    Its so random!!
    Again they just did whatever they wanted under the guise that the only difference is Tchalla becoming star lord.

    Where is Gammorrah? Why does Blue girl not have robot parts? Unless they are saying Tchalla talked down thanos when he was only just a child. But if that were true Gammorah would still be there.

    Thanos being good was good for a small chuckle..then it was just stupid...
