And Ego himself (planet version) was a psychedelic tapestry of otherworldly pinks, yellows and oranges. The multiple jumps to hyperspace, with our heroes’ faces bulging and gurning like cartoon characters from an extra-zany episode of Looney Tunes, were fabulously realised. But Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 is right up there for brain-bamboozling CGI wizardry. Has there ever been a more engaging all-CGI character in the Marvel universe? The mind-boggling visualsĪfter the shifting inter-dimensional cityscapes of Doctor Strange, Marvel seemed to have reached new heights of far-out silver age comic book nuttiness. Need someone tiny to head into the depths of Ego the Living Planet’s core and blow up his giant “brain”? (After much wide-eyed, adorable procrastination) Groot will get the job done. In need of rescue from a gang of ’orrible space pirates? Groot’s your plant-based sentient extra-terrestrial. The huge-eyed, super-cute junior version of Vin Diesel’s heroic tree creature seemed destined to play more of a background role in Vol 2, but ended up being pretty essential.
