A bit of review \n\n

Because we really enjoyed this movie.

\n\n The team \n\n

A human, a green humanoid, an enhanced raccoon, Drax, and a hypermobile hyperintelligent tree.

\n\n Rocket Raccoon \n\n

Cybernetic skeletons. Animal intelligence. Cognitive enhancement and different types of intelligence.

\n\n Drax \n\n

Kinda like a grey hulk. Putting our lack of comics expertise on display.

\n\n Groot \n\n

How plants work. Nitrogen from the air making 50% of tree biomass. Plant regeneration and communication.

\n\n Language considerations! Yay! \n\n

Possible layers of complexity under \u201cI am Groot.\u201d The different ways that could or could not represent language. The complexity of metaphors and similar linguistic mechanisms, and how Drax\u2019s people could lack understanding. Thermians. Tamarians.

\n\n Old Terran technology \n\n

Chris Pratt\u2019s cassette tapes. Batteries. Audio cassette technology. Wearing oxides and tape-stretching.
