The Story of Rocket Raccoon

***
“Lyla and teefs and floor and me.... Rocket”
Since Tony Stark's death, I believe Rocket has made the most impact on the MCU. Guardians 3 was absolutely spectacular, heartbreaking, and everything that I hoped it would be. It's been a long time that a MCU movie wasn't that high in quality. James Gunn truly knows what he is doing and it is with blind trust that I'll watch his next film. There isn't really a sadder story than the one of Rocket ' The saddest creature in the universe '
I really hope you enjoy this video.
So about me, It's been already 1 month and a half since the last video, time flies really much lately. On the news part.. I did, just today, my first ever day as an editor professionnally. It feels weird, knowing that I would never expect how far this journey will take me. Your support through the years truly maintained my passion for editing alive, and, even though I'm currently in another city starting something new, It truly feels good to be able to connect with you all, there is a sense of comfort to it.
I wanna take the chance to thank the entire SlyferArmy community on discord, my discord server is open to everyone and I've met wonderful people there. And also @Cilyra who's been the biggest support anyone could expect wether it's been in life or in KZbin. It truly means a lot and having watched this movie with you is a great memory to me.
Thank you all & see you soon for a Spider-Verse one!

Man when Rocket speaks for the first time and says "hurts".... it breaks my heart to shambles.

[@Jim_The_Fish]

I’ve seen the movie 5 times now and that part always makes me cry. “Hurts” and Nebula crying while saying “This is worse than what Thanos did to me.” The weight of that sentence always hits me, especially when you remember her suffering in Infinity War. When she yells at Gamora, calling Rocket family, it hits so hard. These characters have been through so much, and have had such amazing arcs.

[@sashana8310]

I saw this film 3 times at the cinema & my heart shattered each time

[@realtalkwithj-man5195]

Bradley Cooper is legendary I couldn't imagine no one else doing him . The part where rocket cried out he actually pulled that emotion from finding out his father died that's why it's so gut wrenching . Easily the saddest movie in the MCU .

[@HeroesFanProductions]

After Vol.3, Rocket has become my favorite MCU character hands down. Beautiful tribute man!

[@slyfer2812]

Thank you HFP!

[@Animus5134]

He's been my favorite since the beginning, but vol 3 made me love him even more!

[@mydreaminorbit9297]

James Gunn made us feel emotions towards a CGI Raccoon, and people still doubt this man's storytelling ability. The DCU is in great hands.

[@rishindevnath9832]

So you mean to tell me you didn't feel sh*t when Bambi's mom died. We have literally felt for mechanical robots, disproportionate caricature humans years before and in '23 someone made you feel about a raccoon in a world famous franchise with two lead up movies and you think that's credibility.

[@Jim_The_Fish]

@@rishindevnath9832who shit in your cornflakes? The Guardians trilogy is great storytelling, and Gunn did an amazing job. Crying over a CGI raccoon was just one of the many things about these movies. For the record, I didn’t give a shit when Bambi’s mom died.

[@rishindevnath9832]

@@Jim_The_Fish looks like maybe you did, good thing I don't eat cornflakes. As a great filmmaker once said Marvel movies aren't cinema.

[@Jim_The_Fish]

@@rishindevnath9832 who, Scorsese? Because there’s such a mass amount of content? Every so often a movie is pumped out carelessly. The MCU has had its share of thoughtless trash. But to say that none of the MCU movies are cinema? That’s plain stupid and ignorant. There’s a good handful of top tier movies in there. Are you just on this video to troll? I get it if superhero movies aren’t your thing, but to completely dismiss it without proper analysis is just asinine.

[@rishindevnath9832]

@@Jim_The_Fish Nah bro it's cool. I don't hate superhero movies or anything. I just don't like the mass media take on superheroes It feels too mediocre and nonchalant for my taste. I mean they are good not bad and GOTG3 had an amazingly well crafted fight sequence but still it felt like a filler not a canon.

[@Cilyra]

A tribute as emotional and beautiful as Rocket's story is, most fitting for him

[@slyfer2812]

Thank you :)

[@CliffJump23]

his story isnt beautiful its fucking tragic 😅😂

[@SherlocksLeftNipple]

I still remember how people thought "the anthropomorphic raccoon" and "the talking tree" were going to be the MCU's "jump the shark" moment, back when Vol. 1's trailer first came out. And then James Gunn proceeded to turn said raccoon into one of the deepest, sweetest, most tragic and fleshed out characters in the past 20 years of cinema. I'm going to miss the Guardians, so freaking much.

