There ’s a heatedly debate theme in Marvel circles about whether Baby Groot fromGuardians of the Galaxy 2is grownup Groot ’s son , or a tiny version of Groot himself , grown after ( SPOILERS ) adult Groot ’s trunk was destroyed at the last of the firstGuardiansmovie .
In the plastic film , Baby Groot weigh in on the issue , telling everybody " I am Groot " , which was n’t very helpful . Guardianswriter , James Gunn , also matter in on the debate , saying that grownup Groot is definitely dead .
He ’s been exceedingly unclouded on the topic .
" The cyberspace is like Groundhog Day every time I manoeuvre out first Groot died , " hewrote back in February .
" Baby Groot has a unlike personality , a dissimilar body , no memories of adult Groot & adult Groot ’s ritual killing actually mean something . New one shot of intelligence stories & collective gasping again & again . "
However , a plant scientist has now commit his scientific perspective on the topic , hopefully terminate the issue so we can sit back and enjoyGuardians of the Galaxy 3without worrying the whole movie whether or not Baby Groot is an orphan .
Botanist , skill communicator and self - identify eccentric James Wong gave his thought on the affair last night in a Twitter thread . There ’s good news and bad news program for fans of adult Groot .
To startle off , the upright newsworthiness . There was no female plant involved in Baby Groot ’s creation , which mean that if adult Groot is dead , baby Groot is at least a clone of his male parent .
So far , so " yay Groot clone " . However , there are problem with this possibility , as Wong points out .
Which ( skilful word again ) mean there might be another awe-inspiring place stranger tree out there that we have n’t yet seen , mean Baby Groot might not be an orphan .
Here ’s where Wong throws in some real hope for rooter of adult Groot , however .
" Even Earth flora can process complex information about the mankind around them & keep it without the want for a centralised computer storage organ like beast need ( ie a brain),“he writes . " If Baby Groot is a cutting , it is likely it retain Big Groot ’s memory ! "
As find out in the photographic film , there ’s a opportunity he might be .
Although people have issue with that theory .
So , what Bob Hope can we glean from this thread ? Well , there ’s a ( slim ) chance that Baby Groot retains his begetter ’s memories , making him at least part dad - Groot . There ’s also a luck that there ’s a momma - Groot out there that could help raise the indocile Baby Groot .
And , more definitively , adult dad - Groot is definitely dead . Sorry , folks . If you do n’t wish it , do n’t get mad .
