i used to keep up with the MCU, and the most impactful scene to me was the origin of this music. near the end of "Guardians of the Galaxy" (2014), the protagonists are trapped on a crashing spacecraft. the tree character, Groot, realizes they're all going to die and decides to grow into a cocoon around them. despite knowing he isn't going to survive, he willingly gives his life to protect his family. the beauty of his musical theme (which is so different from any other character) and the nature of his sacrifice has always felt intrinsically Christian.
Jesus, the Son of God, is our Tree of Life. without Him we are headed toward destruction; our roots are rotting and our spirits are dead. but He knew this and loved us so much He willingly gave His life to save us from our eternal death. Christ's death saved us from death, and His resurrection brings us to life too! we are made whole by receiving His Holy Spirit; an everlasting seal of adoption. it's only by connecting to the true Vine that we will thrive eternally.
"And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God's Son does not have life." -1 John 5:11-12
