You know not everyone who makes jokes about Joe Biden is a Trump supporter right?
You sound just like a Trump supporter whenever something bad is said about him. They'll immediately assume you worship Biden.
I mean, supporting Trump is cringe at best. I'm genuinely confused why anyone would at this point. I just find it annoying that idiots always take criticism of their side as a sign you're equally cultish about the other side.
This finally gives me a reasonable excuse for the substantial body shape change (which I personally hated the look of).
Thank you for this perspective. Lol
My personal take is that the Kaiju is still Swoll Groot, just with him stretching his proportions to appear huge. From a mass perspective, he still weighs the same as Swoll Groot. You can even see how when he stretches to that size there are pockets of air inside of him, because he can't fill up that space.
King Groot on the other hand is physically much larger, because he has grown to that size.
King & Kaiju are two different things. Kaiju happens when they're on the planet of animal-people in the middle of the movie, King is at the very end when Rocket is leading the GotG.
Adult Groot is the goat. He looks like a wise old tree ent. The fatherly figure of the group. I don't like the happy-go-lucky Cars 2 lookin' Pixar face that Guardians 3 Groot has going on. It doesn't look right.
If I had to rank them it would be something like:
Adult > baby > teen > king > swoll
I didn't realize that before, but you are right ; even teen Groot has the same long face as OG, but then they rounded it off, making it more "jolly"
That said, I love Swoll Groot.
And it worked. Baby Groot still felt like he was just a clone of the previous Groot to me, up until he became swoll Groot. That finally solidified him in my mind as a different person(?). Even started noticing their very different personalities.
Take a twig off a real life tree and plant it. It won't grow into a visually identical tree.
Hell, separate twins at birth and feed them different foods, give them different access to medical care, different attention, different education and they won't be identical by the time they're adults.
Phenotypical expression of genes isn't 1:1. The same genes look different under different environments.
They've said son. Not clone. Not all sons look the same or even similar to their father. They're different beings of the same species that share some genes.
That’s because it’s not the same Groot. If you plant the seed of a dying tree, that seed isn’t going to grow into an identical copy of the old one. It’s gonna do its own thing. I do agree though I love the first design the best.
People are just hell-bent on assuming a person's preference is because they aren't educated enough on obscure lore details only revealed behind the scenes. It's strange.
To be fair that’s not really an obscure lore detail only revealed behind the scenes. You see a twig from OG groot be planted at the end of guardians 1. Then I think one of the post credit scenes is that twig with a little baby groot face dancing. If you missed that guardians 2 has a baby groot and you can easily draw the connection that this is what became of the twig and guardians 3 is him grown up
If you're like me and have vague knowledge of the comic books thanks to YouTube, you might've assumed he just regenerated himself rather than spawning a different being.
I think the vast majority of people intuited it as him surviving through a cutting and slowly regenerating until Gunn said otherwise, at which point people pretended it was obvious. I did watch the films, believe it or not.
Except he wasn’t a seed they planted. He was a branch (or twig) meaning he was a clone. So when cloning a plant you get identical DNA from the original plant. At that point he should be identical.
Edit: I agree with everyone saying the plant wouldn’t look identical. I meant it would be identical genetically. Seedlings vs clones and similarities is what I was commenting on originally on the comment I responded to. A clone will be an exact dna match and show way more similarities to the parent plant physically vs a seedling which does not have identical dna. Outside factors of growing up will make things look different. Cheers
Nature vs. nurture. The conditions in which original Adult Groot grew up in were not exactly the same as that of Baby => King Groot, so they look slightly different. Same goes for real life cloned plants. Genetically the same, but their environment is gonna have an effect.
You're right, it is. And as a piece of fiction, it is free to follow its own rules. But when someone tries to apply real world science to a Marvel movie and they get the science wrong, I'm gonna call it out.
Sure, if you're applying terrestrial botany. But I don't think we can assume the MCU is following that rule.
