Peter (Star-Lord to Will, at least) seems like a pretty chill, laidback sort of guy, the kind who rolls with the punches. Looking at some of his other Network conversations (sorry bro) it probably has to do with, well, being Star-Lord. Traveling through space and stuff MIGHT HAVE prepared him a little better for being abducted by the Porter and put on a different version of Earth with people who are also from other worlds. So while Will isn't necessarily 100% the biggest fan of superheroes or people who come from worlds where this sort of shit isn't completely unthinkable, he does appreciate their presence. They have a better grip on certain aspects of shit that can go down, to his thinking, so it's at least good that there ARE some around who won't just go !?!!!?? WE'RE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKED and instead maybe had a similar experience back in their own wacky ass worlds. Star-Lord makes for a nice addition to that!
But he also thinks that there's something a bit off, other than the whole...knows aliens...traveled in space...probably dealt with weird shit like this before. Now, off doesn't necessarily ever equate to unhealthy or bad with Will, so it's not an insult. Looking around at the people who've come through in the year he's been here, uh, everyone is a little bit off in their own way. Peter's humor and his ability to roll with the punches could be a product of his brand of off—you know the whole laugh to keep from crying? Like that. Except Peter doesn't seem like he cries himself to sleep at night every night cuddling a teddy bear in a Black Sabbath t-shirt (though lbr half the taken page probably has those nights if not more), he just seems off in the way that everyone else is a little off. The normal sort of off, which is really more like being on since it's not that abnormal. They've had their own traumatic experiences and Peter's response to that is to guffaw at terrible album covers. Which isn't to say that his reactions of not taking things 100% seriously all the time are a front, or a lie (could be his version of a suit of armor, though). Nor is it to say that Peter's sense of clowning around makes him a clown or a joke of a person...
It just makes him more down to Earth, and easier to relate to. It makes him more human and touchable. Unlike his abs, which are CLEARLY magic or science fiction serums/pills SOMETHING. He's basically the whole "one of us" wrapped into a neat little package that isn't completely one of them (space travel you lucky lucky bastard). He's well-rounded (and abs) and even if he looks like one of April's ex-boyfriends (does he have those abs WORRIES FOREVER), Will can't be too terribly bothered by it.
