#kraglin

One thing that really boils my breadsticks is the fact that in endgame Kraglin has the smaller fin, keep in mind he inherited the taller fin at the end of GOTG 2 and we even see him have it on in the pre credits scene with Drax. For the sake of anyone reading this the three fins will be referred to as smaller fin (GOTG 1-2 with Yondu), prototype fin (GOTG 2 with Yondu), and taller fin (GOTG 2 onwards with Kraglin)

Yondu had the smaller fin in GOTG 1 and until (00:42:00) in GOTG 2 when Nebula shoots it off, then at (01:05:07) we see Groot retrieve the prototype fin from the drawer with the help of Kraglin, which then leads to the scene when Rocket installs the fin to Yondu and we get the “Come a little bit closer” scene, Yondu keeps this prototype fin all the way through the film, even being buried with it on. Now at (01:48:53) we see the Yaka arrow get destroyed during the battle with Ego, yet at (02:02:16) when Peter gives it to Kraglin, he explains that Rocket reassembled it.

Now we don’t get an in canon explanation as to how Kraglin gets his own taller fin, yet it can be assumed that since Rocket helped install the prototype fin, it would make sense that he also created the taller fin.

Now from all movies (except endgame) and merchandise that I could find Kraglin had the taller fin:

• GOTG 2 (summer 2018 convention exclusive) funko pop

• GOTG 3 Funko pop

• marvel legends figure

Now for Yondu he has a mix of both yet for the smaller fin there’s only a few I found:

• marvel legends figure (has both the prototype and smaller fin on interchangeable heads)

• GOTG 1 Funko pop - (GOTG 2 has the prototype fin)

• Funko pop soda (for the chase he has the prototype fin)

As for movies here’s a list of all media Kraglin has the taller fin:

• GOTG 2 - pre credits scene

• Thor love and thunder (including concept art by @jonbacmar on Instagram)

• GOTG holiday special

• GOTG 3

Even in what if when Nebula has the fin it’s always the taller fin.

So Kraglin having the smaller fin makes ZERO sense, now you may be thinking “Kraglin wasn’t in endgame, what is this person on about?” You’re right he wasn’t (still salty about it) yet from the r/marvelstudios subreddit we see behind the scenes photos of him with the smaller fin, and even on RDJ’s instagram post we see him again with the smaller fin.
