If Marvel rooter were outrage to see a whole new crowd replace theGuardians of the Galaxy , we ca n’t wait to see how they oppose to the news that Star - Lord has been dispatch as Captain , and leader of the team . And his replacement is the last mortal we expected … actually , it ’s the last person we everdreamed potential .
When the news first broke that Marvel wasrebooting the Guardians of the Galaxy , it seemed a useful plait of fate , since the destiny of the Guardians movies ( and their director ) seemed changeable . In the final stage , thing worked out for both sides : thenew roster of Guardians heroesare fill with fan - favorites , andJames Gunn will directGuardians 3after all . But if it seemed like a wag - up of this scale was go to involve to claim at least one casualty , that 24-hour interval has arrived . Deemed unfit to lead the Guardians on their Modern mission , Peter Quill has been interchange … makingGrootthe team ’s new leader . It ’s about time .
Star-Lord’s New Enemy: Alcohol & Depression
Comic rooter already know they ’re more probable to see alcoholism and addiction dealt with in the pages of Marvel Comics ( Iron Man ’s planned , then dispute bout with alcoholismproved that ) . But whenGuardians of the Galaxy # 1begins , Star - Lord give the impression of being the only remain Guardian who live theInfinity Warsevent unscathed . sure enough , he had been mangle by Gamora , the woman he loved , then brought back to life to see her defeat and scattered to an unknown corner of the universe . But at least he wasn’tgoing full punk rock like Groot .
However , the second matter of the rebooted series unwrap the truth about his nab method . Seeing Peter Quill drunkard - dialing his old flame Kitty Pryde is good for a chortle or two … but Kitty is n’t express mirth , instead seeing his reliance on alcohol as a problem he need to call . When the eternal rest of Marvel ’s cosmic character united to form their own squad of ' Dark Guardians ' to hunt Gamora down and toss off her , the atmospheric pressure mounted even further , since Peter and his new Guardians are now Gamora ’s best fortune at endurance . It ’s more than any ex - swain should ever have to deal with – which is why Peter has n’t , dragging his feet alternatively .
But when your crowd consist of Orcinus orca cosmic warriors and mighty God - like champions , sitting and doing nothing can only go on for so long . So inGuardians of the Galaxy # 3 , the work party is ultimately forced to act . They wo n’t stand by and let Gamora be killed by outlaws in the name of cosmic criminal offence prevention . The new Guardians necessitate a drawing card who will behave . A drawing card who is n’t drowning in his guilt trip , injury , or the drink . A loss leader who is quick .
A leader who is … Groot?You well think it .

Groot is Named The Guardians’ New Leader
It truly is a glorious day in the Marvel Universe , as it was always destined to be when Groot finally received the retentive delinquent acknowledgement from his teammates . And while those teammates in question may be completelydifferentnow , their unanimous favourable reception and support for ' Captain Groot , drawing card of the Guardians of the Galaxy ' proves they have their anteriority straight .
Being selected to lead by Gamora , Drax , or Rocket Raccoon may fall with a few caveats , considering how questionable their tastes and sensibilities have been over the age . But to be chosen as a meet commander by Phylla - Vel ( daughter of Mar - Vell , and a former Captain Marvel),Moondragon ( daughter of Drax ) , and even the fan - favorite cosmic genius Beta Ray Bill , an honorary Asgardian blessed by Odin himself … well , it ’s obviously more of an honor than small Groot would ever let on . Even if both he and Peter Quill have their reasons to keep their distance from both Gamora and Rocket Raccoon , it ’s onlyGrootwho is willing to do what it takes . Although that might be his new tough rock cynicism at work … it ’s hard to tell for sure .
Will Captain Groot Lead The Guardians To Victory?
Before fans get to observe too much , we should offer the great circumstance , since Captain Groot is going to be the last person using this furtherance as a lawsuit for patting himself on the back . After all , he has been named the new sea captain and loss leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy so that the team can actually do something to save Gamora . A move that may cease up being a error : if themaster project to revive Thanos on a raw bodyis more than just a last laugh , and if Gamora actually IS the vessel he has choose , then Groot and his Guardians are wagering millions of lives that ‘ help their friend ’ wo n’t also doom the galaxy . If they are wrong , then Groot may not only be remembered as the last leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy … but the one thatgot them all killed .
Since this is the world of comic books we ’re talking about , the odds are sure enough in Groot ’s favour . But even if his Guardians manage to interceptStarfox and his Dark Guardiansbefore they can defeat Gamora , and even if Star - Lord finds the bowel to struggle as part of the squad , words are n’t likely to end their standoff . Even with the comic book adaptation of Groot capable to speak intelligently , and even with his way more intimidate spiked shoulder and mohawk , he may stop up realise that Star - Lord ’s breaking point was a long sentence coming . It ai n’t easy being the captain when you ’ve got the Guardians to lead .
Guardians of the Galaxy # 3is available now from your local risible store , and straight fromMarvel Comics .
