22. Ayesha Comes On To Peter

As soon as we meet the Sovereign, the idea that they are genetically superior beings who don't trouble themselves with lesser beings (unless they're doing grunt work for them) or their lowly, disgusting biological obsessions. They don't procreate through traditional ways, as Ayesha mentions almost immediately, preferring instead to avoid the mess by cloning so everyone is as perfect as each other.

So why does Ayesha then flirt with Peter and suggest she wants to have sex with him for fun - betraying the fact that her own cloning procedure obviously didn't get rid of her sexy impulses? More importantly, why would she be attracted to someone so clearly inferior - a key point in explaining why Ayesha is so put out by Rocket's disrespect of her people?

It doesn't make any sense, even if it makes Peter look like more of an intergalactic bad-ass playboy.
