Those who like Marvel eggs can read my latest article → "Thor 3" Easter eggs are all sorted out (updated)

In addition to the five ending credits, the other Easter eggs in the movie are also not to be missed! The following is a breakdown of the various eggs and tributes that appeared in "Silver Guard 2", suitable for you who have just finished the movie.

*There are spoilers in the article, please take caution before watching movies.

Xingjue mother

Star Jue’s mother Meredith Quill appears in the film again. This time it is no longer a heartbreaking parting scene, but a romantic love story between her and Star Jue’s father Ego when she was young.

Remember the young version of Michael Douglas that appeared in "Ant-Man" and the little Robert Downey in "American Team 3"? At the beginning of the film, Marvel once again used beauty Dafa to reproduce the face of Kurt Russell when he was young, and I believe it will evoke many audiences' memories of this veteran action superstar.

There is another thing that you may not know. Meredith Quill’s actor Laura Hardeck appeared in the Silver Guard long before: In "American Team 1", she appeared as a little girl who asked the captain to sign...

Star Jue's Birthplace

In the comics, Xingjue’s birthplace is Colorado, USA, but in the movie it was replaced by Missouri. The main (probably the only) reason is that director James Gunn himself is from Missouri.

Mattel Football

An instrument held by Xingjue at the opening stage was based on the Mattel Football, an electronic football game machine produced by Mattel in the 1970s. Presumably this was one of Xing Jue's childhood playthings on the earth, which was later transformed (possibly by Rocket Raccoon) into an energy detector.

By the way, the tentacle monster Abilisk that appeared in the opening scene is the original monster of the movie. The energy it wants to snatch-the Anulax battery, collided with a medical anal probe...

Blockhead

In the opening battle, the drunken tree man Groot, who is dancing alone, is undoubtedly the most attractive to the audience. When Dirks was knocked down by the monster next to him, they played the game of "Wooden Man", and Groot only danced when Dirks looked away. Is this scene familiar? In fact, the two had such interaction as early as in "Silver Guard 1."

Star Jue's T-shirt

Since the first trailer was broadcast, the alien slogan on Xingjue’s T-shirt has quickly become a topic of heated discussion among netizens.

Later, it was deciphered by someone who was really good. The most conspicuous characters mean "Gears Shift", and the element in the upper right corner is "dust, cement, stone, ash" (dust, cement, stone, ash). Stones, ashes). Although the meaning is still unclear after deciphering, the small characters under the clothes are really interesting. The translation is "A Teneyck Galaxy Invention" (made by Teneyck Galaxy). Teneyck refers to Karen TenEyck, who has participated in the art design of many MCU movie works. division.

Little bee

There is a scene in the film where the Sovereign fleet splits into two groups and flanks the silver guard spaceship like two swarms, which is reminiscent of the classic arcade game "Galaga".

This is not the first time MCU related eggs of Little Bee appeared. Do you remember the S.H.I.E.L.D. staff who was exposed by Tony to play games in "Reunion"?

In addition, Sovereign’s military center is undoubtedly an alien version of the game hall, and even the shooting sound effects are so childish...

Berhert

After escaping from the attack of the Sovereign fleet, the Silver Guard spacecraft fell to a planet called Berhert.

In the comics, Berhert is the hometown of Centaur and first appeared in the 111th issue of The Incredible Hulk (1969). The story tells that the Hulk's spacecraft was attacked by the Galaxy Master after Berhert crashed. The Hulk then defeated him and helped Princess Daydra of the planet liberate the enslaved Centaur people. Eventually Daydra sent the Hulk back to Earth in a space capsule.

Garbage panda

In early 2014, Reddit user Carl Peligro put forward a theory when commenting on a photo of a raccoon: raccoon = panda in the trash. (Because the raccoon looks similar to the red panda, and likes to churn the trash can).

In 2017, this definition was included in the MCU and became one of the numerous nicknames of Rocket Raccoon.

Star Eagle

The legendary action star Stallone guest starred in Starkar, also known as Starhawk. Starhawk is almost a god-like existence in the comics. It claims to be "One Who Knows". It has the ability to immortal and predict the future. It always experiences the reincarnation of its own life and often changes the development of historical events. Therefore, it has made countless enemies, but also This led to the birth of the first generation of Guardians of the Galaxy.

(Starkar’s transliteration of "Stage" in Hong Kong is a knowing and ingenious ingenuity)

Contraxia

The planet where Yongdu and Starhawk are on is called Contraxia. In the comics, due to the exhaustion of solar energy in the galaxy Elidra, Contraxia was on the verge of extinction. Later, it was saved by Jack of Hearts (the combination of human and Contraxian).

Howard Strange Duck

In the first film, due to the destruction of the Collector's museum, many "fantastic animals" escaped, including Howard The Duck. In this film, we can see him chatting with a girl on Contraxia.

Knight Rider

Camora mentioned the "past events" of the Star Lord in the grove: the childhood Star Lord always lied to his friends that his father was David Hasselhoff, he had a talking car, and took risks to punish him. criminal. I must have seen "Knight Rider" when he was a child, a popular TV series that swept the United States in the 1980s, and the protagonist of the show was the smashing David Hasselhoff.

