What was once a bad a– character in the comics has now become a shadow of its former self, to say the least.
Some fans have been complaining about Baby Groot just being a marketing gimmick for Guardians of the Galaxy 2, and while James Gunn might not think so, it seems pretty clear the Disney execs do.
Case in point is the following Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and Geico spot, which you have to admit comes off a bit cringe-worthy as it teams Baby Groot with the Geico Gecko.
What’s next? Baby Groot teaming with The Muppets?
