Ever since the MCU brought us Aliens for the first time people have been joking about how it’s funny that everyone in the universe seems to be very fluent in the Kings English. (Also it’s weird to type Kings English and not Queen’s English.)

It seems that a very quick piece of dialogue in Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 solved that problem.

When Nebula, Drax and Mantis are in the bowels of the High Evolutionary’s ship and meet his “children” Nebula mentions that her translator does not work when trying to communicate with the children.

I know it’s a minor line and many of us kind of assumed that the Guardians and other interstellar characters had some sort of universal translation device, but it is nice to have it confirmed.
