I recently watched the entire Marvel movies in chronological order to truly see the process leading to the Infinity WAR. I and my colleague entered a discussion about a few things in Guardians of the Galaxy (GotG) movies and I wanted to ask you, the amazing community of GOG full of wisdom, about your opinions on the matter at hand.
Question1: In the first GotG movie, how could Peter Quill (Aka Star Lord) not know about Thanos and Ronan? They are like the ultimate powers and villains in the galaxy and an outlaw like Peter Quill should know about them. That's like an outlaw on earth not knowing about Donald Trump.
I believe that's the way Marvel tells their stories, in the eye of the characters. Someone doesn't know something and the other person explains to them the situation. And we, audience, learn about it in the process. Marvel used that technique expertly in Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and Avengers movies. So it is not that Peter wouldn't know about Thanos or Ronan by now but that's how writers told the story to us.
Question 2: In the first movie there is a scene where Yondu almost killed Peter. But in the second movie, we clearly see that they have a father&son relationship. So I believe that in that scene, Yondu did not actually mean to kill him but to show his men that he has not gone soft. He knew Peter too well and he knew he would say something that would get him out of the situation. His act was just theatrical, dramatic just like when he told Peter his crew wanted to eat a Terran.
What are your opinions on the subject?
