I assume the scale of the funeral is based on rank, so, like, if a crewmember dies, their crew does the fireworks, if a captain dies, all the captains do the fireworks. Or maybe it’s not supposed to be EVERYONE and Yondu just got a huge funeral because he stopped all of reality from being covered in Ego lava? That’s the sort of thing I think warrents a huge funeral. (Also: it’s possible ALL Ravagers aren’t amoral bloodthirsty dicks, Yondu and co just set a bad example.) -wackd

That does make a lot of sense yes!

I prefer my pirates, space or otherwise, to at least have some sort of a code/honour among thieves, so I guess Yondu’s crew were the anomaly of the Ravagers because he’d already been exiled and no-one else would work for him apart from assholes like Taserface? (I think. If I’ve got the timeframe right.)

On reflection though I think the fireworks were worth it just to see Mantis’s reaction. She’d probably never seen something like that before! ;-;
