Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol 2: Does Peter Quill still have his celestial powers, and if not, why?

-

 Ego certainly claimed that the events at the end of the movie would mean that Peter was primarily human at the end of the movie. Every on-screen act supports this - Peter is unable to do any of his Ego-like acts until he reaches Ego (the planet) and is taught how to use the abilities.

During the lessons, he is told to reach out to the core of the planet, which is also the core of Ego's being. During the climax, the core of the planet is what Groot destroys.

When this happens and Ego feels the effects, he certainly claims that it will prevent Peter from using his abilities, and indicates that it will make him "just like everyone else". There is on-screen evidence to support this, as well, as we see the visual evidence of Peter's abilities fade.

That said, Peter still has all the genetics that permitted him to use those abilities. He still has the capability, and we have only Ego's word that there are no other compatible power sources.

Ego has every reason to lie in this case, as it is his last bid to save his own life and advance his plan. We have no evidence that his words were a lie, but it is not impossible that he was lying or mistaken.

For this reason, while it is likely that Peter is now just a fairly 'normal' human, that is not certain.

Hopefully we get a proper answer when GOTG 3 comes out.

Why can't Tony Stark just get out of the Iron Man suit and then let his AI snap the fingers for him?

  A fter the climax scene of AVENGERS : ENDGAME , people started discussing and fantasizing of different ways in which Tony Stark didn't had to die . And here is one such question : Why can't Tony Stark just get out of the Iron Man suit and then let his AI snap the fingers for him? In answer to this There are various reasons why Tony Stark did not use his suit remotely to perform the snap. There is no evidence that the Bleeding Edge nanotech suit is capable of being operated remotely. It seems like it has to be built around a user to function so even assuming that the Infinity Gauntlet can be used remotely the suit itself does not seem to have that function. I have a feeling after Ultron that Tony didn’t like the idea of suits that could operate without people in them. Speaking of using the Infinity Gauntlet remotely, what we see in the movies seems to suggest that the Gauntlet needs the wearer to be in physical contact with the stones to use them. That is why when they users p...

(Spoilers for Loki) How does the Time Variance Authority have multiple sets of Infinity Stones?

  Because as evidenced by the Time Authority variants are appearing all the time. We saw the Time Variance Authority processing and sentencing Variants who could destroy the Sacred Timeline and send the universe into a multiverse war again. If a Loki Variant could steal one Tesseract (one infinity stone) then why couldn't other variant beings do the same thing? Evidently other variant beings did try to steal or use an infinity stone and they were captured and their infinity stone was probably taken from them. Even though Loki Variant took the Tesseract, it still exists in the time when Steve Rogers returned the stones. The copy of the Tesseract like other infinity stones I’m sure came to the Time Variance in similar fashion. So it would seem the Time Variance keeps such trinkets as paperweights. I hope that clears up any confusion!

If someone other than Tony Stark had to sacrifice their life with the "snap" which MCU character would you have chosen and why?

  Captain America. Because… His character’s arc had been well established and touched upon and both he and Tony had basically the same level of development. Tony’s suit helped him withstand the stones but Cap doesn’t have that. What he  does  have though is the super soldier serum, so the directors could get away with saying that that is how he would’ve been able to withstand the stones for a few seconds. He, Tony, and Thor were the original big three. We can’t choose Tony this time so that leaves Cap and Thor. Cap (like I said) has had a full arc throughout the movies and his purpose is becoming more of just a soldier figure who’s good at leadership. Thor on the other hand doesn’t know what he wants anymore since he’s given up being king, etc. Thor’s story isn’t finished whereas Cap doesn’t really have anywhere to go at this point (which is further evidenced by the directors making him old at the end of Endgame). Chris Evans (Cap) has been wanting to move on to other pro...