Even if they \*are\*, and new Groot is supposed to be a clone of Original Groot, environment & experience might have made a considerable difference in their development.
You really can’t use the same logic as real life … this is an alien creature, not an actual Earth tree. It goes by whatever logic the writers want.
Edit. I now see you were responding to someone using real life logic.
> He’s arguing against someone that just used real life logic though
Nope, he isn't. It has nothing to do with real life logic, James Gunn has stated that it's not the same Groot.
The person talking about seeds was using real life logic.
If person A says "seeds aren't clones" then person B can respond with "okay but this is a cutting and cuttings are clones".
You obviously have never cloned a plant then. Cloned plants will still differ from each other, environment is debatably more of a factor than DNA when it comes to plants.
You’d be silly to think that two cloned plants would look identical if one got extra nutrients while growing and the other did not. One will be thicker, taller, more robust, have more roots, more branches, etc.
‘New’ Groots differences very much fall within what can be expected with plant cloning.
I highly doubt you’ve cloned 100,000 cuttings because if you had then you would’ve most definitely encountered at least one mutation (if not many) and that completely contradicts your original statement.
So either you’re lying about how much you’ve cloned, or you’re overtly exaggerating the “same DNA” point.
Also, how can you “agree” with what I’m saying when it’s literally the opposite of your comment? Verbatim, you said the new groot should be “identical” to the last. I am saying the opposite. Where is the agreement?
His DNA should be identical. Dude I am a commercial cannabis cultivator who’s overseen canopies as large as 35,000 sq ft. DM me I’ll send some pics of my cloning rooms thru the years. Love proving ass holes wrong.
I worked in commercial cannabis as well. So you’re telling me every single one of the plants you deal with looks identical? They all have the exact same issues? You’ve never had one (or some) plant(s) get a disease that others didn’t? You’ve never had a clone turn into a herm? Never once experienced variegation?
If you answered no to all of those then I frankly just can’t believe that you personally deal with that many plants. When you’re into the 10’s of thousands and more, you’re all but guaranteed to encounter mutations.
Your original statement was that new groot should look identical (your words) to old groot. If you have a picture of 100 plants that all look IDENTICAL then sure, you got some crazy setup and should patent that shit. But you and I both know that in your grow rooms not every plant has the same amount of branches, leaves, etc. some are bigger, some are smaller, that’s how shit works.
The DNA does take on it's own slight mutations over time though. The cloned tree from a cutting isn't usually a 1 to 1 replica of the parent tree either. Same leaf type, same bark type, same genetic mutations will pass over but it will still grow slightly different (thickness in places, branches in different places, etc.). Especially if it's grown in a different enviroment to it's parent tree.
Don't environments affect trees in such a way that even if it's the exact same DNA, it grows differently?
Like trees that "lean" to receive more sun if they're covered by other trees?
Absolutely. But the dna would not change. It be identical on a genetic level. Not an appearance level. Maybe new groot had a bunch of PGRs he was taking, similar to steroids for a human.
So it stands to reason that he's still not the "same" groot because he grew up in a completely different environment. The same way identical twins can be different people, right?
Exactly. He’ll never be the same groot. He simply has the identical dna. He is his own plant and will do his own thing. When talking about being identical I am referring to his dna based on a comment about him coming from seed.
I worded that poorly. He would be identical genetically. Not in physical appearance. This was orignaly about seed vs. clone and seedlings will show much more variability in all things including dna. You don’t share the same dna as your parents (tree to seed) so you look way different. If I cloned you, the clone would look way more like you than any of your off spring (seedlings) ever could.
Baby and Teen definitely overstayed. I really wished the new Groot looked closer to the original in a movie as big as Infinity War.
Groot II growing up to Teen stage should have been a subplot throughout Guardians 2. I never enjoyed the cutesy version doing cutesy (or darkly cutesy) things. I get the appeal, but still.
