-Drax's infectious laughter through the whole movie. -Additionally Drax's continuous ineptitude for social interaction, especially with Mantis. -Gamora truly becoming Space Mum and suffering the whole time. -The entire family dynamics within the team and the fact romance was vaguely alluded to, but wasn't more important over family unlike most other hero movies. -Kraglin being the Best Boy!!! The purest character in the movie who deserves only good. -Groot being brilliant comedic relief, but ultimately also being a 3D character who pulls through in the end. -More trAGIC BACKSTORY FOR ALL!! -Nebula having the best redemption arc and the saddest reasoning behind it all. -#Let Gamora and Nebula hug more 2k17. -Also someone give Rocket more hugs because he suffers too much. Real revelation of his character and his scene with Yondu fuCK!! -Yondu = true dad and hero of the movie. -FUCK EGO AND HIS STUPID FUCKING ASS HE CAN BURN IN HELL FOR WHAT HE DID TO PETER!! -Movie should be renamed "The Incredibly Shitty and Horrendous Time in Peter Quill's Life". Let him rest. -The unabashed hints and references dropped. Every five seconds they references someone and it was amazing. -The soundtrack once more! -The reference they did to the first movie where Groot freezes while dancing when Drax sees him. -Groot. That's it. He was amazing. -Mantis and Drax's incredibly weird but endearing platonic relationship that I hope stays platonic forever because it's too good. -Someone must tell Mantis she's beautiful every day this girl needs it. -Teach Mantis to smile and love herself !!! -Big Sister Gamora must take Mantis under her wing and teach her not to take shit from anyone. -Dad Peter at the end with Groot. Takes after his dad Yondu. Next he'll threaten to eat Groot. -The inappropriately times jokes. There's so much more good parts to this movie but I've rambled on too long already. It must be watched!!

A work in progress
This has been something I've been concerned about for a long time. Not only are rocket emissions polluting our atmosphere, but residual space junk is starting to clog the space around our planet. Every tiny piece of metal and plastic that floats off into space can potentially destroy a future attempt to leave the planets surface. We are nailing our own coffin shut while trying to escape it. The universe is nature too! We need to try and keep it clean or else we will be as helpless as fish born into a polluted pond. We're already poisoning our planet, can we not poison space too?
Satellite space junk is polluting the stratosphere as disintegrating satellites release metals like aluminium and nitrogen oxides during re-entry. Studies show 10% of stratospheric aerosols now contain these metals, with emissions rising sharply - 3.3 billion grams in 2020 to 5.6 billion grams in 2022. Rocket launches further add pollutants like black carbon and chlorine gases, threatening ozone.
Japanese company Space One has been in the news recently for their second attempt at launching their rocket, Kairos - for Kii-based Advanced & Instant ROcket System; as far as acronyms go, I'd give it a 5/10, it's rather long-winded but has some good ideas at the right moments. The rocket, designed to be a cheaper option for lighter satellites, unfortunately didn't make it into orbit, losing control after 95 seconds.
The launch site is located on the North-East edge of Kushimoto, Honshû's southernmost city, its entrance building visible from the railway line. The action area is further into the woods, by the coast. I didn't visit the site obviously, but the entrance and some support posters in Kushimoto town were hints of the project's presence. They have a neat little mascot too, a space puppy!

ENG || One of the things I miss the most these days is nature. Although I’ve my little plants on the balcony, they pale in comparison to the green fields full of flowers and bees. I’ve to admit that, every day, one of the moments that make me smile is when I see a neighbor's cat sharing a hobby with me: observe the birds while they eat medlars of a street’s tree. What a pity that this past week they have finished them all! Now I’ll only be able to read about them, draw and dream them ... Detail of the illustration "travel by reading" full of birds, eternal travelers without suitcases.🌻
ESP || Una de las cosas que más echo de menos estos días es la naturaleza. Aunque tengo mis plantitas en la terraza, estas palidecen en comparación con los campos verdes llenos de flores y abejas. Tengo que reconocer que, cada día ,uno de los momentos que me sacan una sonrisa es cuando veo al gato de unos vecinos compartiendo una afición conmigo: observar los pájaros que se comen los nísperos de un árbol de la calle. Que lástima que esta pasada semana se los hayan terminado absolutamente todos! Ahora solo me quedará leer sobre ellos, dibujarlos y soñarlos... Detalle de la ilustración “viajar leyendo” repleta de pájaros, eternos viajantes sin maleta.🌻
CAT || Una de les coses que més trobo a faltar aquests dies és la natura. Tot i que tinc les meves plantetes a la terrassa, aquestes no són res en comparació amb els camps verds plens de flors i abelles. He de reconèixer que, cada dia, un dels moments que em treuen un somriure és quan veig el gat d'uns veïns compartint una afició amb mi: observar els ocells que es mengen les nespres d'un arbre del carrer. Quina llàstima que aquesta setmana passada se'ls hagin acabat absolutament tots! Ara només em queda llegir sobre ells, dibuixar-los i somiar-los ... Detall de la il·lustració "viatjar llegint" plena d'ocells, eterns viatjants sense maleta.🌻

I don’t remember most of the ‘minor’ scenes in Endgame cause I was too busy crying so hard to see them.
New vanity fair cover for MCU 10 year anniversary
A subjective review with personal opinions, minor minor spoilers - AMAZING MUSIC - Damn Chris Pratt was fabulous at every scene. The story really focused on his character’s back story and I was quite fine with that as that was expected from the last movie - Zoe Saldana was also flawless and I loved how Gamora had deeper story line with her sister, Nebula. It was interesting to hear their backstory little more and with Thanos mainly associated with it. Also I like her character more than I did in the last movie. The Starlord/Gamora dinamic was also nice too watch - As always, Drax was more of a comic relief and I hoped they make him stronger in the movie like in the comics to beat Thanos. He had great chemistry with Mantis too - I feel like Rocket had quite a lot of screen time and I really loved his action scenes and his gadgets. Really pointed out his character - Groot actually didn’t do much but WHO GIVES A FUCK HE’S FUCKING ADORABLE. Everytime he was on screen I couldn’t stop smiling. I also loved ho the other members parented him and took care of him with love - Mantis was so adorable and innocent baby with low self esteem and I’m looking forward to see her more in the next movie - I love Yondu SOOOOO much like, PETER BE GOOD WITH YOUR UNCLE/DADDY/CAPTAIN WHATEVER god he was fucking amazing in this movie - Kurt Russel was great as Ego, and I liked how they CGIed the Ego planet - There was a bit of a slow pacing scene in the middle - Also few jokes that you’d only get if you are familiar with 1980’s American culture like in the last movie, but it was bearable - I liked the overall story line - If you’re a comic book reader there were scenes that make you go HUH????? WHAT???? Also Easter eggs during and after the movie It was a 8/10 movie for me. Gags, angst, comedy, drama, romance, and fantasy were all in there and I’ll be looking forward for the next one!
