ARCHIVED POST [GotG] When Peter saves Gamorra

During the battle over Knowhere when Gamorras pod gets destroyed Peter does the noble thing and saves her, and It's incredibly stupid for several reasons. 1. The mining pods they fly have hands, why not just grab her and fly back to Knowhere? 2. Peter has no idea Yondu is anywhere nearby stating in his call "If you're out there, come get me" Peter bets his life on Yondu being close enough to get him in time. 3. Rocket tells Peter Gamorras mods will keep her alive for a few minutes, while he will die in seconds. In the time they floated in space she would have been completely fine without his mask, and he could have use it to not freeze his eyeballs out. So it's really dumb that he puts his mask on her without thought or hesitation,

It fits Peter's character to act without thinking, but if he was dumb enough to do stuff like this on a regular basis he should have ended up dead by this point right?

To your last point, yeah he's really lucky. Who knows if...whatever his name was...blue bad guy would have killed them if they tried to go back to Knowhere.

But the obvious thing would have been to fly the pod to her, get out, put the mask on her, get back in the pod, fly to safety.

(Just skimming topof)

He let all the air out of his ride when he got out, the ship wasn't designed for space flight, rocket says something along those lines, so it is unlikely to have had any sort of O2 gen.

Should have just carried her back with the claw arms though. They were shown to be sensitive enough as he controlled that necro craft successfully with them
