Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 Trailers: 7 Reasons To Be Concerned About The Film

Ever since that first scene at the end of Guardians Of The Galaxy, Baby Groot's become a fan-favourite, and one of Marvel's most popular characters.

But that popularity came from the fact that he was used sparingly; the lack of Groot in the first movie made him feel special. And, like anything, if he's overused, he could become stale, and if there's one thing we can take away from Vol 2's trailers, it's that Baby Groot is being positioned as the star of the show.

We know this because that second trailer was pretty much built around that Groot/Rocket scene and the first trailer ends with him, using him as the 'cliffhanger' - the part most people will remember. Marvel understand he's a big deal and fans want more, and he'll almost certainly have a bigger role in Vol. 2.

But more isn't always good; Groot works better in small doses, when given smaller moments to shine that're peppered throughout a movie. His dialogue is limited and he can't carry too many scenes, and the first movie understood this, using him sparingly and with great comedic effect.

But like anything that proves insanely popular, there's a risk that it could be overused, and misused, in the sequel. Not only would this diminish Groot's impact if he's the centre of a joke every five minutes, but it would negatively impact a franchise that's about the team, and not about one player.
