yea post-9/11 Cap unmasked himself as a show of being for America rather than glory and poo poo. One of the few 9/11 Marvel things that was actually pretty solid. Did that come with him making his big "America doesn't know what it is right now" speech or was that a Civil War thing?

I'm pretty sure Bucky was still dead at that point, so it's contrasting the loss of one friend with what Cap fears is the loss of another. But don't quote me or anything, I haven't read the source material in full.

He didn't want America being blamed for killing the terrorist, because the terrorists guys whole thing was about punishing Americans for the countries involvement in foreign affairs. "America didn't kill him. I did."

Basically all they kept of comics-Bucky is the name, branch of service, and that he died in the war. Seriously. Movie-Bucky looks like, has the backstory of, is the age of, and in all other respects IS Arnie Roth.

I recall a page I saw with Groot where, for reasons I do not understand, he reflected on all of the great moments in Marvel history. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and can they point me toward the panels?

It's a good moment, but I can't help but see this as Marvel shamelessly patting themselves on the back for their progressiveness. How the hell does he even know Northstar?


This, however, is pure wonder.

It's a goddamn shame that the Groot series by Loveness and Kesinger didn't run for longer than six issues. It was such a fun book.

X-O posted:

This is more than I generally like to see posted from one book in these panel threads, but this is the very definition of this thread.


From Groot #6, Groot has sought out Jean Grey to help him find someone on Earth with her psychic powers and is recounting this story to her.



Jean locates the person for a reunion.

At first it was brain damage from being burned and regrowing himself, but they retconned so that's just how is species is now.

I actually like that retcon. In detail: Groot's species have a rich and complex language, but for some reason the human ear can only interpret anything said in it as "I am Groot". The whole emphasis switched from Groot having an imperfect brain to humans having the imperfect brains.

Except that story explicitly reconnects back to the old Tales to Astonish type stuff, where the Groot that invaded Earth (with the horn shaped branches on his head) could talk quite eloquently. I'm just glad they remembered it in the story, that's good enough for me.

Did the whole I am Groot thing precede the GotG movie? Or did it come from that?

Also I forget exactly what iconic page that baby groot page is parodying. I want to say something with Wolverine?

It predates the movie. I want to say it's from Annihilation: Conquest.

Groot's introduced in Conquest in full size, and fully articulate, is burnt to a twig which whispers unintelligibly, growing over size over the following issues except all he's saying is I am Groot.
