Honestly my headcanon for the whole I am Groot thing is that he really is just saying three words over and over but by using inflection is capable of communicating the entirety of their language just like saying the word "dude" in various ways allows you to communicate a wide variety of Concepts.
i dont mean to be offtopic but does anyone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the password. I would love any tips you can offer me!
you know, i just thought of he idea of expanding that monarch groot lie into an entire story. what if it was less of a lie, either with him eventually coming to power (maybe due to his vocal upgrade allowing him to be a better emissary for his species), or with a small retcon to his backstory that he was the son of the leader of a feuding faction, born and raised with no knowledge of his home faction. the latter would also be able to give an explanation as to why he was the only one to respect the forest creatures; he is the last survivor of the original ruling faction with the same ideals.
I'm not going to pretend that I was a fan of the Guardians before the movie, but I absolutely fell in love with Groot and the rest of the cast! Thank you for showing that there's a lot more going on with our gentle giant, Drake! And Rocket! I'll take my leaf now. Don't want to get Groot-ed in place. Guess I'll log off. I feel like I'm bark-ing up the wrong tree, here. Okay, I'm done.
after civil war 2 the guardians were stranded on earth and there was this one issue of the comic just focused on groot doing stuff on earth and it was very kids storybook like and there was this one line, "groot's skin is made of wood, and his heart is full of love" and i think abt it all the time. HIS HEART IS FULL OF LOVE!!!!!!!!!! AAUAOOAUAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY HEART IS FULL OF LOVE FOR YOU, GROOT!!!!!!!!!
When I was in High School in 1987 I created and drew a 7 foot tall plant life controlling viney superhero that I named "Drook". I had never heard of or seen Groot previously. Weird coincidence.
OK, I love GROOT and I'll try and scrape up some money for Team Trees. Haven't heard of Team Trees but it seems great! My phonecase was Groot for a while and I just love Groot so much.
My guess is that on top of a human-like vocal track, they have other dense high-frequency shit going on, and when they speak they end up making *some* sound on normal spectrum, so they usually just go with a stock phrase. The alternative would just be making "uuuuhhh" sounds while communicating which sounds weird to aliens.
I read that origin story comic that you talked about first, and its freaking amazing!! Easily my favorite comic ever and had me fall in love with Groot's character before I ever saw the movies.
I'd love a Guardians of the Galaxy spin-off in the MCU (either a show or a film) showing the origin story of both Rocket and Groot, culminating in them becoming friends.
There is a guardians show from Disney XD that have a short about there origin it also has a rocket and Groot show that is only one season. They are both animated
for groots language i think in one of the avengers cartoons vision explained it and even communicated with groot. he explained that the i am groot part is arbitrary.. it is a sort of carrier wave for the vibrations put in there.. kind of how radio works. and this resulted in them having a interesting and deep conversation where all the uninitiated only heard .. i am groot.. i am vision ... i am groot .. i am vision ... i am groot.. i am vision ... i am groot .. i am vision ... i am groot.. i am vision ... i am groot .. i am vision ... i am groot.. i am vision ... i am groot .. i am vision ... i am groot.. i am vision ... i am groot .. i am vision ... ^^ and rocket being surprised when he come sin on the conversation that vision can actually speak groots language.
Nope. Young Flora Colossi have been shown to still speak in "I am Groot" which you can explicitly see in the section in the video of Groot's early life.
Okay, am I going crazy, because I thought you did post a Groot history video? Are re-doing all your GOTG videos? But still, it was a good job, and yes, it is a good cause. Made my donation. #wearegroot
My thought with the I am Groot bit (bearing in mind that my experience is with the movies, not the comics) was that Groot's language was likely in a frequency that most humanoid creatures weren't able to hear/understand. Likely a low frequency, like how elephants communicate in frequencies too low for the human ear to hear. Hence why Rocket, as a raccoon-creature, would be able to understand Groot, since he would have access to a range of sound that a human would not. This is, of course, assuming that the majority of alien races in the galaxy also can't hear in that range. But, I mean, most of them have mostly human looking ears, so I'm gonna go ahead with that assumption. So the "I am Groot" and "We are Groot" that we hear in the movie, is just Groot straining his voice to the highest pitch he is capable of speaking, and that's all he knows how to effectively enunciate. As anyone who has tried to sing a high note that is way outside their natural range can attest, you really can only strain so much. I am Groot is probably just the easiest thing to say in different tones to try and get his point across. This leads well into the fact that other crewmates than Rocket seem to be able to understand Groot once they have spent enough time around him. Humans can't hear super low frequencies but (as I am sure the other nerds reading this already know) they are still affected by low frequencies sounds, or infrasound. You most often hear about this in regards to horror movies, and the fact that the movies will often have infrasound tracks built in because we still have a reaction to it even though we can't discern it. It can make people feel uneasy and freaked out, so it's added to horror movies to make them seem scarier. (I actually have no idea if this is actually done, but that's the rumour.) So, theoretically, you might eventually learn to discern the weird sensations that hearing Groot speak gave you, and that would let you understand him properly in time. Particularly if Rocket is assisting translation.
Ok so I was just reading my Annihilation Conquest Omnibus and got to the part where Groot suddenly stops talking. So I looked up this video to try and get an explanation. But being as they never properly addressed it Im begining to come up with my own theory. I think maybe when he was first with the group he had a translator like almost every other sentient creature that does business in Marvels cosmic areas. But at some point he stopped using it or maybe we just stopped getting the translation for one reason or another. But thats just a theory.
i feel like its not impossible for groot to speak short words in English but incredibly difficult and uncomfortable kinda like how a orca whale was able to learn to say hello but not very well he clearly understands English but i think its just very hard to say anything other than i am groot but since he knows English its possible for him to make some sounds like we and you but only important situations like when he died in guardians of the galaxy
So a long while ago you mentioned you were going to do a video about all of the batgirls? Is that topic on the back burner or did you decide not to go through with it?
Where did i read something about Groot having the heart of his planet in himself and that he wanted to find a host planet for it so his species can regrow? Does that ring a bell to anyone?
Nothing bugs me more than comic book character designers drawing random glowing orbs on people. Some of Iron Man's worst designs have too many glowing bits in random places, but it's made way worse when you throw them on a literal *tree.* Like, he's a space tree, but he's a goddamn tree! Where do we stop, glowing green orbs on The Hulk's shorts?
Who is Groot? We are Groot Also yeah; Guardians of the Galaxy is basically a story of what happens when you give the underdogs a chance. The movie basically only happened because it was "who do we actually have the rights to?" and... it BLEW UP.

