* Ego's single-minded focus on his plans, to the detriment of all else, might well have been his undoing; if he'd had more patience he could well have succeeded. [[spoiler: The reason Peter had Celestial powers, when his half-siblings apparently didn't, could instead be because he was old enough to have developed them, ''without'' any interference from his biological father. If Ego didn't immediately get what he wanted he simply wrote his children off as a loss [[POweredByAForsakenChild and found another use for them;]] if he'd waited for them to reach maturity, it might well have been another story.]]



** [[spoiler: Also, that is a ''LOT'' of skeletons. Just how many children did Yondu hand over to be used and disposed of before he either discovered the truth, or got cold feet? Worse, was Yondu the only person Ego ever hired to do it? Given how long he's been around and how may skeletons thee were, Ego may have hired others in the past. He may have kept doing it even after Yondu bowed out by hiring someone else...]]

* [[spoiler:While Yondu's line "He (Ego) may be your father kid, but he ain't your daddy!" seems clever and funny, it may not makes sense at first since there's not much of a difference between the words... Or is it? "Father" is too formal and a respectable way to call your male parent but sometimes sounds forced, while "daddy" is more casual and is mostly used by kids. Yondu practically raised Peter since he was a kid and is definitely closer to him. Compare to Ego, who he just met. Ego may be Peter's FATHER but Yondu is his DADDY. In some translations is made more poignant, using the contrapposition betwen "father" and merely being a biological parent.]]

Meaning that on top of [[spoiler:assimilating countless worlds and exterminating their populations, Ego would have also gained the power of the Time Stone (the Eye of Agamotto) and the Space Stone (the Tesseract)]], something that would increase his powers exponentially.

If their mothers agreed (unlikely, since that would probably mean Ego revealing his true nature) then they never saw their children again, or learned what happened to them. And it's far more likely that Yondu kidnapped all of Ego's children that he was sent to collect, which has horrifying possibilities if the kids' families tried to protect them from being taken...]]
