Why’d they have to do this?

Marvel Zombies bringing in Rocket Raccoon (my favorite guardian and my favorite animal) just to immediately do the whole layer by layer overkill shit killed my mood the rest of the show, like of all the creative violent things you could do with all the variety of creatures and anatomies in the mcu with this rated ma setting and the most explicit thing is raccoon gore. I don’t know if I’m the only one but this just made me sad tbh.

it’s a horror series that’s not canon.

lots of people’s favorite characters are killed.

CHILL_MAN272025-10-19 05:26

It is canon, just not to the main 616/199999 universe

BaconHammer90002025-10-19 05:27

so like i said - not canon.

hell20_2025-10-19 05:33

It's canon due to the multiverse

CHILL_MAN272025-10-19 15:29

By that logic, Fantastic Four: First Steps isn’t canon. But it still happend it unlike this, they will interact with the main universe. there’s a massive difference between “non-canon” and “another universe”

Didn't he die in pretty much the exact same way as Kate?

Yea its a marvel zombies project... its all for shock value with no purpose.

Ubergoober1662025-10-19 05:35

I mean, they also vaporized Kate. In the first episode. She's become a huge fan favorite even though we only really saw her in the Hawkeye show. Elseworlds stories like this are the only place they can do stuff like this and get away with it. They'd never vaporize Rocket or Kate in the mainline MCU.

Because it follows the same rules as what if, mainly if we can't use the original voice actor for the project we are much less likely to involved them (not a 1 to 1 rule but there's a reason Happy Hogan was in so many season 2 episodes)

Guess they didn't have Cooper or Diesel.

I really do not like the "zombie" stories Marvel and DC tried to do.
Total failure.

Well, at least he’s forever with Lylla, Teefs and Floor…

Art-Lover-Ivy2025-10-19 06:06

This is just one of those things where if it’s not your cup of tea, it’s not for you. Marvel Zombies is not just happy to show superheroes dying in over-the-top ways, it’s actually like the whole point of the series 😂

Bc it was emotionally impactful and power scaled the threat.

I hear racoon burger is making a comeback in some countries. 🍔

The show warned you that it was rated MA. It wasn’t meant to be watched by children.

Maxxarcade2025-10-19 21:54

It upset me a lot too. I only watched because I was hoping to see Rocket be one of the heroes/survivors, and it's the only new content with him since Vol. 3.

Hopefully this isn't his final appearance in any movies/shows, cause it's not a good thing to remember him by.

varanusprime2025-10-19 23:01

I think just to keep the main cast as concise as possible (and not have to pay Bradley Cooper to voice him). If Rocket was alive he’d be pretty hard to stop in the zombie apocalypse. Small, fast, and surgical with any weapon he can get his hands on

ContentAssumption2042025-10-20 02:21

I think Marvel Studios just can’t find a good Bradley Cooper impressionist. Rocket is one of the few major characters to never get a line in What If.
