The movie was worse than the first movie.
Mantis was the butt of the jokes and mistreated.
Too much of Groot
Movie version of Ego. Sorry Hollywood and Marvel Movies but thats not how Ego works.
How does Ego work?... we were confused about that on another thread.
Why did he need Quill and why did he kill his mother?
Ego needed Quill because he said he'd heard that a "mortal" had been able to hold an Infinity Stone. No mortal would have been able to do that and live. He needed Quill to take charge of the universe. To make all worlds like him. That was the reason he planted all those "copies" of himself all over the galaxy and to cover his tracks, killed the mothers of all his progeny. He went throughout the galaxy "reclaiming" his children attempting to do the same thing he was going to do with Quill. That's what all the skeletons were, the remains of all his children who died while he was trying to "amp" up his strength with theirs. They couldn't handle the "power up". But when he heard about Quill, he knew he had the solution to his problems in terms of being able to take control. Meredith was killed to cover up the fact that Peter was special.
shareFrom what I remember of the movie all you said is correct except for "and to cover his tracks, killed the mothers of all his progeny". I think that Ego said that he gave Quill's mom cancer, because otherwise he would be coming back to her instead of doing what he thought was his calling. I don't recall anything about covering tracks and killing the mothers of his children. I might remember incorrectly though...
shareNo, you remember correctly. He killed Quill's mom because if he saw her again, he would stay with her. There is no indication he killed the mothers of his other children.
