One of the most infuriating moments for audiences watching Avengers: Infinity War is when Star-Lord, aka Peter Quill, violently reacts to the news that his girlfriend Gamora has been killed by Thanos.
During the iconic Marvel scene, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, and the Guardians of the Galaxy are seconds from removing Thanos’ gauntlet and thus preventing the mad Titan from completing his plan to snap half the universe away. However, when Star-Lord finds out that Gamora is gone, he loses it, and Thanos manages to retain the gauntlet.
Star-Lord actor Chris Pratt is more than aware that the scene in question enraged people. In a new interview with Out of Order’s Scene Stealers, he rewatched the key Infinity War moment and told the host he looks at it differently now, but that after the film was released, people would angrily approach him on the street and ask, “Why’d you do that, man?!”
“What’s wild about this scene is that people eviscerate Quill because of his responsibility for essentially getting Iron Man killed for that moment,” he said. “You know that human moment where people hate this character for a while, and I really felt that.”
