Marvel Studios shocked everyone when they revealed a brand new trailer for Avengers: Endgame, giving fans their best look at Earth's Mightiest Heroes after Thanos snapped away half of the universe. And while many fan-favorite heroes are gone, the remaining Avengers are providing fans with some epic team ups that we never expected to see on the big screen; including an epic moment with Rocket Raccoon and War Machine boasting an obscene amount of firepower.

The new clip shows the true leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy hanging onto James Rhode's new armor, both armed for battle as smoke swirls around them, Rocket offering a slight smirk. It's one moments that might have prompted a major cheer, in a trailer packed with many of those moments.

And of course, fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe had PLENTY to say about that clip — one of the few moments where Rocket actually shows up on the screen. It's great to see the rabbit joining a new group after his fellow heroes and surrogate son were wiped out by Thanos' snap.

Here's what people are saying about Rocket and War Machine's epic partnership in the new trailer for Avengers: Endgame — read on for the best responses.

We found the WMD

Is it strange I am most excited about Rocket riding shotgun on Warmachine’s shoulder? I personally can’t think of a more destructive weapon.

How long is "too long?"

Me: Ugh, I keep hearing #AvengersEndgame is going to be three hours long. I don't want to see a three hour Avengers movie.
