* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: Quill saves Gamora from the Collector by touching the Power Stone.
* [[Disney Death]]:
** Groot gets destroyed by the Kree during the [[Final Battle]], but he is doing fine.
Line 28 ⟶ 31:
** [[The Smart Guy]], with elements of [[The Lancer]]: Rocket; a mechanical genius and tactical planner, but is very cynical and prone to disagreements with Peter.
** [[The Chick]], with elements of [[The Big Guy]]: Groot; a gentle soul, very protective of his companions, and averse to in-fighting. He is not above brutal violence against those that would threaten his friends, however.
* [[Five-Bad Band]]:
** [[Big Bad|The Big Bad]]: Ronan the Accuser, the main antagonist of the movie.
** [[The Dragon]]: Nebula, Ronan's number one henchman and daughter.
** [[The Evil Genius]]: The Collector, an assassin sent by Ronan to destroy the Guardians.
** [[The Brute]]: Korath the Pursuer, Ronan's secret weapon.
** [[The Dark Chick]]: The Other, Ronan's partner in-crime.

* [[Historical Hero Upgrade]]: Cosmo the Russian cosmonaut dog was based on Laika, who was also a cosmonaut dog. Though unlike his historical counterpart, he didn't died in space.
* [[Love Interest]]: Maybe or maybe not with Gamora. She violently rejects Peter's advances at the beginning of the second act, in rather [[Tsundere]] fashion. Though despite regularly teasing their relationship to the audience, Peter and Gamora never share an on-screen kiss or are implied to consummate their relationship in any way. Whether they'll become lovers or just stay [[True Companions]] is left up in the air.
