Let me start by saying, I don't think a film has ever made me cry this hard in my entire life.

I dunno why, but, holy fucking shit. I think this film might've traumatized me. I knew little before going into this movie, I just knew it was going to be a bit dark and sad from word of mouth, I didn't watch any previews or anything, I only had a poster or two I saw online to go by.

Literally the first scene into the movie I already had doubts if I should've even bothered watching it (in a more joking way ofc), but holy hell, it really did set the tone of just how dark and upsetting the movie would be.

Rocket's story is just so, so terrible for me. Always tears with his scenes, but, that scene, that scene where he's about to die, Quill and the others are operating on him, and then Rocket in the afterlife sees Lylla and friends…

When he asks “Can I Come?” in that scratchy, vulnerable tone, I just fucking lost it. A massive wave of emotions just came over me, I was quivering, shaking, bawling my fucking eyes out. This scene was so amazingly well done, it makes me so, so sick to my stomach, it also made it really difficult for me to focus and enjoy the rest of the movie cause I was so damn upset.

Even right now as I am writing this, I am crying, doing my best to keep it together. I've been crying so much, my eyes are starting to hurt. I've been sniffling and trying not to break down for the past twelve or so hours, but god damn is it hard. I just woke up from a short nap in an attempt to get some sleep, but my emotions are just as strong as ever.

I know the movie has a happy, yet bittersweet ending, and I am more than grateful for that, but holy shit man. This movie was so awful for me. I'm not sure if I'll ever fully recover from this. lol. Can't believe this is all over a fictional anthromorphic raccoon…

Thanks for reading if you actually bothered to. I needed to vent, discuss, do something, cause it's really been driving me insane.

Rocket deserves the galaxy.
