00:00Did you know that Ego was lying about being a celestial?
00:02In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, he presents himself as Peter Quill's father and as a divine
00:07being, explaining that his grand plan was to expand his consciousness throughout the universe.
00:11But when you compare this to other celestials in the MCU, his story begins to fall apart.
00:15To begin with, the celestials we see in Eternals are gigantic cosmic beings,
00:19with armor and a consistent design. Ego, on the other hand, is basically a brain controlling a
00:23planet, using a human-looking avatar to interact with others. This indicates that his physical
00:27and biological form is completely different from that of true celestials, but the real
00:31revealing detail comes now. Ego's plan involved planting seeds on thousands of different worlds,
00:36and we know that one of those planets was Earth, which is home to a dormant celestial.
00:39This makes it clear that his goal was not just to grow, but to feed on something extremely powerful.
00:44And here comes the scariest part, folks. This also explains why he needed a second celestial
00:48battery, which was his own sun. Only then could he activate the seeds spread across the planets.
00:52In other words, Ego's form is totally different from that of the other celestials,
00:56and his entire plan revolves around consuming planets that harbor these beings.
