Re: After much deliberation and hard thinking I have a reply! :D
Sorry to interject and threadjack (again), but speaking as a person well versed in Marvel cosmic stuff, I found that depiction of Ego absolutely hilarious. I suspect Parker was aiming specifically for a piss take on the usually Verrah Verrah Serious nature of most old school Marvel cosmic stuff, and for me, it worked precisely because it was so deliberately subversive AND at the same time answered a long-standing question, that is: "does Ego have a sex drive?" The slang and speech patterns that Ego was using didn't parse to me as specifically being that of an American PoC; it was more agnostic jive-talk (I can't believe that I just typed "agnostic jive-talk"; wow, only on scans_daily!). For example, that kind of speech pattern is pretty endemic in certain age brackets out here on the West Coast no matter what your race or ethnicity of origin. So that's one case where I'll let Parker slide.
