@@amarlamar467 totally and with no memory of a previous celestial style body he would be force to be 100% original explaining his different forms. And only starting as an organic brain it would explain why everything created by just his originality is all organic like.
People say “oh, he’s feeding from the planet’s core” No he FORMED the planet. The entire thing is directly routing his nervous system. We can see this when Mantis puts him to sleep by touching a “nerve”.
Yesn’t. Playing devil’s advocate, it’s possible that he was indeed feeding off of the core, but he requires continuous power. It’s like an old arcade machine with no batteries: If you unplug it, it immediately turns off. He clearly has the power to turn it back on without using that energy, but it checks out. Evidence of this is that he will become mortal without connection to the core, and there can be more than one connection to the core. This seems to indicate that he is in a symbiotic relationship with the core, although a very beneficial relationship. Does this make him a different being from the core? NO!!! Just like mitochondria are considered an organelle of a cell, so is he a part of this. He is to the core what the brain is to the body: the body takes care of the brain, and the brain teaches the body how to best take care of both itself and the brain. One cannot properly exist without the other.
@@theomni1012 It seems more like he uses the planet to protect himself since he said that when came into existence he was nothing but over billions of years he learned to control particles
*Much simpler explanation:* You need the energy of a host planet for a celestial seed to get a body. His emergence went wrong, he never got a body and all the celestials thought he was never born and left……so he was born premature without his celestial family or awareness of his existence.
This is probably the most probable theory so far, cause with powers like he has he is definitely some form of a Celestial, at least in terms of the MCU

Here's a thought: what if Ego, The Living Planet was just that?! Like it was in the comics. But at least what they went with is better than a nebulous cloud named Galactus.
Im not sure the comics Ego was remotely as powerful and could manipulate matter outdide of his planet form. Nor form an Avatar to travel around freely and still had his powers and conciousness.
Or a variation of that where he’s a Celestial that figured out how not to emerge from his shell and instead control it parasitically. Once he figured that out, he probably decided he didn’t want to be taking orders from other Celestials and should just be in charge.

Its also conceivably possible that his form is what he chose to be born as. When it comes to Celestials, they can change their being to grow/shrink. It is also conceivable that, they being super powerful god-like entities, would be able to transform their shape into a humanoid, or make themselves into a planet. They are essentially gods, they can be anything and nearly do anything.

I feel like ego has nothing to do with celestials and he just called himself that having heard of the actual celestials. He was just trying to put a label on what he was without understanding what celestials really are.
Ego always reminded me of this idea I heard about somewhere. Basically that given an infinite universe(or just enough time and space) matter molecules could somewhere potentially arrange themselves in such a way to spontaneously create a sentient, living being.
My theory is that he's actually the brain from the head of the celestial that is Knowhere. Just based off of the visual they used in Guardians of the Galaxy, where he's just a floating brain at first.

I don't know too much about these parasites but can they harness the power of an infinity stone or even touch one? Because if this theory is true Star Lord is half of whatever he is. We believe because he was half celestial is the reason he can touch it without instantly disintegrating
But like, celestials are the ONLY beings we know to be wielders of greater power than infinity stones. This is something we KNOW though.The power stone is a planet-wiping tool of destruction, of which very few have been able to directly wield and live.
I like his monologue about not wanting to be alone. That hinted he was too "deviant" from normal celestial, thus rejected from his tribe. Another theory: As someone else stated before, Ego is the Anterior Cingulate Cortex of Nowhere's brain (the part that is speculated to be center of consciousness) that was discarded, or escaped for unknown reasons.

