I don't know why some of you are going on about being right and winning. Rob and Impediment were in on this gag because I PMed them. Silent and Rao PMed me and figured I changed the post. I highly doubt anybody thought Quan made the post, but simply played along just for the lulz.
It is the very definition of a no limits fallacy. Assuming she can do something she never has onscreen, because, in your opinion, she can do "anything" is literally a prime example.
No, I don't overrate him at all. Mantis taking him out is a testament to her level of power. Just because she doesn't have a lot of feats does not make her weak, considering at no other point in the film did she fail in the use of her powers.
So, they know to target the brain now as well? Even though it's not common knowledge, and the Guardians only knew to target it, and where to go to target it, because Mantis told them?
Yes, I call you out, because it flip flops from thread to thread, depending on how it suits you. When it's RF against the Guardians, it's in Central City. Here, they are right by Ego's brain. But Spiderman vs a Sentinel, even though a big part of his effectiveness revolves around his webswinging, wall climbing etc.? Featureless plane lol. And those are just a few examples out of many.

It is not my opinion that Jean can do anything she can think of; the movie directly states it and it is backed up in the movie by her literally doing everything she thought up...
And you do overrate Ego, unless you really think Mantis has greater than Celestial level powers (afterall she shut him down...lol).
As pertains her other uses of her power, she affected Drax and Starlord...big wow.
As for the team targeting the brain, obviously they'd have to fight the Avatar 1st...
Assumming they defeat the Avatar, it would make sense to attack the throbbing, giant, brain next...wouldnt it?
As for the fight location, I placed the fight in a place where both sides have an opportunity to win...
The fight locations in other threads I have made dont matter as pertains to this thread...
As to the vs..... I would side with the mutant duo, if only because one can distract Ego while the other simply demolecularises the brain, along with everything else in the chamber. Given what Jean did while she was flaying Logan repeatedly, I don't think Ego would like that maelstrom going on inside his brain case, and I imagine Apoc's telepathy, while unhindered would be at least as effective as that of Mantis, considering she is relatively new and naive to her empathic power.
Then again, this is only based on the supposition that mantis really isn't just that insanely innately powerful. Despite her naivete, there isn't really any way to say she isn't based on what we did see... We only have intuition to work on there.
They'd only have to destroy the Avatar once to clear the way to the Brain and the Avatar doesnt instantly come back (Ego must build another one)...
How do they destroy Ego's Brain?
With brute force power; remember, Rockets bomb destroyed Ego's brain, so I dont undertstand why you think destroying Ego's Brain is beyond these two...
Also, Starlord never defeated Ego; he simply kept him busy while Groot got the bomb close to Ego's Brain...
No. Although the Avatar is dead the planet still has his defenses. They won't get to the brain.
Starlord was able to hold Ego because he had the same powers of him (He could control the planet and use it against him). Phoenix and Apocalypse can't control a planet. They get killed.
That was a nuclear bomb, or maybe even more powerful. I don't see Phoenix nor Apo replicating such an explosion.
You say it like if sleeping Ego is the solution. Which isn't.
Ego is above both Apo and Phoenix, they don't have enough power to defeat him.
