Guardians of the Galaxy

I loved that line; "we're the Guardians of the Galaxy, BEEYOTCH!"

It was fitting for Quill, he was bro-ing and dude-ing the whole time.

So, this has probably been asked in this thread already but I didn't feel like going back and back, but, when

Spoiler

Groot sacrifices himself and new baby Groot appears, is it a new character or is it Groot reborn? Does he hold onto the memories of his previous self?

If they follow the comicbook lore it should be the same Groot, he can regenerate from a single splinter and does very often in the books

That's what I figured. I'd imagine he has to get pretty jacked up in the comics considering what he's made out of but I was just curious anyway. Wasn't sure if each single was like starting brand new. Thanks.

Also on the subject of Groot

Spoiler

Parts of him were scattered all over the place at the end. Does that mean there could be multiple new Groots springing up or did Rocket happen to find the one and only viable Groot seed that would grow back into Groot. What a sentence.

 

[GasparZizou]

Spoiler

That I don't know, always only single Groot grows back and Rocket happens to find that single splinter, I'm going to assume Rocket kept searching until one splinter or branch moved or something

Or once a fragment is made viable by potting, and his consciousness (or whatever) enters it, the other fragments are just...dead plant matter.

 

[GasparZizou]

^I like that explanation.

He reminds me of myself. That douchey quality is probably why I like the character so much.

Only difference is, I ain't a ginger.

Just thought I'd share these, pretty funny

I think this is it. Because he only regrows in the comics when potted (that's all we see).

Well since he would go through that phase again maybe they can teach him how to speak. It's a movie those guys could change everything I think.

The reason why his species can only say "I Am Groot" is because it has to do with how their vocal chords are grown. I remember reading about it in the issue where he's born and got into a war with Rocket's species. There's also a video about it somewhere.

 

[GasparZizou]

Yeah, in fact, the way he enunciates "I am groot" is the way he gives different meanings to the phrase, and since Rocket has spent a long time with him, that's why he can understand what he says.

 

[GasparZizou]

Btw I thought Batista was outstanding, I was expecting a cardboard performance but the dude can act, I mean, sure his character wasn't very demanding but he gave Drax a little nuance when needed and his delivery was very very good.

Yeah actually, Vin was handed a script with "I am Groot" on the left and what he was really meaning saying on the right. So Vin was basically translating what was on the right side into an "I Am Groot." I thought that was a really awesome way of being able to record all the different ways of recording his lines.

A bit OT, but I thought Batista was the best thing about the Wrestlemania press conference this year. As an unexpected comedian he works, sort of like Hulk in Avengers.

Thank you so much, see i never read the comics on this and I was thinking since this is hollywood they can try to make a new rule, like for example how they change the term gems vs stones and even then the colors are way off on their counterparts. It's always tricky.

It was excellent seeing that interaction in the movie, I loved it, you could tell exactly what rocket understood from groot.

I liked how you can briefly see a Chitari and a Dark Elf on the Collectors "collection". Awesome moment.
