One of the less obvious emotional moments for me is watching Drax the Destroyer charge in screaming to save protagonist Star-Lord from Korath, the right-hand muscle of antagonist Ronan the Accuser.
Drax is a berserker on a sad quest to avenge his family's death at the hands of Ronan the Accuser. His quest is sad not only because Ronan far exceeds Drax in power, but also because killing Ronan will not bring Drax back his family.
However, Star-Lord enabled Drax to be part of a team, and in doing so gave Drax a kind of new family and thus a reason to fight and live, not simply fight and die. Thus, watching Drax charge in to save Star-Lord magnifies his character, making him more meaningful because he has grown to care for his allies and will bring his full strength and fury to bear to keep those allies from any harm.
