Near the end of guardians Vol. 1, in the “bunch of jackasses standing in a circle” scene, Peter asks them to save Xandar even though they’ll likely die trying. And they all agree. It would be an honour to die amoung friends, even. The Guardians are willing to die for each other.
But by the time Vol. 3 rolls around, at the end of the movie, Peter gathers the Guardians in a circle again and the group all goes their seperate ways. They’re all willing to live. To try. To carry the love of their friends and family with them as they take their own paths and heal. I just think it’s neat how, at first, each Guardian is willing to die for each other. But by the end, they’ve learned to LIVE, for themselves
