Now that James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has premiered, now’s a good time to rank all the characters in their final tour together.
After a long and winding journey, Marvel Studios has finally released James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. This highly-anticipated film follows the Guardians as they face off against the Rocket’s creator, the High Evolutionary, in their darkest but most beautiful adventure yet.
Since this seems to be the last time we’ll see the Guardians together, now’s a good time to rank all the characters who rocked cinemas in their final tour.
Please note: there are major spoilers for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in this article.13. Ayesha
The Sovereign empress returns to exact vengeance on the Guardians with the help of Adam Warlock and the High Evolutionary. But it is revealed that she and her people were created by the High Evolutionary, and she becomes more subservient in his presence.
Though she was dead-set on killing the Guardians out of spite in the second film, she now pursues them with Adam to protect her race from the Evolutionary’s wrath. But she remains as callous as ever as she scolds Adam like a bad pageant mom, so it doesn’t come as much of a pity when she finally bites the dust.12. Cosmo the Spacedog
This dog gained psychic powers after being launched into space by the Soviet Union, and she was seen working with the Guardians on Knowhere in their Holiday Special.
But even with her amazing abilities, Cosmo has shown herself to be very insecure, as she repeatedly insists that Kraglin not call her a “bad dog.” But who could stay mad at this adorable dog? Certainly not Kraglin.11. Kraglin
Though it’s been 10 years since he inherited Yondu’s arrow, Kraglin still has trouble controlling it when the film begins. But in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Kraglin still gets the chance to shine as he masters his arrow thanks to some encouraging words from Yondu himself.
And with that, he defends the people of Knowhere from the Evolutionary’s Hellspawn, making for a well-deserved triumph for a small but underrated character.10. Adam Warlock
After years of waiting, fans can finally see Adam Warlock light up the MCU as he is sent by Ayesha to capture Rocket. Since he was only recently born, this golden boy doesn’t quite understand the world that well and acts unruly in the presence of Ayesha and the Evolutionary.
But beneath his violent exterior lies a childlike innocence that gradually grows throughout the film after finding a furry little pet to call his friend. However, after Groot saves his life, Adam fully achieves the quality of mercy and rescues Quill from the cold vacuum of space. He then uses his second chance at life to protect the galaxy as a member of the Guardians.
