OMG Groot Is Actually Dead And Baby Groot Is His Son

I'm sorry, this is my fault.

So it's Tuesday afternoon, I had a 7 a.m. flight to New York this morning, and decided to work from home. Which means I get to watch movies while writing.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is on Netflix, and I just came from Disney, so I'm in a mood. This seemed perfect.

Idk why, but I started thinking about how Baby Groot is literally so effing cute. You know what else is cute? Porgs.

I'm exhausted and apparently a terrible person, so I tweeted this:

And I got a lot of passionate responses.

@Arielle07 Is this really a question? Groot! You save Baby Groot! He's a sentient being! Porgs are dinner. Just be… https://t.co/bLwNQU5HlY

@Arielle07 We better be saving both.

@Arielle07 You sacrifice yourself so they both can live!!

@Arielle07 Groot and then the two of us sit down to eat roast porg

And...oh man, I started a whole thing. James Gunn, writer and director of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, replied with some facts.

THIS IS *MESSED* UP https://t.co/sONnNOGAAi

First of all, Porgs are penguins?? Idk how legit that is, but still. Mind blown.

Second, he shut down the argument of Groot being able to care for himself REAL QUICK.

Honestly, things are getting heated.

AND THEN JAMES GUNN COMES AND RUINS MY DAY WITH THIS BOMBSHELL.

SO YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT GROOT DIED???

AND THIS IS HIS SON??????

WHY ARE YOU HURTING ME?

My life has changed and I don't know how to feel.
