Outside of this, the original mini, MvC3, like one issue of DnA's GoTG, and that one episode in Avengers EMH, he's been drawn like shit constantly.

Weirdly enough he looked reasonably good in the later issues of Bendis's run. His long torso made him look suitably alien.

I do dislike they tried turning him into a psychopath. He was like the nicest member of the guardians under DnA

I can accept the movie gave him a different personality, but the comics are not the movies, and Bendis went even harder on it. Movie Rocket is just an asshole. Bendis Rocket is a psychopath

>>92486601
Most comic artists draw humans and only humans. A lot of them can draw vehicles and buildings. But animals? Unless it's one they are w around every day they are hopeless at it and seemingly can't be bothered to pick up a reference book. I'm seriously considering gifting a copy of my favorite How To Draw Wildlife book to Marvel with instructions to lend it to anyone who's going to draw Rocket.

Movie Rocket is an only an asshole on the exterior because he has a ton of emotional problems due to being experimented on and abused. He's coming around and is most likely going to be a pretty nice person to his friends in Infinity War/Vol 3.

Bendis Rocket isn't too bad, but he just copied what the movie puts on the table but without understanding why and adding a larger emphasis on killing shit.

There's a tad bit too much "Blam. Murdered ya", but I like when those moments are done well.

>>92489728
In his original mini he was a space sheriff, in DnA he was a grizzled veteran of the space wars, and later he was either an asshole adventurer or a depressed loner just trying to get along. Movie Rocket has more depth than any of his previous portrayals but I do miss the space sheriff days.

Movie Rocket's tech skills are so good he could easily make a living repairing and customizing tech for people but doesn't. It seems likely that didn't work out because people are prejudiced against his odd appearance.

>>92489728
>I've read/watched essentially everything with this character in i
Well, same here. Ewing explains it pretty well in Rocket #1 -- Rocket used to be noble, a guardian for his planet who only had eyes for his girl. This carried over to DnA - he was smarter than he was angry, carrying the title of the best strategist in the universe. He followed Peter intently, and he was capable enough that when the group disbanded he raised to be the new leader. When the group gets together again, Rocket gives Peter his helmet saying "here, sir." I think saying "sir" is pretty important, as it's something modern rocket would never do. It shows Rocket is content with his position and he battles on diligently, without complaining. That's the Rocket I love.

After the movie came out (although videogames had already portrayed him this way) he became a psychotic killer who for some reason forgot his planet of origin (which makes no sense) and hates to be called a raccoon (which makes no sense, because he read the Bible of Halfworld). Now you might be thinking "anything related to the original mini is no longer canon! Well, in Young's mini he finds the bible again, so fuck off. Suddenly, out of nowhere, he has a fucking LEAGUE of ex girlfriends, because this rocket is a womanizer who sleeps with whoever he finds. Lylla? Who is that? Oh, it doesn't matter.

Also, he went from being a hero to antihero. Now he's a master at picking locks and finds himself in prison all the time (cause it happened in the movie once!) and he met Groot in a prison, where he realized he was the only one who could understand his language. Again, this doesn't make sense, because Groot didn't lose his speech until halfway through the Guardians.

What the movie did, reducing his character to an angry animal who hides his vulnerabilities, is horribly one dimensional. If you prefer that then you're clearly a casual who started out with that version.

>>92489952

He's 100% right. Movie Rocket's backstory strongly informs his personality, unlike DnA Rocket who was just a quirky meme character.

>>92489562
>>92489728
Man, why did Bendis's run have to get more consistently good art than DnA's run?

There were multiple times Rocket stopped looking at all like a racoon (looked more like a beaver by the end of Thanos Imperative)

And then there were those times they got some really terrible artist to do two separate arc climaxes (the arc where Magus apparently kills everyone and the arc where they save all the apparently dead guardians). They just switched to this one artist who was COMPLETE garbage then switched back right after.

