The Guardians of the Galaxy Hero's Journey

1.Peter Quill meets some pretty monstrous people during his journey.  He meets Nebula who is a cyborg assassin who is pretty much indestructible.  He also meets a psycho killer who is trying to take over the galaxy by destroying everyone, named Ronan, who Nebula works for. If you don,t think that that is monstrous i don't know what is.

2.Peter definitely yearns for a beautiful woman during the movie.  Gamora is a beautiful alien who peter meets during his journey.  Well as beautiful as a green alien can get. Any way the whole movie Peter is trying to get Gamora. One time he even almost kissed her but she almost killed him for doing that.  Its is not until the end that Gamora starts being nicer to Peter but even then she friend zones him. 

3.Peter had a really good motivational speech.  When they were about to fight Ronan, Peter talked about how if they fight together they can defeat Ronan.  This talk really affected them because they decide that they can save the people together even if that means they die together.  

4.Peter had a pretty rough childhood because his parents died at a young age, well at least his mom did (he had no clue about where his dad was).  When his mom was dying Peter was devistated.  When his mom actually died he ran out of the hospital.  All of the grief made him tough which helped him out later when he was fighting Ronan because he was brave enough to fight Ronan.

5.Peter Quill has a bad unhealable wound.  When his mom died of cancer in the beginning of the movie he is really affected by it.  You can tell Peter is sensitive on the subject because later in the movie he is talking to another character about his mom so he stuttered and changed the subject.

6. Peters gift to society was when the guardians of the galaxy save the Zandariens from Ronan.  They save the planet Xander when they crash the Dark Aster ( Ronan's ship), and killing Ronan after ward.  At the end the Zandarians thanked and rewarded the Guardians of the Galaxy.   

7. If Star lord (Peter quill) had never wanted the infinity stone, then imagine what the movie would be like. The whole movie is centered around the infinity stone. Star Lord figures out the stone is important after the people came after him for the stone, saying "hand it over", is the very second he realizes it is not a ball and that this is going to start his heroes journey. If he had forked it over, then Ronan would use it as a weapon of mass destruction.

8. If you need heroes, in outer space. Who you gonna call? The Guardians of the Galaxy!

Like The Avengers, they are a loyal band of companions with 5 heroes stopping an evil powerhouse. The only difference between these two groups of superheroes is that the guardians all started out trying to kill each other (except for Rocket and Groot). They all became the loyal band of companions that we know of after helping each other escape from prison. This made them a true band of companions.
