Synopsis:
“While on Knowhere, Drax is not feeling like being a destroyer as various opponents try to claim his title. With help from Broker, Drax tries various odd jobs around Knowhere until he has an encounter with the self-proclaimed Champion of the Universe.”
Tropes featured in the episode:
- A Day in the Limelight: Drax. The other Guardians are nowhere to be seen as they all parted ways after capturing Thanos.
- Bittersweet Ending: After defeating Tryco, the so-called "Champion of the Universe", Drax decides he doesn't need a title to prove himself and simply considers himself "Drax". Unfortunately, like Rocket and Groot, he ends up losing all of his units and made to work to fix up Knowhere's restaurant.
- Do Not Call Me "Paul": Drax gets annoyed when people still refer to him as “Destroyer” and try to fight him.
- Jerkass Has a Point: Attacking Cosmo was uncalled for, but Tryco isn't wrong that him reading minds is pretty rude.
- Lethal Chef: Drax’s cooking is still terrible.
- Manipulative Bastard: The Broker takes advantage of Drax's naivete by selling him very expensive items with some of his bounty reward. It doesn't matter how inept Drax is at various tasks as long as he gets units.
- Meaningful Rename: In-Universe. Drax does not want to be known as “the Destroyer” anymore and is trying to find a new suffix.
- Mr. Fixit: Drax tries to become this. He fails.
- Now What?: Drax refers to himself as "Destroyer" while seeking revenge against Thanos and Ronan. With both of them defeated, he spends the episode seeking a new purpose in life.
