Hey Fancy People!
This is it!
The fifth and final part in our Gardians of the Galaxy series!
Wait, wait, I can't hear that song without hearing the other one.
The one from the Mysidia.
Yeah, that's the stuff!
Let's talk about Star-Lord, right after the bump.
Star-Lord's look and character in the Guardians movies are a far cry from how he came about
in the comics.
Created by Steve Englehart in 1976 for Marvel Preview, Star-Lord spent most of the 20th
century outside of the Guardians of the Galaxy, working on his own as an intergalactic superhero.
He was most notably revamped by writer Chris Claremont in subsequent appearances for Marvel
Preview, his new tone meant to be more in tune with the kind of young adult sci-fi novels
written by noted sci-fi author Robert A. Heinlein.
Is that how you say it?
Yeah?
It was only in 2006 that he actually joined the second iteration of the Guardians of the
Galaxy after the events of the, say it with me now, Annihilation: Conquest storyline.
If you've been watching all the videos I've made on the Guardians then you're certianly
heard me mention it before.
There are basically two Star-Lords in the Marvel comics universe – his first iteration
has been retconned to take place on Earth-791, and doesn't mesh with the rest of Marvel's
continuity.
Here, the classic version of Star-Lord is quite literally a lord of the stars: born
during a strange astronomic phenomenon, Peter's father dies of a heart attack shortly after
he's born, and his mother Meredith is killed by aliens known as Ariguans.
Ariguans?
You guys have made me super paranoid about pronouncing things.
After that, Peter grows up to become a NASA astronaut, only for an alien called the Master
of the Sun to visit his space station and offer the mantle of Star-Lord to whomever
is worthy.
While it is initially given to another member of his crew and he's sent back to Earth, Peter
persists, he steals a scout ship to return to the station, and earns the title.
Didn't the orginal Fantastic Four orgin story involve them stealing a rocket from NASA?
What is it with Marvel Comics and spaceship theft?
In the new canon comics, Peter Jason Quill is not the son of Ego the Living Planet.
Time out, you mean to tell me Kurt Russell's character is a living planet?
How old is he?
Anyway, Quill is the son of J'son, spelled with an apostrophy to make it seem more exotic,
and he's an alien whose ship crash lands on Earth.
While there, he meets and falls in love with Meredith Quill, only to have to leave after
he fixes his ship and is recruited into an interstellar war – not knowing he had made
Meredith pregnant with Peter.
Ten years later, two Badoon soldiers come to Earth, killing Meredith before young Peter
manages to kill them becuase you can't be a super hero with living parents.
Like his original version, Peter grows up and becomes an astronaut for NASA.
However, this time he steals a Kree ship from NASA and it ends up malfunctioning, leaving
him stranded in space.
Again with the NASA ship theft...
The Ravagers, led by Yondu Udonta, pick him up, only for Peter to to hijack their ship.
Yondu gets loose, but Peter convinces Yondu to let him join his crew... as a janitor.
ComicDrake goes into much more detail about all of this in his Star-Lord video.
There's a link in the description if you want to see how all of that turns out.
Some more notable differences between the Star-Lords of the comics and movies are his
weapons and his signature ship.
In the comics, Star-Lord carries an Element Gun, which is a unique pistol that can fire
any one of the four elements.
Well, it was unique until Quill suddenly finds another one, Drake has a great rant about
that as well.
Meanwhile, movie Quill has dual energy pistols.
Of course, comic Quill often carries around a pair of Kree submachine guns as well.
The Milano as we know it from the MCU is nowhere to be found in the comics; instead, Star-Lord's
comic ship is just called "Ship."
Ship itself is a sentient form of energy that can take any shape, though it can usually
be found in the form of a starship.
Peter also has a psychic link with Ship, and it can even take human form at times and restore
itself even if it is totally destroyed.
So that's Star-Lord in a nutshell.
I'm sorry?
What?
I'm being told that if I make a joke about Star-Lord being trapped in a giant nut shell
I will pay.
That's really super mean.
I'm doing it anyway, you're not the boss of me.
Jump down to the comments section and let us know:
Have you ever stolen a spaceship from NASA?
Is that thing?
Do you want to see videos on Yondu, Nebula and Mantis?
(After a short break from this franchise, of course).
Does it suprise you that I couldn't think of a third question?
Thank you guy so much for sticking with me through this 5 video series and for all your
support.
Do me a favor and share this video with a friend.
Until next time, I'm Jay Parks.
