The fact that nebula said that what happened to rocket was worse then what thanos did to her is incredibly telling

[aidensimbron]

This explains why in other movies he was fascinated with mechanical limbs similar to the ones his friends had. That is sad

*"The Story Was Yours All Along, You Just did Not know"* ❤

I was in tears and still cry any time I think about him saying "Hurts" it breaks my heart!

[shadowraider]

This movie almost made me cry 3 times. Rocket became one of my favorites after this movie. Poor guy has been through a lot. I know things will get better for him. Love you, Rocket.

Man bradley cooper killed it mannnn..😭😭😭😭

[tonyg]

Never forget Lylla, Teefs, and Floor 🚀

[bryanstrange]

So fucking sad Rocket's first word was "hurts". 😢

[mannymuyo]

I used to joke that Rocket was my spirit animal. A love for guns, a prickish attitude and all the things that everyone loves about him. Then I researched his character. Then I watched Guardians Volume III. Like Rocket, I had someone like Lylla. And like Rocket, I lost her. His story didn't just hit close to home. It kicked down the door. I buried my feelings for years but now like Rocket said, "I'm done running.". I got more therapy out of watching Rocket's story than anything. Love the movie. Love this video.

That wail of pain was far too much for me to handle. Immediately broke down.

[chazellison]

This movie was brutal. His FIRST WORD as a conscious, self-aware being was “hurts” 😭

[bassmandan]

“Why didn’t he ever tell us about this?”


Because Mantis, one of the ways to deal with past trauma is through repression. When rocket escaped from OrgoCorp, he literally and figuratively ran away from his trauma and his trauma entered his subconscious. From his perspective, he wasn’t trying to hide his past from Groot and eventually the Guardians, but he was supressing the memories to the point where he wouldn’t even know what to say. Rocket is the perfect example of repressed trauma and why people who’ve experienced trauma rarely open up to other people about their trauma.

This movie destroyed me. I didn't think it would be so extremely dark. Best Movie of the Year

[allenvaas]

"You were right. the sky is beautiful and it is forever."

[Aluhcav]

"Your story may not have the happiest of beginnings, but it is what you choose to be, that makes you who you are."

[Lilith_]

So many moments just crushed me during this movie. When baby rocket says “hurts, ” when the high evolutionary says insults him and says “you couldn’t figure out that?”, when Rocket screams after Lyla dies, when Floor panics and starts repeating the same thing over and over, when rocket sees the baby raccoons. Ugh I’ve always been an animal lover all my life so I was a mess all the way through.

[jemax]

This makes me cry every single time, not because of rocket, but because this happens everyday

[WKYs]

I am 40 years old. I have avidly consumed written, filmed and game fiction. Yet rarely has a story touched me like this. The "High Evolutionary" and what he did to Rocket and the others however? I bawled my eyes out!
There are some things you just do NOT do, to any sentient life you bring into the world. Yet they did.... and BOY, do I hate them for it.

[eddyspurlock]

This video rips my heart every time i watch it. The song is so powerful by itself by with the visuals it is brutal

[Shrekrules]

This is such a good edit, I wish it had more attention.
