Do you think the Guardians Of The Globe could have won if Red Rush had stuck to just bailing the others out of death and hadn't attacked himself, or do you think everyone was doomed no matter what? They did put up a great fight even after he was removed, so I think it's plausible they could have. DISCUSSION

He may have been holding back to make it seem more believable. Still impressive, no doubt. The damage was done.

Not to mention it being an emotional challenge. He can claim he didn’t care about them all he wants, he was still friends with them.

Was he? Seemed like he didn't enjoy partnering with them, although that could have been him not wanting to get close because he knew he'd have to kill them someday

He wasn't an official member but apparently attended some Guardians social functions, Red Rush's SO is a good friend of Debbie, and he makes some remarks that clearly show he knows many of the Guardians well, and says that he never liked Immortal in a way that implies that he's an exception and that he tried to cultivate relationships with the team. Art also seems to regard him as decently sociable.

Honestly I think he's more annoyed that the Guardians, the premier team who can actually operate at the magnitude of his level as an unit use him as a strutch.

It is inconvenient for him, harshly against the values of strength and self-reliance he does always retain, and to him may just seem lazy. Like come on, if they're half serious they should be beating Maulers six ways to sunday.
