YOU Are Groot: Why We Love This Guardian of the Galaxy! | Comic Misconceptions (Patreon)

Groot is a hugely popular character thanks in no small part to the incredibly successful Guardians of the Galaxy movie. But why do we love Groot? Thanks to Scott McCloud's amazing book, Understanding Comics, we have some pretty good ideas. The "mechanics" of Groot as a character almost perfectly line up with the primary reason why we like comics and cartoons in the first place. Not only that, but it's possible that Groot is a comic book character that represents comic books themselves. I am Groot. You are Groot. We are all Groot! Q: Is there another reason why we like Groot? And do you see the correlations between him and the unique experience that only comics provide? Let's talk about it in the comments! Hosted by Scott Niswander (@ScottNiswander) Every Wednesday, Comic Misconceptions explores fascinating trivia, crazy stories, and mind-blowing theories about the comic book universe from Marvel, DC, and beyond!