[@ericmiller93]

Bro when he says, “hurts” right after being put in the cage with his friends a part of me dies every time I watch it.

[@rpgislife]

Guardians 3: "Wanna see me make you cry?" Slyfer: "Wanna see me do it again?"

[@beatrixdobson4795]

This was incredible and so emotional. Didn't make it half way through the video before tearing up. Absolutely love Rocket

[@slyfer2812]

Thank you :)

[@Spud1189]

I know that this has been said before by others but it is incredible how much depth and personality a RACOON has in all three guardian movies.

[@amithjathin4772]

Rocket broke me with this film. Such beautiful edit.

[@JoseRivera-iw8se]

Rocket is one of the smartest beings in the galaxy. He lost his friends, gained a family, fought Titans and, more importantly, forgave himself. He’s earned his place in the universe. He’s the true Guardian of the Galaxy

all of them are the "true" guardians of the galaxy tho, but i get what you're saying

Best backstory out of all the marvel characters. Dark, sad, and complex. I love it

[@Vernomeno]

Animals man... that was the saddest Marvel stuff ever. And it came in an Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

[@music_holds_my_fading_soul]

This movie shredded my heart and I absolutely cried. When he saw the pups and he broke all over again, so did I.

[@jasonkmvang]

... watched the movie with my kids ... aged 1, 3, 5 ... both the older kids completely broke down and cried a few times asking the most sad questions... what a beautiful character...

[@logiclb]

That transition at 1:00 where the audio goes from slight echo to normal is so impactful. I'm hooked at that moment.

[@ProcesifyYT]

This is a story that broke me, your videos remain a big inspiration to me, and the emotions you managed to capture here were phenomenal, this was both beautiful and touching!

[@irateguardian]

'''And, usually, life takes more than it gives. But not today. Today it’s given us something. It has given us a chance'' What a beautiful script awaited Rocket. After such a painful past he got a second chance and his heart healed, becoming the most honorable guardian.

[@marissalassiter]

Very impactful video, I loved it. Rocket Raccoon is one of my favorites since the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie. I actually cried when I saw the flashbacks of Rocket’s past, it’s terrifying on what he went through.

[@abu-bakr9604]

Incredible edit and tribute for the saddest creature in the MCU, you captured all the emotional scenes in Rocket’s MCU journey. Good luck to you on your new journey as a professional video editor. 🎉

[@alexkertamus1998]

I literally just watched this last night and thought 20 min ago. How is slyfer2812 going to play with my emotions on this one... been a rocket fan forever, was always afraid to see how the MCU would do this. Thank you slyfer2812!!!

[@chottubhaey007]

[@shanecampbell7423]

I've been anxiously awaiting this. As usual, you did not disappoint. I'm ugly crying and have zero shame in it.

[@RealKyndleNance]

Rocket’s backstory legit made me cry and I don’t normally cry in movies. His arc throughout the MCU has been beautifully told. T’Challa (Black Panther) is my favorite but now I add Rocket has my deeply personal favorite character.

[@chrisblass4954]

I never thought a movie with a rabbit with spider legs and a talking raccoon could make me cry so much, beautiful edit my guy 😎👍

[@happywhite4208]

As always, Slyfer doesn`t disappoint. Great edit mate !

[@VladimiroXL]

Man, I just love you, Slyfer2812. What a touching and beautiful video of someone I didn't expect to love as well. You just know how to do it right. Thanks for this, man. You're a beautiful person.

"this story has been yours all along you just didn't know it" such a beautiful quote, such a beautiful movie, such a beautiful edit ❤

This movie will be forever stuck deep within my heart.

[@kylep5814]

I've been waiting for this.. from you specifically. I cried during the movie.. and I am again. I went to that movie because my job during a work retreat wanted me to hang back as the on call developer. I went into the movie with semi-low expectations. I did not expect this story... and I am thankful to James Gunn and his crew.

