Since his 2nd Resurrection , he's an all powerful class 100 ton 💪Brute 💪!!

  • @ronn-ammon8975

    In Drax, & Thanos' 1st appearance in Iron Man's comic, it seemed to me Drax creator Jim Starlin intended him as Thanos' main foe ( if not Thanos as HIS?). But Drax never got his own book, and when Starlin wrote another hero's book (Marr-Vell, Warlock, Silver Surfer, etc.) he used Thanos, and Drax got pushed aside or out of the picture entirely. That unfortunately became the pattern for Drax, & he started getting killed and diminished. Now in the MCU he's just there to say unintentionally funny lines. Big comedown for a guy who once had the potential to be a cosmic champion and the power to match some of comic's toughest.

    Always thought Drax was really cool- originally. Wasn't much of a fan of the 'brain dead' rebirth in Infinity War and hated the Riddicking up they did later. But I do like him in the movies. So, I suggest they split the character. Drax, alien dude, family killed by Ronan and Drax the Destoryer, space zombie out to kill all evil!

    Since Dave Bautista has said the next movie will be his last interpretation of the character, I hope Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 gives Drax the perfect outing, showing how Drax was before he was turned into a big nerffed moron, how he used to be a really powerful and intimidating warrior that probably has a lot of enemies after him, have him find out his daughter was saved by an eternal and raised to become Moondragon, let the third movie be his final battle to save his daughter before he meets her mother in the afterlife

      Really! I liked Drax in the comix, and Ray Batista' performance makes him likable enough; but otherwise he brings absolutely nothing constructive to the MCU Guardians. I don't remember much if any particularly decisive shows of strength from him. Originally Groot, and now Thor being the group's muscle. Gamora (also a better tone of green) and Nebula seem much more skilled fighters. Star Lord is the flyer, and he & Rocket (the brains of the group) are the shooters. Mantis has mental powers. Drax is just ... there... saying something unintentionally funny.
