2) Drax Is (Sort Of) Learning
The most memorable aspect of Drax in the first movie was his total lack of comprehension of the nuances of conversation. For instance, trying to compliment Gamora by calling her “a green whore” and misunderstanding metaphors. He’s called Drax the Destroyer, after all. Not Drax the Small Talker.
The trailer, however, suggests that he’s been developing his social skills since we last saw him. In the trailer, he gives Peter some advice that is actually pretty deep for him. “There are two types of beings in the universe,” he says, referring to the differences between Peter and Gamora. “Those who dance and those who do not.”
Don’t worry, though, Drax hasn’t totally changed, as he then proceeds to tell Quill that he needs to find “a woman who is pathetic… like you.” Still, he means it in the nicest way and gives Star-Lord a big old hug afterwards.
It should be a lot of fun to see Drax trying to amend his anti-social ways in the sequel, something that adds to Gunn’s talk about building up the family relations between the Guardians.
