Of all the characters I could possibly hyperfixate on once getting back into guardians of the galaxy after watching vol.3, I had to go and choose the character who has been canonically dead in universe for at least over a decade!

#Groot #og Groot #MCU Groot #gotg #guardians of the galaxy #like Groot ii/swole groot is great #but I miss og Groot so much #plus I think he has a ton of unrealised potential in the comics #the writing for him peaked with the 2015 Groot limited series and then never again to be honest #he’s just been relegated to either being rockets friend or the guardians giant muscle for when they need to get rid of a crowd of enemies #the only time anyone seems to care about Groot is when he goes baby mode #also there’s grootfall I guess but I don’t think we’re allowed to talk about that… #the 2015 Groot comics did him so right by fleashing out his character/backstory #as this brave kind often times easily distracted yet still bright and emotionally intelligent being #who’s gained so much wisdom through wandering the universe and is able to see the good of everything #and was able to build a beutiful meaningful life for himself despite being rejected by his own kind #and dismissed by the rest of the universe as a mindless destructive monster #and having to grapple with the loneliness of nobody understanding him apart from a few friends he managed to form a close bond with #in spite of thier obvious differences #that was great! #….and then every gotg writer since just. didn’t do anything with at. at all. #and I have no fucking clue why #maybe it’s hard to write dialogue with us whole I Am Groot shtick or somthing? idk??? #I just think Groot/og Groot deserves better ok
