He’s the protagonist in that yes he’s the viewpoint character for audiences to relate to but that’s not the same thing as him being the undisputed leader of the group.
The cartoon is trying to suggest he’s the least qualified and only the leader because he’s a white man which is also pretty ridiculous. Drax is a buffoon, for starters. Rocket is a selfish asshole half the time. Groot has been a baby and then a surly teenager for his last few appearances. Gamora is really the only other qualified member and she has always been on equal footing with Quill.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