You always ask WHO is groot, but you never ask HOW is groot

Yeah but the real question is WHEN is Groot?
I got one better, who is groot??

Dang man I read Gotg and didn't know most of the second half of the video. Great research!
When I was in High School in 1987 I created and drew a 7 foot tall plant life controlling viney superhero that I named "Drook". I had never heard of or seen Groot previously. Weird coincidence.
Honestly given how imaginative humans are in general it’s not that coincidental. I think completely original ideas now a days are pretty rare.
OK, I love GROOT and I'll try and scrape up some money for Team Trees. Haven't heard of Team Trees but it seems great!
My phonecase was Groot for a while and I just love Groot so much.
9:15 I love this Groot design
Can you do a video on the history of the venom symbiotic and knull
Groot is so awesome! I can’t wait to see him and the rest of the GotG gang in the future. Keep up the good work!

I can't wait to tell my co-workers that Groot was once Venom.
Canonically, Deadpool was also the first Venom
At this point who hasn't been
I'd love a Guardians of the Galaxy spin-off in the MCU (either a show or a film) showing the origin story of both Rocket and Groot, culminating in them becoming friends.
GOTG 3 was only rocket's
There is a guardians show from Disney XD that have a short about there origin it also has a rocket and Groot show that is only one season. They are both animated
Always good to see content from you
Every week!
Who knew Groot was so awesome?
I am Groot.
I'd love to see you do a video on Alpha (Andrew Maguire), or just a general video on Spiderman's sidekicks/ team-ups through the years!

Drake: "Who is Groot?"
Groot: "I am Groot"

Great video! And I'm proud of you, seeing as you promote #TeamTrees.😀
I speak for the trees. And the trees speak Grootese.
I like nature themed super beings. So Poison Ivy, Groot & Swamp Thing.
When groots Species is young they can talk fluently when they get older their vocal cords Hardin because there’s trees
Nope. Young Flora Colossi have been shown to still speak in "I am Groot" which you can explicitly see in the section in the video of Groot's early life.
“Groot can only say so many words”
The last scene of him in GotG 3:
He still said "I am groot", its confirmed that scene was meant as a metaphor for the viewer understanding him now after the journey
Groot has always been my favorite Guardian
Wasn’t a fan of baby Groot route in G2
Let me guess, the angsty teen phase was based on Teen Groot in Infinity War?
Ding ding ding