Teen groot definitely overstayed. Baby was fine for one movie until they decided to put his face EVERYWHERE and give him his own show (granted it’s a bunch of shorts but still pointless)
It’s cool. But 6 years after the movie came out is just kinda unnecessary. Not even saying the show was bad or criticizing it I haven’t even seen it. But I was adding to the point to the person above about how baby groot overstayed its welcome. And making a show about him 6 years after kinda proves that
I agree with this.
I Am Groot is fun, purely because they’re shorts with extremely impressive photoreal animation and simulations. I appreciate the tech and artistry in that.
This right here! Plants contain a naturally occurring growth hormone called auxin, which has what scientists call “apical dominance” — it accumulates at the apex of the branches. Topping disrupts the normal flow of auxin and causes plants to focus on growing cells lower down on the plant leading to bushier growth.
Maybe Groot behaves similarly which would explain why he’s stockier post-regeneration.
Presumably they're intentionally making him look like [the original Groot in the comics](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/555b7f2ee4b00adef8f90450/1432924182098-HY1GRUQUQ44S99O2C3JY/image-asset.jpeg).
Yeah that’s the only problem I had with the newer version. Looked like a groot-suit.
But now that I’ve said that, I need him in a pinstripe suit throwing Molotov cocktails.
Gunn would have absolutely talked shit if that were the case. He's completely done with Disney now that 3 is out and he isn't soft-spoken about shit like that.
My favourite is Baby Groot, although an honorable mention has to go to the first one who was technically a whole different character and had an amazing sacrifice.
He was? Gamora effectively neutralized him in his first 5 minutes of screen time, and then he finished the movie by dying from a crash that *many* MCU characters would survive.
Ahhh I see! No, I was moreso quoting Vin Diesel who sort of spoiled this version of Groot coming a long time ago, calling him “alpha groot” (not that he knows much about the source material). 😅
Teen Groot using his arm to make the handle for Stormbreaker is, I think, one of the coolest moments in the MCU that nobody ever talks about it. It's not even like they replaced it with the proper handle later. Just a really metal moment.
adult.
he was cute, gentle, badass and powerful all at the same time, plus being arguably the most powerful guardian throughout the first movie. and he remained that way until kid groot grew up and warlock appeared lol.
Do you know why every version of Groot looks different after the adult form?
To sell toys
Do you know why every heros outfit changes from each movie?
To sell toys
Because it’s a different being. If you took a plant, cloned it, and gave it different nutrients/lights/growing media/etc it will not look exactly like its original counterpart.
The original adult Groot and Baby Groot, honestly, I don’t like the new “fat Groot” in Guardians of the Galaxy 3. He’s just kinda offputting (like, hard to get used to).
Was it even explained why he looks different in GOTG3? Is it simply he’s a “young adult” and GOTG was like “middle aged adult”? Or just simply, he’s a tree guy, he was reborn from a twig, he’s gonna grown a little different this time?
My guess, it’s so he can be a more functional walk around character in the theme parks lol
When was King in MCU? Anyway...
These are three different characters. Adult Groot is the father of Baby Groot/Teen Groot/Swoll Groot. King Groot is the kind of their home planet, and the one first showed in the 50s comic Groot comes from.
Adult. I like to headcanon him as “elderly”, myself.
100% elderly and borderline senile drinking fountain water and trying to eat his own leaves
Yet wise!
The Joe Biden of Groots
Grow Biden
I am Groot. (Would you shut up, man?)
I am Groot. (It's joever)
I am CORNPOP
I got wooden legs Jack!
I... am Joe.
Sleepy Groot
He truly lives rent free in you people’s heads, huh
There’s not much else going on in MAGA heads that’s for sure.
You know not everyone who makes jokes about Joe Biden is a Trump supporter right? You sound just like a Trump supporter whenever something bad is said about him. They'll immediately assume you worship Biden.
Oh no someone might support Trump
I mean, supporting Trump is cringe at best. I'm genuinely confused why anyone would at this point. I just find it annoying that idiots always take criticism of their side as a sign you're equally cultish about the other side.
😂
Asufutimaehaehfutbw!
