When Yondu and Nebula do their desperation move and take out all the Sovereign ships using Nebula as a battery (there’s the battery theme again!), I’d noticed that one of the blasts almost hits Drax and Mantis …
But I didn’t notice that Mantis’s hand actually gets burned, and she is obviously in pain.
Poor l’il bug! (And that’s another reason why Drax reacted angrily to the near miss, besides almost getting fried – he was being protective of Mantis!)
She doesn’t flinch away, though; she keeps holding Ego, though she must be having to concentrate through her pain, until the rock hits her.
dumping some draws before i head out on a roadtrip! i got a request for rocket getting petted a while ago and kind of… went to town. also, poor kraglin didn’t make the cut for rocket’s drawings of his friends on the gotg ride at disney. also also star-lord’s scarf is cute
During the golden age of piracy, one team of adventurers stood out from all others. There was a young orphan raised from infancy by an infamous pirate captain; there were two fearsome sisters who ran rival ships; there was a buccaneer seeking only to avenge his family; there was a beautiful mermaid and a loyal first mate; and there was an angry tree creature and a guy who could turn into a raccoon. Obviously.
Together they are…the Guardians of the Seven Seas. They love crime, the open ocean, a good sea shanty, and each other.
Idea for Infinity War: at some point during the movie all the Guardians of the Galaxy who aren’t Peter (and maybe not Groot either, that’s just too weird) are given some sort of cloaking/shapeshifting/whatever device so they can wander about on Earth free of funny looks
Gamora, Drax and Mantis basically just look like Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista and Pom Klementiff, and they’re very pleased about that
Rocket is absolutely livid that he looks like Bradley Cooper.
a very sacred terran ritual. also, if something’s small and colorful, groot thinks it’s a bug, and he WILL try to eat it (and starlord will be too much of a dad to do anything about it)
Drax has a picture of his wife and daughter by his bed. He keeps it there with pride and doesn’t mind talking about them in the slightest. Quill makes a comment on how he’s a family man, which earns a serious look from Drax as he says, “I am a dead family man.”
