Not only that, but it helps tell the story of young Quill and Yondu perfectly. Between Fairytale, which I've sung every year since 2014 -- and The Old 97s, of which I used as a basis for a reception setlist, gotta say I'm really happy with the way the music turned out here.

And even moreso that Gunn did a ton better acknowledging how normal people would react to a spaceship post-Thanos than Taika did.
