Guardians of the Galaxy Vin Diesel is Groot!

[obin_gam]

So... who should voice him and do the motioncapture?

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Think they'll have him talk or stick to "I am Groot!"?

 

[obin_gam]

Hm... thats a good question. If they just going to have him say I AM GROOT and nothing more, then I'm afraid he could be considered (or viewed by the general audience) as a sort of Hulk-rip-off. Which should not be the case!

Then again, having him talk more kinda goes against his character a bit, and the fact that he only uses those three words when he talks to others is part of what makes him such a great character.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I'd rather him stick to "I am Groot!" but speak so infrequently that it's not silly. That way, we can get the awesome scenes where Rocket can understand him

 

[Chewy]

I hope he sticks to "I am Groot". And how awesome would it be if Brian Blessed voiced him?

 

[Darthphere]

Doug Jones.

 

[CaptainAwesome]

I wonder if Treebeard is available to play Groot

 

[T"Challa]

I'd rather he said things other than Iam Groot. I just feel it would come across as too silly if thats all he has.

 

[Chewy]

The lack of dialogue is part of his charm. Having him only say it and only at pivotal moments would be a ballsy and awesome choice

Yeah, I don't want him to be super chatty

 

[Captain Marvel]

Yeah, his saying nothing but "I am Groot" is part of his charm, and I'd hate to lose that. I don't want to see a contemplative Groot, a brooding Groot, or a wisecracking Groot. I want to see a Groot that says "I am Groot" every once in a while and that's it.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

And of course he needs to get destroyed in the final fight only to come back as a sapling at the very end

 

[Roose Bolton]

Brad Pitt should play Groot.

 

[Darthphere]

Johnny Depp is Groot.

 

[jonathancrane]

Rob Schneider is....Groot.

 

[Avenger]

You totally should have titled this "I am the Groot Thread!"

I think it'd be more fun if he only says "I am Groot," too. They could actually do some neat things with that. It's all about the set-up from other characters, as well as Groot's tone and inflections.

Ah damnit, your right Missed opportunity of the century

 

[Roose Bolton]

I wonder if they're going to pull the whole "sacrifises himself to save the team" bit that he pulls off so well.

 

[obin_gam]

He's too old

 

[Silvermoth]

I wonder if Treebeard is available to play Groot

No, he got board with acting

 

[JB-the-Hunter]

Moar wood jokes!

OAKay but a little on the nose

 

[jonathancrane]

Maple we should move on to something else.

I think the " I am..." line has potential to be iconic, if handled right.

 

[Darthphere]

WOOD you guys stop?
