** Gamora not getting a single line in the teaser trailer got some fans' hackles up given the general issues the MCU has had with its female characters. Others urged them to just wait and see, as it's only a teaser with limited time for its relatively large cast, and that Gamora is TheStraightMan among the cast whose character doesn't lend itself well to quippy trailer sound-bites. Fortunately, the next trailer gave her more to say.

This look more like Broken Base


* BrokenBase: Minor one, but there are some fans who like Mantis' look for hearkening back to her original appearance in the comics, while other are disappointed because they were expecting her to have green skin like she did in the ''Guardians of the Galaxy'' run that the films are partially based on. This was even {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d at Comic-Con when one of the Ravagers onstage shouted "[=#NotMyMantis=]!"

Broader wording


* ToughActToFollow: Not only is the movie a direct sequel to the first ''Guardians of the Galaxy'', which is considered by many fans to be one of the best installments of the MCU, but it's the first film being released after both ''Captain America: Civil War'' and ''Doctor Strange'' which were both critically acclaimed. It would be an understatement to say that there's a lot of hype for this one, and a lot of fans are worried that it won't be able to live up to all of it. Downplayed for viewers who consider ''Doctor Strange'' good, but not one of Marvel's best.

Moved the Executive Meddling entry to the Trivia page. Last time I checked, Executive Meddling isn't a YMMV trope.


* ExecutiveMeddling: Fox owned Ego The Living Planet, due to his heavy links with Fantastic Four, and could use him freely, but James Gunn's pitch script for Volume 2 had Peter Quill's father be Ego. However, in a trading deal as audacious as OswaldTheLuckyRabbit, Marvel traded a planet for Fox to gain extra creative veto on the Deadpool film franchise, and James Gunn got his planet.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: A minor one. Several fans, and James Gunn himself, felt that Nebula was underused in the previous film, which slightly upset fans that saw her as one of the most interesting and [[JerkassWoobie surprisingly sympathetic characters]]. Not only will she have more screen time in ''Vol. 2'', she will also ''[[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor (apparently)]]'' join the team.

** The casting of the half-Korean Pom Klementieff as Mantis (coupled with the decision to keep her natural skin tone) can be seen as a response to criticism about Gamora being the only leading lady in the MCU films played by a woman of color, and she's covered in green makeup.
