But he thinks that gift certificate to Barney's is pretty *****in'
I think Gunn knows Drax can be kind of an avant garde type when it comes to things, and hearing poignant stuff coming out via Momoa's somewhat gruff surfer dude-ish voice is a contrast he probably wants in the character.
I'm trying to find examples online, but all I get are panels of him being the silent type, or talking as much or like Hulk. So if he does speak, doubt it's going to be a lot.
Ye Drax carries a great deal of suffering in his personality
Yeah, but Drax's grimdark you guys are talking about is focused primarily on Moondragon, who is not shown to exist in the MCU Guardians yet. Unless and until Moondragon comes aboard, then MCU Drax's whole story is simply an assassin whose whole life is committed to killing Thanos.
If Moondragon isn't around yet...he'd be grim dark cause he'd believe she was dead, along with his wife. Either way, Drax would be Grim Dark.
Yeah, that whole "being-blown-to-smithereens-on-the-way-home-from-Vegas-and-then-being-resurrected-as-an-immortal-assassin-obsessed-with-one-target" deal would tend to depress a guy.
hope momoa gets cast even tho it will be weird seeing him bald lol
Which is why the studio isn't likely to touch Drax's human origin with a ten-foot pole. Maybe if GOTG franchises and spawns successful sequels, they can delve into repressed memories and things like that for Drax, but otherwise, the MCU tries to keep it as simple as possible for general audiences, especially (merch-buying) kids. Drax is most likely going to be portrayed as a born alien assassin instead of some transmogrified human who got body-snatched out of a car wreck on I-15.

The same basic origin can work without him being human.
Aliens discover Thanos. Thanos blows up family. Drax survives.
I don't want Moondragon being green. I prefer her to be her classic bald look. Besides, Gamora is already green skinned.
We've seen that Marvel dont mind simplifying or changing up back stories when it comes to the movie universe, is it outside the realms of possibility that we might see Drax and Gamoras origins tweaked with Gamora taking Moondragons role as Drax's daughter? It would kind of simplify things if you think about it, Drax is an alien who's race is wiped out by Thanos, his daughter is taken in and raised as a warrior, he gets saved and receives a power boost and is bent or getting revenge against Thanos.
Its a big move but if you think about it it means they don't need to explain Thanos having previous encounters with earth, merges a whole heap of overly complicated backstories into one slightly less complicated movie friendly version where things like Drax being big mean and green dont need explanations.

There's just some **** from the comics that shouldn't be done in any MCU movies.
