Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 – 85% has become quite a success for Marvel. The tape was expected to be well received by fans, but since the current perception of the UCM is not the best, many experts assured that it would be a failure like Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania – 60% In the end, the film became an audience favorite, one of the most acclaimed, and a testament to James Gunn’s value to the company that he is now leaving to work at DC. One of the most valuable points of view is Rocket’s development and treatment, and although his scenes are stark and painful, they are also necessary for Sean Gunn to send an important message.
Rocket is one of the most important elements of Guardians of the Galaxy – 91%, but his past has always been a mystery to the public and even to his colleagues in fiction. Those familiar with the comics were well aware of his tragic life, but even that didn’t prepare them for how they adapted his story for the big screen. Rocket’s evasive and aggressive attitude was used more as a point of comedy than melodrama in the films, but james gunn I knew the third installment was the last chance to give this character his due place.
Since the return of the director for the last film was announced, information was leaked confirming that the story would focus on Rocket, and shortly afterwards it also became clear that the High Evolutionary, played by Chukwudi Iwuji , this time will be the main villain. When the first trailers were finally released, audiences were immediately thrilled with the prospect of seeing the character suffer, and some were so sure they would kill him that they made death threats and heavily criticized Gunn before the premiere. Did.
With animal rights becoming more and more important among the public, the film also had the task of creating a fair portrait of it and not falling into exaggeration or unnecessary exposition, something it achieved in spades. From the very first minutes of the film, where we are shown a completely feeble Baby Rocket in the hands of the villain, people were shocked and prepared for the worst. Thanks to a series of flashbacks, we finally discover the origins of this hero, but also how he became so lonely and apparently apathetic. Each new part of his story, from his apprenticeship to the friendships he develops with other modified animals, was sadder than the last, until we were shown the pivotal moment that changed him forever and transformed him into a higher evolutionary being. marked his hatred for.
Viewers cried and some even complained about how explicit these scenes were, especially for children who love these movies, but for others it was a necessary way to address a very important topic of animal abuse. is evil. The PETA association also congratulated the director for the way he has treated all the scenes which are really important to understand the transition that makes Rocket the true hero of this film. Bradley Cooper, who gave voice to the hero, also got a lot of praise for his work, but in this case we cannot forget Sean Gunn Who plays Rocket on the sets of the film.
The actor best known for Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life is sure that no other film with this power to captivate audiences and attract millions has done something for animal rights like this. in interview for phase zero (Via comicbook.com), the interpreter explained:
I’m not sure you can find a big movie, at least a big budget movie, that is more or a better advocate for animal rights.
While these scenes are unclear in a bloody sense, they are clear in terms of the emotional and psychological manipulations the High Evolutionary applies as they realize Rocket’s intelligence and sensitivity. While the little boy believes that by working hard he will prove his progress and win the affection of his creator, the lowly scientist has other plans for him, as he always believed it to be a test that worked halfway . Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 It’s supposed to be a send-off for these characters, but Rocket’s new role within the group opens up a lot of possibilities for seeing him in future installments, even if the franchise as we know it is over.
