I'm sure all of the readers out there who watched Guardians of the Galaxy (at least three five times), noticed the diverse planet of Knowhere. This planet is home of The Collector and the wild bar (Boot of Jemiah) where Groot and Drax the Destroyer wrestled! Many things happened on this planet, but how was it designed for all of us to see? Check out the new VFX Breakdown below!

Guardians of the Galaxy is a 2014 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics superhero team of the same name, produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.

We need more Celestials in the MCU, bring on the Dreaming Celestial!

SuperheroFan96 - Ohhhhh, that would be awesome! Brutal space carnage, where Thanos pimp slaps some Celestials around!

Ezio - Starhawk would be amazing! Hopefully he makes into Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and looks like this or similar to it at least.

SuperheroFan96 - Oh definitely, if anything him taking on one these cosmic entities AND defeating them would show that he's a legitimate threat. If Marvel Studios wants to establish him as the end boss of all three phases, they need to have him take one (or several) of those guys down.

PS: Seeing Galactus in the panel makes me a sad panda =(

@DeusExSponge
I think the intention is to prove Thanos is a boss in each main phase 3 film;

Either Adam Warlock or Vision have the Soul Gem

Doctor Strange - Introduce Time Gem

Thor 3 - Gets the Infinity Gauntlet and the Space Gem (Cosmic Cube)

Guardians Of The Galaxy 2 - Kills the Collector, gets the Reality Gem (Aether)

Avengers Infinity War - Destroys Xandar to get the Power Gem (Orb), this leads the GOTG to Earth. Thanos defeats them and acquires remaining Soul gem and Mind Gem (Loki Sceptre) from Earth

Scarilian - That would be a nice way to establish him as a threat. Maybe a few more deaths to show that he means business.

All your articles have been front-page-worthy today @NightWatcher. Yet Nate still doesn't allow them.

I'm calling BS on all this.

It still amazes me that Marvel brought the Celestials into the MCU. It's amazing, it's wonderful and I love it.

The visual aspect is also pretty amazing too BUT... It's just too human like.

A Celestial is not a giant human in armor. They don't have bones that we know of. They don't have cervical vertebrae, and probably don't have eye sockets either. In fact as far as I know, none of them even have necks.
They don't have jaws or teeth. They don't eat. Why would these omnipotent space gods need teeth? It's true that there are biological components to it, but the nature of a Celestial is that the whole is all alive and in perfect harmony. It's completely different from being a cyborg, because both the wetware and the hardware are alive.

That time that Thor busted into the braincase of one of these things was very telling. There was a of weird stuff in there, but no bone material.

Anyway so I can like a thing and still criticize it. But I just thought it looked way too much like a human skull, which is a misrepresentation because these creatures are anything but human.
