Rocket | Marvel Studios' Legends

Rocket was the product of illegal genetic experimentation on a raccoon, but after surviving his torturous past, he came out the other side a crack pilot with a snarky mouth and a penchant for making things go boom. LEGENDS remembers how Rocket Raccoon wound up using his unique talents to help save the universe alongside his chosen family, the Guardians of the Galaxy.

I still remember the line Rocket said to Tony " you are genius only on Earth pal" that is so true after watching GOG 3

The "only on Earth Pal" created a time machine in Earth

​@@ououo810 Relax, time machine was already there, Hank Pym made it with his daughter in Antman 2, it was the quantum tunnel. Tony Stark just created a fully functional time-space GPS that would allow avengers to safely navigate through the quantum realm, so they can go in and exit at a selected point in time. Later, Tony Stark, Rocket and Banner made a bigger version of the same machine that was built by Hank Pym, so that all the avengers could enter the quantum tunnel at the same time instead of one by one. Now, Rocket was initially just a raccoon, unlike Tony Stark, Racoon didn't get any education to understand science. He brain was experimented on to add intelligence. Another big thing is that Tony has a lot of money and resources to study time travel. Rocket doesn't have that luxury. If he had same resources as Tony, who knows, maybe he could have found a way to time travel, and he did have a reason too, to save his friends from the past.

To be honest, the loki series just a BIG SPIT on all the avenger movies including the infinity war and endgame. WHY??? Because in Loki series, Everyone working in the time department has a drawer full of infinity stones and even a few more. They probably use them to play Bantay Games. It's just pathetic.

I've rarely cried in a movie theater in my life, even though I watched Endgame with a smile, but I watched Guardians of the Galaxy 3 crying whenever Rocket came out. It's by far the best movie I've ever seen in my life. And what I personally felt was, in the middle of the fight scene It reminded me of Old Boy, a movie in Korea.

It's really amazing that we all got suckered watching the first movie by having a talking snarky raccoon with a gun fetish as a major character. And then he turned out to have one of deepest and most heartfelt character story arcs in the MCU. Like I'm certain people will come out of the movie theater in tears just because of him.

[@Yonkage-ik5qb]

It's utterly insane how this band of misfit comic book characters, that basically nobody had ever heard of, became the gem of the entire MCU. And the favorite is the entirely CGI character in a live-action franchise. Just defies the odds in so many ways.

[@Ai99573]

I always love rocket since the first film though, that drunk scene always stuck me

[@andrescoloma6652]

Its crazy to think that only tony stark and maybe rogers (and I'm not that sure about him) have a background, personality and plot as good and well developed as this raccoon.

[@weareparamore1597]

Rocket is a relatable character, a grumpy old soul that we sense there's a pure heart inside. . There's just a mysterious event that make him that way.. I know people like that, they hate other people,interactions with strangers but within their circle of friends, they're loving l,caring etc.. and sometimes I see him randomly feeding stray animals in the streets

[@ARTSONICFAN990]

If Best Guardian Rocket Racoon has taught us anything is that you should never underestimate a racoon... And NEVER kill Groot in front of his face.

[@irem33]

My favorite thing about Rocket's MCU characterization is how they made him an overwhelmed dad. He's such a good dad too... Look at how he was ready to die to save Groot at 6:24 it never gets old.

I have never been an aficionado of comic books turned into movies because story lines were usually ridiculous and characters frequently 2 dimensional. Rocket's character is so very compelling because every time he opens his mouth it is funny, sad or with a strong purpose - sometimes all three. What he endured as presented in GOG3 brought tears to my eyes. At the end when he freed the kits and realized he really was a raccoon made me feel happy. I seriously believe Rocket is one of the best written characters I have ever got to enjoy watching. Now that he is Capt. Rocket I really hope to see him again.
