For his part, Rocket, who will be the new leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy next to his unconditional wooden friend. In this scene, which is a recreation of the first time they decided to form a team, we see how Groot says a phrase that left us speechless because instead of saying his typical phrase “I am Groot.”we heard him say in perfect Spanish “I love you guys.”

The Groot’s tender phrase which clearly did not surprise his friends, unleashed an endless number of theories on social networks, but one was the one that caught the attention of fans and was the one shared by Gizmodo that assures that «Groot has not changed how he speaks. We, the audience, finally become part of the family enough to understand (his language) Groot, and what a beautiful way to add more emotional resonance to the film.»

Such was the euphoria of fans over this theory that a Twitter user directly asked James Gunn if it was true, to which he replied: “Spoiler… Yes, that’s exactly what it means.” It becomes clear to us, like Gamora at the end of the film, that we are also part, in our own way, of this misfit and crazy family.
