Mary Poppins

At this point, Star-Lord realized who Yondu was. Given what happened at the end of the movie, it was both funny and heartbreaking.

As Yondu floated in the air with his yaka arrow, Peter remarked that he looked like Mary Poppins. When asked whether he is a cool dude, Peter replied that Mary was a cool dude. In respose, Yondu didn’t hide his enthusiasm, announcing:

I’m Mary Poppins, y’all.

And this was extremely funny, since Yondu was such a badass throughout the movie.

At the same time, this scene revealed that Yondu had actually protected Peter throughout his life, and had taught him everything he needed to prevail. Basically, Yondu was Star-Lord’s nanny, but this hadn’t occurred to Star-Lord until now.

We believe that things should have ended here. The following line should have been left out:

He may have been your father, Quill, but he wasn’t your daddy.
