The buzz surrounding Avengers: Infinity War has finally come to an end after the release of the film. But there is more to what everyone saw at the end of the film, courtesy- James Gunn.

Gunn, who directed Guardians of Galaxy Vol 1 and Vol 2, revealed the meaning of Groot’s last words to his best buddy Rocket before disintegrating into dust.

When a certain fan of the MCU asked the director about what Groot’s last words (I’m Groot) actually meant, the director’s reply was rather emotional, which many fans found out to be heartbreaking.

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

Yes, those of you who are not familiar with the language ‘Groot’, the Guardian’s youngest superhero speaks a language that can only be understood by people who knows Groot (quite confusing).

Rocket, who was the only surviving member of the Guardians, was the last one to share a moment with Groot before half of the universe was wiped out by Thanos.

The emotional scene between the two, which was not understood at first, shocked every MCU fan, who expressed their grief over social media.

That hurts the soul 😭

Everything hurts and I think I’m dying after that revelation

All I can hear in my head now is Rocket saying “No, no, no!” With the most anguish we’ve ever heard from Rocket. 💔

Immediately after realising about the collateral damage his revelation made, Gunn apologised to fans but it was too late as many fans already started their own speculations about the biological parents of Groot.

I’m sorry! He asked! It’s in the script!

Damn you James, you don’t do shit like this on a Sunday night! :C

If it’s any consolation, I wish I hadn’t asked now! 😂😭

Well, if you didn’t find Avengers: Infinity War emotional, this revelation from Gunn about Rocket and teenage Groot’s last encounter is pretty heartbreaking.

Avengers: Infinity War, featuring an ensemble cast, was released worldwide on April 27 in 2D and 3D formats.
