How someone judges themselves is part of the judgement, but there's more to it than that.
(Immortal X-Men#6)
The context here is that Destiny told everyone that if they attack a specific part of the Celestial, they could kill him without fucking over anyone else, that was a lie, killing him would cause an explosion that would kill the heroes involved, Destiny is justifying her actions as "I'm doing it for my own people", basically approving of her own actions, but the Celestial dismissed her reasonings and called out her hypocrisies.
To be fair, it is debatable if Cap would judge himself as worthy lol.
I keep hearing about this reward, and I'm wondering whether or not I should find out, 'cause it sounds like it'd be something stupid lol.Also, it never gave any kind of reward to any other person it judged. It just showed up for a minute, judged a person, and then left them.
Just the fact that there's a reward is stupid enough too...
But it's debatable if Spidey should even pass by the Celestial's standards (What I saw of how he judges people makes me think he shouldn't have passed), much less be rewarded for it, his most recent actions would put him in a negative light.
As much as fans want Spidey to be rewarded for being a great person, he has to be one to be rewarded for it anyways, and **** man, Wells' run happening while the Celestial is judging people means he's doing some really stupid decisions that could arguably make him not pass.
He definitely should not get a reward, no one else did, but he does? Why does he get special treatment when he's doing stupid **** lately?
Are you implying that being old means one is not passing the Celestial's judgement? .
There were also a few Eternals who tried to kill him, Phastos passed while Makkari failed.Hell, Kro and the Deviants passed the Progenitor's test.
When questioned about it, he says that Makkari failed 'cause even after realizing that making the Celestial was a bad idea, she says that she would try again, that she didn't learn from her mistakes, while Phastos passed because he did learn and decided to help the X-Men.
So if anything the Celestial is surprisingly impartial when judging people.
Honestly, just the fact that Cap has failed already shows how screwy the whole thing is, issues later showing that fucking Doom passed also helps with that, the only thing Spidey adds to this are really weird inconsistencies.(You can make the argument that Peter passing at this point shows how scewy it is, but the entire way this issue handled the Progenitor doesn't match up at all with how Judgment Day handles everything. Makes me think the creative told was told something and misinterpreted what was going on.)
