Guardians Of The Galaxy 2 Intro Song

Okay, let's talk about something potentially controversial. Something that might make you clutch your Walkman in disbelief. We need to address the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 intro song.

I know, I know. Deep breaths. Everyone LOVES that intro. But... does it *really* deserve all the hype?

The "Awesome Mix Vol. 2" Hype Machine

The first Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack was a cultural phenomenon. It launched Blue Swede into the stratosphere again. It made us all appreciate 70s bops like never before. And we all expected the same magic from Volume 2, right?

Then came "Mr. Blue Sky" by Electric Light Orchestra (ELO). The scene is amazing: Baby Groot dancing, oblivious to the battle. It's visually stunning.

But... the song. Is it just me, or is it... overrated?

Hear Me Out: It's a Good Song... But...

Don't get me wrong, "Mr. Blue Sky" is catchy. It's undeniably peppy and upbeat. It's the kind of song that makes you want to skip through a field of daisies.

But is it *perfect* for that scene? Is it the *ultimate* intro song? I'm not so sure.

Think about the original Awesome Mix. Every song felt hand-picked. Each track resonated perfectly with the characters and the story. They all told a story.

"Mr. Blue Sky" feels... almost too obvious? Too on the nose?

Unpopular Opinion Incoming!

Here's where I brace for impact. I think "Mr. Blue Sky" is a LITTLE too saccharine. I think its a good song but, it lacks the raw energy of some other Awesome Mix choices.

It's like they picked the happiest, most conventionally upbeat song they could find. It works, but it could have been so much more. The dancing Groot is what we loved!

Remember "Come and Get Your Love"? That was a quirky, slightly weird, and utterly perfect choice. Think about Redbone.

The "What If?" Game

What if they'd gone with something a little more unexpected? What if they'd chosen a slightly darker, more introspective song to contrast with the chaotic battle? Maybe something by David Bowie?

Think of the possibilities! A song that hinted at Ego's looming presence. A song that foreshadowed the emotional rollercoaster to come.

Or maybe a killer Queen song to kick things up a notch? Something with a bit more bite?

In Conclusion: Still a Good Intro, But...

Look, I'm not saying "Mr. Blue Sky" is a *bad* song. It's far from it! And the scene itself is fantastic. The visual of baby Groot dancing is amazing!

I'm just saying... maybe, just maybe, it's not the masterpiece everyone claims it to be. Maybe it's a slightly overrated piece of the Guardians puzzle.

So, let the debate begin! Am I totally off base? Or are there others out there who secretly feel the same way? Let me know!

But please, be gentle. My Zune is ready for all the hate comments.
