Thing about Peter's reaction in this scene -- a lot of people have said that Peter's screw-up in _Infinity War_ (bashing Thanos when they almost had him) was a reversal of his character growth, but this scene is proof it wasn't. It's part of a pattern where the behaviour that helps Peter to win in one movie is his downfall in the next. In _Guardians_ Peter beats Ronan by being a playful goofball who easily bonds with strangers who seem to like him (the Guardians); in _Guardians 2_ he nearly falls into Ego's trap by being a playful goofball who easily bonds with a stranger who seems to like him (Ego). In _Guardians 2_ he beats Ego by whacking him with everything he's got the moment he learns Ego killed a woman he loved; in _Infinity War..._
Most of those that watched Guardians of The Galaxy: Vol 2 before Avengers: Infinity War knew that as soon as Quill learned Gamora was dead he was going to lose it. Most of the people I've talked to that were angry at Quill in Infinity War were people that had skipped watching Guardians of The Galaxy: Vol 2 and didn't understand why his reaction to losing someone he loves overrides all reason.
anybody would react emotional if your g girlfriends dad said I killed my daughter today. Who acts rationally in that situation? Even the vision would flip out despite not being very emotional
@@daraghokane4236 The Vision would absolutely fuck up your ass if you killed the Scarlet Witch. And that's not discounting what the Scarlet Witch would do if you killed the Vision. She'd trap you in a hex where no matter how brutally you were hurt, you couldn't die. You had to experience endless pain.
The biggest example of Ego’s selfishness is that one line. “It broke my heart to have to put that tumor in her brain”. The fact that Meredith suffered because of it doesn’t factor into Ego’s recollection of her death AT ALL. He only thinks about how HE was hurt by her death.
I kinda saw that mention of the tumor as a test. He didn't need to tell Peter about that and he would have won. I think he did it because he wanted to see if he actually turned Peter to him completely. That was the point that he needed to choose between a partner and a battery.
It's worth mentioning that one of the reasons he works so well as a bad guy is the thematic tie-in. Ego, big E, is the physical antagonist, while ego, little e, is the existential. The guardians are learning to get over their own issues long enough to make a family with each other. That's what makes it so elegant. The text and the subtext.
Nice one. Ego had barely registered on my radar out of all the villain options but now i want to revisit the movie. Really enjoying the One Villainous Scene series and the different youtubers takes on their pick.
"I must expand myself across the entire universe to make everything mine! Wtf, that is so comic-booky craziness!" Is it, though? Looking at all imperialism and colonization throughout History, it seems pretty realistic to me. It's not even a subtle analogy. Ego is the epitome of all that.
...that he COULDN'T care less about... . Could care less...doesn't make any sense. If you could care less, then why don't you? Must actually be important if you could still care less than you already do. . If you couldn't care less, it means you're at rock bottom. Zero fucks are given. People sound like Biff Tannen when they say that kind of crap.
But the whole point of the gaurdians is showing that you choose your family and blood doesn't owe blood anything. It's about the healthy bonds formed. Not undying loyalty.
@@matd2892 One does not chose family one is born to family. Family owes their children everything. Proper understanding of kinship will give one healthy bonds. And I dont believe the lies of Holywood propogandists. The only family one choses is ones spouce, and once that choice is made undying loyalty to ones most beloved is called for.
Ego is the closest thing we will get to an accurate portrayal of the Greek god Chronos
I didn't know Ego was the god of time
@Quinton Redlien Kronos is the Titan, Chronos is the god of time. They get confused a lot.
@@jackbaxter2223 I think they meant Cronus rather than Chronos

I love how passionate you are about this, earned a sub from me
Congratulations I’m your 1000 subscriber
Ego's Fatal Flaw is that he has big Ego
Possibly my favorite MCU moment in any film
i hope starlord gets his power back in the future
He doesn't need it nor would he even want any correction to Ego
Great video, man!
Oh hi... yea like last time nothing to say

...that he COULDN'T care less about...

Could care less...doesn't make any sense. If you could care less, then why don't you? Must actually be important if you could still care less than you already do.

"Like I could care less
That means you do care
At least a little"

Congrats
Marvel definitely got better at making baddies as time went on 😊
Video starts at 3:19 It's unbelievable.
One must always be loyal to family, and family must always be loyal to you. Family is bound by blood and love life without these is just awful.
But the whole point of the gaurdians is showing that you choose your family and blood doesn't owe blood anything. It's about the healthy bonds formed. Not undying loyalty.

@@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714 that’s ignoring that some parents really don’t deserve to be considered family
@@SorowFame Family being bad, does not compute. When faced with evil, eradicate.

Good video, but you may want to slow down your speech. It's exhausting to listen to, especially in the first few minutes
also taking 3 minutes to get to the point in a 10 minute video
I disagree, I enjoy the quick pace.
@@Grimtheorist Yeah, I just thought he was excited bout the topic.
