With the MCU being such a massive project & so many characters needing time lớn shine, it makes sense that some stories would need lớn be adjusted in order khổng lồ fit into the larger narrative. Such is the case with Drax in the Guardians of the Galaxy films. While he is a source for some of the best jokes in the movies, and Dave Bautista plays him brilliantly, there are only a few scenes that really drive into his tragic backstory.
While these scenes are excellent, like Mantis feeling Drax’s sorrow in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, the latest game does an even better job of acknowledging his origins. More importantly, he is treated as the powerhouse that he is in the comics, something that the MCU has yet khổng lồ properly capture. Given how well Drax’s backstory is explored in the game, it is arguably even better than it is in the comics, và fans of the Destroyer should make sure to check out Eidos Montreal’s Guardians of the Galaxy because of that.

Exploring All Aspects Of Drax’s Story
As many comic readers will know, Drax’s backstory is deeply tied lớn the iconic villain Thanos. In his pursuit of lady Death, The Mad Titan eventually found himself on Drax’s planet. As he is known lớn do, he wreaked havoc, killing many Katathians in the process. Drax found his wife and daughter amongst the corpses, vowing to get revenge on Thanos.
A neat cảm ứng by Eidos Montreal is the confirmation that Thanos defeated Drax in their first meeting, as this immediately makes it clear just how dangerous the father of Gamora & Nebula can be. After this defeat, Thanos left Drax & some other Katathian warriors alive khổng lồ send a message to other survivors, & everyone but Drax went to fight Fing Fang Foom in order khổng lồ redeem themselves. Drax, however, remained consumed by rage.
Through the use of magic, Drax was able to link himself lớn Thanos, something that allowed him to lớn track the villain wherever he went. Eventually, he found him alone on a distant moon, và the two had a fight that lasted days. Supposedly, Drax landed the last hit on Thanos before passing out, with the villain not seen since. While Drax believes that he is still alive, this is one important part of Drax’s backstory that the films have not touched on. In the comics, Drax kills Thanos, displaying his power and establishing himself as an important figure in the Marvel universe.
Aside from making Drax as powerful as he is in the comics, the games tell his story brilliantly. A missable conversation details the fight with Thanos, allowing players invested in finding Guardians of the Galaxy’s collectibles lớn learn about Drax. Through these same collectibles, players can learn about how violent and cruel Drax was on his path lớn revenge, as well as his time in the prison known as the Kyln. A beautiful & entirely optional conversation on Knowhere sees Drax telling Star-Lord about the Katathian afterlife, something that would be nice to see on the big screen one day. Missable conversations also detail Drax’s culture, with everything from his tattoos to lớn his people’s heroes discussed.
While Drax still has the standout humor seen in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, he has more power & more depth on đứng đầu of that. When Mantis takes the Guardians into his mind, players get to lớn see him interacting with his family, with his goodbye arguably being the saddest moment in the entire game. By exploring this backstory at so many different points in the game, và making extra details available alongside what is shown in the main story, Eidos Montreal ensures that Drax is so much more than comedic relief.
