While all members of the Guardians of the Galaxy have a bright past, the origin of the Jet Raccoon has not been studied as much as some other MCU characters. The first trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy. 3 was shown at Comic-Con in San Diego, with one description of the footage (via Variety) explaining details such as Gamora, leading the Reavers, Adam Warlock’s introduction and the origin story of the Rocket.
Throughout his time in the MCU, Rocket was a unique character as the only anthropomorphic talking raccoon. Introduced in the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie, Rocket worked as a bounty hunter with his tree-like friend and partner Groot. By the time Rocket was captured by the Nova Corps at the beginning of Guardians of the Galaxy, he already had an extensive criminal past, including acts of theft, mercenary activities, arson and repeated escapes from custody. However, he later became one of the founders of the film’s titular team and turned into a hero, albeit sometimes problematic.
The origin of the Rocket is only briefly mentioned once in Guardians of the Galaxy. As part of the prisoners of the Nova Corps, Officer Roman Dey read the background of the Rocket. He explained that the Rocket was “the result of illegal genetic and cybernetic experiments on a lower form of life.” Simply put, initially he was an ordinary raccoon, which alien scientists used for their experiments on the planet Half-World. Thanks to its improvements, the Rocket has developed a higher level of intelligence. However, the scientists’ mistreatment also made Rocket more chaotic and violent until he escaped and became a mercenary. Although the origin of the Rocket has never been fully shown on screen in the MCU, it is likely to play a big role in the plot and emotional core of Guardians of the Galaxy. 3.
The importance of the origin of the Rocket in Guardians of the Galaxy. 3
Although the Complete Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. Trailer 3 has not yet been published online, the images have already proved that the Guardians of the Galaxy triquel will widely cover the origin story of the Rocket. Perhaps the action takes place shortly before the start of the scientists’ experiments. A flashback in the trailer shows a hand reaching out to an unmodified baby Rocket. This emphasis on the character’s story is in line with director James Gunn’s statement at Comic-Con that Rocket will be the “driving force” in Guardians of the Galaxy 3. Being the only talking raccoon in the universe due to dangerous genetic experiments, Gunn explained that Rocket must be secretly very sad, which makes him the key to the heart of the Guardians of the Galaxy. 3.
In addition, “Guardians of the Galaxy. 3 one could use the history of the Rocket to contrast the origin of Adam Warlock. In the sequel to Guardians of the Galaxy. In the scene with 2 credits, Adam Warlock will be the main villain in the next part. To take revenge on the Guardians, Aisha, the high priestess of a genetically modified alien race called the Overlord, created Adam. He had to become even more perfect and powerful than the current Ruler, which marked a step forward in their evolution. On the contrary, the Rocket was the result of illegal experiments and is still considered a “lower form of life.” In Guardians of the Galaxy, the Rocket even calls itself “some kind of little monster” because of scientists’ experiments.
The upcoming sequel may compare Rocket and Adam Warlock to explore topics about genetic experiments and what makes a person good or “perfect.” Although the Guardians of the Galaxy films have not yet fully explained the origin of the Rocket Raccoon in the MCU, it is clear that Guardians of the Galaxy. 3 finally provides an opportunity to do this.
