@firestormfate1919: The GoTG had Mantis too put Ego to sleep, that's the only reason they won. How are the LOT in a better postion? Ego isn't Incapacitated and controls the entire planet.
The LOT are missing the only two reasons the GoTG stood a chance.
- Peter's Celestial powers
- Mantis's sleeping trick
Ego's control of the entire planet was incredibly weak, he was only ever shown controlling very small specific areas.
I also don't think Mantis' role was that huge. Most of the time Ego was asleep they were dealing with the Soveriegn anyway, who aren't a factor here, and once he woke up it's not like they were suddenly screwed. Groot didn't even start on the core till near the end of that battle. This is basically just post-Sovereign in the movie, and that's still very winnable for the Legends.
Peter's Celestial Powers played a more diract role in holding off Ego, but I don't think that's anything the Legends couldn't replicate. Citizen Steel's a multi-thousand tonner, with absolutely insane levels of durability, meaning Ego literally can't put him down without special means (ie: suffocation, drowning, temperatures). He can fill in for Peter on the physical side, and Ego's gonna be busy throwing everything he's got at one of the best tanks out there. Then Atom or Firestorm (depending on who's destroying the core) will also be there to help. They're both incredibly hax, and can blast away at the tendrils or Ego's human form. Mick's gun has large damage output, he can certainly harm Ego with the blasts. Rip, Sara, and Vixen can deal with the tendrils. Mainly Mick, Jax/Ray, and Nate are gonna be filling in for Peter in this scenario, with Vixen, Sara, and Rip playing a much lesser role.
The other thing is, this is all gonna be over much, much faster than it was for the Guardians. They needed Groot, who had adolescant intelligence, to navigate a complex maze in order to win. This took maybe 8-10 minutes. That's how long Celestial Peter held off Ego.
The Legends won't need remotely this long. Atom can shrink the core from existence with his Dwarf Ray in less than a second, based on the Nth Meteorite feat. The Legends wouldn't even need to engage Ego, his core just pops from existence, and the planet destabalizes. If Firestorm transmutes the core, it takes maybe 10 seconds based on the Dominator Bomb feat. Nate, Ray, and Mick will have absolutely no issue holding Ego off for ten seconds before Ego realizes his brain is now jellybeans. If Firestorm just decides to go nuclear to destroy the core, likely sacrificing himself (the Legends need to leave the premises, and they'll split into unconsious human form at the center of a destabalizing planet), it'll take like a second tops. They probably don't even go down in the first place. Jax just flies right down, lands on the core, and blows it to smithereens. They arrived at the core minutes before Ego greeted them. All three of thee win scenarios are really not difficult, and Mantis' and Peter's powers are not necessary.
