3) Star-Lord’s Deepest, Darkest Secret
In an unknown location, the Guardians meets Mantis who reads Peter’s feelings. Unfortunately for him, she reveals that he feels love for someone. Trying to control the situation, Peter claims that she senses his “general, unselfish love for somebody,” but Mantis corrects him: she senses his sexual love for Gamora. It’s a fun moment but also one that shows Vol. 2 will continue to develop Peter and Gamora’s relationship – but in unique, irreverent Guardians of the Galaxy style, of course.
The best bit about this scene, though, is Drax’s reaction. Never one to understand the nuance of conversation, Drax belts out a big laugh and explains what he finds so funny. “She just voiced your deepest, darkest secret!” he bellows at Peter. “You must be so embarrassed! Do me! Do me!”
As well as being hilarious, we can gather that Drax has come along way since the first movie in terms of his personal development. In Guardians, he was committed to vengeance against Ronan for killing his family, but now he seems to have lightened up and is enjoying his time with his new family.