That does make sense, the only problem is Ego I believe has appeared in the comics and cannon as a celestial. So even though this sounds like a good explanation as to why he’s different, it still goes against the comics and cannon. He is a celestial.
Hes a celestial...like a celestial body. Like all planets. Where in the comics does it say he's a celestial? Can you cite one instance of it because I've never heard of it before the mcu.
In the comics he is not a celestial he is ego the living planet. He was a scientist whose conscience merged with a planet. Prove me wrong look it up dude you have the internet look it up and you will see you have no clue what your talking about.
If your character is portrayed by Kurt Russell, no one else will ever be like that character again. It’s Kurt. All you need to know. If we could turn charisma and confidence into energy, we would power the world off him on accident.
Before I even saw The Eternals, I always thought that Ego wasn't truly a celestial but he simply thought he was and no one really corrected him because of his powers. Also, the head floating in space that became Knowhere was from a being that had a body before only being a head. Ego was at the most, a floating brain and never came from a body. I think that Ego at first started as some sort of intelligent mold or fungi and then formed his shape into a brain.
Yeah but it's part of the mcu. The creator themselves could say something matter of factly with people going around saying that it means something else and was left for interpretation
His name is ego...hes lying about being one of the most powerful beings in the universe. He could barely get a girl pregnant and got beat by a bomb set off by a tree. Meanwhile real celestial travel through black holes and destroy planets just being born.

No. He’s based on the marvel elders, the first people in the marvel universe chronologically. Specifically he is based on Ord Zyons and they adapted the character by mixing him with Ego from the comics. He’s an amalgamation of ego and Ord Zyons. He’s not a deviant.. He is a celestial, this is stated in the movie quite clearly. Ord Zyon is “The Gardener”, hence why ego wanted to plant a plant or “tumor” on planets to siphon the energy from them.
I think it’s far more likely that they just used the term without thinking about possible future titles. The careful planning and worldbuilding that marked phase 1 and 2 has gone completely down the tubes in phase 4
This would make sense since the Nova Corps mentioned that Quill is half Terran and half of something ancient. They should know what a Celestial is because of Nowhere and pretty much it’s mentioned that Nowhere was mined for its organic resources and with that they should know what Celestial DNA would look like.

That's viable for the MCU hell it makes all the sense seeing as, Knowhere doesn't have a brain, and Egos started from the thought, and didn't have a form, and slowly came into his powers again which then created his planet body, then his Avatar, Comics is a whole other thing😅😅😅, in there he's just a sentient planet no real origins on how he came to be, aside some janky explanation about scientists merged a planet with a sun that went super nova, shit sounds weak af for
Ego was actually an experiment in the black galaxy, made to conquer other worlds. I’m sure since its the MCU rendition, his backstory is probably different and loosely based on the comics

I think Ego just calls himself a celestial because he's arrogant as all hell, kinda in the name: Ego. Also he's a living planet, another name for a planet is a celestial body so he's probably just referring to that. Which makes me think the mcu didn't get anything wrong or retcon anything; we, the fan base jumped to conclusions that he was part of The Celestial race based on information we had at the time and what Ego was sayimg. He's not one of THE CELESTIALS that created THE ETERNALS ; but he is A CELESTIAL BEING nonetheless because he's a god damn planet.
What about a deviant who has absorbed so many eternals already through the eternity to become something above, almost like a pure energy life form capable of god levels of power, that explains why takes the form from the life forms from planet he is currently feeding from (like when a deviant absorb another life form and evolve with it)

I found this right now, sounds like it's pretty accurate or would be likely, "Ego was actually a celestial embryo placed inside a planet. But there could have been some destructive event which the resident eternals of the planet weren't able to avert. This leads to the other celestials believing ego is dead. But.... Ego's damaged embryo survived and was prematurely awakened."

