Spoilers Avengers: Infinity War grade and discussion thread
- Thread starter The Nth Doctor
- Start date
Right, which he covers in earlier in the article (what I quoted is his solution at the end). His main point is marketing for films begins more than two months before a film's release, which is well before the release of The Untitled Sequel. Further, the Homecoming is also the first film set after The Untitled Sequel.
Rocket, who he sees as his adoptive father.
People say a lot of things ( usually self-serving ). They also like killing innocent beings who can't shoot back. These guys wouldn't last long in a fair fight.
And yet Thanos made sure he survived the snap...Your friends planning on living a long life or they 'leaving' soon to help manage humanity's resources?
Yeah, the Man of Steel would be better suited to the Justice League.
He doesn’t need to be immortal as long as he has the Time Stone. He can just jump forward and take care of the future now.
It’s confusing since this character is also named Groot, but he isn’t the original Groot. He’s a clone who has been raised from saplinghood by Rocket and the other Guardians.
The Russo brothers confirm that Adam Warlock is not in The Untitled Sequel.
"Yeah [Adam Warlock]'s not showing up in our stories," Joe Russo said. "Look, our job as we said a million times is to tell the story of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, not to do direct adaptations of the comics because we're comic book fans. I have no interest as a director in telling a story that's already been told or in seeing one that's already been told. If I know all the events story as they're going to happen then what's the point of going to the film? We want to keep surprising audiences and continue the story that started with Iron Man [...] a decade ago."
He's not a clone, but the son of the original Groot. That comes from James Gunn.
Biological dad = Dead groot. Rocket ='Dad'.
I thought I read somewhere that he did not protect himself. There was a 50 percent chance he'd die too, and that is ok.
Just a thought, Gunn may have said he’s not a clone because movie audiences have a poor understanding of what a clone is. In movies, clones usually inherit the memories and personalities of their parents (as in ENT:Similitude).
Or perhaps he saw his father (the 'original' Groot) as he was dissolving.
The point is that the human race accepts culls as a form of conservation because we see ourselves at the caretakers of our planet. Thanos sees himself as the caretaker of the universe. When you take our own morality and apply it to thanos, he clearly did nothing wrong.
You can argue that he's the hero of the story - sacrificing the only thing he ever loved to save life itself.
So MCU Groot is a product of parthenogenesis like some plants, aphids, and some lizards?

Sort of, though my understanding is that parthenogenesis is a mechanism that requires a female donor. Cloning a plant from a cutting is a form of asexual reproduction that I think doesn’t meet the technical definition of parthenogenesis.
That overly complicates something that is straight-forward: Groot died in front of Rocket, so it's only natural he would say "I am Groot" ("Dad") because of their adoptive relationship.
It's really hard to get understand how a conversation can go forward with someone who needs that explained. At least it would be if it wasn't obvious internet bravado.
Cut it out. It's against board policy to claim trolling, especially when no trolling is occurring.
You are looking at things with a human-centric perspective. It's "wrong" to kill humans seems to be self-evident to you, but is it? It isn't any more wrong for a higher being to kill humans than it is for humans to kill deer.
