Ego's plan would have worked if he wasn't such a moron and knew when to keep quiet


Peter was completely on board with Ego's plan until Ego told him that he gave him mom cancer. Peter had no idea that Ego had done that. All that time he just assumed his mom got cancer naturally the same way other people did. All Ego had to do was keep his mouth shut and let Peter continue assuming his mom got cancer naturally. If Ego had just kept quiet about what he did to Meredith then Peter would have gone along with his plan and it would have succeeded.

Ego was so powerful, he didn't HAVE to be smart!

Nobody with Godlike power does.

Ego wasn't that powerful that he didn't need Peter. He needed Peter for his plan. And telling Peter the truth about Meredith's cancer did nothing to help him with his plan.
