User blog:Hugues de Payens/Guardians of the Galaxy Easter Egg

According to James Gunn, there is a big easter egg which fans have not been able to find in Guardians of the Galaxy. He said he would reveal it sometime around the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

I figured I would put down some of my ideas of what it could be.

One of the fan theories is that it was a reference to Ego, Peter's father. And as of right now my only theories are connected to that.

1. Power Stone/Orb- the orb looks like a planet and contains the Power Stone, which is purple. Ego is a purple planet.

2. The Purple Planet- While the Collector is telling the Guardians about the Infinity Stones, he plays footage of a Celestial using the Power Stone on the planet. The life on the planet is whiped out and turns purple. So, maybe that was a planet that became Ego, if the Stranger gave him life.

3. The Collector's Museum- From the little I know about the comics, Ego can take a spore-like form. One of the cases in the Collector's cases has something glowing purple with what looks like grass in it, but the case is foggy. So, I think it could be Ego in spore form.

Another case of interest is one hanging from the roof that has tenticles in it. Ego, in both planet and spore form can grow tenticles.

Going along with Ego being in the Collector's Museum, maybe Ego was captured by the Collector, but when the Power Stone blew up the museum Ego escaped. That might explain why Ego becomes a problem after the events of the first movie and why Ego didn't go looking for Peter all those years.

These are just the theories I have now. I might update this if I have anymore.
