Ok just watched James Gunn talking about the OG and the new Groot, he said the new Groot grew up with a family and treated as a part of a family but the OG Groot was treated like an animal for much of his life. Him saying this made me yearn for a Rocket and Groot meeting story, old Groot had such a big heart even though according to Gunn, he was treated so badly and then he met Rocket somehow… Ugh imagine Rocket’s reaction, he probably never trusted anyone after escaping from HE and then he met this selfless giant tree that sacrificed himself to save him…
‘‘Why are you doing this… Why?’‘ Rocket asked when he realized what the OG Groot was doing, he didn’t understand why would Groot sacrifice himself for him… I feel like deep down in vol 1 and before, Rocket was expecting Groot to leave him one day.
