Wish we got Black Samson backstory. Always thought it added to his character before rejoining GOTG. Loving it so far still

I think his backstory is shown in the first scene of the New Guardians. Rex says something like “maybe if you didn’t lose your powers, you could have saved the Guardians”

Yeah, but it was quick and easy to really miss. They gave it, at the very least, but it loses a lot of impact this way

He was only in one scene. I'm sure if/when he gets more screen time, they'll get into that because it really is what most of his character is about.

I hope so! I’m sure there’s ways to tell the same story later on, I just can’t help but feel like it slightly hinders his character not having that initial introduction. It’s what made me take notice of him rather than some of the other new characters introduced here.
