Guardians of the Galaxy is pretty comic inaccurate. A lot of that is because the comics are based in a great deal of backstory they can't really get into without doing some boring deep dive into every character possible, though.

Unfortunately, the MCU is definitely its own beast in many ways. All that multiverse jazz, which DC is toying around with too. Yondu was a time traveler and the founder of the Guardians in the books. But in the movie, yeah, he was just a marauder. They definitely made some changes there for the sake of the story. But overall the characterization of the characters was generally what you'd expect from someone that understood how to write for them.

But yeah, without dead pool at the time. There definitely was no way of getting book accurate infinity war etc.

I wasn't even talking about supporting cast, mainly the main one. Most of the characters have a ton of baggage that is just not present in the movies. Many of them have moral principles (Gamora being the prime example) that is just plainly not there at all in the comics. I wouldn't necessarily say it's bad, it's what works best for a more publicly palatable movie, but I wouldn't call it "doing it right by the source material".
