Posted by Fans of Baby Groot, get ready to have your world shaken up a bit! James Gunn made a statement that shocked a lot of Guardians of the Galaxy fans on Tuesday. A fan posted a picture of a Porg and Baby Groot with the caption “which one do you save”, to which Gunn replied “Groot is not an animal! He’s an advanced lifeform! It’s easy!!”
Groot is not an animal! He’s an advanced lifeform! It’s easy!!

The exchange goes on for a bit, which is quite hilarious and you should check it out here, when Gunn drops the bombshell no one was expecting. BABY GROOT IS THE SON OF GROOT! That is right folks, Groot did die in the first Guardians of the Galaxy.
First Groot is dead. Baby Groot is his son.

This news of course shocked fans. Some could not except what they just heard. Some even challenged Gunn’s knowledge of his own movie.
It’s canon AF (and it’s in the movies).

Rocket just built that bomb! How would adult Groot have any memory of a bomb that was built after he died?

Just because it’s in your movies doesn’t mean its canon. Groot has the powers to regenerate himself not the powers of apomixis. While I understand that he could technically, you’re discounting 15+ years of backstory where he has died countless times only to regenerate. 1/2

That’s the 616 Groot not the MCU Groot.

What a bombshell!! This totally makes me see the ending of the first Guardians in a whole new light and makes Groot’s ending even sadder. What do you think about this news? Are you as shocked as us at what Gunn revealed yesterday? Did you notice the clues in Vol. 2? Let talk about this. Hit us up by commenting below.
