I don't know enough about him from the comics.
I do think the Guardians all took a backslide from Infinity War onward. All except Gamora, who had a terrific, meaningful death. She was critical to what happened to the universe. The rest? Drax was comic relief. I didn't think of it as a negative because Batista had so much fun with it, but yeah, he was.
Starlord's backslide was most disappointing. I don't care that he couldn't not hit Thanos in the face. I care that he was back to making the same old little boy jokes about his grenades looking like balls. The best thing to happen to him in Infinity War was Thanos saying he liked him. He was probably being nice.
I think Rocket survived the snap so the writers could say look, it was random. Sure all 6 original Avengers survived, but only one Guardian did too and he ain't even the leader. Or tall.
