2. The Nova Corps
Establishing the Nova Corps as an intergalactic police force of sorts worked for Guardians of the Galaxy, but it didn’t really do their comic book counterparts justice. James Gunn has made his reasoning for not including THE Nova in the movie clear, and it makes sense.
To not even tease the introduction of that character or any of the other heroes powered by the Nova Force feels like a missed opportunity. Glenn Close’s Nova Prime didn’t really offer a lot here either, and ended up feeling somewhat wasted as a result. Based on the fact that Xandar was saved, it’s hard to say how much the Nova Corps will end up factoring into the Marvel Cosmic Universe moving forwards.
Thanos probably still wants that Infinity Stone though…
