I liked the first one better too. I wasn't so much let down by the plotline, because Ego has planned universal conquest in the comics several times before, but I am a bit meh about the changes that were made to the character. Ego's not a Celestial. He never was and never will be. He's also not Peter Quill's father in the comics. But whatever, I guess we won't be getting that deep into Marvel's cosmic stuff so they can pick and choose whatever to fit their needs. If Stan Lee signed off on it then who am I to argue? The movie moved fast. Apparently, there was supposed to be a ton of junk that they left on the cutting room floor. The first film seemed to open up more possibilities. We are confirmed to get Adam Warlock in the future, so there's that.
