"AND THEN HE ACTIVED HIS GRAVITY BOOTS AND WAS NO LONGER HANGING TO THE CEILING AND HE SAID "NAMES ROCKET...ROCKET RACCOON" AND SHOT THAT ASSHOLE"

I really love this scene because the very first time Rocket heard the word 'raccoon' was in 2014 and always saw it as an insult since he had been called only insults like 'rodent' 'vermin' and he doesn't like being called that for that it makes him feel like a lower-life form and nothing more than just an experiment gone wrong.

But in 2026 (the year gotg3 takes place in), he sees who he is, AFTER 12 YEARS he stops seeing the word raccoon as an insult or something to be ashamed of. but instead, he embraces it, he eccepts it, he admitts it.

He says it as if it's his last name which is a kickass last name since no one outside of earth knows what a raccoon is and will just see it as his last name nothing more and nothing less.

Gosh, how much I love this talking raccoon 🥲

Name’s Rocket, ROCKET RACCOON.

[trashpandaorigins]

he’s just a lil guy <3

[trashpandaorigins]

I love Rocket so much 🤧💛

[trashpandaorigins]

the scene in gotg vol 3 where rocket finds the baby raccoons absolutely wrecked me. he finally discovered that he truly was a raccoon, before he was torn apart and made into something else. the way he tenderly gathered them all into his arms and made sure none of them fell was heart wrenching yet so sweet to watch

[trashpandaorigins]

Rocket singing along the lyrics of Creep, especially "i want a perfect body, i want a perfect soul" hit so much harder when you learn his backstory 😭😭

[trashpandaorigins]

Ultimately, Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is about recovery. Everyone at the end dancing…even some of the most tortured ones among them…Nebula and Rocket, who were pulled apart limb by limb and were spit on, told that they were worth nothing…they recovered, and they’re happy. And I think that’s one of the most beautiful things a movie can be about.

I think it's hilarious that for the last 9 years Rocket saying "im not a raccoon" was assumed to be some deep rejection of self when in reality the man just had no clue what a fuckin raccoon was.

Nebula (watching Peter before GotGVol3): He's an idiot!

Nebula (watching Peter during/after GotGVol3): Wait! He's MY idiot!!!

It really is good to have friends.

I know you play like you’re the meanest and the hardest but actually you’re the most scared of all. I know you steal batteries you don’t need, and you push away anyone who’s willing to put up with you because just a little bit of love reminds you how big and empty that hole inside you actually is.
