He ’s the most darling member of theGuardians of the Galaxy , particularly when in   baby form , even though we have to have his Son deciphered for us via a sarcastic meth panda bear every time he speaks . He ’s got action mechanism figures , plushies , and even his own Bop - It plot , but he can only ever say three word .

Just what is it about Groot that evaporate our hearts even while he makes no good sense at all ? Those kind eye might seem as though they ’re to blame for our   love , but many are well - mindful that Groot has n’t always been one of the salutary guys . In fact , like his teammate Gamora , he has a pretty disconsolate and confusing past that make us question just how he trade teams in the first place .

His weakness and abilities appear to make him the same as your intermediate tree , yet he ’s somehow able to do thing that a Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree would never be able to do . He does n’t seem to be all that good to have around sometimes , but at others , he ’s so mighty that even the most dreadful enemy have trouble taking him on .

Here are20 thing That Make No Sense About Groot .

We Have No Idea How He Reproduces

Was Groot in the beginning planted by someone and mutated ? Was he one of many growing tree diagram named Groot on his planet ? Spoiler alert for fans who have n’t read the cartoon strip : yes he was .

Did he just cut to the sapling phase , and if so , why does he go through the stage of puerility and adolescence in the first place ? If he ’s humanoid , it earn signified , but how human is he ?

empathize Groot ’s coinage and how it reproduce would provide some fairly neat enlightenment for all of the moving-picture show ’s viewers . Unfortunately , we just have to keep making hypothesis since the writers do n’t cleave to the risible script and do n’t give us very elaborated explanations , if any .

He Breaks Off His Own Parts

Groot seems to have the power to snap off his own parts at will , using them as weapons , stretching them as needed , and broadly speaking making up the pattern of his own body as he hold up along .

Does he   bring around or do they just mature back ?

How much can he possibly produce in any given charge ? No matter what , Groot ’s arm seem much more operable than a distinctive tree ’s , instigate us to wonder not just about his transmitted make-up and capableness but his origins and extent of his powers altogether .

Why Baby Groot Is So Savage

Baby Groot seems much more savage than his adult form was in the first film , which may be because he ’s being raised by Rocket and the balance of the Guardians , savour violent mission long before he ’s truly honest-to-god enough to be on them .

He ’s much more destructive than full - grown Groot , which makes us enquire about his future .

We can reasonably infer that the late embodiment of Groot grew up without the Guardians and possibly without applied science , so the discrepancy in formative years could lead us to a much different personality in this form of Groot . We can already see him act much more viciously in battle than antecedently .

How Fast Does Groot Grow?

It seems like Groot stayed a sapling for a foresighted time , beginning in his flowerpot at the end of the first film and remaining a child or toddler - like sapling throughout the second . Yet suddenly he was a teen at the end ofGuardians of the Galaxy 2 , which he remain untilAvengers : Infinity War .

When Yondu Udonta ’s gang sleuth a mutiny and all of the cackle hecklers yell , " Mascot ! Mascot ! " around the pitiful torment infant Groot , we have to enquire if they are ripe . No , he ’s not their mascot , but   he could be the mascot of the Guardians themselves .

Groot does n’t do a whole fate to help oneself the squad , especially in infant tree diagram form . What other squad would tangle a baby into battle ?

We get that the Shoot ' Em Up style is popular and many movies have taken to mixing in   younglingswith violence but sometimes he ’s a distraction at comfortably . We ca n’t deny that there are moments when he comes in handy , but on the whole he does n’t extend a whole lot .

How He Takes On Gamora

A walking , talking tree diagram versus Thanos ’s trusted assassin . It does n’t sound like an even match yet somehow Groot managed to take on Gamora and win inGuardians of the Galaxy .

Yeah , he had help , but she ’s conjecture to be the most grave adult female in the universe .

You ’d she ’d make easy work of him in mo . This makes zero mother wit .

Baby Groot screaming in rage in Guardians of the Galaxy 2

That leads to a whole other inclination of whyGamora makes no gumption . She has a mickle of close calls and bad luck for someone who was not only manus - picked but hand - instruct by Thanos . Given how indomitable Thanos is , why is Gamora not more ominous in the films ?

He Destroyed Iron Man, Captain America, And Rocket

Can yourecall the time Groot went off and destruct not only Captain America , The Hulk and Iron Man , but also his own best sidekick Rocket , whom the others had called for help in handling his ally ?

This sounds so far from the Groot we all know and love , yet it happened inRocket Raccoon # 9after the Avenhers attempted to utilize Groot ’s regeneration powers and their program backfired , retrovert Groot back to his former nefarious self .

When Groot finally had some sense knocked into him as he visualize the destruction of his best Quaker at his own paw , he turned into a gargantuan tree diagram of life to repent .

Teen Tween Teenager Adolescent Groot Guardians of the Galaxy Marvel

He shouldn’t be able to say “We Are Groot”

We spend the entire photographic film heed to Groot only say , " I am Groot , " no matter what view he wish to express , and then we ’re give that extra missive , that teeny lilliputian first plural subject , that throws everything off and make zero sense .

It was foreign   to make him say , " We are Groot , " when we acknowledge he ca n’t do it .

Groot can only say three words due to his hardened voice box , which is a weirdly random rule to begin with , but all this does is lead to more muddiness for the audience .

Groot Looking At the Camera

Can Groot really speak more words ? Did he just larn the Bible " we " ? It may create a heartwarming moment to colligate with , which has its own virtue , but that does n’t stand for that it makes a clout of sense .

He’s A 125-Foot Monster In The Comics

Could you imagine Groot not only as a 125 - infantry alien , but also a monster wreaking mayhem ? That just does n’t translate well to the moving-picture show .

Zoe Saldana as Gamora in Avengers Infinity War

Even without the dark history , Groot still looks much more sinister in the comic . Why not translate that to film ? Like the residue of his scrappy teammates , Groot does n’t calculate like your standard superhero , which is why the Guardians are so beloved .

Groot’s Vocabulary Makes No Sense

It ’s clean to readers of the comic books that while Groot ’s words are bound in his day - to - solar day speech as his vocal tightening limits his range of speech , the nuances in his outspoken pattern come along to make him an eloquent philosopher . To moviegoers , however , this is never addressed , make much more speculation , rather than   giving any   explanation for why he talk this path .

Viewers may question : is Groot a simple ? Can he just not speak English ? If so , why does n’t he just speak his own native language and have Rocket translate ?

It would take one line about Groot ’s species and its unfortunate outspoken degeneration during the aging process to exculpate this up yet it stay on miss from both movie .