>>92490108
How the fuck was he quirky? He was sober and dutiful. He quipped a lot less than movie rocket, who steals things cause he felt like it LOL!
Also, you judge "depth" according to how traumatized they are? If a character has moved on from his past, they are no longer profound?
Movie Rocket is pathetically one note. You can summarize him in a couple of words.

>>92489988
He did though.
Rocket in the DnA run was great, but he wasn't much more than a nice guy who likes big guns.

Movie guardians gave him a backstory that actively influences his personality and a character arc over the first two movies, something the DnA rocket never had. That Rocket was a pretty static character.

He's great, don't get me wrong, but yeah.

>>92489969
A character who hides inner vulnerability beneath a tough exterior is a staple of action movies and when done well - which it is here - is hardly one dimensional. Movie Rocket has a pathos none of his previous iterations had. He's a tormented little guy who is afraid all the time and terribly alone but instinctively pushes others away because he's been hurt so much. If done badly it can suck but here's he's well written and well acted.

>>92489969
>What the movie did, reducing his character to an angry animal who hides his vulnerabilities, is horribly one dimensional

Except DnA Rocket was just as one dimensional. The only thing that changed is his personality, as you said, going from content in his position to angry.

>If you prefer that then you're clearly a casual who started out with that version

I first read Rocket in Conquest and I don't really prefer either version. DnA's works in the story he's in, the movie version works well in that story. Should the comics have just lifted the movie traits with no explanation? No, but that's Marvel for you. For what it's worth I haven't cared for any comics featuring him post-Annihilators.

>>92490169
>You can summarize him in a couple of words

You can do the same with DnA Rocket.

That's all there is to him. How is that not quirky? Also he quipped plenty in GOTGv2.

>>92490278

Attempt what? That's the extent of his character. Rocket has no character arc in GOTGv2 beyond developing a begrudging respect for Cosmo.

>That's not a personality, retard. Seems like you need to reread the post you just quoted.

Nobody said anything about personality. I said you can summarize him in a few words, same as DnA Rocket.

>>92490220
Crazy as it sounds, there was a far better Rocket thread on /tv/ over the last few days than were having here. There was an almost certainly compete absence of angry shitposters.

Defining a character by his background is not a bad thing. Being able to summarize a character's behavior after he's been in two complete movies is also a good thing. A character with layers is by definition not one dimensional. If anything the old space sheriff and grizzled veteran takes on Rocket were far shallower since the character didn't change or grow one whit. Movie a Rocket is evolving from movie to movie and within the movies. This is a good thing unless you want characters who never change and grow.

> It shows Rocket is content with his position and he battles on diligently. That's the Rocket I love.

That's a fair assessment. Rocket seemed to REALLY respect mostly Peter, though. He was still pretty rude/angry to most other people. Especially Cosmo.

I do think he's going to display more respect in the movie, as he's been showing it in bits and pieces. He's only really an asshole because he doesn't want to have someone in his life that he gets attached to, only for them to push him away.

He hates being called a Raccoon because, although he doesn't know what they are, he knows that they are inferior to sentient life like the rest of the gang. (Everyone calls him vermin, rodent, etc.) He doesn't like being looked down "like some stupid little monster", so he just ends up rejecting the 'raccoon' label.

To be completely honest with you, I didn't really like the story behind the League of Ex-Girlfriends, I remember the story being about him using them for finances and shit rather than womanizing but I'm not sure.

>He went from hero to antihero. Now he's a master at picking locks and finds himself in prison all the time

In your own pic, you posted about how Raccoons usually steal shit and are ideal for robbing. That explains how he gets into prison. And wasn't he in a prison when he meets Star Lord? Being behind bars was a big part of his story, the movie didn't do that.

>What the movie did, reducing his character to an angry animal who hides his vulnerabilities, is horribly one dimensional.

He's an incredibly scared person who hides behind a guise of being angry to make up for his low self esteem about not being seen as a fellow sentient being. At the same time, he is also depressed due to his traumatic creation and lack of friends. At the end of the second movie, he learns that he doesn't need to hold up the facade because he's with family, and that his family will be there to give him the support he needs.

