10 Movie Characters Who Became Total Caricatures In Sequels

10. Drax

Now, do not misunderstand me, there is no hate for Drax in this dojo. He's easily one of the most entertaining characters in the entire MCU, able to make even the most ardent, anti-Disney Holden Caulfield type laugh from his various antic.

But if you watch the first Guardians Of The Galaxy, you'll notice something a bit different about Drax. Namely that he isn't the comedy relief of every scene. Now granted, he still is for many of them, as pretty much everyone in the GOTG would be the comic relief in any other superhero team. But there's also a notable dignity to him, as well as the baggage about his dead family.

Of course, that fact of his character hasn't been forgotten about, but it seems to have been pushed to the wayside in favor of making him goofier. You could argue that now that Ronan is dead, he's made peace with himself and his family's deaths. But that doesn't change the fact that as he appears more and more, Drax is getting sillier and sillier.

Hopefully now that James Gunn is back in charge of his trilogy, the course will be corrected somewhat next time around.
