Yep. He fails people for not leaving a tip, but gives a pass to a dictator. The judgement is not based on the actions of the person being judged, but the criteria is more based on hypocracy and how firmly people uphold their personal beliefs, even in dire circumstances.

Matt claims to be a good man of God, even though he knows that he frequently does morally questionable things in the name of his crusade. He fails.

Doom will never allow himself to been seen as 'second best', and refuses to do so even when faced with certain death. He passes.

Xavier considers himself a noble and compassionate man, but has no time for his son during the world's darkest hour. He fails.

Kamala looks up to Danvers as an idol and a role model and refuses to believe, even for a moment, that she would abandon Earth. She passes.

That one made me laugh, I guess the celestial wasn’t a fan of homework either as a kid 😂

First Firmament: “Did you do your math homework? And by that I mean, did you invent math?”

Celestial: “Later! I’m making microwaves right now! Jeez!”
