Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 has hit theaters, and fans are flocking to see this amazing movie. Another box office hit by Marvel, it is acclaimed to be the best Marvel movie released since Avengers: Endgame. The first Guardians of the Galaxy movie was a great hit, despite the fact that no one really knew about the Guardians of the Galaxy, who were not as prominent in Marvel comics as Spiderman, Hulk, Ironman, and Captain America. However, James Gunn, the director of the film trilogy, was able to capture the audience with a great set of characters, each with a stand-out personality and great chemistry with the team.
Mantis, the new addition to the team in Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2, is really loved by fans, even though she was introduced later. Her dynamic with the team, both in combat and off combat, makes the team diverse and even more hilarious than it already is.
Mantis & Drax Relationship
The duo of Mantis and Drax is one of the funniest duos in Marvel Cinematic history, as they give hilarious moments wherever they go. Fans have even speculated about their relationship, wondering if any romance might be possible. However, it is very clear in the franchise that they are like best friends. Drax was once a father that lost his daughter, while Mantis was a child of Ego and was only born to serve. Drax mentions how Mantis reminds him of his daughter’s innocence, thus starting a great new friendship with her.
Their relationship isn’t like what a father-daughter would normally have; instead, their relationship resembles more of a big, dumb, funny older brother and a smart yet equally annoying little sister. From Drax’s comments about how disgusting and ugly Mantis was in her first appearance to their bickering on the holiday special while trying to complete their mission without getting into trouble, the chaos of this comedic duo is surely one of the fans’ favorites.
In Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3, we can still see the sibling-like relationship of the two, supporting one another and trying to get on each other’s nerves. The ending provides a beautiful, bittersweet moment where the Guardians of the Galaxy each go their own way to chase new adventures and self-discovery. The same goes for the duo, as Mantis sets out on her own with her three new giant alien pets, and Drax gets the chance to be a father again. They wave goodbye to each other, knowing that they cherish their time together and are ready to embark on the new future ahead of them.
The Guardians of the Galaxy is a film series that boasts exceptional character development, and it doesn’t stop with Mantis and Drax. Each character has their own unique story, and in the final chapter, we see them all come to fruition. Gamora reunites with her crew, Nebula finds purpose in turning Knowhere into a home she never had, Peter Quill reconnects with his remaining family on Earth, Rocket takes the reins as the new leader of the Guardians, and Groot finally grows up, allowing the audience to finally understand him and feel like part of their family. It shows the film’s ability to create a diverse and compelling cast of characters that viewers grow to care deeply about.
Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 is a satisfying conclusion to an incredible film trilogy that has captured the hearts of audiences worldwide. With its exceptional cast, engaging storylines, and laugh-out-loud humor, it’s no wonder that this film is widely regarded as one of Marvel’s best. While this chapter may have come to a close, the legacy of the Guardians will live on, after all, the legendary Star-lord is said to return.
