responsible for the death of his mother, Peter Quill taps into his father’s Celestial energy and the two go to war in an action-packed sequence not all that different to the fight between Superman and General Zod in Man of Steel.

Visually, this is a fantastic sequence, but things take a truly awesome turn when we get to see Star-Lord take down Ego’s gigantic rocky avatar with Pac-Man (sound effects and all). Marvel has included a lot of pop culture nods in their movies, but this is one of the first times they probably paid big money to use one in such a way. As such, this is a moment that’s sure to be remembered by fans when they reflect on the film’s most entertaining scenes.
