7) Baby Groot And The Button
After Baby Groot’s show-stopping cameo at the end of the teaser trailer, we couldn’t wait to see the little twig again. Thankfully, he’s all over this new preview – and he’s as cute as hell.
We first see him when he’s failing to take in Rocket’s instructions. “Don’t push this button,” the raccoon explains. “Because that will set off the bomb immediately and we’ll all be dead.” Little Groot stares at him with innocent eyes and goes to push the shiny red button anyway. Even after Rocket explains the situation again, Groot continues to believe it’s the right thing to do.
It’s a funny scene that will entertain the children and any Groot-loving adult fans, but it also gives us a look at the new dynamic between Rocket and Groot. In the first movie, the pair were best buds and Groot’s unwavering kindness often served to cool Rocket’s short temper. This time it seems Baby Groot is the rogue one who needs to be kept in check by Rocket, who has become his caretaker rather than his pal.
