This scene, along with both scenes of Rocket and Quill alone on the Milano have a beautiful synergy with one another. The first being Rocket taunting Quill about going off with Ego and Quill responding “Are you trying to make everyone hate you? Because it’s working.” and the little sneer Rocket gives. Rocket wants to keep everyone away so that he doesn’t have that hole filled, but he doesn’t quite know it yet. This scene here, with Yondu telling Rocket like it is: Rocket’s scared of being close to people, even though it’s the only thing he wants out of life. But it’s this dressing down that opens Rocket’s eyes to seeing that a future full of close friends and family is possible. The funeral on the ship then has Rocket reconciling with Quill, and seeing all of the Ravagers come and honor their fallen brother as one of them, even after he messed up and broke the code. Yondu was worthy of it, and it told Rocket that he too was worthy of the same kind of affection.
Michael Rooker is a brilliant actor. In this scene he displayed two emotions at the same time: wrath and sorrow, with one face. The wrath against the past, that happed to him and Rocket, the unfairness of life, and sorrow for both of them, for being injured deep.
I think it’s more of Yondu being past all of it at this point in his life, and seeing where Rocket is. Yondu had his time to be bitter and angry and push everyone away because of the hurt. But he found the Ravagers, and found a family. He found Quill and for the first time in his life, cared more about Quill’s wellbeing than getting paid. He opened up his heart to all of them, and got that void filled. Now here he is with Rocket, seeing someone in that same spot, and is saying (with about as much sentimentality and sensitivity that a guy like Yondu can muster) all of the things he wished he could go back in time and tell himself. Luckily for him, the Guardians, and eventually the entire universe, it’s exactly what Rocket needed to hear.
After seeing Volume 3, this makes Yondu's statement that the scientist who created him not caring about him seems like as much of an understatement as him calling Ego a jackass.
1:01 Have to give the animators and Bradley cooper for managing to make “I’m serious, dude!” Sound and look threatening and incredibly vulnerable at the same time.
This hit me like a ton of brinks when I first heard this speech. Not just because of its solid tone or the absolutely stellar acting by Michael Rooker. But as a man who was an outcast from his family and left with that great big hole in the center of his soul and fear of being close to people I genuinely had a moment of reflection and catharsis. In hindsight it’s hilarious to think about that a movie with a talking raccoon did that to me but there it is. Yondu is 100% correct about Rocket and what being abandoned does to a man. The whole through the center and the fear of love because of the fear of being hurt again is a very real thing. Didn’t even try to open myself up to people until I was damn near thirty and even near forty I still have a hard time not over reacting with anger whenever I feel even the slightest bit vulnerable. I’ve chased away more friends and lovers than I care to remember because of that damn black hole. So speaking from experience, Rocket and Yondu are very well written and realistically portrayed given their past.
Yondu play the bad boy mob boss but he's probably the nicest character in the franchise along with Lylla. Yondu's speech would probably used by me if i have to help him overpassing his inner pains
No doubt. When he appears in any film/TV, it seems like he's always playing the same character, basically typecast as Rooker/bad guy. Except he's not, after watching his portrayals you realize his characters aren't nearly the same. That's actually a very difficult thing to pull off, b/c despite the Rooker voice or his looks, he's convincingly Yondu and you forget it's him. Testament to good writing as well, I see why James Gunn and him work well together.
Just recently watched guardians of the Galaxy vol.2 yesterday and I can’t believe I forgot about this scene, jumping back to this after so long this scene really hits hard.
rocket looks so heard at the end, like he finally met someone who actually understands him and knows how to actually get through to him.
After seeing Guardians Volume 3, this scene hits even harder now.
Rocket's scream in 3 messed me up man 😢
Not to mention the scene in the first guardians where he says well I didn't ask to get made
@@AmyBlackRoseCenayeah the bar scene..... i was near tears then, after watching vol3 and rewatching everything the bar scene hits sooo hard man....
Makes me realize what links Yondu, Rocket and Starlord, they are all three orphans one way or another.
Orphans not just abandoned, but betrayed and tormented by.
and goot
That is powerful. Rocket found out that he isn't so alone, and that he is actually loved.

And Remember Michael Rooker is acting off of a character who isn't even there with him.
But you 100% buy that he's talking to Rocket.
Michael Rooker absolutely crushes this

Thats deep man;
like you said, having this reflexion after watching by a blue alien and a raccon its amazing
Yondo as one of the best characters in the series hands down he makes the films so richer with how he can play with our heart strings
Yondu play the bad boy mob boss but he's probably the nicest character in the franchise along with Lylla.
Yondu's speech would probably used by me if i have to help him overpassing his inner pains
1:00 Because you’re me!
What kind of a peer are we
This hits different now.
@@chrisdonovan9872 the kind that’s gonna fight a planet
@@chrisdonovan9872Ken A kind to go fight a planet I reckon. All right- wait fight or what?
I know who You are! Because You are me. Thats line makes me hold My tears....
Yondu... best Dad EVER...
awho else is here after Guardians Of The Galaxy VOL 3
Wouldnt dare watch that after i heard of the animal cruelty. Couldnt bear watch rocket being tortured. Nope, im out.
@@jimbojv75one of the best marvel movies I have seen, but yeah, the animal cruelty aspect is really heavy.
This is the equivalence to Uncle Phil and Will

I couldn’t fucking imagine putting up a performance like this against a plush toy who is cgi but it becomes magic
The best kind this was rockets trillogy
Thank God Yondu *DIDN’T* bring up Rocket losing his girlfriend. Otherwise, Rocket probably would have shot him
So emotional
The kind that's about to go fight a planet, I reckon.
Groot’s little vomit 😂
I watch Vol 3 about Rocket sad origin 😢
Catra, Blitzo and Loona would relate to these two
Oh absolutely
Guys could you use a sister figure? 🤣
😢🥲
I would have had Quill in his last moment say Captain to Rocket, wait that already happened.
There you go liberal universe pronouns.. 🤣 multiverse... 🤣🤣🤣
Multiple universes.
