imo the final cast pic is awesome but it rings hollow to use it as a huge win for Gamora because the film isn't more inclusive of her family history with the guardians. Groot died for something he believed in and his legacy got to live on with his son being raised and loved by the people he saved. Yondu gave up his life for Peter and he got a funeral, holiday special flashback and brief moment in vol 3 showing he's spiritually guiding someone he cared about. Gamora got murdered and instead of her legacy getting to continue with her past self becoming a guardian or getting to know and be loved by them, vol 3 plays it off like she was never family to anyone but Peter and Nebula and tries hard to bury her contributions to the guardians. Also her arc was becoming a family member of a group of thieves whose mission is the complete opposite of everything she believed in. She's given the storyline left behind by Peter as he became a healthier, more well rounded and fulfilled person.

How cruel is it that the words "I would be grateful to die among my friends" and "whatever nightmares the future holds will be dreams compared to what's behind me" were written as profound statements said by Gamora's during vol 1 and then it was decided to do the exact opposite for her in IW. It's messed up to bring her back and instead of giving her the best arc and going above and beyond to see her get more from life than what she had with Thanos, she was given the bare minimum that Peter and Kraglin were deemed too good to be tossed back into.