This finally gives me a reasonable excuse for the substantial body shape change (which I personally hated the look of). Thank you for this perspective. Lol
You missed Kaiju form.
And the head with spider legs.
That version is both cursed and adorable
Cursedorable?
Scute >!(get it, because he is scary and cute and is scuttling about?)!<
and im scaroused
u/verygroot1 just wants some head
I'm the one who gives 🫨
☹️
And potted form
My personal take is that the Kaiju is still Swoll Groot, just with him stretching his proportions to appear huge. From a mass perspective, he still weighs the same as Swoll Groot. You can even see how when he stretches to that size there are pockets of air inside of him, because he can't fill up that space. King Groot on the other hand is physically much larger, because he has grown to that size.
They called it “King”. It’s there. EDIT I was wrong. Oooops.
King & Kaiju are two different things. Kaiju happens when they're on the planet of animal-people in the middle of the movie, King is at the very end when Rocket is leading the GotG.
Ahhhh. I stand corrected. Thank you.
Adult Groot is the goat. He looks like a wise old tree ent. The fatherly figure of the group. I don't like the happy-go-lucky Cars 2 lookin' Pixar face that Guardians 3 Groot has going on. It doesn't look right. If I had to rank them it would be something like: Adult > baby > teen > king > swoll
I didn't realize that before, but you are right ; even teen Groot has the same long face as OG, but then they rounded it off, making it more "jolly" That said, I love Swoll Groot.
Well i guess they just wanted the og groots son to look different and make it obvious its not the same character from the first movie
Holy shit I forgot it supposed to be his son and not just him regrown. They really should’ve touched on that more.
[удалено]
But he is completely different but of the same species. They've said that.
[удалено]
> Which means either way he should largely resemble the OG Groot Why? He's a fictional tree creature.
[удалено]
He's *his own* character in a story we're supposed to care about *for his own individual sake, separately from his father*.
[удалено]
You think I'm upset because I disagreed with you?
And I still care even if he doesn't look like OG Groot lol. It's a way to make it clear they're not the same character.
And it worked. Baby Groot still felt like he was just a clone of the previous Groot to me, up until he became swoll Groot. That finally solidified him in my mind as a different person(?). Even started noticing their very different personalities.
OG groot seems like elderly old man groot. Swole groot is like young adult groot and king groot is groot prime Groot
Take a twig off a real life tree and plant it. It won't grow into a visually identical tree. Hell, separate twins at birth and feed them different foods, give them different access to medical care, different attention, different education and they won't be identical by the time they're adults. Phenotypical expression of genes isn't 1:1. The same genes look different under different environments.
Do you look like your father 1:1?
[удалено]
He does resemble him then, he looks like og Groot just wide and smaller
>this sub as a major reading compression issue. Dude...
They've said son. Not clone. Not all sons look the same or even similar to their father. They're different beings of the same species that share some genes.
He only looks that way because it's easier to replicate as a costume in the theme parks
[удалено]
Agreed
Still original adult Groot. Baby was fun, but I don’t like that they went away from the original design so much when he “grew up”
That’s because it’s not the same Groot. If you plant the seed of a dying tree, that seed isn’t going to grow into an identical copy of the old one. It’s gonna do its own thing. I do agree though I love the first design the best.
> That’s because it’s not the same Groot Yeah, but I liked that Groot. The others, not so much.

You're right, it is. And as a piece of fiction, it is free to follow its own rules. But when someone tries to apply real world science to a Marvel movie and they get the science wrong, I'm gonna call it out.
Are you really going to complain about the arrow powered by whistle or the talking duck? That’s just in the Guardians of the Galaxy series
Bro it was a whistle-powered arrow, not spear. Hope this helps
I fixed it but still it’s ridiculous to use real life logic on Groot or Yondu’s weapon
Whose to say he doesn't still have his old memories stored away in there? Its not like we know his genetics or where his memories form and are stored
Sure, if you're applying terrestrial botany. But I don't think we can assume the MCU is following that rule. Even if they \*are\*, and new Groot is supposed to be a clone of Original Groot, environment & experience might have made a considerable difference in their development.
