A Marvel Cinematic Universe fan put two and two together when taking a closer look at "Avengers: Endgame" and shared his thoughts on Rocket Raccoon's red scarf. In a vastly popular Reddit thread that has well over 38,000 upvotes, the fan noted that Rocket is wearing the same scarf that Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) wore in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2." Other than Nebula (Karen Gillan), Rocket lost all of his friends-turned-family in "Avengers: Infinity War," which included Groot (Vin Diesel), Quill, Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Drax (Dave Bautista), and Mantis (Pom Klementieff).
Wearing Quill's scarf is assumed to be an homage to his fellow Guardian who perished after Thanos's (Josh Brolin) snap. Rocket and Quill always had an interesting relationship as they constantly bickered, but there was an unspoken love between the two of them. Rocket's decision to sport his deceased friend's scarf proves that there was more love there than Rocket was ever willing to admit.
