LEE:

            _{brows lowered as a neutral expression  ( barely tinted with amusement )  crossed his face. ‘laugh directly in your tiny little face’.  that was certainly a new one.           ❝    if that will help you feel better  about yourself   ❞           and here we see what some had referred to as ‘zhen’s zen’. something that would annoy, irritate, or otherwise anger most people had basically NO EFFECT on him——- a reaction that for some was a source of irritation in and of itself.  ( ‘you know that would bother most people right?’  “yes”  ‘ but not you’  “no”  ‘why not!?’  “why should it?”  ‘because—’ …  it was an endless cycle ).}

          ^{peter quill refuses to believe that such well mannered retort wasn’t given solely with the intention of aggravating him. brows furrow, eyes narrow, every little detail of his features convey irritation. being incapable of achieving petty victories like that … makes him feel like nothing he can do will work. “ look, karate kid, “ quill says, “ it ALL happened. believe it or not, i saved an entire goddamn planet. “ having his accomplishments dismissed or diminished doesn’t fly, not so long as the star-lord draws breath.}
