So uh, minor detail in the first gotg
Yondu calls Peter and mentions how he “slaves away” for Peter and Peter responds by mocking his use of the word “slave” as if he thinks Yondu doesn’t know what it means
Oh boy…
Yondu Udonta: I slaved putting this deal together…
Peter Quill: Slaved? Making a few calls is “slaved”?oh SHIT
The context of this appears to be lost on me.
Yondu reveals he was sold into slavery as a small child in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2.
This just makes me think about what the pair of them are really saying to each other in this scene, with the added context of GOTG2. Yondu’s an old man but he’s never gotten over being made a slave, you never would. I was a slave for twenty years and NOW I’m close to the score of a lifetime and you’re taking it from me? After all the shit I’ve been through? seems like the undercurrent there, but he probably never told Peter he was once a slave, I like to think he did but he probably didn’t. So there’s Peter, biting back at a man he has every reason to dislike but really, accidentally hitting something horrible and painful…
Goddamn. Can you imagine what might have happened and how much better things would have been if those two had ever, ever talked properly, father to son?
