Furthermore, this system of making characters villains of the week with no staying power is turning me off to Marvel movies. At some point, these villains need to stick around, develop, evolve in response to their battles with the heroes. Stop killing characters off for no reason. You say, while acting as if killing people in comics has ever mattered. That's the thing. It has and it does. Yes, there are certain writers and events that have destroyed meaning of life and death, but there are a ton of great comics where death matters. Sandman, Starman, Transmetropolitan, Preacher, Walking Dead, Authority, Fables, The Death of Superman, etc. And when it takes place over years instead of hours, it has more impact. --- "Reading would be your friend." ~Dave Meltzer <cite>scarletspeed7 posted [p:880455046] in Wonder Wom...

I think it just had no stakes. I didn't know any of the places being swallowed up by Ego's um "Ego". If we had seen Avengers Tower being hammered by blue putty, or the Nova Corps homeworld, or something like that, it would have felt more meaningful to me.

I think it wasn't about being nonsensical for me (I think any space-based villain like this is going to feel nonsensical, but Guardians itself is based on that goofiness). I think it just had no stakes. I didn't know any of the places being swallowed up by Ego's um "Ego". If we had seen Avengers Tower being hammered by blue putty, or the Nova Corps homeworld, or something like that, it would have felt more meaningful to me. Instead, it was a handful of nameless planets and Missouri. All of these places could be full of serial rapists for all I know. But that's probably being very nitpicky, I know. What kinda weirded me out was that GotG2 was set a few weeks after GotG1, whereas most other Marvel movies are set roughly around their time of release. So the blue goo in Missouri happened before Ultron, Ant-Man, Civil War, and Doctor Strange, not to mention seasons 2-4 of Agents of SHIELD and all the Netflix series.

Unfortunately, his original incarnation sucks and doesn't have a lot of personality or depth beyond just committing crimes.
