A persistent joke from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1 \u2013 what did Rocket do with Bucky\u2019s arm \u2013 remains unanswered after Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. This mystery involves Rocket Raccoon. When the Guardians broke out of jail in the first film, Rocket asked Star-Lord to grab a man\u2019s prosthetic limb for him. However, the raccoon later admitted that the leg wasn\u2019t truly essential for the escape. This joke was made reference to in Avengers: Infinity War when Rocket said, \u201cI\u2019ll get that arm,\u201d in response to the Winter Soldier\u2019s refusal to acquire Bucky Barnes\u2019 prosthetic limb.<\/p>\n
What Rocket Raccoon did with Bucky\u2019s arm is a persistent joke from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1, and it remains unsolved after the events in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Rocket instructed Star-Lord to steal a man\u2019s prosthetic limb for him in the first Guardians movie, although the raccoon later admitted it wasn\u2019t required for the jailbreak. In Avengers: Infinity War, Rocket made a reference to this joke when he said, \u201cI\u2019ll get that arm,\u201d in response to the Winter Soldier\u2019s refusal to acquire Bucky Barnes\u2019 prosthetic limb.<\/p>\n
Some speculated Rocket had created Nebula\u2019s new arm using Bucky\u2019s prosthesis when Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 video showed Nebula would get a new arm in the film with technology that provides her even more weaponry. James Gunn refuted the idea that Bucky had taken Nebula\u2019s arm, stating that hers was \u201cway better.\u201d This makes sense because Nebula\u2019s arm transforms into many blasters and other weapons using some form of nanotechnology or a comparable technology. Despite being very powerful and unbreakable, Bucky\u2019s vibranium arm lacks such technology.<\/p>\n
So, the question of what Rocket truly did with Bucky\u2019s arm remains unanswered. Not even as an Easter egg in the backdrop of a scene on Nowhere, the team\u2019s new headquarters is the arm mentioned or incorporated in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in any way. The only thing that can be inferred from the absence of a reference is that Rocket still has it someplace and could utilise it in the future.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s unclear why Rocket originally desired Bucky\u2019s arm. Rocket subsequently said that his first instruction to Star-Lord to steal a man\u2019s prosthetic limb was given because he \u201cthought it would be funny.\u201d It\u2019s unlikely that Rocket Raccoon would have the same justification considering that his MCU plot arc leaves him in a very different emotional state by the time of the Holiday Special and Vol. 3, especially given his own history of being tortured and experimented on. In fact, given how much he has changed since Vol. 1, it could make the most sense for Rocket to give Bucky his arm at some time following the Guardians of the Galaxy 3 finale.<\/p>\n
If the Winter Soldier appears in the Thunderbolts film with his arm intact, any possible continuity problems might be resolved by stating that Rocket returned Bucky\u2019s arm. This is still conjecture, though, until James Gunn or Marvel make clear what Rocket truly did with Bucky\u2019s arm. After Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, the MCU has continued, so maybe a future film or television programme will address this one outstanding question.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
