A few months ago, Marvel released the first trailer for the latest installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. These trailers had us all looking forward to one thing:

That's right, I'm talking about baby Groot. He is tiny and adorable, and this movie could be the next Catwoman and would still probably be okay as long as we still have baby Groot. However, in all our excitement about the new movie (BABY GROOT), we have overlooked another amazing returning character.

Drax started out as a humorless, overly literal bucket of manpain. In the first film, he hated the character Gamora, because of her association with Ronan, the being who murdered his family, and his primary objective was avenging his family. He was cliche, but his story wasn't a terrible one.

In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, he has joined Peter Quill's crew, gotten over maybe 60% of his issues, and has taken on a sort of weird uncle role in the group, and honestly? Weird Uncle Drax is relatable as hell. Here are some of his finest moments from the trailer:

1. When he laughs in the face of danger

Sometimes one reaches a point where there's nothing else they can do.

2. When he tries really hard (or not)

I'm trying every day, buddy. How hard I'm trying depends on the day, but still.

3. When he does this

Honestly same. Especially when I think about my student loans.

4. When he came up with this perfect solution

5. When trying to be helpful doesn't stop him from being blunt as hell

6. When his awkwardness doesn't keep him from sincerely offering comfort

7. When he's dramatic

I, too, curse inanimate objects in a histrionic fashion. And finally...

8. When he laughs after Peter got called out

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is due to be released on May 5, 2017. Like everyone else, I'll be looking forward to baby Groot, but weird Uncle Drax is also my jam.
