This isn't supposed to be a full-on review. Anyone want to chip in with one, feel free. This is more to address a thought that's been munching on my brain since I saw the movie. About the movie though, I liked it. Some plot holes and ridiculous running-in-heels moments, but a velociraptor rode a T-Rex which was awesome.

Here's my thought, though, for those who've seen the movie:
Recall when the boys run into their aunt and Starlord, then pile into a jeep and escape the running crowds? Then the boys say "can we stay with you?" and their aunt says, "Trust me, you're never leaving my sight." and the boys point to Starlord and say, "No. With him."

Well, at the time it was a funny gag, but honestly I think it was unfair and would have been a much better gag had it gone the other way around. The boys say, "can we stay with you?" Starlord says, "Sure" (because of course they're talking to him) and they respond, "no, with her" indicating their aunt.

Why? Because all they've seen Starlord do since they ran into him was nearly get his face eaten by a pterasaur, get saved by their badass aunt, and then barely succeed in driving a jeep backwards.
They should have been more impressed with her than with him, only later acknowledging his badassery while he was foxhunting.

I just think it would have been more interesting and funnier to invert the trope than to go for the cheap "ha! She's not as cool as him!" gag, when it would make perfect sense to go the other way.
