Marvel's Jaw-Dropping Revelation: Guardians of The Galaxy Vol 3's Groot Change Will Leave You Speechless!

Summary

Groot experiences a major transformation in the conclusion of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, articulating his emotions through the heartfelt expression, "I love you guys." This poignant moment captures the profound bond shared between the Guardians family and resonates with the audience.

In season 2 of I Am Groot, Groot goes back to only saying "I am Groot," possibly to keep the character's cuteness factor and match the show's emphasis on Groot's famous phrase. Moreover, the canon status of I Am Groot is unclear, as director James Gunn has debated its placement in the MCU and suggested that continuity is not a priority. Therefore, sticking with the familiar "I am Groot" line might be the best approach.

The release of I Am Groot season 2 marks the undoing of a significant change made to Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. The film served as an emotional farewell to the original crew while introducing a new team of Guardians of the Galaxy, with only Rocket and Groot remaining from the original lineup. Consequently, much of the movie focused on concluding the original Guardians' story and exploring Rocket Raccoon's backstory within the MCU. Groot, being a recent addition to the new squad, did not require his storyline to be wrapped up since it predated his partnership with Rocket. Therefore, Groot received relatively less attention compared to the other Guardians. Nevertheless, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 still provided Groot with important moments, although it remains uncertain if these will be followed up on in future installments. The handling of the character in subsequent franchise entries adds to this ambiguity.

We Should Be Able To Understand Groot In I Am Groot

In the conclusion of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Groot breaks his tradition of solely uttering the renowned phrase "I am Groot". Instead, he expressively utters the heartfelt words, "I love you guys". This significant moment, as confirmed by director James Gunn, symbolizes the profound connection between the audience and the Guardians family. It signifies the audience's ability to comprehend Groot's communication, similar to how the characters in the film gradually comprehend his language through spending time with him and fostering their own bonds.

However, even though I Am Groot season 2 has been released following this heartwarming transformation, viewers are now unable to comprehend the character. It could be argued logically that this is because Baby Groot is a younger iteration of the character, but this contradicts the notion that audiences can understand Groot due to being embraced by the metaphorical Guardians family. By that same logic, viewers should also be able to comprehend the lovable Flora Colossus in subsequent real-world releases since they are also affected by this change.

Why Groot Only Says "I Am Groot" In I Am Groot

There are several reasons why I Am Groot season 2 should have the character only utter his most iconic line, even after the conclusion of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. One of these reasons is that it would diminish the essence of the show if the line was no longer spoken. The series focuses on the adorable aspect of Groot, making it logical for him to communicate solely through this line, much like how The Mandalorian limits Grogu's speaking abilities. Additionally, I Am Groot is considered to be ambiguously canon, as James Gunn mentioned, "some folks at Marvel seem to think it's canonically MCU. I find that hard to see myself." Therefore, it might be best for I Am Groot season 2 to uphold the tradition of featuring the famous "I am Groot" line throughout.
