"AND THEN HE ACTIVED HIS GRAVITY BOOTS AND WAS NO LONGER HANGING TO THE CEILING AND HE SAID "NAMES ROCKET...ROCKET RACCOON" AND SHOT THAT ASSHOLE"
I really love this scene because the very first time Rocket heard the word 'raccoon' was in 2014 and always saw it as an insult since he had been called only insults like 'rodent' 'vermin' and he doesn't like being called that for that it makes him feel like a lower-life form and nothing more than just an experiment gone wrong.
But in 2026 (the year gotg3 takes place in), he sees who he is, AFTER 12 YEARS he stops seeing the word raccoon as an insult or something to be ashamed of. but instead, he embraces it, he eccepts it, he admitts it.
He says it as if it's his last name which is a kickass last name since no one outside of earth knows what a raccoon is and will just see it as his last name nothing more and nothing less.
Gosh, how much I love this talking raccoon 🥲
