"Magnum Opus" is the fifth episode of the Disney+ streaming television shorts series I Am Groot and was released on August 10, 2022. It was written and directed by Kirsten Lepore.
Groot sets out to paint a family portrait of himself and the Guardians, and goes to great lengths to collect art supplies and forge his masterpiece. Rocket stumbles upon Groot’s efforts and quickly discovers just how messy—and disastrous—the artistic process can be.
Plot[]
Groot is going around the ship, collecting things. He snips off some of Rocket's tail hair and steals Drax's bar of soap. With arts and crafts, he begins to create a diorama. This all builds up to him creating a bomb to add the finishing touches to it and blows a hole in a room on the ship. Alerted to the sound, Rocket enters and discovers Groot's actions as he patches up the hole with duct tape. Rocket sees the final drawing that Groot drew and is genuinely impressed with it. Before he can do anything else, the hole gets bigger and starts sucking things out, but Groot rescues him. His drawing is seen floating in space.
This episode marks the first Marvel production to receive a G rating from the MPA.
Errors[]
Groot’s drawing is supposed to be his sacrifice from the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie, but James Gunn stated that this Groot is supposed to be the son of the first Groot who sacrificed himself. Also Groot II is not supposed to have any memories of Groot I.
