Since no one has mentioned kids-in-mind.com yet, I appreciate the level of detail while still remaining as spoiler-free as possible. I've had that bookmarked since 2014, when my wife and I went on the first date away from our newborn son to go see a movie.

We figured we'd see some mindless action-comedy that was getting great reviews, and we had been loving the MCU movies so far. We got my parents to babysit, set up the remote babycam so we could watch him nap, and made sure our phones would vibrate strong enough to get our attention without disturbing people, in the event of an emergency. Parents will understand, you can go a little crazy with your first kid.

I even checked to see if any dogs die, because my wife was still in the post-partum emotional phase. The dog survives, yay!

So off we went to see Guardians of the Galaxy.

If you haven't seen it (or don't remember), the very first scene is an emotional death of the main character's mother in the hospital. She's dying of cancer, and he refuses to hold her hand as she passes. Then he runs away from the grandfather who promised to raise him in her absense, and is immediately abducted by aliens.

Credit to my wife, she managed to remain silent while ugly crying, and insisted we stay to watch the rest of the movie when I offered to take her home.
