James Gunn's GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Morag Easter Egg Solved
Recently, James Gunn has brought to attention an easter egg many have overlooked while watching his recent Marvel-centric film. Even though the image is quite cryptic and ancient, I managed to strike a connection to the panel found in the image with the original Marvel mythology that will potentially solve a piece of the puzzle.
It's no news that the recent Marvel Cinematic Universe film, Guardians of the Galaxy, introduced us to a very large aspect of the universe's cosmic side, giving and ensuring to us the existence of the Infinity Stones, primarily known as the Infinity Gems in the comics. However, recently, director/cowriter of the film, James Gunn, has given us a glimpse of an easter egg that most of us failed to realize; it being a panel on Morag of the Infinity Stones.
With Marvel having a very vast and deep cosmic aspect to it's universe, narrowing down the options of who these four mysterious beings are would take some time or second guessing. However, I was able to draw connection with this and the cosmic mythology of the comics, coming to a number of conclusions, but very confident in one thus far.
Just in case you're not much a Marvel Comics reader, I'll break it down to you. In the comics, there are four embodiments, all are siblings. These embodiments are Infinity, Eternity, Oblivion, and Death. The four hold the responsiblity of maintain life, death, tranquility, and entropy in the universal cosmos. With that being said, the embodiment known as Infinity is definitely amongst the Morag panel.
I feel as though this isn't really questionable. The embodiment of Infinity can indeed be compatible with the likes of the Infinity Stones in this universe. Infinity deals with life, which also, most importantly includes time and space, which are also in the form of Infinity Stones. Infinity has also been known to be born at the beginning of the universe. For more on Infinity, read here.
However, even though there are four embodiments, I still have my doubts of who the other three beings are on the panel. Many of my other thoughts include the possibility of Kronos and The Champion (Tryco Slatterus), especially since the Marvel Cinematic Universe has a great way of differing itself from the comics in many instances.
