6) Baby Groot Attacks
Just because he’s only the size of an action figure doesn’t mean that Baby Groot isn’t as useful in a fight as he used to be.
After a brief moment featuring him whooping with joy on Rocket’s shoulder as the raccoon goes all guns-blazing, Groot is seen roaring at a Ravager along a gangway. Comically, the Ravager is terrified of the little guy but it soon becomes apparent that he’s right to be. The yelling Groot trips him up with some of his vines and swings him over the edge, presumably to his death. Warning to all Guardian enemies: do not piss off Baby Groot.
From these scenes, it looks likely that Baby Groot is going to be even more of a breakout character in Vol. 2 than Big Groot was in GotG. We loved him before, but now he’s ten times more endearing, what with his adorably tiny Ravager outfit and high-pitched voice. There is the bittersweet element, though: he doesn’t seem to be entirely the same Groot we knew in the last movie. As such, it’ll be interesting to see how this is explored in the film.
