Somehow I stumbled upon the plot of Guardians Of The Galaxy 3, and so I found out what they've did with Rocket and Lylla in the end of the day, and that stuff made me really darn sad.
After some more searching I found out that Telltale games actually killed off Lylla too, and, man... What the hell?
I might remember the short series from the 80's too much too fondly, but, hey, Mike Mignola worked on it. And I guess ever since I went to the very first Guardians Of The Galaxy in the movies, I felt that this new version of Rocket won't end well. I can't say I dislike it much, but I'm just a bit too fond of the original character. Didn't like the dynamic with Groot either.
It's all and all just another case of something I liked at some point being pounded down by corporative remake, sequel, whatever. But for some reason reading the story of Guardians 3 really kicked me in the feelings.
Besides, I think it just doesn't work. Marvel already has a perfect character who lost everything. He is known as The Punsiher. Heck, I said it right after I watched Guardians 1 years ago in the cinema: for the new Rocket character to work properly, it gotta be unrated blood and hatred. And the director should be someone like Lars Von Trier. As it is now, it just punches you in the face without offering anything in return. And I think these kind of stories have been on the rise lately. Just the other month I couldn't have more of the Asterigos: Curse Of The Starts, because its plot doesn't allow you to kick the heck out of the guy who is responsible for all the pain and suffering that happened in the game.
Anyway, I'm just rambling by now... but I felt really down today, gotta write it out.
