First off, thanks for the responses to yesterday's post. I received The Invisible Man Season 1* (which I'll probably get around to discussing after I finish it) a couple of weeks ago, and I've been working my way through. The pilot episode has commentary, and I was debating whether to watch it, and I realized I've never really watched the commentary. Actually, aside from different endings, I hardly ever look at any extras at all. Might have to get around to it one of these days.
Anyway, Star-Lord. Last time he and Ronan the Accuser met, it wasn't very friendly. Star-Lord thought the Kree might need help with the Skrulls, which insulted Ronan a little. Then Star-Lord told Ronan to destroy that Babel Spire the Kree constructed/powered with Skrull corpses, and Ronan kicked his ass, then threw him into the Negative Zone. Nicer than killing him, I guess**.
Star-Lord was rescued, Ronan handed control of the Empire to the Inhumans, and then got married. Then he got beat up by some Imperial Guardsmen. Now, while he's convalescing, Phyla went and grabbed Crystal to use as leverage against the Inhumans, to make them stop fighting. Which does not appear to have worked. Regardless, Phyla is on Star-Lord's team, and Ronan strikes me as the sort who doesn't waste time disciplining subordinates if he perceives the problem to come from the top. During Annihilation, when he wasn't satisfied with how the Kree were fighting, he didn't go around killing foot soldiers, he went and killed the people giving the orders (members of the House Fiyero, a group he later completely eradicated when he learned they were planning to surrender to the Annihilation Wave). So it's possible that Ronan won't be looking to vent some frustration in Phyla's direction, but in Star-Lord's. Even if he believes Quill when he says that was absolutely not something he wanted to happen, he still didn't keep enough control of his team to stop it from happening, and Ronan might just decide to express displeasure over Star-Lord's leadership deficiences.
Man, Peter Quill has been making friends left and right lately.
* The series from 2000, as opposed to one of the older versions.
** Though Ronan only refrained from doing that because he didn't want to have to put Star-Lord through a trial before execution, where he might be elevated to martyr. Better for Peter Quill to vanish entirely.
