You could say it was a planet-sized hint.

It also makes sense even with the baggage surrounding the word removed because he exists. He is pure, purposeless existence that gave up trying to find its own meaning a long time ago. He is the ego in its most literal sense.

You can almost say, he's got an ego the size of a planet.

Although, given all those images of him, uh, romancing various aliens on other planets, you could also call him "Ego the Loving Planet."

...yes, that was an actual story in the comics. Ego arrived to, uh, romance Earth, but left when it realized that there were humans on it (humans being the equivalent to, uh, crabs).

I totally read that in Kurt Russell's voice and it was glorious.

[up][up][up]Better than sticking his dick in an Earth woman to try and get another kid who could maybe finally help him assimilate the entirety of existence, then gifting her with a terminal illness the minute that he caught feelings because he was in love with himself too much to have anything distract him from it.

As someone who plays a lot of FTL: Faster Than Light, I thought Mantis looked more like a Slug.

So I know Mantis being ugly is a running gag but was anybody else oddly attracted to her?

And I like that Mantis is decidedly a non-combatant but proves herself useful to the team in her own way.

It was kind of odd to be reminded of that sh... movie while watching Got G Vol 2....really elevated Vol 2 even more.

I guess Peter is now human unless the plot feels that he isn't. But he is no longer overpowered and immortal. Also...is Ego really dead?

I just felt so bad for Mantis. Spending your entire life as the pet of a psychopath and being fully aware of his activities but also being powerless to stop him has to make you hate yourself on some level.

What about Yondu? Knowing that you have unwittingly sent hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of orphaned children to their death... No wonder he's so hard on himself.

I want to see the first Got G again, now with the everything we learnt from Vol 2 about Yondu's guilt and his relationship with Peter.

My favorite scene in the movie was Ego mentioning he put a brain tumor in Meredith's head. Firstly because a god killing a mortal because falling in love with her threatens his divinity is a neat, classic idea. Secondly because Peter reacts to this completely rationally. There is no hesitation, no angry accusations, nothing; he immediately snaps out of the pseudo-hypnosis, pulls out both guns, and shoots Ego to pieces before he can get another word out, without saying a word himself.

So anyone else notice that Peter's flirting with the High Priestess was working? She was down.

Yeah, she seemed rather... eager for an... "educational" experience.

Like, you would expect the joke to be either that she doesn't get it, or that Peter tries to play casanova and it fails because he isn't as cool as he thinks he is. But no, turns out Peter is exactly as cool as he thinks he is.

I like the general vibe that the Sovereign are a lot more immature and uncouth than they present themselves. Like, they think they're elves, but they're more like the hypocritical preppy kids who can't take an insult from your typical 80's teen movie.

The fact that they're such assholes was probably meant to cover the fact that they're not entirely wrong to be hunting down our heroes, though.

"You suck, Zylak." The Sovereign were definitely supposed to be less cool than they were presented to be at first.

The Sovereign have a right to be angry about the theft, but I don't think that this gives them the right to throw a murderous temper tantrum. It is one thing to hunt the Got G down in the beginning or to hire Ravengers in order to get back what was stolen as well as some sort of justice (even if I don't agree with the kind of justice they are dishing out). It is an entirely different thing when they attack in the end, because then they don't care whatsoever for collateral damage. Mantis could have gotten killed and she had nothing to do with the theft.