That's a pretty good character desu

>>92490584
Look man, if you want to have a reasonable discussion you should stop slinging the buzzwords and shooting insults in all directions. Even /tv/ occasionally has a good thread and the Rocket thread was one of them, mostly because people were talking about the character and not insulting each other.

>>92490678
>He hates being called a Raccoon because, although he doesn't know what they are
But he should know! There's no reason for him to have forgotten anything about Halfworld. He knew he was a raccoon before Bendis. He IS a raccoon. His "don't call me a raccoon" shtick is awful.

>Being behind bars was a big part of his story, the movie didn't do that.
Wrong. Rocket #1 reveals why he was in prison, and it's different than "I'm such a scoundrel, I'm used to breaking out of places every week" like they tried pushing after the movie.

>That's a pretty good character desu
Except it doesn't have anything to do with Rocket, just as Groot isn't a life-lover pacifist tree. It's stupid to create 100% new characters and give them their names.

>>92490128
>Man, why did Bendis's run have to get more consistently good art than DnA's run?
Late 00's cosmic setting was literally Marvel telling Giffen and DnA "Ok, you people write whatever but don't touch Earth. We're busy making the A listers fight each other".

What did you expect they would give them? The best artists? They didn't even expect the thing to get a cult following, let alone turn C and D listers into A and B listers.

>>92490773
We literally dont know where he came from in this canon

>>92490773
>Except it doesn't have anything to do with Rocket, just as Groot isn't a life-lover pacifist tree

They can alter an aspect of the personality here and there without it becoming a totally different character. Rocket is still a genetically modified raccoon and master strategist. Removing the knowledge of his origins it follows that he would be scared and angry. It's just taking him a different route and leaving room for him to grow. It's not the SAME character as the comics, but that is almost NEVER true of any comic book movie.

And don't even get me started on Groot, because he hasn't been a real character since Giffen and even Giffen's version was incredibly shallow. Gunn has taken more interest in Groot than anyone ever has.

The "Lying about being a monarch" was a shitty retcon out of nowhere, seeing how during GoTG Black Bolt's brother acknowledges his royalty and wisdom.

What's canon is canon. The point is Gunn created an OC and slapped the name "Groot" on it.

>>92491058

That Groot doesn't retain memories after 'dying'. He could be the old Groot on this turn around.

>>92490967
>There is no mystery. See >>92490916

Whether or not he came from Halfworld does not mean he's aware of his true origins. He knows he was a science experiment and that seems to be it.

>He was a borderline Doctor Doom monarch.

Yes, Giffen's version was a shallow "arrogant noble who reluctantly helps in the end" character.

>He had a very defined personality

Hardly. There are only 8 or 9 issues where he even talks. Groot was not a well-defined character by any means, in fact hardly any of the Guardians were outside of Starlin's usual suspects, and they got the least focus out of anyone.

>I'm a casual, so everybody else must be too

Mugga, before Gunn only three writers ever even touched Groot. Kirby, Giffen, and DnA. Kirby's was a one-off villain, Giffen's didn't go anywhere, and DnA's was nothing but a dumb and redundant team tank there to save the day when convenient. Gunn made him an actual character and gave his sacrifice consequences, unlike Giffen and DnA's versions which constantly blew up and regrew in a matter of days.

I'm sorry the fact that I don't hate the movies triggers you so bad but that doesn't make me a casual.

Don't go around implying nobody cared for the comics just because the movie wowed you.

>>92490773
Y'know, I hate the "Not muh" meme, but you are living proof that it really does happen. Movie Rocket is not the same as comic Rocket. This is true of practically every comic to movie translation of a character. That doesn't mean movie Rocket isn't a terrific character. You can enjoy him blazing away with oversized guns (the laser gatling he used in GOTG 2 was bigger than he was!), you can enjoy that he looks cute running around on all fours, you can appreciate his snark humor or you can enjoy the unique expected emotional depth of the character. Or you can hate him, which is also fine but won't change the fact that this is the best written and best acted movie comic character we've seen in years and he happens to be a CGI raccoon.

