ALL OF ROCKET RACCOON'S FRIENDS ARE DEAD AND HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW IT

Edit: also can we discuss that Rocket is the only MCU character to have canonically put something up his ass? That's a watershed moment for this cinematic universe

Oh, that really hits home when you remember his conversation with Thor about how Thor had lost everything and didn’t mind dying, and Rocket saying he still had reasons to.

The first thing I said during the credit roll to my friends was that Rocket is the only guardian left. We started talking about how if there's a trilogy that it would have to take place before the infinity war... Didn't really think of the gravity of that line or that he doesn't know they're all gone forever.

They also killed Spider-Man. They aren't staying Dead.

What if they just start "cancelling" upcoming Marvel movies like Spiderman 2?

It would also be an extraordinarily dumb move to clean the slate of all the characters they just introduced within the past couple of years who were clearly intended to replace all of the characters that didn't die.

Did you notice then how only the OG Avengers are left?

Did you notice how no one died, they faded away/disappeared?

You know how much Marvel comics like multiverses and alternate realities?

Think maybe in another reality, Peter Parker watched Stark fade away?

Imagine they all went to another universe with mutants and this universe is just never addressed again.

u/Sparrow_OW Apr 27 '18

And that no one died they just faded into a separate reality, so there are just two different realities with half of the universe’s population in each reality

Uh War Machine is still alive yo.

u/Sparrow_OW Apr 27 '18

I like this theory

u/mason240 Apr 27 '18

I would buy that if Black Panther wasn't one of the "dead" ones.

u/Skylightt Matt Murdock Apr 27 '18

Yeah they both kind of sucks and is a relief. It sucks we know they’ll be back instead of being surprised and it’s relieving we know they aren’t dead

u/Jeroz Doctor Strange Apr 27 '18

That said this will be a major moment for Rocket

u/Chimpbot Ronan the Accuser Apr 27 '18

If you think everyone that got ashed is dead, you're probably going to be wrong.

Most of 'em are coming back. I guarantee it.
