Since "Avengers 3", the Marvel Cinematic Universe has ushered in an "era of sacrifice".
Superheroes such as Kamora, Black Widow, Vision, and Iron Man have sacrificed one after another, becoming the front wave that makes way for the back wave.
But Iron Man will definitely not be the last major hero to sacrifice, and the next superhero who dies in Iron Man's footsteps is likely to be the core member of the Guardians of the Galaxy - Raccoon Rocket.
Here's some key evidence that rockets may die in Guardians of the Galaxy 3.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > (1) Rockets are aging</h1>
In terms of biological age, the Rockets may be Marvel's shortest-lived superhero. In reality, wild raccoons live for a few years, and pet raccoons can live up to 20 years old.
Rocket's character is based on a British pet raccoon named "Oreo", who died shortly after turning 10 last year.
Although the rocket was modified, it also inherited the shortcomings of the raccoon's short lifespan. In the movie "Guardians of the Galaxy", Rocket once said that he did not have a long lifespan.
In fact, the Rockets have been fighting in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for 9 years. It is likely that the bear has reached middle age.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >(2) Tragedy is the core of the Guardians of the Galaxy series</h1>
The style of the Guardians of the Galaxy series of movies is comedy, but the core is tragic. People with soft hearts, listening to the experiences of several protagonists, are estimated to cry out in pain.
Xingjue's mother died early and was abducted at an early age;
Kamora was adopted by the craziest warlord in the universe at an early age, and has committed countless sins over the years;
Rocket was originally a carefree raccoon, but was transformed into a small monster and had to live with a tree man;
Drax's wife and children are murdered, and they are desperate for revenge.
"Death" is also an unchanging element of the Guardians of the Galaxy series of films.
Guardians of the Galaxy 1 Groot is sacrificed. The director confirms that although Little Groot was born in the embers of the original Groot's life, he is not the original Groot, he is more like the son of the original Groot.
Guardians of the Galaxy 2 sacrifices bravely. Star-Lord's true father left him.
The death of the core members of Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is inevitable.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > (3) The director's real hammer "Guardians of the Galaxy 3" will have important role sacrifices</h1>
Although the production of Guardians of the Galaxy 3 has not yet begun, director James Gunn, who is keen to interact with fans on social media, has begun to warm up for the film.
Previously, when the roll director answered the fans' questions on Ins, it was confirmed that there would be a character who would be sacrificed in "Guardians of the Galaxy 3", although it did not directly reply to who was sacrificed, but under careful analysis, it was likely that the rocket was hit.
As the finale of the series, "Guardians of the Galaxy 3" will most likely lose a more important role like "Avengers 4".
Among them, Star-Lord is the protagonist of the series, and the probability of sacrifice is the lowest;
Kamora and Groot have already died once, and the same scene should not be staged twice;
Drax, while also very popular, did not give fans the same impact as the Rockets' sacrifice.
Relatively speaking, the probability of rocket sacrifice is the greatest.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > rockets have gradually taken over Star-Lord's place</h1>
Rockets are one of the most successful superheroes Marvel has created.
In Guardians of the Galaxy 2, the Rockets already assumed the responsibilities of some of the team leaders. When Star-Lord is trapped in Iago's false fatherly love, bystander Qing's rocket becomes a key player in the team.
Whether it's 700 interstellar jumps to support Star-Lord, or stun the Kamo pull to order the ship to sail away from the planet Iago.
The Rockets have gradually developed a leadership temperament that star-lords do not have.
In "Avengers 4", the Rockets struggled to hold on for 5 years when the original members of the Guardians of the Galaxy were all turned to ashes, and became the real leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
In short, the role of Rocket is infinitely close to maturity and perfection. But Marvel can't tolerate a second hero besides Captain America who is close to perfection.
Guardians of the Galaxy 3 will be rockets and our farewells.