>>92491188
>What Gunn did was create a new character and use the comic's name to steal money.

Is he still a talking tree that travels the universe with his Raccoon buddy and can reconstitute himself from a splinter? Then he's not a new character, he's very clearly based on Giffen and DnA's version. Gunn just flipped some of their personality traits.

>Don't go around implying nobody cared for the comics just because the movie wowed you.

I didn't say or imply nobody cared for the comics you ass. I fucking care for the comics, I'm just able to separate them from what Gunn does in the movies.

>>92491283

>>92484258
Ha, shit, really? Nice to see he's getting work. He certainly deserves it.

>>92491373
That doesn't imply nobody cares for the comics. That's plainly stating that Gunn as a writer has taken more interest in Groot than Kirby or Giffen or DnA. Kirby's was a monster of the week and DnA's was practically an afterthought. Giffen is the runner-up but even he abandoned Rocket and Groot almost as quickly as he plucked them from obscurity.

Meanwhile Gunn's version is a developing (literally) character with thoughtful consequences to his unique abilities, and is an integral part of the team in both an active and passive role.

Nothing I have said is untrue or implies that nobody cares for the comics.

Voice acting is acting too, you know, and making a CGI raccoon as expressive as Rocket is a huge achievement. Then you have to make it act, which they did. Movie Rocket has far more depth than practically any of his comic equivalents, almost all of which were one dimensional. A tormented tough guy who actually grows and changes over the course of the movies is going to be deeper than a completely static comic book character. You just want him to be exactly like his comic counterpart - but which one? Every writer has a different take. You're really tilting at windmills here saying movie Rocket isn't really Rocket when even comic Rocket changes dramatically from comic to comic.

>>92491676

Well considering the bendis version came after the movie, obvs that one doesnt count here

>>92491888
What's your point then? His character pre movie never contradicted itself.

>>92487305
I think the end of Guardians 2 will work because Rocket will have a whole ton of new people to be an asshole to in Infinity War. The Guardians will (ironically) probably be the well-oiled, super-tight team who show up and roll heir eyes at the Avengers as they try to get over Civil War.

>>92491725
Yeees. Let's explore your assertion.
Original Rocket - space sheriff, rocket skates, pistols
DnA Rocket - suddenly a tactical genius, uses huge weapons, no rocket skates, good relationship with Pete
Skotty Young Rocket - violent, womanizing sociopath and thief
Bendis Rocket - one-note psychopath with a catch phrase
Post-Bendis Rocket - either a professional thief or a retired Guardian who doesn't want to get back into The Life

Every one is different. You're cherry picking the one version you like, who incidentally happens to be as shallow as the ink on the comic book page, and insisting that Movie Rocket has to be like that. Sorry, you don't get to make that decision. You're just going to have to bundle up your incoherent rage and live with it.

>>92491940
Avengers being a team is a stretch at this point.

>>92491940
I wonder if Rocket will learn to accept being called a racoon

I expect itll happen repeatedly

>>92484145
More like 'belongs in the trash'
Twee art is shit.

>>92492351
He doesn't like being compared to a lower life form. It's understandable. Eventually he may be able to accept the comment but I expect it'd take you a while to like being called, say, 'hairless ape'.

>>92492459
Exactly this

>>92492459
>It's understandable
Except for the fact that he is a raccoon so this character trait is fucking horrible.

>>92492009
Original Rocket - heroic, concerned about the safety of others, monogamous. his job and equipment are not "personality"
DnA Rocket - heroic, concerned about the safety of others, monogamous
All the other things you listed are after Bendis. I said "His character was perfectly well rounded before Bendis"
>insisting that Movie Rocket has to be like that.
Why adapt the character if you're just going to write him like an OC?
>You're just going to have to bundle up your incoherent rage and live with it.
Jesus, your arrogance spills out of the screen.

