BRAN'S GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY: VOL. 2 SYNOPSIS

It's Missouri in 1980. Peter's father Ego visited Earth and fell in love with Peter's mother and they wanna get married! 

Fast forward to the present and the gang's all here. Peter Quill, Gamora, Drax, Rocket, and literal toddler Baby Groot. The GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY! 

They take a job from gold lady Ayesha to protect some batteries from a space squid monster, which they do, in exchange for Gamora's sister. But then Rocket immediately steals those same batteries because of course he does. CLASSIC Rocket.

This leads to an all-out attack, a crash landing into a ship planet thing that just kind of appears, and the arrival of a mysterious shirtless dad: Ego. Surprise! He’s Quill’s father. 

Ego invites Quill, Gamora, and Drax to his planet, while Rocket and Groot stay behind with Nebula to keep an eye on her.

Peter and Ego hash things out. He explains why he wasn't around but says he wants to be the father he always hoped to be now. 

Meanwhile, blue whistle boy Yondu is hired to track them down. Things go sideways FAST when Yondu refuses not to give up Quill location. He ends up being imprisoned with Rocket and Groot, but they escape with some wild arrow work. Back on Planet Daddy Issues, Ego reveals he’s basically a god who’s been planting himself all over the universe (red flag), having kids everywhere (bigger red flag), and murdering them when they don’t have powers (biggest red flag). 

Oh, and he casually admits he gave Quill’s mom a brain tumor. Cool cool cool.

Quill snaps, the team reunites, and it becomes a full-on “let’s destroy dad” situation.

They head to Ego’s literal brain at the planet’s core, plant a bomb. The bomb goes off, Ego is toast, and Quill loses his powers in the process.

But the emotional gut punch? Yondu sacrifices himself to save Quill, proving he was his real dad all along. we cry. You cry. Everyone cries.

 the Ravagers show up to give Yondu the send-off he deserved all along. And we get a thousand mid credit scenes and none of them matter.
