I cant figure out if the Guardians in Infinity War would actually have stolen the ship if it was a real distress beacon and the pilot doesnt 'pay up'?

In Infinity War the Guardians talk about their plan for what to do when they receive the distress beacon from the the Asgardians. Drax wants to rob them and steal the ship if they find someone who needs help but won't pay for the assistance which Quill enthusiastically agrees with, before turning back to Gamora and nodding that she shouldn't believe him.

Ive never been able to figure out what their intent really was. Robbing the poor being in trouble seems like it doesnt fit the good guy arc they were developing for the group but at the same time Quill genuinely seems like that idea was a forgone conclusion with his reaction("B-b-b-b-bingo!"). But then his turn back to Gamora seems to negate that?

I always got the impression they were going to go with Drax's plan and sort of sweep the dirtier parts of it under the rug towards Gamora but again them outright robbing someone of their ship seems so out of character for them by this point, but then maybe im reading it completely wrong.

What do you guys think?

Who knows, but most of them aren't exactly Good Guys. Quill's the most ethical of the bunch, and that's only in comparison to the others (it's a low bar).

I disagree on Quill being the most moral, I’d say Groot, Mantis, and Gamora are all more moral.

DCangst2025-11-20 04:39

Adult Groot. Maybe. I can't remember that far back. I'll say yes to Mantis, although I think she helped kidnap Kevin Bacon, if I recall, so maybe not. Gamora I don't recall her being a beacon of morality, even after she turned away from Thanos. But, I'm admittedly not that into the movies and only saw them once.

>What do you guys think?

Are you asking if the group that stole the batteries they were supposed to protect would've stolen a ship?

Distant_Pilgrim2025-11-20 03:37

That was mostly Drax.

SeekerVash2025-11-20 03:39

Rocket right?

Yup.

StrLord_Who2025-11-22 23:54

Rocket says "that was mostly Drax." They were quoting the movie.

zmormon2025-11-20 04:27

Drax wasn't in the movie

StrLord_Who2025-11-22 23:55

Lol have people not seen the movie? I can't believe this quote got downvoted.

Distant_Pilgrim2025-11-23 00:12

I don't get it either.

Good, bad, bit of both.

Bit of both.

Gorguf622025-11-20 03:41

It was more of an concept.

Crimkam2025-11-20 03:48

Quill would convince them not to steal the ship, then find out later that Rocket reprogrammed the ship to fly itself to wherever they were going so that he could steal it later.

JuryZealousideal37922025-11-20 03:49

Yep, this sounds right

bangarang902102025-11-20 03:50

I think they were all pretty good at that point, but had some bad impulses still and were always trying to act “bad” in front of the others cause they thought the others were still bad. They were all good at heart.

ABBJ552025-11-20 04:48

They were good people, their intention was to help

juances192025-11-20 12:50

It's not so black and white, they aren't evil but they aren't saints either.

I assume they'd save the people, they are not gonna leave them stranded to die in space. But they will also grab anything shiny they happen to find in the wreckage as "payment".
