Everything Yondu, he was so awesome in this movie from taking out the entire Ravager crew single-handedly to his heart to heart with Rocket to "I'M MARY POPPINS Y'ALL!" to sacrificing himself for Peter. And then the Ravager salute to him at the end, man what an ending, it was so emotional and visually gorgeous.
Baby Groot was adorable and I think he was used just the right amount, any more and it would have been too much. I loved it when he kept bringing back the wrong stuff when he was supposed to be stealing Yondu's spare fin.

t: And his interaction with Drax was really funny. "Smaller, dumber Groot"
Drax was hilarious and I loved his interaction with Mantis who herself is a good addition to the team, she has chemistry with the other actors and I'm looking forward to seeing her again.
Kurt Russell is an absolute beast as Ego, I think he was a really great villain. I liked the fact that his actions were absolutely monstrous, but being an immortal Celestial who has existed for millions of years in solitude, he's so far removed from the idea of right and wrong that you almost can't judge him by the same standards. An interesting character and a great performance.
The only thing I'm slightly disappointed about was Ayesha. She was kinda advertised as being the main villain of this movie but she ended up as a minor antagonist at best that had about 10 minutes of screentime overall. I liked what we got (I love Debicki and Ayesha was a fun character) but I can't help but wish we got more. Oh well, at least it looks like she'll be back, and we've still got Hela as our first kickass primary female MCU villain later this year.