From his own definition of how he came to be he is not a celestial. He said he simply developed over time and learned how to manipulate the matter of the universe around himself. Celestial are all created generally the same way, not like that.
He's definitely a celestial in the comics, and is an extremely powerful one at that. No idea what they will do in the MCU though, since it's basically all noncannon
it would be plausible though that ego is a celestial like the protector from shang chi, who manage to find a way to escape from their dimension and was critically damage along the way and manage to survive with a clean memory slate because only few parts of him is left
Ego is somewhat a "celestial" but not on the same levels as the celestials in the eternals. He was created by the stranger ( not Dr. STRANGE). The stranger is a cosmic scientist who is so smart that the living tribunal offered him to be their fourth head but he declined. Another fun fact, Ego actually has a twin brother name Alter Ego, who is being kept in the collections of the collector. Who put him there? That would be their creator, the stranger he did it so it would test the bonds lf the brothers...
That would explain why Peter loses his power after ego perished. Usually the offspring of a celestial have power on there own without the parent as the source.
The celestials shouldn't really need to destroy a planet when born because they gain their shell bodies over the years when their energy needs containing! Otherwise take out the film cannon, Gaia, the primordial goddess wouldn't have let it happen anyway!
the 2 biggest problems with that movie was that they retconned Peter's jather from Jason of Spartax, and they made Ego the Living Planet a celestial...they really wrote themselves into a corner.
The Ego of Knowhere Knowhere - a location built inside the skull of a decapitated Celestial - used to be Ego's form, the place where his massive brain/core used to be housed. In short: Knowhere itself is an Easter egg, as it is actually part of Ego.
I’m of the opinion that ego is the brain of what used to be the knowhere celestial. We aren’t actually given an origin to ego, outside of him just being a literal brain god floating in space. It makes sense to me that after the knowhere celestial was decapitated, the remnants of its brain were cast into the universe from its battle where it eventually gained consciousness again and became ego.
This is a cool theory, but not likely. Ego, although did lie about a lot of things, did not lie about his origin and who he was. He was indeed a celestial, just one that decided to seek out meaning across the universe rather than creating life as well as more celestials. He wanted to spread his own life across the universe. But to do so he obviously needed another celestial, hence why he went across the universe making babies to try and find one that inherited the celestial gene. Peter obviously being the one who inherited that gene likely inherited it because of the eternals' and celestials' intervention on earth, which altered humanity's dna for us to be able to evolve as well as giving us mutants. (Which the reason why we havent seen any mutants in the mcu yet should be explained in multiverse of madness.) But, if Ego was just feeding off of the celestials' energy then he would not need another celestial, let alone try and wipe out all life in the universe, because no life means no celestials and if this theory were true then he would also have no energy to feed off of. He's just simply a celestial who thought his purpose was to control all life in the universe by becoming the only life in the universe. If this wasn't the truth then we would see him again in the future, but seeing as gotg 3 will be moving away from that, as well as thor introducing Gorr the god butcher, the future doesn't seem to have a place for Ego's return. As in his story has likely already been told.
I mean, I’m pretty sure these celestials don’t just hangout together, think about it, in eternals we get to see the massive size of an actual celestial, speaking of eternals what would happen if a deviant obsorbed a celestials powers, would he become something like ego
I think Ego is the brain from the dead celestial in Guardians of the Galaxy, Knowhere. From the comics…. Knowhere is the decapitated head of a Celestial, said to have been slain by God Emperor Doom to protect Battleworld, and it remained orbiting the planet as a reminder of Doom's power.
I dunno why they changed it from the comics. I'm not sure if there is a name for the type of thing that Ego is, but they call him the Living Planet, and he's definitely NOT a celestial, which is a very different kind of cosmic being, as shown in the later movies, and even in Guardians 1. It was silly to mess with the terminology like that.

But at least what they went with is better than a nebulous cloud named Galactus.
Remember Chris Pratts character from Gardians of the Galaxy? Ego is the father of that character
@@subzero7119Someone banged a planet.
Im not sure the comics Ego was remotely as powerful and could manipulate matter outdide of his planet form.
Nor form an Avatar to travel around freely and still had his powers and conciousness.
He isn’t feeding off the planet, he is the planet
Simpler explanation: Marvel didn’t think that far ahead.
Or a variation of that where he’s a Celestial that figured out how not to emerge from his shell and instead control it parasitically. Once he figured that out, he probably decided he didn’t want to be taking orders from other Celestials and should just be in charge.
Here's a thought: Ego was a celestial until the MCU chooses to retcon him as otherwise

Much like the literal Marvel comic universe does... Lol I'm not saying it isn't a sneaky trick but it also isn't a new trick. Apparently Peter parkers red and blue is retconed to be inspired by captain America since he's a WW2 hero... 🤷🏽♂️ They just make things fit their current direction.

