At the end of Guardians of the Galaxy in 2014, Groot sacrificed himself to save the rest of the lovable space crew. Thankfully, the credits revealed that Baby Groot had formed from the original character, and he went on to become a fan favorite in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. This week, Marvel and Disney+ released a series of shorts that followed Baby Groot and his adorable adventures. I Am Groot sees the little tree getting into some trouble, having fun, and hanging out with his pal Rocket. In the past, fans have been confused as to whether or not Baby Groot was the same Groot seen in the first Guardians film. Today, director James Gunn took to Twtiter to explain exactly how Baby Groot works.
He does not (in the same way I don’t remember what my father did – OG Groot is not his “self”). But I’m sure he’s been told the heroic stories thousands of times by his galactic parents. #IamGroot https://t.co/ho4OAMlJDJ
