Forget the fact that I was made aware of the raccoon because of a cross promotional poster at Subway, but there is a fucking raccoon. A FUCKING RACCOON.

Come at me comic book enthusiasts. You can't explain away this one.

If he was made for the movie I could kind of get it, but he's been around since the 70's. He has been a member of the GOTG for quite some time as well. I give Marvel credit for mostly using the comic accurate team(minus a few people).

As a long time comic reader I am beyond excited for this movie. Which usually means it will suck.

I think it's pretty obvious that this is from the B-tier of Marval characters.

His name is, in fact, a tribute to Rocky Raccoon.

Uh Guardians has been around for a really long time. This movie actually appeals to the Marvel fanboy in me than any of the Thor films.

Is this trolling? This sounds like trolling.

Dafuq?

Interestingly, iphone autocorrect wants to turn "Dafuq" into "Dacia".