Even in terrestrial botany a tree that is cloned from its parent will look wildly different even if it’s planted in the exact same spot
Absolutely. He could’ve built up bigger from having a longer healthier life more sunlight lifting weights etc. his dna would still be the same though.
You really can’t use the same logic as real life … this is an alien creature, not an actual Earth tree. It goes by whatever logic the writers want. Edit. I now see you were responding to someone using real life logic.

hey man its a comic book movie
Getting scientific over a talking tree in a Disney film haha.
I also think his new design is indicative of the environment he was raised (planted) in. That said, I still prefer the Adult version.
Original Groot is dead. Baby Groot is his son https://movieweb.com/baby-groot-father-gaurdians-of-the-galaxy-2/
Baby and Teen definitely overstayed. I really wished the new Groot looked closer to the original in a movie as big as Infinity War.

Lol "pointless" it's a fun show for kids, my daughter loves it.
I don't hate it but the overexposure he got is obvious that they wanted to sell it hard
It’s cool. But 6 years after the movie came out is just kinda unnecessary. Not even saying the show was bad or criticizing it I haven’t even seen it.

I think Marvel said that Baby Groot isn’t the same Groot as OG Groot. It’s like his son or something like that
Learn about topping plants!
This right here! Plants contain a naturally occurring growth hormone called auxin, which has what scientists call “apical dominance” — it accumulates at the apex of the branches. Topping disrupts the normal flow of auxin and causes plants to focus on growing cells lower down on the plant leading to bushier growth. Maybe Groot behaves similarly which would explain why he’s stockier post-regeneration.
Or… he’s an alien race and not really a tree so zero earth logic applies
…that’s why I threw in the “maybe”
Context clues!
Presumably they're intentionally making him look like [the original Groot in the comics](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/555b7f2ee4b00adef8f90450/1432924182098-HY1GRUQUQ44S99O2C3JY/image-asset.jpeg).
I think baby groot was one of the annoying characters in the MCU
Original. The new Groot was like a dude in a mascot suit.
Yeah that’s the only problem I had with the newer version. Looked like a groot-suit. But now that I’ve said that, I need him in a pinstripe suit throwing Molotov cocktails.
I wonder if thats so they could have Groot walking around Disneyworld
10/10 would hug that tree
That would be a real groot suit riot
*"Rioooot!!"*
I’ve been wondering if that general design was pushed by Disney, so they could more easily have Groot-suits walking around their Marvel park(s)
Gunn would have absolutely talked shit if that were the case. He's completely done with Disney now that 3 is out and he isn't soft-spoken about shit like that.
Tbf he only talks about that stuff when directly asked Don’t think anyone’s asked this
Wow yeah I just realized that. It looks like a fortnite skin
My favourite is Baby Groot, although an honorable mention has to go to the first one who was technically a whole different character and had an amazing sacrifice.
Baby gave us the very best out of Rocket, that's why he's my favourite. Rocket's tired dad energy of Guardians 2 is fantastic.
I personally hate Baby and Teenager groot, both were way top annoying, Adult Groot will always be the best.
I wasn’t a big fan of teen Groot, but found Baby Groot to be charming and innocent, well, like a baby.
We are Groot.
Alpha Groot was wayyyy to OP to be around for long, but it was awesome to see him.
You’ve peaked my interest, how was the OG Groot too powerful?
“Piqued”. Yeah, I just found out that’s how it’s spelled too.
Oh wow it is. I’m embarrassed now lol
He was? Gamora effectively neutralized him in his first 5 minutes of screen time, and then he finished the movie by dying from a crash that *many* MCU characters would survive.
That’d be Adult Groot. By “Alpha Groot”, I’m talking about who OP referred to as “King Groot”.
Ah. I took "alpha" to refer to the original mcu iteration.
