Why? Guardians 3 so emotional?

Gunn said that the special was written over three days. He made the special about people. That’s why there’s no big villain in it, although a previous draft had one.

He also mentioned that the writer/director probably wrote the special Guardians 3 concurrently. That’s where he dropped the “emotional” bomb.

“In all honesty, I wrote the special in three days,” Gunn spoke. “Literally, there were no notes from Marvel and nothing changed except for that I occasionally add things while we’re shooting. It was really easy and it stayed easy throughout and that was great because Vol. 3 is actually very emotional.”

He continued, “We shot them both simultaneously, so shooting Vol. 3 for a few days, which was tough going, and then having a day off to shoot this show was fun. Because the stakes on this were low. It was just goofy. One thing that’s cool about it is there’s no bad guy in this one. There haven’t been any Marvel stories that I can remember where there hasn’t been a bad guy of some type.”

Gunn said that the best escape is from the special Vol. 3. The stakes in the sequel are much greater than those of the first movies. Therefore, the comedy special served as a palate cleanser.