And there you have it the full break down if you disagree to bad because this took me hours to collect all the information enjoy:) this is a bit better sorry for the other one
Its also conceivably possible that his form is what he chose to be born as. When it comes to Celestials, they can change their being to grow/shrink. It is also conceivable that, they being super powerful god-like entities, would be able to transform their shape into a humanoid, or make themselves into a planet. They are essentially gods, they can be anything and nearly do anything.
If we're talking about in the MCU, I guess he's considered a Celestial but He shouldn't be Because I know in the comics he's not considered a celestial
In the comics he is a celestial (as in a cosmic entity) it's just not a Celestial (a specific race of cosmic entities). Lower case refers to all cosmic entities in the comic and uppercase refers to that specific race

If true, then maybe Peter Quill will once again wield immense power when he runs into a celestial and possibly is able to feed on its power.
I feel like ego has nothing to do with celestials and he just called himself that having heard of the actual celestials. He was just trying to put a label on what he was without understanding what celestials really are.
Pretty good theory
Ego always reminded me of this idea I heard about somewhere.
Basically that given an infinite universe(or just enough time and space) matter molecules could somewhere potentially arrange themselves in such a way to spontaneously create a sentient, living being.
My theory is that he's actually the brain from the head of the celestial that is Knowhere. Just based off of the visual they used in Guardians of the Galaxy, where he's just a floating brain at first.
Knowhere was started as a brain matter mining operation, nice try though.

In the comics, Ego ***ISN’T*** a Celestial. And what’s more, he has a counterpart named (yep, you guessed it!) “Alter-Ego”!
That does make sense, the only problem is Ego I believe has appeared in the comics and cannon as a celestial. So even though this sounds like a good explanation as to why he’s different, it still goes against the comics and cannon. He is a celestial.
Mcu has gone against it multiple times
@@fantasyhq3553 that’s a good point but that’d be a big one. I figured if that was the case they would have eluded to it more. Who knows lol

In the comics he is not a celestial he is ego the living planet. He was a scientist whose conscience merged with a planet. Prove me wrong look it up dude you have the internet look it up and you will see you have no clue what your talking about.

Before I even saw The Eternals, I always thought that Ego wasn't truly a celestial but he simply thought he was and no one really corrected him because of his powers. Also, the head floating in space that became Knowhere was from a being that had a body before only being a head. Ego was at the most, a floating brain and never came from a body. I think that Ego at first started as some sort of intelligent mold or fungi and then formed his shape into a brain.

No. He’s based on the marvel elders, the first people in the marvel universe chronologically. Specifically he is based on Ord Zyons and they adapted the character by mixing him with Ego from the comics. He’s an amalgamation of ego and Ord Zyons. He’s not a deviant.. He is a celestial, this is stated in the movie quite clearly. Ord Zyon is “The Gardener”, hence why ego wanted to plant a plant or “tumor” on planets to siphon the energy from them.

I think Ego just calls himself a celestial because he's arrogant as all hell, kinda in the name: Ego. Also he's a living planet, another name for a planet is a celestial body so he's probably just referring to that. Which makes me think the mcu didn't get anything wrong or retcon anything; we, the fan base jumped to conclusions that he was part of The Celestial race based on information we had at the time and what Ego was sayimg. He's not one of THE CELESTIALS that created THE ETERNALS ; but he is A CELESTIAL BEING nonetheless because he's a god damn planet.
What about a deviant who has absorbed so many eternals already through the eternity to become something above, almost like a pure energy life form capable of god levels of power, that explains why takes the form from the life forms from planet he is currently feeding from (like when a deviant absorb another life form and evolve with it)

I found this right now, sounds like it's pretty accurate or would be likely, "Ego was actually a celestial embryo placed inside a planet. But there could have been some destructive event which the resident eternals of the planet weren't able to avert. This leads to the other celestials believing ego is dead. But.... Ego's damaged embryo survived and was prematurely awakened."

Here's a thought. The MCU isn't 616 no matter what they say, so it's an alternate universe and they can do whatever they want.
What if Ego is the result of Galactus’ early introduction? That due to his untimely devour, Galactus failed to fully consume the planet that would birth ego and allowed his brain to fly off while the planet itself was shattered.
I always thought ego was a celestial that's woken before he had the necessary energy to "fully awaken" or "emerge".

