* ScrewedByTheLawyers: Thankfully avoided. Marvel did not realize that they didn't originally have the film rights to Ego until production on the movie was about to begin. Instead, his rights were with Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox, likely because of his ties to the ComicBook/FantasticFour and ComicBook/SilverSurfer franchises (which Fox had the license to until December 2017). Since Gunn did not have any other characters in mind for Star-Lord's father (and the movie would have had to be overhauled on short notice if he couldn't figure out a replacement), he had to ask Fox if he could use the character. Surprisingly, in a trading deal as audacious as Disney's earlier deal to get the rights to WesternAnimation/OswaldTheLuckyRabbit back, Fox actually agreed to this, on the condition that they have more creative freedom regarding Negasonic Teenage Warhead's set of superpowers in ''Film/Deadpool2016''.

** Ego shows the Guardians and Mantis a monument of Peter Quill single-handedly saving the universe during the Battle of Xandar. Peter loves it, saying that's exactly how it happened much to Gamora's annoyance. Rocket/Groot is shown to be nothing more than a blob with a face (with the other being absent) while Drax is depicted as a small chimp-like creature (causing Drax to assume he actually looked like that at the time and cannot work out how he didn't notice).
After Star-Lord states the he will create some "weird shit", Ego says that he wants to see that "weird shit", oonly to realize that it was disgusting saying that
** Rocket Raccoon asks Yondu Udonta if he had ever hear of floss
** The Watcher Informant talks to the Watchers about when he was a UsefulNotes/WorldWarII veteran
** Kraglin Obfonteri helps Star-Lord figure out how to work his new Zune.
** Mantis and Drax continue to bond after she becomes proud of being ugly. Mantis states sympathy for the fact that Gamora cannot trust anyone. Mantis uses her powers on Drax so that she may feel his sadness, but she also experiences the love and care he feels for his team.

** As a child in the eighties, Peter imagined his missing dad to be like one of the cool action heroes he saw on television. He even told other kids that Creator/DavidHasselhoff was his DisappearedDad, off shooting ''Series/KnightRider'', and carried a picture of him in his pocket -- he still has it, and shows it to Gamora when discussing Ego. When we finally meet Peter's biological father, he's actually portrayed by one of [[Creator/KurtRussell the '80s biggest action heroes]]. Ego even shapeshifts into Hasselhoff [[spoiler:when he's trying to calm Peter down after confessing he killed his mother]].
** One of Kurt Russell's most famous roles is in ''Film/TheThing1982'', a film where the antagonist is an alien whose goal is to [[AssimilationPlot assimilate all other life]]. [[spoiler:Ego's plan is essentially identical to The Thing's, but on a galactic scale]].
** Ego's role in the film is basically a variation on the plot of ''Film/{{Starman}}'' [[spoiler: except with the twist that the alien who loves a human woman is actually a [[EvilAllAlong sociopathic monster]] who has done this hundreds of times before.]]
** In the James Gunn film ''Film/{{Slither}}'', Michael Rooker played a character who had an encounter with an assimilating alien [[spoiler: and lost his life, except in that case he was assimilated and went on to assimilate others as the antagonist. Here, he fights and defeats the assimilating alien before giving his life to save his adoptive son]].
