the way Starmora is easily one of the best examples of how romantic or platonic love should be....
Marvel could easily screwed up and make Gamora a babysitter for Peter and have them kissed in the first or even the second and applaud Peter for his immaturity and childishness.
But
They didn't.
Insted they let it platonically and said that neither Peter nor Gamora are ready and they need time to develop until we see them again in Infinity War.
Peter's immaturity is not something that should be rewarded but rather a FLAW.
They could easily make Peter a pushy partner but they did not? Like Peter actually respects and learns from Gamora?
Gamora develops and learns not because of Peter alone, but because they both inspire each other in a way.
They are first friends that respect each other as people and then lovers.
And you can actually see the love and the respect and it's just so beautiful.
Basically just watch Lindsay's Ellis video on GotG vol 2,she words it perfectly.