From his own definition of how he came to be he is not a celestial. He said he simply developed over time and learned how to manipulate the matter of the universe around himself. Celestial are all created generally the same way, not like that.
He's definitely a celestial in the comics, and is an extremely powerful one at that. No idea what they will do in the MCU though, since it's basically all noncannon

Can we appreciate that the title isn't "Did you know I guardians of the galaxy vol 2"
Perhaps he was the celestial from no where and after he seemingly died his brain left in tact and he only remembered his second life
it would be plausible though that ego is a celestial like the protector from shang chi, who manage to find a way to escape from their dimension and was critically damage along the way and manage to survive with a clean memory slate because only few parts of him is left
Ego could also be like he was in the comics of being an evil celestial who only wants power and thusly tried stealing it from the young celestials
Ego is somewhat a "celestial" but not on the same levels as the celestials in the eternals. He was created by the stranger ( not Dr. STRANGE). The stranger is a cosmic scientist who is so smart that the living tribunal offered him to be their fourth head but he declined. Another fun fact, Ego actually has a twin brother name Alter Ego, who is being kept in the collections of the collector. Who put him there? That would be their creator, the stranger he did it so it would test the bonds lf the brothers...
Or, perhaps, guardians was created before they even decided to do eternals or whatever
Thats actually a pretty good theory im impressed
I’m calling it. They’re going to make galactis a celestial
Agree..he's gna the Gardner Celestial..that went rouge..
That would explain why Peter loses his power after ego perished. Usually the offspring of a celestial have power on there own without the parent as the source.
Maybe he’s the alien from “The thing”🤷♂️🤔😅
The celestials shouldn't really need to destroy a planet when born because they gain their shell bodies over the years when their energy needs containing! Otherwise take out the film cannon, Gaia, the primordial goddess wouldn't have let it happen anyway!
the 2 biggest problems with that movie was that they retconned Peter's jather from Jason of Spartax, and they made Ego the Living Planet a celestial...they really wrote themselves into a corner.
Idk man I mean he just popped into existence one day

The Ego of Knowhere
Knowhere - a location built inside the skull of a decapitated Celestial - used to be Ego's form, the place where his massive brain/core used to be housed. In short: Knowhere itself is an Easter egg, as it is actually part of Ego.
I’m of the opinion that ego is the brain of what used to be the knowhere celestial. We aren’t actually given an origin to ego, outside of him just being a literal brain god floating in space. It makes sense to me that after the knowhere celestial was decapitated, the remnants of its brain were cast into the universe from its battle where it eventually gained consciousness again and became ego.
This is a cool theory, but not likely. Ego, although did lie about a lot of things, did not lie about his origin and who he was. He was indeed a celestial, just one that decided to seek out meaning across the universe rather than creating life as well as more celestials. He wanted to spread his own life across the universe. But to do so he obviously needed another celestial, hence why he went across the universe making babies to try and find one that inherited the celestial gene. Peter obviously being the one who inherited that gene likely inherited it because of the eternals' and celestials' intervention on earth, which altered humanity's dna for us to be able to evolve as well as giving us mutants. (Which the reason why we havent seen any mutants in the mcu yet should be explained in multiverse of madness.) But, if Ego was just feeding off of the celestials' energy then he would not need another celestial, let alone try and wipe out all life in the universe, because no life means no celestials and if this theory were true then he would also have no energy to feed off of. He's just simply a celestial who thought his purpose was to control all life in the universe by becoming the only life in the universe. If this wasn't the truth then we would see him again in the future, but seeing as gotg 3 will be moving away from that, as well as thor introducing Gorr the god butcher, the future doesn't seem to have a place for Ego's return. As in his story has likely already been told.
I mean, I’m pretty sure these celestials don’t just hangout together, think about it, in eternals we get to see the massive size of an actual celestial, speaking of eternals what would happen if a deviant obsorbed a celestials powers, would he become something like ego
I think Ego is the brain from the dead celestial in Guardians of the Galaxy, Knowhere.
From the comics….
Knowhere is the decapitated head of a Celestial, said to have been slain by God Emperor Doom to protect Battleworld, and it remained orbiting the planet as a reminder of Doom's power.
I dunno why they changed it from the comics. I'm not sure if there is a name for the type of thing that Ego is, but they call him the Living Planet, and he's definitely NOT a celestial, which is a very different kind of cosmic being, as shown in the later movies, and even in Guardians 1. It was silly to mess with the terminology like that.
