| Feb 20, 2015 at 18:44 | comment | added | Brian Warshaw | The "he's moving on because it's the right time" answers above are all quite good, but there is another relevant detail. While Peter certainly learns who he is in the personal sense, he also (with the help of the Xandarians) learns something about who he is in the genetic sense. He is told that something in his makeup prevented him from being immediately consumed by the stone. This is confirmation of his mother's once-outlandish story about his father. | |

All over the movie we see him jamming out to all of the songs on the first tape, but that looked like it was his first time hearing Marvin Gaye, or at least that specific song. | |

character-specific tags are a bad idea

| Feb 18, 2015 at 5:25 | comment | added | user16696 | Maybe he just wrapped it up again? 26 years later and the first tape and the walkman are in perfect condition too, so he probably takes really good care of it. | |
