In a similar vein, Rocket being one of the only members of the Guardians of the Galaxy team to survive Avengers: Infinity War - with the Gamora he knew dead, and Star-Lord, Groot, Drax and Mantis all Snapped - also puts him in a dark place at this point in the MCU timeline. The scene quickly moves away from this moment, and the fact it's in the first minutes of Endgame means that by the end of the movie, it's easy to have forgotten about it. While Stark doesn't know the intricacies of Rocket's past, the fact the anthropomorphic hero's past does involve him being "built" in such a remarkably cruel and callous way certainly makes the zinger feel like it probably cuts a little deeper, even if Rocket likely doesn't know what a build-a-bear is.
