“Guardians of the Galaxy” has always thumbed its nose at convention, cannily corralling leftover comic book characters. Instead the writer/director has turned the most mirthful of MCU properties into the most meaningful of bonding experiences - “Let’s go save our friend!” is the battle cry - where even supposed villains can join in a group hug. He could have made this trilogy capper another comic romp like the first two volumes. James Gunn, the anarchistic creator of the smart-ass “Guardians of the Galaxy” franchise, wouldn’t have it any other way. It says something about the current state of superhero movies that the fate of a small frightened raccoon makes a stronger tug on the heart than any imperilled person or planet in the relentless Marvel Cinematic Universe.
