Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3: “We Are Groot”

Maybe the smartest, most subtle thing James Gunn did in Vol. 3 was let the audience into the family. At the end of the film, for the first time in the MCU, we hear Groot say words that aren’t “I am Groot,” The implication is that finally, we understand his language too. We’re part of the family. It’s one of the best payoffs in the entire franchise.
