Groot II

"I love you, guys."

―Groot^[src]

Groot is a humanoid plant (flora colossus) from that grew from a twig that was saved from the original Groot by Rocket. He is a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Groot and his new allies managed to kill off all of Thanos's forces, Thanos came to Wakanda. The Mad Titan completely overpowered Groot and the heroes and retrieved the Mind Stone, completing the Infinity Gauntlet.

Groot disintegrated into ashes alongside Sam Wilson, T'Challa, Bucky Barnes, and Wanda Maximoff when Thanos wiped out half of every civilization in the universe with the completed Infinity Gauntlet, but he was later restored by Bruce Banner.

Biography[]

Guardians of the Galaxy[]

After the original Groot's sacrifice, the four remaining Guardians entered the Milano, Rocket was holding a pot with a stick popped out of it. Rocket looked down to discover Groot had begun regenerating, as the stick now had a face and arms.

Baby Groot danced to the Jackson 5's "I Want You Back" while Drax was cleaning his knife. Drax turned to Baby Groot, but he stopped dancing, Drax returned to cleaning his knife, and Baby Groot continued.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2[]

During the Guardians of the Galaxy's battle with the Abilisks, Groot danced around and didn't participate. After Taserface betrayed Yondu, he and his crew became fond of Groot who helped Yondu and Rocket to escape by retrieving the Yaka Arrow for them, although Groot hilariously had trouble finding the controller for it despite being given detailed directions multiple times.

Groot went on to play a pivotal role in the final battle with Ego, being the only one small enough to crawl through a tunnel to Ego's brain. Groot planted a bomb created by Rocket on Ego's brain, killing him and destroying Ego's Planet. As the planet began to collapse, Groot welcomed Yondu to the Guardians of the Galaxy before Rocket flew himself and Groot to safety.

Groot later attended Yondu's funeral and listened to music with Peter Quill on Peter's new Zune. Sometime later, Baby Groot matured into a rebellious teenager, and Groot often clashed with Peter over his messy habits.

Character traits[]

In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, as a child, Groot enjoys dancing and listening to music while the Guardians of the Galaxy were battling against an Abilisk, completely disregarding how serious the situation was. However, he is also aggressive towards his enemies such as the Orloni.

Because he was a child he didn't understand very much as proven when Yondu Udonta asked him to get his Yaka Arrow, in order to escape from Taserface and the Ravagers. Even when Yondu had tried his best to explain to Groot what the arrow controller looked like, Groot brought the wrong thing several times.

In Avengers: Infinity War, as a teenager, Groot is brave, headstrong and loyal towards his allies, and friends, but he can also sometimes be rude and disrespectful.

In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, as an adult, Groot is far more enthusiastic, gentle, kind, intelligent, mature, responsible, respectful and well-mannered. This doesn't stop him fighting for what he believes is right for him and his family.

Behind the scenes[]

Krystian Godlewski portrayed the character on set, though his acting was not used in the final character CGI.
Vin Diesel recorded Groot's iconic line, "I am Groot," over 1,000 times and also recorded all of his lines in several different languages, including Russian, Mandarin, Spanish, Portuguese, and French so that they could use his real voice in the film around the world.
James Gunn did the dancing Baby Groot scene in Guardians of the Galaxy and again in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

Trivia[]

Groot is extremely intelligent, but in his language all he can say is "I am Groot" so people who aren't close to him often don't understand what he is saying.
This incarnation of Groot appears in Ralph Breaks the Internet, with Vin Diesel reprising his role.
In Avengers: Endgame, when the 2014 Gamora asks Nebula about her choice in Peter Quill as a romantic partner, Nebula tells her that Gamora had the choice between Quill or a tree, a reference to Groot.
James Gunn has confirmed multiple times that "baby Groot" and the original Groot are two separate entities, the former being the offspring of the latter.
As of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, the audience can comprehend what Groot is saying, just like the Guardians can.
