MCU: 10 Big Missed Opportunities

6. Peter Quill's Homecoming

Since his debut in 2014, the then relatively unknown Peter Quill has established himself as one of the most popular characters in the entire MCU. Fans were devastated when the leader of the Guardians was snapped away by Thanos, despite him losing his cool when the gauntlet was almost off the Mad Titan's hand.

Quill was just a kid when he was taken from Earth by Yondu, and grew up without a real home, instead roaming space with the Ravagers, never once returning to the place where he was born.

Until Endgame, that is. Though on Titan when Hulk snapped everyone back, Doctor Strange opened the door for the half Terran to instantly return home. Since the fire and destruction of Endgame's final battle did not particularly look like it was happening on Earth, it may be that Peter didn't even realise that he was back where he was taken from all those years ago.

Obviously, there was a lot going on at the time of the battle, with dozens of others entering the fray at the time, however it would have been nice to have seen a bigger focus put on the Guardian's homecoming.
