I know Quill is getting a lot of hate right now for his actions, but I was sitting in the theater thinking that his actions make sense, if you look at his character’s journey. He watched his mother die, was kidnapped from Earth as a child, was raised by what were essentially space pirates, killed his father, and watched his adoptive dad die. He’s emotionally stunted at the age of a pre-teen boy, but it shows more in this film because for the first time in decades, Quill is actually with some other humans who, despite their snark, are a lot more mature.
Look at Guardians 1 & 2- Peter Quill wears his heart on his sleeve no matter what the situation is. That wasn’t necessarily going to change in a couple of years.
It's also how Tony reacted to Winter Soldier in Civil War, so there is some consistency there.