[@Bagouzee]

That was beautiful and emotinal edit about one of my favorite character of the MCU. Amazing job

[@michaelzauner7184]

This movie made me love Rocket and he is now my favorite character because of this. He deserved so much better 😢😢😢

[@B.WildeVideos]

Beautiful, emotional, perfect. Rocket's story is so powerful!

[@ccaddell65]

I believe when Lylla said "There are the hands that guides the hands", means the Lylla met The One Above All. Stated that He was watching over Rocket the whole time. Everything that happened to him was meant to happen him. Just like when Spider-Man met The One Above All, where Spider-Man questioned why did he become Spider-Man and no one else did. And how his actions affected everyone else lives.

[@TheHighEvolutionary.]

Ok

[@anilkumarmalviya7038]

This is so good and probably the best tribute to Rocket ❤

[@loicalex]

This is one of the most personal movie ever directed. Hats off to James Gunn to let his heart speak and thank you to MCU to let him do it. Yes I cried too, I cried a lot. Lastly thank you Slyfer

[@Luc42]

The MCU has so few gems nowadays. I struggle to care about it at the best of times and honestly haven't watched or paid attention to much of it in the last 3 or so years. I can happily say that Guardians 3 did not disappoint. Rocket is the heart and soul of this movie. It's the loss of Lylla, Teefs, and Floor that breaks him. And even though we all knew it was coming, it was still a gut punch. "This story was yours all along. You just didn't know it."

[@AdrianGarcia-cj7ux]

That last line gets to me every. single. time. From Vol. 1 - 3. We've been following along his path.

[@whoarj08]

Rocket is truly one of the best written characters in the MCU and i truly thank James Gunn for making a character and guardians of the galaxy 3 made one of the best origin stories oat and this tribute hit deep cause i relate to rocket a lot

[@DavidSmith-bc8nk]

Tremendously beautiful and beautifully tremendous. Rocket really has had one of the best character arcs of any MCU character and it seems a shame he might not be as much of a focus going forward.

[@SebastianAceFawkes]

Honestly, One of my Top 5 Favorite Arcs in the MCU

[@Bjhorn279]

there you go breaking my heart again wiith another eemotionally fantastic edit! Thank you once again for the work you do!

[@thatstheway2429]

One of the best arcs in the entire MCU. Portrayed beautifully in all 3 movies, as well as being one helluva sidekick to Tony and Thor in the Thanos saga.

[@mollykoenig7009]

Rocket has been my favorite MCU character since 2014, when Guardians came out. He's something else, man.

[@checkrideair]

What an incredible tribute for what I'd argue is the best character ever made. The trauma, psychology and honestly everything about Rocket was done so incredibly well, the pain, hurt, feeling it was all there. it cuts deep with Rocket, when Vol. 1 came out we saw bits of Rocket's trauma but never knew why. with Vol. 2 a bit more trauma, some of it piecing together but we still didnt get the full picture, and Vol. 3, you understand every single piece of his trauma, everything suddenly clicks, we understand why he never considered himself a racoon, we understand so much. and to rewatch Vol. 1 and 2 after seeing 3 was honestly difficult ngl, knowing what Rocket had been through... just incredible. Mad props to the writers who thought way ahead and spent the time to get it right, and mad props on the tribute, got me tearing up and everything lol.

[@dunkbuscusgaming7016]

When Drax says Kill him you can hear the anger in his voice like he's almost more angry and hateful towards the High Evolutionary than even Rocket because Rocket is Drax's friend and after seeing what was done to him, he hates the High Evolutionary almost as much as he hated Thanos and Ronin.

[@MaddyWinkel]

You are the best for editing! :')

[@TheHighEvolutionary.]

Yes it is perfect!

[@kblixt]

[@DAEDMAN55]

Guardians of the galaxy is the best marvel film series. I felt emotional at every film and have hit some personal life stuff each time. This is the quality story telling I expect and people say they are bored of Marvel movies but never herd a single person say they are bored of Guardians.

[@slickdick1807]

That and Deadpool for sure

[@afshan727]

Awesome tribute as always!!! Been waiting for this ever since I watched the movie.

[@jnhensley09]

Thanks, I wanted to come back to work bawling my eyes out 😭 Just goes to show that you never really KNOW someone's story or what they've been through to get to where they are now. And that, while your past tells you where you've been, you are not chained to it and it doesn't have to define who you are.
