Gamora and Nebula were both abused by parents. Peter was abused by Yondu, who is essentially a father figure to him.

Peter describes how Yondu used to emotionally torment him as a child claiming he saved him from his crew wanting to eat him. He tries to guilt Peter with it still.

It’s complicated but for the most part no: the Unova Corp are not evil but at least for the first half of the movie they’re an obstacle for the Guardians who were still considered criminals at this point. Although they’re more lawful neutral since they still have certain characters shown in a sympathetic light and the Guardians are at least in good-ish terms with them what with how they’re all pardoned by the end

I mean Drax is kind of autistic coded, even if in-universe it’s more because his alien race doesn’t have the concept of metaphors in the first place along with other weird cultural quirks. The important thing to note though is that even though those quirks are often played for laughs, he’s a character that is otherwise respected and even the humor is more to add to his character rather than to mock him

There isn't any explicit sexual content, but there is implied hookups. Star Lord (Peter Quinn) is a womanizer. Gamora is called a whore once, and there are some subtle sex jokes.
