13. The Guardians Obsess Over Thor

One of the Guardians' finest collective moments in the movie occurs when they meet Thor for the first time, after he collides with their windshield and they bring him aboard.

Pretty much everyone but Star-Lord has a clear admiration for the physical specimen that is Thor. When Quill asks, "How is this dude still alive?", Drax replies, "He is not a dude. You are a dude. This is a man. A muscular man", at which point the Guardians discuss Quill's weight gain, and Rocket adds, "You're one sandwich away from fat."

Drax continues, "It's like a pirate had a baby with an angel", while Gamora (Zoe Saldana) inspects his arm and compares his musculature to exotic metal fibres. A clearly insecure Star-Lord tells her to stop massaging Thor's muscles.

Seeing all these personalities marvelling at the Asgardian's physical perfection for the first time was the perfect way to bring these two disparate superhero franchises together.
