Between this and the Holiday Special, should we rename 2022 into 202-Groot?
It’s been nearly a full decade since the original Guardians of the Galaxy film blessed us with Groot, the talking tree man voiced by Vin Diesel who can only say three (well, technically four) words. Though Groot later sacrificed himself in that movie and has since re-grown up to the point of being a teenager by the time Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame come around, it was Guardians 2’s sickeningly cute Baby Groot that stuck with folks. And because Disney loves itself a cute-looking sidekick thing that can always be used to sell toys, they want to remind you of when he was a wee widdle tree kid. Hence, I Am Groot, an upcoming series of shorts that’ll wind the clock back to the Guardians 2 days to show Baby Groot getting into his own misadventures, presumably while the rest of the Guardians do the heavy lifting.
