transemacabreIs Batista (Drax) the first Asian-American action hero in a major Hollywood blockbuster who is not also a martial artist? I can think of Asian martial arts heroes, and Asian protagonists who are not action heroes, but I can't think of another non-martial artist Asian action hero in a big Hollywood movie. (Batista is, in case you didn't know, half-Filipino, half-Greek.)
At the beginning of the movie, we see that Peter's mom Meredith is dying of cancer. Later on we also learn that Peter himself ishalf-alien on his father's side. Depressing thought: Is this what caused Mama Quill's fate? Who knows how much radiation an ancient celestial being emits. And carrying a half-alien fetus inside her body for nine months could have jumpstarted her cancer, as well. :(