Later, when Ego confronted the Star Lord, he once became like David Hasselhoff (the crew actually invited himself to play himself).

Cheers bar

There is no shortage of romantic moments between Xingjue and Kamora. When Xingjue talked about the "unspoken thing" of the two men, he mentioned the TV series "Cheers". Ross and Rachel in Friends).

North-northwest

In the film, Nebula Nebula drives a fighter plane and fires at Kamora. The scene where the latter runs desperately on the plain is very similar to the classic scene in "North by Northwest".

Vorker's eyes

In "Silver Guard 1," Rocket Raccoon always comes up with all kinds of strange ideas. When planning to attack Ronan's ship, the Rocket said that he needed a guy's eyes (pointing to Voker, a member of the Marauder next to him), but it was actually just a joke. In "Silver Guard 2", the Rockets finally got what they wanted: Yongdu asked Groot Baby to help him get a new fin-shaped prototype. As a result, Groot got all kinds of weird things, including Voker. s eyes.

Pac-Man

The film reveals Xingjue's identity as a half-man and half-god, possessing the ability to create any material. So in the climax battle, Xingjue manipulated stones to form a huge Pac-Man (with its own sound effects), which shows how deeply this classic video game from the 80s has influenced him.

Stan Lee

There has always been such a fan theory: all the roles of Mr. Stan Lee in the MCU are the same person. Although the old man appeared in different professions and images, they are all related! This was finally confirmed in this film (Marvel Pictures President Kevin Fitch also personally confirmed it)!

When Rocket Raccoon and Yongdu jumped more than 700 times to the Ego star, they passed a planet briefly and interrupted the conversation between Stan Lee and the three mysterious big heads. Later, the old man in a space suit continued to talk about his experience as a courier, echoing his cameo role in "American Team 3".

The identities of the three mysterious people are not simple. They are veteran observers of the universe. They are responsible for observing and recording major events in each universe, and they hardly participate in anything. They are the strongest onlookers in the Marvel universe.

Kronan Warrior

Rocket Raccoon’s spacecraft also passed by another planet, and two Kronan warriors (Kronan) were fighting on it. The Kronan appeared at the beginning of "Thor 2", but was quickly smashed into pieces by Thor's heavy hammer. In addition, "Thor 3" will feature Korg, the famous Kronan, and guest starred by the film's director Taika Whitetti.

(In addition, do you think that the rocket raccoon during the space jump is very similar to the squirrel in the ice age!!!)

Tenshin Group

The identity of Ego in the movie is one of the gods, but this setting is not used in the comics. In fact, everyone has already seen the Celestial Group in the first movie. The first Celestial God to appear is a head, and it is also the Knowhere star, the destination of the Yinhu team after they escaped from prison.

The second one appeared in the image displayed by the collector. In the screen, a deity used infinite gems to destroy the entire planet (this deity may be the searcher Eson The Searcher).

eternal

Ego tried to change Xingjue's worldview in order to help him rule the universe. When he gently pushed Xingjue's forehead, Xingjue's pupils immediately turned into an endless starry sky, and the word "eternal" was spit out from his mouth.

In the Marvel universe, "eternity" is not just a simple concept of time, but an actual role. It is a cosmic god, the personification of time and the will of the universe, and the collective consciousness of all life. It has powerful power and is one of the five gods of Marvel (the others are infinity, annihilation, death, and planet devourer).

Joyful

After Xingjue and Yongdu escaped from the big bang, Yongdu grabbed a flying arrow and landed on the ground. Xingjue said he was like Mary Poppins (the magical nanny in "Happy Man", the classic image is flying in the sky with an umbrella) , Yongdu triumphantly repeats "I'am Mary Poppins y'all".

In the film, Xingjue also referred to Nebula as the blue sister of the Smurfs. It can be seen that Xingjue's brains are derived from the memories of living on the earth.

The Gunn Family

When the blue substance released by Ego invaded various planets, an old couple on the earth took pictures without hurriedly picking up their phones. They are actually the parents of director James Gunn. (The roles of the two in the ending subtitles are "Strange Old Man" and "Strange Old Man's Mistress")

Just in case everyone doesn't know this tidbit: The director's brother Sean Gunn plays the role of Yongdu's Kraglin in the two silver guards, and is a motion capture performer of Rocket Raccoon.

Grandfather

After Xingjue stopped Ego's erosion of the entire universe, the camera returned to Earth and a car almost overturned on the road. If you pay close attention, you will find that the person in the car is Xingjue's grandfather. Xingjue's grandfather appeared in the first movie, played by Greg Henry.

Tangled elves

Before Yongdu's cremation, his body was filled with cute little toys, among them a magical long-haired elf. If you remember, this is the item used by Xingjue in Silver Guard 1 to "exchange" Infinite Gems to Yongdu.

Zune

After the war, Yongdu’s deputy Kraglin handed Xingjue a music player (Microsoft’s failed product Zune, which was discontinued in 2011), saying that everyone on the earth is using it, and the most pleasant surprise for Xingjue There are 300 songs, which means we will hear more modern music in Guardians of the Galaxy 3.

