You know, something that I would have really loved to see in Vol. 2 during the fight with Ego – we see Peter’s friends getting fried by whatever Ego had threatened to crush or kill them with, but… what I would have loved to see was that statue of
Meredith crumbling.
That statute
really bothered me a whole damn lot, because after everything we have seen and heard of Ego, after his “collection room” where he shows Peter all the women he has impregnated, it feels like that statue was less of a memorial for a beloved person and more of a trophy for Ego.It crumbling to dust, perhaps a smile on the statue’s lips as it does, would have been a signal to me that just like the rest of Peter’s family, Meredith was “freed” of that the moment Peter took control of the celestial powers.
God I would have *loved* that. That would’ve been perfect.
….This reminded me of one of my biggest hopes for Infinity War, actually, which is that Peter gets to return to his childhood home and see his grandparents and maybe get some photographs of Meredith off them. That way (especially now that the Walkman’s gone) he’ll at least get back an image of her that was actually *her*.
