The others absorbed the power from the Infinity stone, or I guess more accurately, diluted the power so that Peter - Starlord COULD hold on to it.

But I was thinking, much like that which doesn't kill you , makes you stronger sort of thing... like Bruce Banner and the gammer-rays ? ( And as a side note, didn't Bruce only survive the gamma burst because HIS dad experimented on him as a new born / toddler ? I'm fuzzy on that, but from the line even in The Avengers " that much gamma radiation 'should have ' killed you ". Of course, we know it didn't, but - why ? )

So here's the thing. Starlord is a knock off the old block. But just because dear old dad snuffed it ( or we're assuming he did ) , his genetic material is still in Starlord, right ? Now, what really bugged me is how all those little seeds from Daddy Ego had their own genetic material, needing the different planets to get energy from or what ever... why would THEY die off because Ego died ? Couldn't they carry on by themselves ?

And what the frak was allowing them to grow and engulf all those planets, in real time, despite being light years away ? I can understand how they all might have synced up and started to grow in unison, but how is it remotely possible that they all snuffed it once ?

I thought God was everywhere, all at once. Doesn't seem light-years bright-smears would have any effect.

So, you're saying Ego was God ?

If so, what does God need with a starship ?

Oh, wait.. wrong movie.

If so, why didn't God see the nuke coming ?






Puny God.

IIRC they had to hide it from God for a moment, or distract him, so his omniscience was limited. With a name like Ego, distraction seems an achievable goal, even with the power/capability to be omniscient.

Remember Shah-Karee, the place of the Supreme Being? Remember it was named after Sean Connery, who was expected to fill the guest starring role? When Sean had to withdraw due to obligations on another film, how did Lawrence Luckinbill get enough juice to take on that role? After he had only been in lightweight rom-coms prior to that?
Do you recall the answer?

I didn't know any of that lol, so I surely didn't know the answer to the question.

My old man was huge into Sci-Fi, but it was more the books and tv shows like War of the Worlds, TNG and the 80's update to the Twilight Zone I remember watching with him. I don't think he was a huge fan of most Sci-Fi movies back around that era. He was never a Trekkie, but he liked it. He hated Star Wars, so my love of that was not due to him.

I remember that Star Trek 4 was a video he rented when we were kids though and we loved it. It was my first taste of Star Trek and really the only thing I loved about that universe. What a great flick. I dont' know why they didn't try to emulate the action and feel and light hearted comedy of that movie in the rest of the Trek universe all that often.

I don't even really care for TNG all that much, but I do like some of their more goofy 1 off episodes.

Strangely enough, the only TV show of Trek that I actually really liked was Deep Space 9.

Deep Space 9. TO BOLDLY STAY HOME!!!