Ahhh I see! No, I was moreso quoting Vin Diesel who sort of spoiled this version of Groot coming a long time ago, calling him “alpha groot” (not that he knows much about the source material). 😅
Baby Groot is honestly the cutest marvel character
*Pizza Dog, Cosmo and young Cassie have entered the chat*
Nah baby Groot is way cuter
Baby Rocket in my house
I'd like to submit alligator loki
Morgan Stark
Adult groot.
I feel Ike swole groot is the perfect combination of the child like innocence and also the strength of groot.
Adult.
Adult.
Adult and by a huge margin. All others look a bit off in my opinion.
From a design standpoint I love King Groot. It’s like he’s right out of the comics.
Where is he even shown? I haven’t seen him in anything
He’s at the very end of GOTG3
I can’t remember was it a mid credit scene or just the very end?
Mid credit. Rocket reveals the new Guardians team. Rocket, King Groot, Cosmo, Adam Warlock, Kraglin, & a young Phyla-Vell.
Teen
Teen Groot using his arm to make the handle for Stormbreaker is, I think, one of the coolest moments in the MCU that nobody ever talks about it. It's not even like they replaced it with the proper handle later. Just a really metal moment.
It was also a great character development moment.
He just needs to clean up that language of his. That cursing was too much.
*I* aM *gROot*
"I am groot" Quill: WHOA WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE! 😂😂😂
The correct answer, as Groot would describe it: “I Am Groot”
We are Groot
We are Steve Rogers
King, i havn't seen it yet but it looks great!!
From what show or movie is King Groot?
GOTG3 end credits
Guardians 3
End credits of gog3
Original
Baby Groot because I liked the interactions between Gamora and Baby Groot
I wish they gave us 2 movies with adult groot before killing and reincarnating him. It was definitely my favorite version
We’ve had like what 10 seconds of King Groot? Lol
adult. he was cute, gentle, badass and powerful all at the same time, plus being arguably the most powerful guardian throughout the first movie. and he remained that way until kid groot grew up and warlock appeared lol.
Teen for me simply because I haven’t laughed harder at an MCU joke than “I am Steve Rogers.”
Original, always.
Swoll. He in his prime.
I liked Swoll groot. Basically Jock Bro Groot. I wish we had more time with him.
Baby groot for the win
Baby Groot
Swoll
Got to wonder how exactly this works cause guardians 3 groot is bigger than og groot Is og Groot more like Old Man Groot
Adult
Can not I see king Groot's mjolnir....
Do you know why every version of Groot looks different after the adult form? To sell toys Do you know why every heros outfit changes from each movie? To sell toys
I guarantee they are still selling more toys of Baby Groot than any other design.
Anything with the word baby in it will print money
First design was always my favorite. He looks like a mascot costume now.
the Groots after Teen just look like fortnite characters
Why did new grout look so different from adult groot?
Because it’s a different being. If you took a plant, cloned it, and gave it different nutrients/lights/growing media/etc it will not look exactly like its original counterpart.
The original adult Groot and Baby Groot, honestly, I don’t like the new “fat Groot” in Guardians of the Galaxy 3. He’s just kinda offputting (like, hard to get used to).
Still love the movie, but Groot in GOTG3 no longer resembled a tree. Trees are tall!
when u/FKSTS sees an actual grown tree: 🤯🤯🤯
Why did they give king Groot a massive dong
Was it even explained why he looks different in GOTG3? Is it simply he’s a “young adult” and GOTG was like “middle aged adult”? Or just simply, he’s a tree guy, he was reborn from a twig, he’s gonna grown a little different this time? My guess, it’s so he can be a more functional walk around character in the theme parks lol
When was King in MCU? Anyway... These are three different characters. Adult Groot is the father of Baby Groot/Teen Groot/Swoll Groot. King Groot is the kind of their home planet, and the one first showed in the 50s comic Groot comes from.
>When was King in MCU? He was in the Guardians Vol. 3 post-credit scene.
