‘Avengers: Infinity War’ TV Spot: Teenaged Groot Has An Attitude
As he’s been depicted thus far in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Groot has been an emotionally pure, well-meaning, and protective talking alien tree. But after he sacrificed himself for theGuardiansat the end of their first movie and spent all ofGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2as Baby Groot, the character has grown into a moody teenager. In a newAvengers: Infinity WarTV spot, we see just how much he’s changed and get a look at Groot’s newfound attitude. The words “I am Groot” have never sounded so sarcastic.

That TV spot is full of a lot of footage we’ve already seen spread across thefirsttwoofficial trailers for the film, but the bit with the Guardians at the end is totally new. Mirroring scenarios every parent of the last 30 years has likely faced, Peter Quill is in the driver’s seat and wants Groot to quit playing video games in the back seat. But the temperamental teen responds sarcastically in the only words he knows, and even Rocket Raccoon is taken aback by what the teenaged tree says. “Whoa, language!” Rocket exclaims, recallinga running gag inAvengers: Age of Ultronin which Captain America takes umbrage with people swearing around him.
But my favorite part of this new footage is imaginingVin Dieselin a recording studio somewhere, having to hone in on theperfectamount of sarcasm when delivering his lines as teen Groot. What a mental image. For more on how the Guardians fit into the events ofInfinity War,click here.
