Drax from Guardians of the Galaxy

What happens when metaphors are meaningless

The Guardians of the Galaxy Drax character happens

 

When Peter Quill attempts to talk Drax out of killing Gamora, he points out that Ronan will be coming for Gamora. Then, he visually indicates by sliding his finger across his throat that Drax could use the opportunity to kill Ronan. However, Drax doesn’t quite follow what Quill is suggesting.

 “Why would I put my finger on his throat?” – Drax.

In a follow-up to Peter Quill’s earlier story about Kevin Bacon, Gamora makes the following comment after the group pulls off a heroic feat.

 “We’re just like Kevin Bacon.” – Gamora.

After Rocket explains that Drax is from an alien race that takes everything literally and that metaphors are going to go right over his head, Drax seems to take offense with hilarious results.

“Nothing goes over my head. My reflexes are too fast, I would catch it.” – Drax.
