Very much all of this. The taser face was forced and unfunny. They drug it out way longer than it needed to as well.
I agree with the villain. It felt more like they were answering a question from vol. 1 rather than having a villain specific to that film. And I didn't feel like they set him up in the film enough for me to care that he was defeated. It felt more like the GotG was just trying to get out of a bind.

I loved the first film so maybe my expectations were a little high for this one but it was just average at best.

For the first 1.5 hr I really wondered what the movie was going to accomplish. It lacked direction. The last hour was solid and made sense but it just felt disconnected.
As for Nebula, I hadn't thought about that until you mentioned it, but she really did have an incredible arc.
