Groot’s big moment in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Guardians of the Galaxy 3 now makes much more sense – after this reveal from director 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Gunn.

Spoilers for the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Guardians of the Galaxy 3 ending follow.

As the Guardians get ready to say their goodbyes on Knowhere, Groot – who has only said "I am Groot" up until now in the trilogy – gets in on thꦦe group🤪 farewell and says "I love you guys."

What gives? Can Groot speak English now? And why couldn’t he before? The answer is a little deeper than you might expect♚.

posits that he no longer says "I Am Groot" because the past-era Gamora can finally understand Groot after being brought into the Guardians’ inner circle. Having been along on t🅺he ride for so long we, the audience, can also understand what the tree-ba🤡sed Guardian is saying.

In response, James Gunnꦇ , 🐬"Spoiler... Yes, that’s exactly what it means."

Still confused? Up until now, we – and several non-Guardians characters – couldn’t compr🐈ehend Groot's language because we didn’t have too close of an attachment to him. By the end of the trilogy, after🐬 experiencing all that the cosmic team has been through, we can now understand him.

So, no, he’s not speaking English. Try not to think too hard about it: it’s not a literal explanation, but it’s a nice summary of the trilogy’s themes about outcasts finally finding their place in the universe with each other. Trust Vin Diesel to find new ways to make us care ♏☂about family.
