It's 1:12 in the morning, I have slept four hours in the past twenty four and I really have to pee. So listen up, CBM, I'm gonna make this quick.
I usually write articles on Marvel Television--I'm an MCU fanatic, and we get more episodes than we do movies, so you understand. But to quote Aldrich Killian, I had a thought today that will guide me for years to come. It's been generally accepted that Kurt Russell, who's been cast in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, is playing Peter Quill AKA Star-Lord's father. We do not know what character specifically he's playing. Let's look at what we DO know.
-
It's not J'son of Spartax--director James Gunn has confirmed this much.
-
Meredith Quill described Peter's father as "an angel composed out of pure light."
-
The Ravager Yondu described him as a "jackass."
-
Nova Prime says his father is something "much more ancient" than a human. Gamora says this could be why Quill could hold the Power Stone for so long.
There's been all kinds of wild theories thrown out there. Some say it's
Adam Warlock, or
Starfox, or
the Collector. Hogwash. Ladies and gentleman, Star-Lord's dad is
Mephistopheles--Marvel's own spin on the classic Devil figure.
Any Christian worth their salt will tell you that
the Devil was once, and has the power to appear as, an angel of light. The Devil is ancient, and it's not too much of a stretch to say that he'd be a jackass. The
Mephisto of the comics surely fits this description as well, and I can definitely see Kurt Russell in this role.
That's right.
Peter Quill is the Devil's son.
That's my quick and easy theory, CBM. I'm probably wrong. But I figured I'd share my thoughts with you. Let me know what you think!
