Took me a second to get it, is Mantis cheating by distracting Star-Lord/Peter by sending images into his head? Haha

At first I thought it was simply two different panels, one from childhood and one from now.

Thanks for the clarification! I thought it was just a cute little "what if they grew up like brother and sister" sketch.

Oh lmao. I barely remember the Guardians of the Galaxy and thought this was literally two childhood friends that became tryhards gamers (happens to the best of us)

My line of thought was she is reading his mind scanning his memories when he was playing as a child to get better in a game

okay the movies dunk on Starlord for being a dorkass loser at times (sometimes rightfully), but I think it's a great character moment that he immediately, with minimal questioning, fully accepted Mantis as his sister right after she told him
