Back to Earth

Although we heard that Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2 would be an emotional film, we didn’t really expect that it would be. But we were wrong. Star-Lord and Yondu’s arcs were both excellent, with Star-Lord’s answering a major question from the first installment: Why didn’t Peter Quill go home once he had his own ship?

We learned the answer during an exchange between Star-Lord and Ego. If Ego refused to return to a planet where there was no Meredith (this is later revealed as a lie), Peter refused to return to a planet where he saw his mother die.

But in Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2, Star-Lord learned that he was never alone, since Yondu was his Mary Poppins (or daddy, if you will). This, along with his new family, gave him the resolve to head back to Earth.

Unfortunately, besides his grandfather, the Infinity War was also expecting him (so to speak).
