Guardians of The Galaxy content.

Worse is the puerile, tacky humour.

To me he is describing Science Fiction vs Science Fantasy. With Science Fiction the science pushes the plot along. Where as Science Fantasy the science isn't important, it's just the backdrop of the plot. Both are valid genres of fiction. It doesn't make one better than the other. Guardians of the Galaxy is Science Fantasy. We get vague explanations of the science involved, but it's not important to the plot. We don't know why Rocket needs a Quarnyx Battery to break out of prison he just does. We don't know how the ships are powered or what they mean by jumps to go long distances. It's not important.

To each their own. I think that the Star Wars Prequel suffered from them trying to explain too much. It went toward Science Fiction. The originals were vague about almost everything. The Force is energy field created by life.  The Empire wasn't really explained what it actually was. The Empire was the antagonists and the rebels were the protagonist. We get a line that the Senate is abolished and Governors are taking over.  Darth Vader is part machine we don't know why or how. The Jedi are vaguely described.

Then the prequels come along and we get a class in Space politics, federation trade routes, midichlorians, senate meetings, .jedi council meetings, origin of clones and the double cross of the Separatist Confederacy of Independent Systems etc.

Some times leaving shit vague and part of the background is better... I think Guardians would of suffered if it was more hard Science Fiction then Science Fantasy. 

How can Gamora survive being in outer space with no protective gear. Rocket even tells Quill hell die in seconds if he takes off the mask. Yet both are fully alive to do that stupid dance off at the end.

It goes against basic physics and biology.

A human will lose consciousness in a few seconds ... and actually expire after a few minutes. Gamora isn’t human, so her mileage probably varied a bit.

I hope that cleared things up for you.

Right. Because he explained how the T1000 was able to do what it did in great detail right? Or maybe he explained how the Navi were able to do their hair-to-hair virtual hookup? Or maybe he explained why Rose didn't just move a few inches to the side of that floating door to give Jack some room.

Rocket also said that her body mods would give her extra time. I am fixing to go full nerd.... the scene:


Rocket: "Quill come on. Her body mods should keep her alive a couple more minutes but there is nothing we can do for her. These pods aren't meant to be out here. In a second we are going to be in the same boat."



Starlord: "Damn it"



Rocket: "Quill?"



Starlord: "Youndo, Youndo. This is Quill. My coordinates are..."


Rocket: "Quill! Quill what are you doing."



Starlord: "Just outside of Knowwhere. If you are there come get me.I'm all yours."



Rocket: "Quill don't be ridiculous. Get back into your pod. You can't fit two people in there you are going to die. You will die in seconds."



He takes off his mask. It took less that 2 minutes for him to get to her. He puts the mask on her. She starts to breath. It takes like 40 secs for him to be put on the ship. According to Because Science from Nerdist youtube channel the human body can last that long.

from the video : Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 hits theaters this week, but we answer an important question from the first one, could Star-Lord really survive in space without any protection? Kyle has the good, the bad, and a little bit of both on this week's Because Science!

Before you die you have 15 uncomfortable seconds of useful consciousness then you go unconscious and you die minutes after.  So based on the shot and evidence in the scene and dialogue  it works. Her body mods kept her alive long enough to get Quill out there. Then he puts the mask on her. She starts to breath. He is conscious for 15-20 seconds then gets pulled into ship. He has normal atmosphere within the safe zone before he dies. It relies heavily on expositional dialogue but its there. So no it doesn't go against basic physics and biology.


If you want to watch it... Because Science is an awesome nerdy channel. 

The only thing it gets wrong is after he goes unconscious around 15-20 secs. He would bloat a bit, but the skin is strong enough to hold in the pressure. All the air in his lungs would come out, all the food in his stomach would come out his mouth. All the waste in his bladder would be pulled out. All the food in his small intestines would be pulled out north or south which ever is closest and all the shit in his colon would be pulled out. They may have lost a memorable scene if they portrayed that before he is pulled into the ship. Hell it even got the water freezing on his skin. There was an Astronaut in a vacuum chamber who's suit malfunctioned. He passed out around 30secs and was revived with in 2 min. So technically the body mods weren't fully needed. She was in the safe zone too. The last thing the Astronaut felt as he was going out was the saliva on his tongue boiling off but also cold.  

It is a downfall ronan get beat by dancing.
