Wait. Wait. They changed Groot's backstory? Whyyyy? It was genuinely interesting, I loved his progression f rom villain to hero. It's worth reading for anyone who hasn't, but I guess now he's going to be exactly what he is from the start. This is one thing that bothers me with mainstream audiences, they seem to really despise, rich, complicated backstories.
It's like what Gillen did to Stark. Instead of the backstory Stark used to have, where part of Stark's brilliance came from Ho Yinsen, his suit's co-builder, who started him down this road. Without Yinsen, Stark would never have turned out to be as brilliant as he was, the true genius was Yinsen himself. Of course, we can't have a minority ethnicity being responsible for one of our most brilliant Caucasian heroes, can we? So now Stark's backstory is that he was able to make his armour because he was a genetically engineered space baby. I'm not a fan.
I really hate this overrsimplification of origin they're doing, now.
I mean, what next? Peter was borne of and raised by Madame Web? Because Aunt May and Madame Web are secretly the same person shocker!

No thanks, Bendis. No thanks.
