Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2 Final Trailer: 10 Things You Probably Missed

3. That Fast & Furious Rib

Near the end of the trailer, an exasperated Nebula tells the Guardians, "All you do is yell at each other, you're not friends", to which Drax replies, "No, we're family...except maybe her", referring to Nebula.

This is quite clearly intended as a thinly-veiled rib of the Fast and the Furious franchise, which has made such egregious use of the word "family" it's basically lost all meaning in blockbuster cinema.

At first this seems like it's going to be a syrupy sentiment in the same vein as that series, but in true Guardians fashion, Drax bluntly and hilariously subverts it by saying that Nebula doesn't belong.
