6 Coolest Pop Culture Tree People (Not Named Groot)
The best laid plans of mice and men…I had the idea for this List of Six about a year ago. I knew that the Guardians of the Galaxy sequel was coming, and I thought this would make a neat list to post the week that movie came out. It would have been neat synergy! But then something happened to my brain and I forgot all about it. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 came and went (and was spectacular).
No longer the cutest Groot
Everybody loves Groot. He’s fantastic. He’s one of the only Guardians characters I actually like in the comics. Heck, I liked him before he was cool, back when the modern Guardians got their true start in the pages of Annihilation: Conquest. Groot is the best tree.
But he’s not the only tree! Join me after the jump for the six coolest tree people other than Groot!
Ducktales, Woo-oo!
I’m pretty sure I’m gonna try to watch the new Ducktales cartoon. I’ve got no reason not to. I loved the original, and I love how well cartoons are made today. I’m confident that the creative minds behind the new Ducktales have put together a quality show.
But maybe I won’t watch, because I’m lazy. At least we have this neat opening theme.
I’ll let you know if I watch. I’m excited for Gizmoduck. And I have to believe that someone, somewhere has discussed including Darkwing Duck in their new universe.

Glad to Hear Preacher is Coming Back!
We are living in peak prestige TV. In fact, I’ve started hearing rumblings that networks are starting to pull such shows off the air, since there are so many. And I’m loving them all! Or at least, the ones I’m watching. I’m only human and there’s only so much time in the day.
Anyway, Preacher gets a second season!
I loved the first season and I’m very much looking forward to the next. Season 2 will launch on June 25!

Oh Hey, They’re Making More Game of Thrones!
Did you know they’re making more Game of Thrones episodes? That’s pretty neat! I appreciate them wanting to finish the story and let us know what season 7 is gonna be like.
The trailer looks spiffy as heck. I don’t think we got any solid story or plot elements, but still, lots of neato action. I kind of hoped they’d end with a tease of Jon Snow meeting the Mother of Dragons. Now that would have been a good hook!

We Can All Breathe a Sigh of Relief, Gizmoduck Will Indeed Be in the New Ducktales Cartoon
If you were anything like me, you were wondering if Gizmoduck would appear in the new Ducktales cartoon. Welp…he will! And he’ll be voiced by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Neat!
Gizmoduck was my favorite character in the original cartoon — because I, uh, like superheroes. So I had my hopes up for the reboot cartoon. This is just a fun bit of confirmation that somethings in this world are A-OK.
Now we just need Darkwing Duck…
