SPOILERS: James Gunn revealed the last thing Groot said to Rocket in Avengers: Infinity War

OK, so, look, if you haven’t seen Avengers: Infinity War yet then go away… you shouldn’t be here. Seriously… the end of this movie is massive and we don’t want to spoil it.

Good… so you’ve all see the movie? Cool.

So, at the end of the movie Thanos wins. He gets the Infinity Stones, pops them in the Gauntlet and… Click!

Half of all life dies. Just disappears into dust. Including half of the Marvel heroes. Doctor Strange, Star Lord, Bucky, Spider-man… Groot. Loads of them go.

But, as Groot goes, he looks at Rocket and says ‘I am Groot’. Now, obviously, despite the movies’ lore, Groot is not a language, so the audience doesn’t know what he says. But if one man does, it’s James Gunn, writer and director of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 1 and 2 (and director of the Guardian scenes in Infinity War, fact fans).

And he was asked on Twitter (below) what Groot says before he, like so many others, turns into dust and vanishes. Well… he looks at Rocket and says ‘dad’.

Sniff.

Because, you know, that scene wasn’t enough of a kick in the feels.

Thanks, Mr Gunn. You broke us all at FTN HQ.

@JamesGunn Might be too soon to ask this, but do you know what Groot’s last line is at the end of the movie?
