‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ makes an all-important scene from ‘Vol. 2’ even more pivotal

MCU fans are in awe of the depth 'Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3' lends to an exchange in the sequel between the franchise's two tough guys.

It’s hard to forget the riveting scene when Yondu Udonta confronts Rocket Raccoon in Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2. However, the significance of the exchange between the pair has taken on even greater meaning with the release of the final installment of the franchise.

An MCU fan took to the r/MarvelStudios subreddit to share how the revelations about Rocket’s early life in the new film make Udonta’s powerful and empathic speech in the sequel even more touching.

The most electrifying aspect of the scene was how deeply Udonta (Michael Rooker) was able to empathize and identify with Rocket (Brandley Cooper). The cosmic marauder had the insight to see past the little procyonid’s bravado. He broke the lonely spell that held Rocket captive for years in an audacious moment of vulnerable self-disclosure.

One Redditor rated the scene as one of the finest speeches in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Another fan beautifully captured Udonta’s powers of discernment in a single quote.

The masterful storytelling at the heart of the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise offered some fans a lasting moment of emotional liberation and saw them revisiting past moments of the films with fresh eyes.

Still, another fan was in awe of Udonta and extolled his hero journey as the finest in the Marvel universe.

Yondu’s words cut through the cold armor that concealed Rocket’s severe emotional wounds, and in revealing the truth about the angry quadruped, he helped a lot of MCU fans feel seen, too. 

Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3 is currently showing in theatres.
