Maybe they just meant in the context of the film.

Comic Yondu was a Z lister before those movies.

GotG was a J tier team before Gunn take.

heck, the closest to mainstream media they got before was Rocket in Marvel vs Capcom.

If anything James knows how to bring personality to his characters.

I'm pretty sure Rocket was put into that game specifically because there was a GOTG movie in the works and they wanted to familiarize people with the characters.

Nah, game is like 2010-11? Gotg is 2014

And 2011 marvel wasnt really doing the whole cinematic universe stuff, doubt that

MvC have the weirdest picks since the first one, shuma? Really?

Pretty sure they got the ball rolling on the MCU after Iron Man was huge in 2008. MVC3 came out in 2011. By 2011 the MCU was basically on full go with both Thor and Captain America coming out that year and the first Avengers movie in production. They also had mentioned the possibility of a GOTG movie in 2010. All that said, it’s not impossible that the inclusion of Rocket in MVC3 wasn’t on purpose with the idea they’re going to do a movie eventually in mind.

They had a stinger with Tony Stark and the Avengers Initiative in the Ed Norton Hulk film. Anyone pretending that the MCU wasn't a thing until after Iron Man clearly didn't pay attention.

The script for the GOTG film was being developed in 2009, the game came out in 2011. Kevin Feige publicly mentioned GOTG as a potential film in 2010. It was well in the works before the game came out.

Rocket was included because he became a bit of fan favourite through the 2000s.

Remember he's not even a specific GOTG character. I don't think any of them are.

MVC infinite is the one with the MCU influence. The whole Marvel roster is just MCU characters and Venom.

Yep, i doubt they asked capcom to do tie in in MvC 3 with MCU, even if gotg was already a name in the backstage, how the fuck the japaneses would know in 2009-10.

Infinite is MCU vs megaman

They literally started it with the Nick Fury stinger on Iron Man in 08 and Avengers came out in 2012 (meaning production was well underway in 2011). They absolutely knew that GotG was in the pipeline by then.
