With the Guardians of the Galaxy returning in Thor: Love and Thunder - set to hit screens on July 8, 2022 - MCU fans are wondering whether or not Gamora will make a surprise cameo somewhere in the film. Ever since Avengers: Endgame saw a past version of Gamora disappearing, her future within the MCU has been up for speculation.
Gamora has certainly had a tumultuous journey in the MCU thus far; she has gone from Thanos' daughter to an integral part of the Guardians team, and from a soul stone sacrifice to being pulled out of time. Although her future remains a mystery, Gamora's time in the MCU has still been celebrated with many memes.
After Loki and Thor, Nebula and Gamora have one of the best sibling relationships within the MCU. Despite starting their journey off on rocky terms, the two grow to become close sisters and Gamora's relationship with Nebula is one of the most important ones throughout her journey.
Even with a unique upbringing, the two manage to embody normal sibling dynamics. This meme shared by Redditor AbelHagen highlights the fact that, at the end of the day, Gamora will always play the role of the older sister.
A large part of Gamora's story arc in the MCU is the fact that she is Thanos' daughter. Having adopted her at a young age, Thanos trained Gamora, hoping to one day have her be the successor to his throne. Although misguided, Thanos does genuinely care for Gamora and loves her, as audiences saw in Infinity War.
This meme, shared by Redditor sn0rk95, captures their complicated relationship quite well: although Thanos is the big, tough villain to others, with green Gamora, he believes himself to be a soft dad, while she only sees him as a giant purple monster.
As noted by @marvelmantra, Gamora has had a very tragic past. Having been forcefully separated from her people, witnessed the massacre of her home planet, and living under the wing of a wicked man bent upon destroying half the universe - it's safe to say that she has been put through the wringer many times.
Despite this, she - like many other heroes in the MCU - keeps persevering and doing her best to fight for others and the world.
Gamora has always been a very guarded individual. This is partly why it took her so long to warm up to Quill, giving way to one of the funniest quotes in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. Luckily, by Infinity War, their relationship had begun to finally develop into something concrete, and the blossoming love formed a large part of her story.
Unfortunately, now that present Gamora has died and past Gamora has subbed in, the pair will be back at square one now, as showcased in this meme shared by Redditor YourTypicalAsianGuy.
Part of Gamora's initial charm is her too-cool-to-care attitude and overall indifference toward anything she doesn't deem worthy of her attention. Although she does warm up to the rest of the Guardians quite quickly, she still remains hesitant and untrustworthy toward most.
With the old Gamora back, a lot of her character development and openness have regressed back to her original standoffishness, as emphasized in the meme shared by Reddit user qerkin14.
Amongst many unpopular opinions about Gamora is the one that she deserved to die in one of the most heartbreaking scenes in the MCU. Although her death is undeniably tragic in Infinity War, it has also been adapted into memes (such as this one shared by @adrian.enterprise).
This meme highlights Gamora's depth as a character; she is considered dispensable not only by her father but also by a handful of fans - a tell-tale sign of the complexity and grey areas behind her character arc.
Gamora is one of the most skilled warriors in the galaxy. While this is one of the many things about Gamora comic books fans will know, it is something MCU fans have not yet seen too much on-screen.
It has however been mentioned here and there and showcased in a handful of scenes. And when it is shown, viewers are reminded of her amazing fight skills and just how absolutely powerful and talented Gamora is, as shown in this meme by @starkstiel.
Given Gamora's tragic past and complicated family dynamics, it's not hard to see why she would be hesitant to open herself up to the idea of love with Quill.
Although the two do eventually come together, a large part of their first two movies is Gamora rejecting Quill's advances, as shown by @blushyyoon. It takes a lot for her to finally admit the unspoken thing between them, but when she does they become one of the best ships in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies.
The Guardians are not an easy bunch to take care of and survive with. Although they all have their unique skills and abilities, they can be very impulsive, frustrating, and overall chaotic.
This is why Gamora has unofficially become the mom of the group, as accurately shown by @queenBevMarsh. From nurturing Groot to keeping everyone else in line, Gamora helps the crew stay solid and together and is an integral part of their family. Hopefully, fans get to see much more of her again in upcoming MCU releases.
While Gamora's future storylines and appearances remain speculated, here are some memes that sum up her character in the MCU!Ashvaria Rai
