James Gunn, the director, has explicitly stated that the Guardians are a commentary on modern families. "We don’t choose our family," the films argue. "But if we’re lucky, we find people who are just as damaged as we are, and we build a home in the wreckage."

Today’s films are offering something far more honest, messy, and beautiful—a reflection of what real blended families actually look like.
