[QUOTE="DrunkonDuty, post: 9038005, member: 54364"] Yeah, okay. Technically correct. Have a meme. But we see in the movie that Quill (and the rest) need to rely on the brightly coloured Ravager suits. One could say that the lack of the other space suits was Chekov-gunned and thus not a plot hole, but a plot point. Yes, it [I]could [/I]have been clearer. But not everything needs to be spelled out in big letters for the audience. It's not a major point and time is limited. I mean, upthread some people were complaining that the music player was set to a playlist of one decade and then we heard a song from a different playlist. IIRC this shot took place during a conversation about choosing a song. You can choose a different playlist. And we, the audience, don't need to see that happen. It suffices that we know it is something that can happen. The real problem with the "Yay it's over, oh wait Quill doesn't have a suit he's gonna die, oh wait Warlock saved him" thing was that it was unnecessary. It added 2-3 minutes of boring running through explosions stuff that we did not need. I strongly suspect executive interference forcing this particular piece of ho-hum. I mean, you're not wrong. He's not a well-developed character. His motives are super-villain simple. He's a tech squillionaire with a god complex. A total narcissistic sociopath.* He chews some scenery, and commits genocide and animal cruelty. What's not to hate? As is frequently pointed out in these Marvel threads: the movie is about the heroes. I'm much happier having interesting character arcs for the protagonists than a deep backstory for the villain. YKMV** * any resemblance to real world squiilionaires is almost certainly intended. ** I've gone metric. [/QUOTE]
