Ending Explained

In the climax of "Guardians of the Galaxy," directed by James Gunn, the Guardians confront Ronan the Accuser, who plans to use the powerful Orb to destroy the planet Xandar. The team, consisting of Peter Quill (Star-Lord), Gamora, Drax, Rocket, and Groot, stages a daring assault on Ronan's ship, the Dark Aster. During the battle, Groot sacrifices himself to protect the team, encasing them in a protective cocoon of branches.
