    Of all the characters they had to pick from they chose Ego? WHY??

    Good question. As one of the few people on planet Earth who thoroughly disliked the first "Guardians" movie, it looks like everyone involved with it is stomping down on the gas pedal when it comes to The Zany. Don't get me wrong...I love Marvel Studios' clever use of humor in all of their films, but when it becomes the motivating force of a film (as it was for Guardians), it undermines the rest of their output. If Guardians was its own self-contained thing, no problem. It is what it is. But when (not "if") they combine the Guardians with the Avengers for the Infinity War movies, they're going to have a big tonal problem on their hands when it comes to The Zany. In other words, no room for dance-off challenges.

    EGO seems like an indication Guardians 2 is going for the camp jugular. Yes, Ego is a big, beloved part of Marvel's rich cosmology, and could possibly be used in a live action film...but as the father of Starlord? I dunno.

    The zany doesn't bother me. That's Marvel cosmic. In the comics The Punisher is in the same universe as Galactus and Eternity along with all of Starlin's trippy stuff...and I love that. The first Guardians movie was a lot like the DnA run of the title and this next film is adding Mantis which makes me happy. What I don't get is taking a cosmic character like Ego, giving him abilities we've never seen before, and making him related to a long established character. I just don't get it. I guess being the King of the Sparta Empire's son just isn't good enough...
    A piece of Ego has taken a humanoid form before. I agree though, this is weird and I'm not thrilled. Not against it either though.
