I love Adam’s arc. He was born prematurely for the sole purpose of killing. He doesn’t know any better. His mother says “kill the Guardians,” so he will kill the Guardians. But then when he hurts people he says “I don’t like how this makes me feel.” He discovers his own nature. He doesn’t LIKE killing. He evolves beyond his creator’s expectations, not unlike Rocket. When he finds out the lives of his mother and people are on the line, THAT spurs him to keep fighting. To save them. Then he fails. Everything he had to live for is gone. Then the people he was targeting save him. They give him a second chance. And he decides to save one of them in return. He finds himself. He’s not a killer. He’s a savior. He’s a Guardian of the Galaxy at heart.
And to think he doesn’t get so much as a thank you for saving Quill. Give this guy some respect. He didn’t have to do it. But he did.
