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. While the first GOTG movie had a light, humorous tone, it still took itself seriously. GOTG2 and TSS have this trippy, wacky, almost irreverent feel to it that makes them a few clicks short of a parody. Not quite but almost. It's the same issue that Deadpool2 had. So yeah, I'd hate for GOTG3 to go the same route. Not that GOTG2 and TSS were bad movies, far from it, but they certainly weren't as good as the reviews are saying and definitely nowhere near as good as the first GOTG. The trippy surrealism is actually something I could get behind. But the excessive and often unfunny humor is what ruined Vol 2 for me. Drax was a real character in the first movie. After that, he’s just there for “dumb guy” jokes. But the real downside is that Gunn unleashed allows his mean spirited demented side to take over. I’m honestly surprised that so many people found The Suicide Squad to be funny. It did have its moments, but it’s also twisted AF and incredibly immature- like a screenplay by an edge lord middle school kid.
