The decision to add Iron Man to the team was honestly pretty bad, really because he didn't do anything of note before leaving the team. He was just thrown in to be the butt of a bunch of jokes about how much more advanced different alien species were. Then they decided to retcon Quill's origin and attitude from stern and serious hero who made occasional quips into a space-pirate who sleeps with a ton of other aliens just to parallel the movie which was just insulting to long-time readers. Overall Bendis made the GotG do the opposite of what they were supposed to be doing because they wanted to push the comics in line with the movie. They don't even guard the galaxy any more, they just float around in space being generally jerk-like and dealing solely with personal issues which weren't issues until Bendis took over. I've said this too many times now but Bendis is great at doing new, original characters but really sucks at handling characters with a legacy and history (Civil War II and all attached characters stand as the most recent victims of Bendicide).
