* RealitySubtext: The BigBad of this movie is a CorruptCorporateExecutive who mistreats his creations, throws them away when they're no longer useful to him, and wants Rocket alive because he was so helpful to him and all of his other underlings couldn't give him good ideas. While this movie was written ''before'' Gunn was fired by Disney, and left mostly unchanged after he returned to finish the trilogy, many people have noted how eerily the story reflects what happened in the interim.

*** Creator/TaikaWaititi was considered as a director due to the success and similar tone of [[Film/ThorRagnarok his previous MCU outing]], but Waititi refused to take the reins, due to believing the characters weren't his to control.

* SleeperHit: The film came out during a period of time where everyone started noticing "superhero fatigue" among audiences, attributed to the box office failures of ''Film/AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania'' and ''Film/ShazamFuryOfTheGods'', so hope for this movie's performance began to die down after a dissapointing domestic opening weekend. However, strong word-of-mouth led to the film having a drop of only 48% in its second weekend, the best second-weekend hold for any MCU film. The film eventually had an incredibly successful run and becoming the fourth-highest grossing film of 2023. It also became, by industry analysts, the only film of 2023 with a budget of over $200 million to break-even during its theatrical run.
