This movie hit harder than most people thought it would. Rocket's unbridled rage and Floor repeatedly screaming "Rocket, Teefs, Floor, go now!" has to be amongst the most emotionally resonant scenes of the entire MCU. Gunn leaving Rocket's origin story 'til last provides a whole new perspective on a character we thought we knew for almost a decade.
Rocket’s scenes in Vol 3 actually had me tearing up! He was always my favorite Guardian and I knew no matter how the film turned out, he’d be the best part! I’m not Gunn’s biggest fan but I’ll give him praise for tackling animal Cruelty in a mature and tearjerking way, poor Lylla,Teefs and Floor! Im glad how Rocket’s story ended! This is the best Marvel film since Endgame because of how mature it is!
@@realjesterbellGreat Video as always! Also I like the comparison between Toy story with innocence tortured and the Contrast of the High Evolutionary’s philosophy and Lylla’s philosophy(I have a soft spot for Animals)
@@Allan_aka_RocKITEman Yeah granted I always figured that there was an element of tragedy in Rocket’s origin but I had no idea how dark it would actually be!
Rocket's origin just felt so emotional and I feel kind of sorry for him. I felt so sad when he discovered that he was actually a raccoon despite him hating being called that in Guardians 2. He truly realised he was an actual animal from Earth and he was not some alien creature made to look like one. It just felt suitable and very saddening how he lost his friends back when he was younger.
Rocket has lost everything multiple times but unlike Thor or quill who would regress into their innocence to hide from the pain. Rocket to smart and aware to hide. So instead he balls it up and does not talk about it which makes him cynical and atust to people so as not to get close just incase it happens again.
100% agree, I love the Guardians, and this movie was very flawed, but the parts that focused on Rocket's backstory and growth were done fantastically in my opinion. The problem with the movie is all the other characters, they didn't seem to really know what to do with all of them. Peter and Gamora had the closest thing to a B plot, and their stuff was alright, the Nebula shiptease with Peter was weird and was given more gravity in the trailers when it was just a one-off joke, too much Drax and Mantis comic relief, and Groot felt useless, only slotted in to replace Drax and Mantis cause 'oh yeah, Groot is in this movie too, we better use him!'.
Again Not Gunn’s biggest fan(though I really liked both Guardians and thought Suicide Squad and Peacemaker were well done) but The fact that he turned a line that on paper sounds cheesy and turned it into actual badass line “The name’s Rocket! Rocket….Raccoon!” Beautiful!
While Rocket did very nearly die, I don't necessarily think what Rocket was seeing was his friends in the afterlife. Rocket was talking to Lylla and he saw the other two, but he didn't see them as they were; he saw them as he remembered them. Lylla is an otter, Teefs is a walrus, and Floor is a rabbit, and in Rocket's near death vision of them, they're still all mangled by what THE did to them. If they were an afterlife image, I would be willing to bet that they'd be their natural selves. Rocket's near death vision was his own mind making sense of his purpose and, when ready to give in, instead strengthening his own resolve to live.
In the preceding moments, I was already struggling to contain myself in addition to the well of tears about to cascade forth from my eyes when I heard Florence & The Machine's tranquil opening notes of Dog Days begin to play. That would prove to be the moment in which the dam ruptured and swiftly collapsed to unleash a tidal wave torrent of catharsis, rendering me an openly bawling and utterly ruinous heaping shambles of a man.
I only have one issue with this video, the guards weren't trying to hit rocket because high evolutionary wanted him alive for his brain so it wouldn't make sense for them to kill the one he wanted alive. Long story short the guards killed the others on purpose but kept rocket alive for his brain.
It’s a very different film from Parts one and Two, it’s a lot darker and Rocket’s story is heartbreaking(he’s always been my favorite out of the team and this film concludes the Guardians in a satisfying way)
GOTG 3 SPOILERS: When Nebula said “We need to get him back to the ship!” I knew Rocket’s story was about to begin a flashback after I saw a leaked clip. When I saw it in theaters, when she said that, I had to run to the bathroom because I was too scared to see Rocket being tortured like that, and I accidentally scratched my knee on the carpet. It was just a little scrape. Don’t worry.
Threw this on this morning thinking "it's a marvel film it'll be easy watching to wake upto".... oh my god... I've never been hit so hard by a movie in all my life. This volume alone has firmly put the whole franchise as one of my all time favourites, and the cast are right more needs to be said and done about vivisection and our attitudes towards animals as a whole.
