We all love the Guardians of the Galaxy. Peter Quill, who’s more likely to be called “Star Munch” by an adversary than by his chosen moniker, “Star-Lord.” Gamora, who’s dealing with the mother lode of daddy issues. Drax, who discovers he’s more than the revenge he seeks. Rocket, torn between two worlds, and Groot, the ultimate giving tree. They all come from nothing—or something much, much worse than nothing—and the world expects as much from them. But together, they become something greater. They’re exactly the kinds of losers we root for, because even in their failures, they act valiantly…against their nature. They’re reluctant heroes, just as most of us are when the situation arises, but when the chips are down, they bring their A game and are ready to die for what they know is right.
