Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 premiered with great acclaim, much like what was expected from the James Gunn film. The final chapter in the Guardians of the Galaxy saga focused on new threats to the universe, new interesting villains, and the same spirited Guardians in a fight against evil. Like the previous films, this one was also subtly divided between all the characters.However, after the events of Avengers: Endgame and other such entries in the Marvel universe featuring the Guardians, the new film put a lot of focus on two characters, Nebula and Rocket Racoon, who has been a funny character up to this point.However, as indicated by the trailer of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, this new film did delve into the tragic backstory of Rocket Racoon, showing the unexpected backstory of the gun-wielding, foul-mouthed character. In an unexpected twist, fans were left in tears while witnessing this heart-wrenching story.Many fans have since then come forward on social media sites like Twitter to describe their take on the story and its effect on moviegoers.Thielavision@thielavision"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" is the first movie to make me understand what it feels like to be "triggered."

Rocket was introduced in Guardians of the Galaxy and has since appeared as a fun character with little regard for those around him. His stealing habits and sharp words have made him a fan-favorite, especially after his adventures with the Angel-Pirate in Avengers: Infinity War. But Marvel has the great ability to turn stories and arcs around, especially through backstories. That is exactly what happened with Rocket Raccoon, who turned out to be quite different from what viewers had envisioned.
