Ego explains who he is and how he met Peter’s mother-which will take on a sinister meaning later, but at this point is not a turning point that emphasizes the antagonistic force. However, he doesn’t yet have any idea that Ego is a threat. He arrives on Ego’s planet, effectively completing the First Plot Point by entering the Adventure World of the Second Act. In Peter’s plotline, there isn’t really much of a pinch at all. The only true pinch at this point in the story is Yondu’s loyal crew members being ejected into space-which raises the stakes for what happens to Rocket (and Yondu-although viewers haven’t yet been given a true reason to care about him). Peter’s only goal is to learn about Ego the only nominal obstacle to that goal is Gamora’s insistence there’s something creepy about Ego.
Peter’s plotline with his dad is definitively the main conflict and yet because of Ego’s incognito facade as a “nice guy” for most of the movie, there isn’t much conflict. It has a ton going on (Peter’s relationship with his dad, Rocket and Yondu trying to escape, Nebula coming after Gamora, Mantis hinting to Drax that something deeply sinister is really going on, the Sovereign out for vengeance), but the plotlines don’t tie together seamlessly. It grazes over its Pinch Points and Midpoint, but it becomes increasingly busy and scattered between its two plotlines (Peter’s and Rocket’s). Meanwhile, Rocket and Baby Groot stay behind to repair the ship and are captured when Yondu’s crew mutinies and Gamora’s vendetta-driven sister Nebula takes over.įirst Pinch Point: And… this is where the structure largely falls apart. At Gamora’s urging, Peter takes her and Drax with him to visit Ego’s home planet (which Ego himself created).
Meanwhile, protagonist Peter Quill’s old boss Yondu (who has been kicked out of the Ravagers for trafficking in children) is hired by the Sovereign to fulfill their bounty on the Guardians.įirst Plot Point: After crashing their ship, Peter and the other Guardians meet Ego-who reveals himself as the father Peter never met (this is the Key Event). This man (Ego) will drive the main conflict, ergo his appearance is the first brush with that conflict. Inciting Event: After Rocket steals the Sovereign people’s priceless batteries, the Guardians are saved by a mysterious man riding his own spaceship.
