There wasn’t anything subtle about "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" and that’s kind of what made it so glorious. It was excessive in all the best, most colorful ways. So it makes sense that there were no fewer than five (!) post-credits sequences at the end of the movie, and that’s not counting the weird footage of Jeff Goldblum dancing to a Guardians-themed disco song.
Apologies in advance if I’m getting the order of these wrong. But they were: Kraglin (Sean Gunn) trying to take up Yondu’s flying arrow and accidentally stabbing Drax (Dave Bautista) in the neck; Ravager leader Stakar aka Starhawk (Sylvester Stallone) reuniting with Martinex (Michael Rosenbaum), Charlie-27 (Ving Rhames), Krugarr (that cool alien), Aleta Ogord (Michelle Yeoh) and Mainframe (voiced by Miley Cyrus), more or less comprising the lineup of the original 1975 Guardians of the Galaxy; Ayesha (Elizabeth Debicki) announcing that a new foe for the Guardians has been developed, hinting at the arrival of big bad Adam Warlock to the MCU; adolescent Groot refusing to pick up his room despite Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) begging him, and then finally a sequence where Stan Lee is sitting on a planet talking to the omniscient Marvel beings The Watchers, explaining his cameos in all of the different MCU movies (very funny).
What’s great about these tags is that they extend the madcap fun of "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" while also sprinkling in some genuine bombshells for where the series will go (writer-director James Gunn is already working on "Vol. 3"). Like the rest of the movie, these are a total hoot.
