2) Baby Groot Gets It All Wrong
In the months leading up to the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, many fans were concerned that Baby Groot would be pushed down their throats solely due to the fact that the character’s cute appearance will inevitably sell a lot of toys. While he does get a lot of screen time, it all counts, and that’s particularly the case for the scene which sees the pint-sized hero – decked out in a tiny Ravager uniform – attempting to help Yondu and Rocket escape.
Told to go and find the former’s fin (which in itself is a superb nod to the character’s comic book appearance), Baby Groot returns with everything from a robotic eye to a pair of underpants. However, by far the most hilarious moment comes when Groot holds up a severed toe with a grin on his face. It’s so totally unexpected that it’s sure to make you belly laugh and is a great bit of visual humour which emphasizes just how great Gunn is and definitely justifies Groot’s new appearance in this sequel.
