Groot's Surprising Final Words in Guardians of the Galaxy 3 Explained by Vin Diesel

.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 took fans on an emotional journey with its beloved characters. While Groot's storyline may not have been the most dramatic, his final scene carried a poignant message for the trilogy's loyal followers.

Since his debut in 2014's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1, Groot has captivated audiences with his iconic catchphrase, "I am Groot." However, the lovable character has only spoken one other line throughout his cinematic journey. As he sacrifices himself in the first film, Groot utters the touching words, "We are Groot." Despite the limited vocabulary, Groot's friends always seem to understand what he means, just like in the comics where he has never spoken more than those three words since his first appearance in 1960.

During the finale of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, we witnessed a heartwarming moment where Groot spoke his first complete sentence to his fellow Guardians. As the group parted ways, Groot expressed his love for them by saying, "I love you, guys." Vin Diesel, the talented actor who has voiced Groot since 2014, expressed his excitement about recording this iconic line. He mentioned how this moment signifies the audience's ability to understand the language of the Flora colossus after years of being exposed to the character. Diesel's statement is a testament to the audience's dedication and ten years of loyalty towards the franchise and the Groot character. It is remarkable how the audience waited for ten years, just for Groot to say three monosyllabic words. This moment is a reminder that patience and dedication can bring life to any character.

Director James Gunn also took to Twitter to confirm the significance of Groot's line. He responded to an article that claimed the audience finally understands Groot, by tweeting, "Spoiler... Yes, that's exactly what it means." Gunn's confirmation gives us an interesting insight into the character. It is exciting to see how Groot's language and communication skills will develop in the future, now that the audience can understand him.

Rocket takes charge of a new group of Guardians in the aftermath of the original team's disbandment. This fresh team includes Phyla, one of the children rescued from the High Evolutionary's vessel, Adam Warlock, his pet Blurp, Kraglin, Cosmo, and Groot. The mid-credits scene indicates that Groot will continue to play a crucial role in saving the galaxy, as other MCU projects have indicated the universe's imminent danger.

Although Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 marked the end of the trilogy, it may not be the end of the characters' MCU journeys. The title card at the conclusion of the film confirms that Star-Lord will return, and there is a chance that Groot may make a comeback as well. Considering his line "I love you, guys," it's possible that we may witness more varied Groot dialogue if he does make an appearance in future MCU instalments.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is playing in theaters now.
