Why was Quill so against killing people in Vol. 3

All the times the Guardians have stolen from people, fought groups and villains so many times.

But the whole time they’re trying to save Rocket and they’re at Orgocorp, Quill is totally against killing, keeps yelling at Gamora for shooting and threatening people.

The guardians are not Avengers. They used to do things that would help themselves and if it was useful to them, Quill even said it best at the end of the first movie “should we do something good or bad? Or a bit a both?”

When they were responding to Thor’s distress signal, Quill agreed with Drax and Rocket that if whoever sent it didn’t pay them what they were worth, then they would take their ship.

I guess it could be the human/Terra side of him or maybe cause he’s the only one who HASNT actually killed anyone. Groot killed those people in the first movie, of course Nebula and Gamora has killed before, Drax the Destroyer is pretty self explanatory.

This kind of falls apart when the moment he was up against actual villians his immediate response was "kill them all"

He was trying to protect innocents which isn't far off from how his character operated in the first two volumes.

Ahh okay!👍🏾

He used stun ammo versus prison guards in the first movie

HawkeyeGild2025-12-29 07:59

He generally doesn't kill worker bees, just the 🫅

That make sense but I also remember When he thought the avengers worked for Thanos, he said he was gonna kill all 3 of them nd then go to Thanos

No one who works for Thanos is innocent. A guard or security at legitimate facilities are, for the most part, innocent.

The Guardians had gone legit with their own uniforms and a homebase, and OrgoCorp was a legitimate business/medical facility, it's like the Avengers starting a firefight at the World Health Organization when they just need one file. When it was just them and the High Evolutionary all bets were off.

Stupid “heroes don’t kill” shit…

I watched What If season 3 episode 6. Why shouldn’t Kate kill Burch and how did she make him “suffer” instead.

Even Quill gets that there's a difference between stealing/extorting and murder. That's a pretty normal line for roughish characters to have, both in film and real life.

Quill has shown little hesitation in killing bad guys. But he doesn't kill people simply for annoying him or getting in his way.

It’s definitely not because of the human/Terra side of him, those guys kill each other all the time.

Well after they helped save the universe from Thanos, things changed. They became more “official”. They got their own uniforms and are making Knowhere into their own city/planet with reasonable laws.

Character development? He only kills when necessary.

My take, though I agree with a lot of the other comments, is that Gamora was often the moral center of the group. In Guardians 2, she's the one that is arguing they are doing something because it's right while Quill and the others are talking about getting paid/rewarded. I think seeing her on the other side, not being the voice of good, was jarring and he didn't like it.

I also don't think it's inconsistent (stunned guards instead of killing them in the first movie, etc)

He was against killing a bunch of innocent research company employees. When it came to HE’s men he literally said: “Kill them All.”

justafanboy10102025-12-29 11:37

Of course I was talking about before that 🙂

darthbiscuit2025-12-29 12:26

In GotG3 Orgocorp is literally the first time he is involved in a fight except against Adam Warlock, who he would have definitely killed. Also, he’s only humoring Rocket when they’re going to answer the asgardian distress signal. He mouths “No. Not really.” To Gamora behind Rocket’s back in the scene.

justafanboy10102025-12-29 16:24

Quill was the one who literally said “if he doesn’t pony up” then Drax finished his sentence with “we take his ship” Quill then said “Bingo” and looked at Gamora who was obviously not into it and shook his head to pretend that they wasn’t gonna do that

Stealing something isn't remotely in the same level as murdering an innocent bystander in cold blood.
