But... it broke my heart to put that tumor in her head
I think it was a little overboard to make Ego do that. I think he was evil enough to make him a threatening antagonist.
Definitely the best antagonist in the MCU so far.
Arguably the only really good one.
He did nothing wrong, if I was a living planet I'd do the same
Starlord:
What a twist.
this. he's just trying not to be alone in a universe where almost nothing like him exists
...
I still don't get the leap in logic to go from "I want to meet another living thing" to "I want to kill all other life so it is just me all alone with myself like before"
I think they should have just had him do that and not the whole "destroy the universe" shlock that we see constantly.
GotG2 is such a frustrating movie. I liked Ego a lot but the quip overload was just too much, no moment could stay serious for more then 5 seconds. For every one thing it does good it does another thing so poorly.
>Dude I’m gonna take over the universe with stock B movie footage LMAO
Fuck off, the MCU has no good villains. Kurt’s interviews are better than the movie because he’s actually interesting and fun.
imo it was unrealistic that they could beat him so easily. I guess his biggest weakness was that he couldnt sense where people are ..like at all. Even if they are flying around directly in his heart
>Stepdad
>Good
Vulture was decent, the dude in Iron Man 3 was decent. But Ego actually has the kind of special role in the narrative and life of the protagonist that you'd want in a comic book villain.
>Stepdad
Pretty sure he's her biological father. No way that chick is more than 1/4th black.
This. Morality is only species specific. When you are the only one of your kind you have no moral imperative to respect the livelyhoods of other living beings
This is why we should NEVER build a AI superintelligence
>Fondu is Starlord’s surrogate dad now
Was this built up and I missed it completely or what? I never got a Father/Son vibe from them.
There’s not even a flashback or anything.
>I still don't get the leap in logic to go from "I want to meet another living thing" to "I want to kill all other life so it is just me all alone with myself like before"
He's not at all like any other form of life. He just pretends to be to get his way. In reality, the small temporary organisms around him just aren't good enough for a living planet.
all I remember about the movie is that it was too fucking colorofull, like holy shit there has to be a limit I nearly got a seizure and I'm not even epileptic
>Kurt will die in your lifetime
>DUDE LETS HAVE EGO EXPLAIN THE PLOT IN POWERPOINT SLIDES BECAUSE HAHA WRITING
Did you mis the point where he said he was disappointed with what he found?
>imo it was unrealistic that they could beat him so easily. I guess his biggest weakness was that he couldnt sense where people are ..like at all. Even if they are flying around directly in his heart
Do you know where every individual gut bacterium is in your body?
Nah we should, just program it to love us
Ego wanted to be omnipotent, he wanted to be the only power in the Universe, he figured it could be easier if he could create another demigod then there could be two of him and they could rule together, when that didnt work he would rather rule the universe alone than rule his tiny planet with interaction with other lesser life forms
>I liked Ego a lot but the quip overload was just too much, no moment could stay serious for more then 5 seconds. For every one thing it does good it does another thing so poorly.
did we watch the same movie there are like 6 silly jokes in the entire movie and all are pretty tame and well placed. Much less quippy than typical marvel fare
>fondu
say waaa?
I guess we couldn’t see that. That’s something that can’t be relayed visually.
I mena it’s not like we got 10 minutes worth of footage where he is obviously enjoying himself with Pete’s Mom.
Out of curiosity, why was he disappointed?
No. NO!
No, he still didn't want to be alone. It's just he considers being surrounded with beings unlike him as just as bad as being alone. It had to be equals, and since he's Ego, the only thing that could equal him is himself.
It was in the first movie my kang
I wanna nut in the bug chink.
Its actually pretty terrifying. Even as an immortal, all powerful being, Ego still doesn't know/have a meaning for life. He can exist for all time, but to what end or purpose? Even more so than mortals this fact ways on him as his pointless existence drags on for eternity. And eventually, his lonely, delusional mind conjures up the idea an intergalactic genocide is his "purpose".
Sidenote: Marvel needs to stop throwing away good villains. Ego and Red Skull both had a lot of mileage left. Now all we have is boring ass Loki.
same
It shows his detachment from the lives of normies.
Who else got drug out to see this with friends and pretended to like it?
delet
at the end of GotG 1 Yondu smiles knowingly and doesnt seem all that perturbed at Star Lords betrayal when he didnt give him the infinity stone. its clear that he considers him like a brother or a son
That makes three of us
Damn. Ego had a hard life...
>Sidenote: Marvel needs to stop throwing away good villains. Ego and Red Skull both had a lot of mileage left. Now all we have is boring ass Loki.
Red Skull was intended to come back but Hugo Weaving apparently hated the role. In general though I agree. Kill/maim more heroes, kill less villains.
he's done mostly bad work his entire career and he's part of why we have to deal with goldie hawn
>it loves us so much that it won't allow any of us to suffer so it wipes out the earth
>he's done mostly bad work his entire career
Shut your dumb slut mouth
>Sidenote: Marvel needs to stop throwing away good villains. Ego and Red Skull both had a lot of mileage left. Now all we have is boring ass Loki.
as much as ego was a great villian he needed to die because he would be too much of a potential equal to Thanos and would also make Starlord too OP to the point of boringness
All I remember is Peter shitting on Xanadu for half the movie, and then the latter laughing at the troll doll.
I mean he keeps them from eating Pete, apparently.
It just seems like Starlord didn’t know Wombo was his dad until the audience did, even though Gumby plays it up like he’s be his daddy for three decades or something, right before his nonsensical death.
