15 Best Acted Scenes In MCU Movies

6. Yondu's Goodbye - Guardians Of The Galaxy 2

As a villain in the film previous, it’s common sense for people to not expect him to become a straight-up hero in Guardians 2 – let alone the hero with the single most emotional scene in the whole film.

Not getting at least a little teary at Yondu’s heartfelt goodbye to his son should be a cardinal sin, because Michael Rooker nailed it in ways a man painted head to toe in blue shouldn’t be able to. It’s the perfect end to his redemption arc – and to the makeup of a good portion of any cinema viewing it.

Moral messages in films can turn heavy-handed in the blink of an eye, yet the simple one put forward by Guardians 2 – that your family is who you want your family to be – is a pretty damn meaningful one.
