James Gunn says there is a "huge" easter egg in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie that still to this day has gone unnoticed. As the worlds leading Guardians of the Galaxy fanatic it is only natural that I solve it.
Knowhere as it is shown in the movie:
As you can see this being is based in organics. It is mostly bone and has a prominant jaw and spine. Also notice the size. Nothing about this says Celestial to me. They even have a traditional Celestial in the movie and he is 100% comic accurate and not nearly as large as Knowhere:
So whats the deal? I'll tell you... Knowhere in the movie
ISN'T THE HEAD OF A CELESTIAL, BUT THE SEVERED HEAD OF THE MCU VERSION OF GALACTUS!!!
Notice the technology around the eye and the way the technology wraps around the head and jaw. Hell, just the fact that this thing has eyes and a mouth should tell you it isn't a Celestial. Check out this image of Galactus face for reference and compare the technology in the eye socket:
I believe it may even be a reference to the Galactus Engine from DnA's Thanos Imperative, where Galactus of the Cancerverse was killed and turned in to a cosmic weapon of mass destruction (note the spine sticking out the back and overall planet sized skull design):
This could be a genius way of explaining why the MCU doesn't have a Galactus without having the rights to the character, similarly to how Tim Miller snuck a destroyed helicarier in to Deadpool:
Have I solved the missing easter egg? This has been bugging me since I saw the movie but never felt inclined to actually explain the theory.
Let me know how wrong you think I am below.
Thank you for your time.