I’d rather watch a Ravagers adventure film ft. Young Quill instead of this awkward Guardians crap. It’s frustrating to jump from scenes with Rooker, who can actually deliver lines, to Zoe Saldana and whoever played Nebula.
I understand what he wanted to do. but why kill the mother in such a way? for what purpose
>the leaked footage of her from Infinity War where she's constantly doing a mantis martial arts pose
Good. Good. Yes.
>as much as ego was a great villian he needed to die because he would be too much of a potential equal to Thanos
Have Thanos kill him in Infinity War. IIRC the comics version had Thanos going around fucking up potential threats like Galactus anyway.
>Big Trouble
>The Thing
>Escape from New York
>Escape from LA
>Tombstone
>Fox and the Hound
>H8ful 8
>Sky High
why did he even told peter that? at least he could've just lied and said "peter when I fucked your mom my powers gave her cancer, that's why she died" or something like that
They're probably gonna do one with Stallone and crew.
Right, I figured it was more like a brother or uncle or something. More along the lines of Hero/Antihero.
I mean there is not one scene of Mohawk teaching Quill like a life lesson or something. One scene is all you needed. The time it took for Drax’s turd joke.
a fraction of his filmography
Speaking of which, I literally could not understand a word out of Stallone’s mouth.
that would have been an unceremonious send off. It was much better to have Star Lord come to terms with the fact that his real father wasn't anything like he had hoped to be, that he was an entity that had no respect for life or the love his mother had for him and ultimatley had to resolve to destroy his own father.
Could you ever?
>Mohawk teaching Quill like a life lesson
He was audible in Creed. I got more from Stallone than Michael B. Jordan, who I can never quite make out.
this. Ego was so close to having Quill on his side, but then "HURRR SUCKS I HAD TO PUT THAT TUMOR IN HER HEAD"
like nigga what
I think he felt like Quill got him and that he could unburden himself safely.
I guess its better to break it early when hes less threatening than do it later when he has a full grip on his god powers
I don’t remember this scene, what happens in it?
Ego had just shown peter the light and figured he was on his side already. Ego also doesnt understand love, death is just another fact of life and he assumes Peter already sees things his way now so how could he care about a silly thing like love. Ego is out of touch with human emotions he doesnt think like a human
Why did he even give her a tumor when a heart attack is much more painless and quick. It didn't make sense because he cared about her but gave her one of the most painful and slowest deaths imaginable.
what album is this?
big
BLUE
_______
Maybe he has problems thinking on that scale. Taking a year or so with a tumor might seem like the blink of an eye to him.
Why does Ego’s semen need two celestials to penetrate a planet?
probably was natural enough and would give her time to get her priorities straight and say her goodbyes to people on Earth
Peter is dying by the hands of Ego and sees his friends dying too, he remembers all the good times and then gains enough strength to fight Ego.
I don't see why they can't just recast Red Skull. Get Doug Jones, I'm sure he'll do it for an autographed picture of Guillermo del Toro.
>traffic light turns green to mimick vulture glow
see it's the little things like that
but it looked like ego had actual feelings for peter's mom, or at least he cared more for her than the other space bitches
he said that he cared for her deeply and would be tempted to spend the rest of her life with her if he visited her again. He resolved his work of universal expansion was more important than love and removed her to remove temptation.
He "loved" her in a hedonistic way, not in a selfless way
you faggots still imply dc's shitty evil clown, evil millionaire villains are better?
why in the scenes where you see ego having sex with all those alien races he is in the human form?
No. Where'd you get that idea?
It's for Quill's benefit. He didn't actually look like that at the time.
I liked this movie much more than the first one to be honest

Stargate
>Do you know where every individual gut bacterium is in your body?
Am I a super powerful being capable of shaping and bending reality to my will including making a body for myself?
Could be pragmatism too. He's seeding bitches and planets remember, probably thinks the tumor gives her enough time to grow his seed, rear it to a proper age then along comes Yondu to pick it up. Wasn't he abducted like the night his mom kicked it?
The other celestials were born near each other and basically helped each other learned how to manipulate matter.
Ego was separated somehow and just went crazy from loneliness.
Really wish they had come up with a better death for Yondu than some gay space bubble and a mirror of Quill and that chick
Literally did nothing wrong.
Stark made billions selling weapons to terrorists and anyone else with money and got praised for it. Wtf can't he
Also
Deathproof and Bone Tomahawk
>The fox and the hound
WHAT
I mentioned Stargate you... you double-illiterate.
fucking this. vulture has relatable motivations and is actually a pretty stand up guy for a supervillain.
Celestial is a catch-all name for all kinds of powerful but unrelated entities.
Maybe
His villain turn was way too quick. Should have been a slow burn, but Marvel films have to pander to lowest common denominators
are you faggots actually hating Overboard?
POSTING IN A REDDIT FAGGOT MARVEL THREAD
I haven't actually seen it yet so I can't judge unlike Sup Forums where judgement comes before experience.
You being right shouldn’t be based on somebody else’s wrong. He was absolutely in the wrong. He was also boring as sin.
The ironic part is that so was Spiderman, but the only heat he takes is from nu-Stark.
>Jesus Peter, you almost caused the deaths of thousands by intervening in a sting operation I was monitoring but took an arbitrary amount of time responding to so the movie could happen
>But good work crashing that plane and almost causing 9/11 Part 2: Electric Boogaloo, a plane that would have otherwise just been robbed
Homecoming was absolute trash, beginning to end.
He literally raised him from like 10 years old
