You know, something that I would have really loved to see in Vol. 2 during the fight with Ego – we see Peter’s friends getting fried by whatever Ego had threatened to crush or kill them with, but… what I would have loved to see was that statue of
Meredith crumbling.
That statute
really bothered me a whole damn lot, because after everything we have seen and heard of Ego, after his “collection room” where he shows Peter all the women he has impregnated, it feels like that statue was less of a memorial for a beloved person and more of a trophy for Ego.
It crumbling to dust, perhaps a smile on the statue’s lips as it does, would have been a signal to me that just like the rest of Peter’s family, Meredith was “freed” of that the moment Peter took control of the celestial powers.
God I would have *loved* that. That would’ve been perfect.
….This reminded me of one of my biggest hopes for Infinity War, actually, which is that Peter gets to return to his childhood home and see his grandparents and maybe get some photographs of Meredith off them. That way (especially now that the Walkman’s gone) he’ll at least get back an image of her that was actually *her*.
i guess ive turned into the kind of person who draws them all the time but uh anyways im really really here for the soft domestic background romance of a space pirate and a deadly assassin so like thanks for that james gunn
The Collector sends Taserface after Groot and Star-Lord in “Cosmic Sleigh Ride,” a brand new Marvel & Funko animated short! Will they escape? Watch to find out.
There’s so much to explore with regards to this trio. I wish we’d seen more of their shared past in the films. While I’m sure GOTG 3 will cement Peter and Kraglin as brothers, for now at least I’m revelling in the idea that Kraglin is Yondu’s long-suffering space husband, who wasn’t too keen on Peter at first – most likely, he suggested that they dump him with the Nova Corps and skedaddle before anyone had the chance to get attached. However, while he pulled the classic trick on Yondu of ‘if you want a pet, you have to look after it yourself’, he does occasionally pitch in and help his captain raise his adopted son.
Domestic bliss by Ravager standards involves a lot of blaster fire and whistling. But they do their best, and that’s all that matters!
