Several dark, brutal, and upsetting scenes throughout, including some heavily disturbing, discomforting, and thematic, however it should be noted that all of this is heavily implied and not shown.
Sequences of animal abuse/testing.
Rocket's past is extremely upsetting and dark and very sad.
Some of the aliens can look weird and slightly scary.
Lots of intense, sad breakdowns throughout the movie
While largely a comedy, there are many extremely sad elements and horrible flashbacks which may be upsetting to watch. The darkest film in the series.
Many instances of animal abuse, some being extended and detailed. May be difficult to watch. Especially for animal lovers.
The main villain, The High Evolutionary, is an extremely cruel and unforgiving individual who brutally tortures animals and conducts deadly experiments on them. As such, his barbaric demeanor and intimidating nature can be very disturbing.
The extended climactic ending is quite intense.
The skin of a man's face is peeled off, very gory and frightening to some viewers.
Easily one of the darkest MCU films to date.
A bad guy shouts at people all the time and it's stress inducing.
One of the most poignant/dark marvel films.
Pretty bold/adventurous movie.
Rocket has an intense tantrum towards the high evolutionary, scratching and beating him due to him killing one of his friends, a robot seals yells at him to stop, but ends up killing him, but also his friends by accident.
Nothing remotely bad or offensive, just this marvel movie is pretty sad.
This movie deals with animal cruelty.