Nathan Fillion

Actor Nathan Fillion dubbed in Silver Guard 1 as an alien prisoner who was critically beaten on the nose by Camora, and in the second part, he finally got the chance to turn over and play the superhero "Wonder Man" (Wonder Man) , But it was cut in the end...

During the shooting, there were many movie posters with Nathan Fillion as the protagonist on the set, which also read "Simon Williams Film Festival" (Simon Williams is the real name of Superman). You can feel it.

Credits

1. If you pay close attention to the ending subtitles, you will find that many staff names have been replaced with "I AM GROOT".

2. Many movies will have a sentence such as "No animals were injured during shooting" at the end of the film, while at the end of this film there is this sentence: "No raccoons or trees were injured during the filming, but their custodians will not It must be". How peculiar is the brain of the crew...

3. Howard Strange Duck appears again at the end of the film.

4. In the last episode, Cosmo the Wonder Dog, which also escaped from the Collector Museum, appears in the end of the film.

5. The Grandmaster, who is about to appear in Thor 3, also appears in the ending subtitles. The role is played by Jeff Goblen.

6. David Hasselhoff reappeared at the end of the subtitles and said to the audience: "In times of difficulty, just remember that we are Groot".

Next are the five legendary end credits !

The first egg : Kraglin practiced using Yongdu's whistle arrow on the spaceship (note that he still wears Yongdu's fin-shaped prototype on his head), but unfortunately, the out-of-control flying arrow hit Dex, who was sitting on the corner. , The latter yelled in pain.

The second egg : After Yongdu's funeral, Stallone met with his old comrades-in-arms and planned to reorganize the team to do big things. This team is the first generation of silver guards-Guardians of the Galaxy 3000, members include Starkar (Stallone), Martinex (Michael Rosenbaum), Aleta (Michelle Yeoh), Charlie-27 (Wen Reims), Mainframe (Voiced by Miley Cyrus) and Krugarr.

The crystal man who appeared next to Star Eagle on Contraxia was named Martinex T'Naga, a science and technology expert in the original Guardians of the Galaxy. Martinex was born on Pluto. His people used genetic engineering to transform the skin of offspring into crystals to adapt to the extremely cold living environment.

In the movie, this role is played by "Luther" Michael Rosenbaum (he is a good friend of director James Gunn) in "Letter".

Like Martinex, Charlie-27's body has also been modified to adapt to survival on Jupiter. Charlie-27 has extremely developed muscles and keen military insight, and is a representative of the team's strength.

In the movie Charlie-27 is played by Vin Reims (this person has acted in the "Mission Impossible" series).

Aleta played by Michelle Yeoh is the true other half of Starkar (Stallone). In Marvel, Starkar was adopted by the Ogord family and gained the power of the "Eagle God" together with his sister Aleta. When the two are combined, they will become Star Eagle, but only one person can control the body (I don’t know if the MCU will follow this setting. ).

Krugarr is a red alien. In the comics, he is the apprentice of Doctor Strange. This may be why he can release the same magic circle in the movie.

Mainframe is an intelligent robot made by Iron Man in the comics. As the successor of Iron Man to protect the world, it is formed with the descendants of many other heroes such as Wolverine’s son Saberclaw, Ant-Man’s daughter Stinger, and Spider-Man’s daughter Spider-girl. The new Avengers A-Next.

In the movie, the Mainframe (voiced by Wheat Grain) appears as a robot head. I wonder if it will be related to Tony Stark in future stories?

The third egg : Sovereign priestess Ayesha was accused by the Parliament for wasting national resources. In order to retaliate against the Guardians of the Galaxy, she created a golden killer and named it "Adam". This undoubtedly means that Adam Warlock (also known as Him) is about to appear in Silver Guard 3.

In the comics, Adam is a perfect android created from the villain organization Enclave (created by the villain organization Enclave). Later, Ayesha (also known as Her) was created because of Adam's betrayal of the creator.

In "Silver Guard 1," a huge cocoon appeared in the collector's museum (the empty shell at the end), and the director confirmed that the cocoon was Adam the magician. In the comics, Adam can form a cocoon around the body and heal itself in the cocoon. Adam who emerges from the cocoon will improve in all aspects.

The fourth egg : Baby Groot grew up into a teenager in a blink of an eye, and his personality began to become rebellious. After being accused by Xingjue's "dad", he continued to play video games without looking back, and said "I am Groot" (no Know what to say but everyone knows). I believe that in "Reunion 3" four years later, Groot will return to the appearance of the first film. (The story of "Reunion 3" will take place four years after "Silver Guard 2")

Fifth easter egg : Stan Lee continued to chat, but the observers turned and left, leaving the father alone on the deserted planet. So the question is, how did Stan Lee land on this planet? Some netizens speculate that he is one of the observers (so this is a few colleagues chatting in the break?), some people say that he is the observer of the earth Uata (explains why he always appears on the earth), and some people say that he His true identity is One-Above-All, the creator of all things in the Marvel universe.

No matter what the answer is, the author expressed that I only hope that the father can appear in more Marvel movies and TV works in the future!
