Groot from the firstGuardians of the Galaxyfilm is dead and Baby Groot is a Modern graphic symbol , James Gunn has restate . The Guardians , as a collective , is a definite rooter - dearie in the freehanded Marvel Cinematic Universe , but if there is one standout among all of them , it would undoubtedly be the speech - confine tree diagram , Groot - an unexpected feat especially when it is quite freakish to get attached to a walking and speak tree - comparable being . Somehow , however , thanks to Gunn ’s film , the quality was able-bodied to find a way to hoi polloi ’s eye .
So when the sentient , bipedal tree sacrifice himself to save up his newfound supporter at the end of the firstGuardians , the great unwashed were shocked that Marvel would actually defeat a case and sadden by his death . Then along come in Baby Groot , a diminished version of the type , which actually mature from the remain share of the original Groot - prompting most of us to presume that he is some configuration of reincarnation . Gunn , however , supply some illumination regarding this , saying that the two are decidedly unlike characters .
" I also refer to folks who … celebrate throwing the Groot revival in my face , that that example does n’t really work because Groot is dead . Although I do n’t inevitably think it ’s obvious in Vol . 1 , it ’s important to say that if you explode and a little glob of you started grow into a baby , I would not assume that baby was you .
Although I do n’t necessarily think it ’s obvious in Vol . 1 , it ’s significant to say that if you exploded and a little glob of you pop out growing into a infant , I would not simulate that baby was you .
I do guess it ’s more obvious in Vol . 2 , as Baby Groot has a unlike personality than Groot , none of his memories , and is much , much dumber .
Baby Groot is arguably cuter and more merriment to observe with his bambino antics compared to the grown - up version . And seeing him buy the farm through pubescence , as bait by the end ofGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 2helps people get to know him more . But in retrospect , having the presumption ( this sentence , patently the amiss one ) that Baby Groot is a rebirth of the original Groot made it easy for us to take the latter ’s death , arguably countermine its consequence . Further , it was not difficult at all either to arrive at the incorrect conclusion for fans , especially when we saw Baby Groot literally grew from part of adult Groot . Gunn ’s explanation on the subject , however , yield us more context moving forward that this new growing Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree might look similar to the old version , but he is a brand fresh character himself with his own quirks and personality .
As the Guardians take their biggest and most dangerous mission yet in next year’sAvengers : Infinity War , it will be fun to see how a pubescent Groot will interact not just with his own squad but with other superheroes in the MCU as well . Having him in the mix , with his teenage angst and uninterested behavior could be a keen way to introduce levity in a rather serious Marvel flick without being totally jar to watcher .
