I didn't know that.

GOTG2 was more polished than SS2 but it does have the same feel and flow to it. Both were nowhere near as tight and cohesive as the first GOTG. If you're saying that GOTG had a different writer but Gunn was the one who penned GOTG2 and SS2 then that might explain it.

I actually do think GOTG2 has more in common with SS2 than it did with the first GOTG.

Yeah, the first GotG had a screenwriter named Nicole Perlman. Gunn co-wrote. So his ideas were likely filtered through the writing process with an actual professional screenwriter. And who knows- the best ideas could very well have been hers. Directors always get credit even when it’s the screenwriters that did the real story crafting (see all of the Russo Bros movies, where the awesome screenwriters never get the credit due).
The third movie is set to use a script written entirely by Gunn, so prepare for more Vol 2/ TSS style over indulgence.