>>92492532
He's an Uplifted raccoon. Calling him that implies that he's an animal, which he isn't any more. What we did over millions of years his creators did in a very short time and you have to take that into consideration.

>>92492591
That's the pot calling the kettle black since you're insisting that the character has to be portrayed exactly the way you think it should. Sorry, you lose on this one.

>>92492649
You're using your headcanon as to why Rocket is offended. In the first movie he asked "what's a raccoon?" He just doesn't know.
I'm just saying that it's an unfunny idea that leaks onto the comics on top of it, so I hope it gets dropped quickly.

>>92492673
>Sorry, you lose on this one
Jesus christ stop typing like a douchebag on reddit. "Win"? What are you on?

>you're insisting that the character has to be portrayed exactly the way you think it should
All I said is "why adapt a character from comics if you're going to ignore the comics?" Might as well slap a different name on him. It's a perfectly valid question, /tv/.

>>92492591
>Monogamous

That's something that only Young touched on. Movies doesn't promote him as sexual

>>92492717
You do realize that virtually every movie-adapted character is significantly different from the comics. Why should Rocket be any different? What works in comics doesn't necessarily work in live action, which explains muted colors in costumes among other things.

>>92492692
Hes regularly shown to be upset when people tteat him like just an animal. At this point he knows racoons are non-sapient animals. Ergo he hates being called a raccoon

That's nice OP.

>>92492960
>defending being ashamed of the source material
Fuck off /tv/. I bet you liked the tazerface joke as well even though he's an actual character in the comics and nobody laughs at him.

>>92492998
You can't be serious

>>92493199
What?

>>92493199
Just ignore him. He's managed to shit up the thread pretty thoroughly with his autistic screeching.

>>92494006
If you want a hugbox defending the movies there are other sites you can go to.

>>92492963
Yep. He didn't take offense the first time because he didn't realize it was an insult. By the second movie he most likely still doesn't know what a raccoon is, but he knows Quill thinks it's a lower life form.

>>92492788
Rocket and Lylla were an item in the original mini and in the Annihilators backup feature this was confirmed. He also has/had an otter GF (not Lylla) in his new comic. Only Young portrayed him as a love 'em and leave 'em type, though, you're right about that.

>>92494434
Yeah, that's what I meant. I did not phrase that well, though.

>>92490916
Thank you! I remembered this from the movie but couldn't find a still of it.

What are some of the most prominent Rocket Raccoon comics, both good and bad?

All I read so far is the original 1985 comic which was fun but outdated

>>92483637

So try not to get rabies?

Probably not

>Bill Mantlo's miniseries (you read)
>Annihilation Conquest: Star-Lord

>Guardians of the Galaxy v2
>Thanos Imperative
>Annihilators backups

>Skottie Young's Rocket Raccoon
>Rocket Raccoon and Groot
>Rocket Raccoon: Grounded
>Guardians of Infinity
>All-New Guardians of the Galaxy (v4)
>Rocket by Al Ewing (ongoing)

pretty much the long and short of it

Why did they make Rocket such a flaming racist towards humans?

Why did they decide this was a good idea?

>>92495917
He's still a good boy.

>>92499116
He just hates really bad haircuts

>>92489594
>The movies turned Rocket into a cringe worthy prankster who hates if you call him a raccoon! Oh so quirky.

He's a total asshole who I guess we're supposed to like because he's sort of Cartman—gratuitously offensive to a ridiculous degree.
But in this more realistic scenario, that kind of character just becomes The Load. I actively hated the burden he was putting on the other characters.
They did give him a sympathetic side, but it was buried for me in just how many avoidable problems he caused for everyone else, and how nasty he got when anyone tried to call him on it.

>>92498741
Thanks, which ones are worth reading first?

He should get sat on.

They wanted to make him Rumble from league of legends.

Good idea.

>>92502068

Who would sit on him, though?

>>92498741
I think the Groot is also worth a read if you want to see more Rocket similar to Young's series.
