Or the other Celestials are kinda lazy, and can't be bothered.Near omniscience.
Unless Ego didn't care and/or Celestials are capable of hiding things from each other. Ego's name isn't ironic.

Then again, maybe I'm giving Ego too much credit. Maybe he didn't really know too much about the other Celestials, and actually planets made of blue Ego-goo would be even more nutritious to their embryonic Celestial occupants than planets covered in pesky humanoids.Or the other Celestials are kinda lazy, and can't be bothered.
Also possible. In fact, that's an even better result for them. No more babysitting for those worlds.Then again, maybe I'm giving Ego too much credit.

It was established in GoG2 that Ego was all alone. He had never met another Celestial.Then again, maybe I'm giving Ego too much credit. Maybe he didn't really know too much about the other Celestials,
I've seen some conjecture that Ego was lying about being a Celestial since he isn't a big armored cyborg thing. I wonder, though, if maybe he was one of the original Celestials like Arishem, only he somehow never progressed beyond developing a brain, and that's why he hasn't got the body armor. His method of planting a seed of himself inother planets is like a twisted version of the normal Celestial birthing method after all.It was established in GoG2 that Ego was all alone.

IIRC he wasn't a Celestial in the comics, but the MCU is doing some funky stuff with origins. Originally I think he was an alien scientist who evolved (?) somehow. It's been more than a while since I read the original stuff.Assuming Ego is a Celestial in the Eternals sense and him being one isn't just quietly ignored/retconned, he might be the equivalent of a premature birth. Whatever world he was being born from may have been lost/abandoned/destroyed.
But heck, it's possible that he's just something completely unrelated that didn't know what he was, heard tales about Celestials, and went "yeah, that sounds like me!"
My guess would be that Ego is what happens when a Celestial embryo doesn't get properly implanted inside a planet. Maybe he was lost in transit somehow, and the other Celestials assumed he'd died.I've seen some conjecture that Ego was lying about being a Celestial since he isn't a big armored cyborg thing.

Yep, or maybe he was an early experiment to see if Celestials could be created without needing to be implanted in a planet first.My guess would be that Ego is what happens when a Celestial embryo doesn't get properly implanted inside a planet.
