Semper's Stupendous to Infinity and Beyond Everything Marvel Movie/TV Thread

Dave Bautista has been adamant this is his last Marvel movie and has kind of bad mouthed the Drax role in several interviews, so it wouldn't shock me if Drax dies.

He was never very happy about the scene that got cut from the first film where Drax had a serious, emotional recollection of his family. He said at the time he understood the scene being cut for pacing and that the film's pacing really was perfect, but wished people could have seen that side of the character. To my knowledge, that scene has never been released in any of the extra footage/deleted scene vignettes.

Drax was even more so comic relief in the second film than the first, and Bautista wanted to explore the serious side of him, but the writers and director just wouldn't go that way, so I think he became frustrated over the character being pushed into such a one-dimensional box. I have enjoyed Drax immensely, but as a fellow actor, I understand his frustration. It's annoying to be told to not pursue your character's depths.
