10 Most Jaw-Dropping Shots In MCU History
10. Guardians Of The Galaxy: Vol. 2 - Yondu's Funeral
For a franchise with a lot of emotional weight to its name, the MCU boasts a surprisingly low death count. Though things have changed for most of our favorite heroes towards the end of the Infinity Saga, even the most minor of characters found their way to the end of their respective movies. However, when someone does end up departing from the team, it requires a send off for the ages.
Across both Guardians of the Galaxy movies, Yondu was always known as the reluctant caregiver to Peter Quill, but his final moments are some of the noblest in the franchise. While on a mission to help the Guardians escape the clutches of Ego, Yondu uses his final moments to protect Quill, who he has looked at as a son for the past few movies.
The scene of Yondu succumbing to the vacuum of space is hard enough, but the real beauty comes in the final shot of his funeral. As his remains are scattered throughout space, we see all of the other ravagers making their way to pay tribute to their fallen comrade.
Yondu certainly wasn't a saint throughout the entirety of the series, but this single shot shows that even the most broken of people can be redeemed.
