wait so who the fuck actually watched guardians of the galaxy

I never even fucking watched it but I always knew that "I am Groot" came from it but I thought it was just like 1 line from the movie.

But it's everything that Groot says.

That Aesiir guy is speaking in Groot language. I didn't know that.

I feel like a mentally challenged iguana since I just discovered this...

 

Why an iguana?

 

Iguana (/ɪˈɡwɑːnə/, Spanish: [iˈɣwana]) is a genus of herbivorous lizards native to tropical areas of Mexico, Central America, several islands in Polynesia such as Fiji and Tonga, and the Caribbean. The genus was first described in 1768 by Austrian naturalist Josephus Nicolaus Laurenti in his book Specimen Medicum, Exhibens Synopsin Reptilium Emendatam cum Experimentis circa Venena. Two species are included in the genus Iguana: the green iguana, which is widespread throughout its range and a popular pet, and the Lesser Antillean iguana, which is native to the Lesser Antilles and endangered due to habitat destruction.

The word "iguana" is derived from the original Taino name for the species, iwana.

In addition to the two species in the genus Iguana, several other related genera in the same family have common names of the species including the word "iguana".


Iguana can range from 5 to 6 feet (1.5 to 1.8 m) including their tail. The two species of lizard within the genus Iguana possess a dewlap, a row of spines running down their backs to their tails, and a third "eye" on their heads. This eye is known as the parietal eye, visible as a pale scale on the top of the head. Behind their necks are small scales which resemble spokes, known as tuberculate scales. These scales may be a variety of colors and are not always visible from close distances. They have a large round scale on their cheeks known as a subtympanic shield.

Iguanas have great vision and can see shapes, shadows, colors, and movement at long distances. Iguanas use their eyes to navigate through crowded forests, as well as for finding food. They use visual signals to communicate with other members of the same species.

The tympanum, the iguana's ear drum, is located above the subtympanic shield and behind the eye. Iguanas are often hard to spot, as they tend to blend into their surroundings. Their scale colors are a mode of hiding from larger predators.

Male iguanas, as well as other male members of the order Squamata, have three hemipenes.

Shit movie tbh

 

Because I thought it would be offensive if I were a chameleon.

 

Thank you for that Donald.

 

I watched it. Didn't think it was that good, just a rehashed attempt at Star Wars basically. No idea why it got such rave reviews.

 

I am Groot.

 

This movie was amazing?! Damn Marvel haters

A hemipenis (plural hemipenes) is one of a pair of intromittent organs of male squamates (snakes, lizards and worm lizards). Hemipenes are usually held inverted, within the body, and are everted for reproduction via erectile tissue, much like that in the human penis. Only one is used at a time, and evidence indicates males alternate use between copulations as a behavioral means of increasing sperm transfer when the interval between copulations is relatively brief.

The hemipenis itself has a variety of shapes, depending on species. Often, the hemipenis bears spines or hooks, in order to anchor the male within the female. Some species even have forked hemipenes (each hemipenis has two tips). Sexual conflict over copulation duration may have shaped the evolution of hemipenis morphology, favoring more elaborate organs in species in which a long duration of copulation is especially beneficial to males, despite the associated costs to females. Due to being everted and inverted, hemipenes do not have a completely enclosed channel for the conduction of sperm, but rather a seminal groove which seals as the erectile tissue expands.

The word hemipenis (plural "hemipenes") comes from the word "hemi", meaning half, and "penis".

No problem lad.

 

I've seen most of the hyped up movies this year and I would put Xmen on top and TMNT on second

 

Majestic as fuck

 

Mixed reviews. I thought Groots death and revival was a bit rushed and should have been focused on more.

I've learned a lot about iguanas so far

 

I'm a big fan of Marvel. I just thought the movie was crap lol.
