* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: ''Vol. 3'' is rated PG-13, just like almost every other MCU film. Typically, Marvel films don't have a lot of objectionable content and are considered safe for younger children accompanied by adults, but ''Vol. 3'' pushes that PG-13 rating to its limit. The film features disturbing scenes of animal cruelty, having the Marvel Cinematic Universe's first uncensored F-bomb, and more violence and killing than usual, as well as showing [[spoiler:the High Evolutionary's bloody, skinless mauled face in full detail]]. There's been plenty said by critics and those in the industry about the appropriateness of this film for younger audiences.

** Peter and Groot [[spoiler:murdering Theel by dragging him across the ground at high speed after tossing him from the high altitude base is extremely satisfying considering that he was one of the scientists who directly performed the horrific experiments on Rocket without remorse and acted like a SmugSnake when he mistakenly believed Peter and Groot were helpless and defeated.]]

* AwardSnub: Many were flummoxed that the only Oscar nomination the film received was for Best Visual Effects, while the film was ignored for any category relating to makeup, acting, or cinematography. In particular, many feel Creator/BradleyCooper or Creator/ChukwudiIwuji should've received nominations for Best Supporting Actor.

* AwardSnub: Many were flummoxed that the only Oscar nomination the film received was for Best Visual Effects, while but not for Best Makeup as the film set a world record for the most use of prosthetic makeup in a film (beating out ''Film/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas'' which previously held the record for over 20 years). Furthermore, the film was ignored for any category relating to makeup, writing, cinematography, or acting, or cinematography. In particular, with many feel viewers believing that either Creator/BradleyCooper or Creator/ChukwudiIwuji should've received nominations a nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

** [[spoiler: Was the High Evolutionary already planning to destroy Counter-Earth? Or was it Peter Quill's revelation that there were drug dealers on Counter-Earth that prompted him to do it?]]

* BrokenAesop: A bit towards the end as the whole movie tries to go for an animal rights message... only for the scene we see of Rocket's first day as captain being The Guardians killing a bunch of wild, non-sentient animals who don't know any better for being a nuisance to a village. This is actually discussed InUniverse.

* MisaimedMarketing: UsefulNotes/McDonalds released {{Kids Meal Toy}}s based on the movie, but its PG-13 rating, BodyHorror elements, and PrecisionFStrike make it unlikely that many of the toys’ recipients would actually be ''allowed'' to see the film in theaters.

** The image of a walrus [[spoiler:waving its flipper from the afterlife along side a cyborg rabbit is the kind of thing that sounds like it would be in an Adam Sandler film and be completely impossible to take seriously, and yet seeing Teefs and Floor happily beckoning their long lost friend allows an otherwise out of context goofy scene to be incredibly heartwarming and tearjerker-worthy]].

Just because scientific corporations aren't actively torturing animals in the current day doesn'tmean that it doesn't reflect what their practices used to be, and certainly doesn't make it any less disturbing.
