Richard almost made in infinity war. So it seems that rumor of Nova getting a movie is most likely true

I like the idea that Nova just pretty much hates all the earth heroes

No, they didn't. People just assumed.

What a bitch.

Funnily enough even if you introduced him in endgame he would’ve actually had stakes in the plot since thanos wiped out the nova corps

It could have been both, I'd have been fine with that. I always operated under the assumption that they were roughly equal in power. Though I was hoping the wizards would open portals over the battlefield and reopen them over the ship, blowing itself to fucking hell.

He actually celebrated when the book was cancelled, and attributed himself its failure for boycotting it.
You're right , giving him credit for that shit is too presumptuous, but he's still a retard with a platform coasting on its very convenient name and pageviews. I've had regular people linking me to it and I've had to tell them the kind of shithead he is so they stop doing it.

I don't know how I would have felt about that. One on hand, him finally make his debut in the MCU and potentially throw down with Thanos would have been great to see, but it comes at the cost of fucking with his origin a great deal.

No he doesn't he only thinks Mcgloin is stupid, also:

>James Gunn: Luis Ordaz asks, is Nova, and then in parenthesis Richard Rider making sure that's the Nova that he's talking about, contemplated for Marvel's Cosmic Universe? Yes, definitely. Y'know Nova comes up occasionally as someone we might use. One of the things I'm doing with creating Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 will take place after the next two Avengers movies and it will help to set up the next 10-20 years of Marvel movies. It's going to really expand the Cosmic universe. We are going to be setting up new characters. It will be the last movie of this version of Guardians of the galaxy.

McGloin used to have a forum where Cosmic fans who used to bee into Annihilation and the DnA era shit could go and have conversations about the comics, Abnett even posted there from time to time.

After Loeb went and brought in Sam and Bendis shat on Guardians he lost it and eventually drew away the other Nova fans because they didn't hate Sam as much as he did and because some of them enjoyed his comics and liked Nova vol. 7. Those fans eventually made their own message board and they eventually moved to facebook group (who BTW don't like you referring to Sam as NINO and will warn you for it that's how bad they hate McGloin).

McGloin, some guy called TimeLord and some other guy whose name I don't remember are the trifecta of hardcore Dick Rider autism.

>NINO
I had blocked this out of my mind, I forgot how much I hated seeing this tossed around.
And I've seen that Timelord dude on Twitter before, he's one of these lurking around to tell everyone how much Rich is getting shat on just by not using him.

Well he was a teen hero when being a teen hero wasn't so glamorous and the adult heroes pretty much treated you like shit. He wanted to be an Avenger when he was a teen but that really felt wayside sometime when he was in New Warriors and later after Annihilation especially seeing how no one gave a shit about how close they came to dying and afterwards still didn't give a shit. He did however joined the Secret Avengers and only because Steve asked and even then it was to be a reserve (didn't last mostly because DnA killed him in Thanos Imperative and Brubaker was upset about it).

Don't joke about that because the way things are going with Cates' Guardians it looks like Peter and Gamora are going to lock lips. Cates is predictable with his shitty cheap drama like that.

I thought NINO was just a clever way to call Sam Kid Nova and making reference of him being Latino (like him being a niño) but I gave them waaaaay to much fucking credit and braincells.

Attached: Novaface.jpg (375x403, 132K)

He used in the -INO thing to describe every cosmic character at the time.

M&M already mentioned liking Rich, ditto for Nicole Perlman so I'm not surprised. Heck most of the Marvel Studios people were reading his comics and DnA Guardians even before Thanos Imperative ended and way before Bendis took over and waaaaay before Loeb made Sam.

They probably just going to wait until they give him a proper introduction with a movie.

>BTW, more on topic, friendly reminder they never showed how Thanos in the main timeline obtained the Power Stone. Something went down on Xandar and they promised they left it for Endgame, but it wasn't there. We don't know what happened.
Bingo and we most likely going to get that dealt with in a Nova movie.

Just out of curiosity since I'm not well versed with Nova, is he more powerful than Carol?

I think so, but I'm also biased.

They've never been face to face, but cosmic-tier characters are often written at similar power levels, I'm a fan of both so I can't fully decide. However yes, generally Richard Rider would be more powerful than her, although Carol was nerfed not too long ago and only until now she's exploring Binary mode again.
Richard can reach Herald-tier levels, so can Carol in Binary mode. Richard would beat her with gravimetric portals overall better skills, she might beat him if she absorbs enough energy and lets go.

tl;dr, it depends on the writer, but yes.

Attached: richard-rider_nova1.jpg (1080x1350, 104K)

Right now? I am not sure but Rich on his most powerful? Yes, he probably could, he was freaking powerful to the point he could easily take out Asgardians (he owned Val in Secret Avengers with ease) and he could go toe to toe with other cosmic powerhouses.

>tl;dr, it depends on the writer, but yes.
Also this especially since Rich had problems fighting Norrin Radd and then freaking Hudlin had Black Panther defeat him with a choke hold or something equally stupid.

Oh and right now Rich got beaten up by Cates' "Dark Guardians", and he's basically useless during the whole thing, though obviously that's mostly because Cates wants to jerk off his new team.

Attached: Screenshot from 2019-05-12 00-34-44.jpg (1327x984, 243K)

After he came back, he said he left most of the Nova Force in the Cancerverse, and it was never addressed.
Then again, he beat the absolute shit out of the Black Order, and I don't think they said the arrow made him any more powerful, just subservient to the emperor guy.

Attached: untitled.jpg (1988x3056, 2.5M)

I hate how passive and just THERE he is, it was a similar thing with Duggan's run but he at least tried to give him that Raptor subplot (which went nowhere and he's now using in his Infinity Watch comic with Loki now taking Gloria to space to make Robbie give him the time stone guy).

I'm only looking forward to Ewing's story in the annual since it's a Wendell and Rich story and the artist has posted some of his art for that story and it's pretty good. I hope Ewing's Immortal Hulk keeps doing well, and I hope his Valkyrie with Jane comic does well (even if I don't give a fuck about Jane and Aaron is co-writing) mostly because I want him to either take over GotG or write his own Cosmic comic with an Annihilators type of crew.

If not have Derek Landy do something with him, even his evil Richard Rider in the Black Order mini felt like Richard Rider and he was a credible threat.

>mostly because I want him to either take over GotG or write his own Cosmic comic with an Annihilators type of crew.
From your lips to god's ears, user. I really want Ewing to wrench Cosmic Marvel out of Cates' hands, and part of this is why I hope people turn on him after he attempts his "Death of Rocket" arc, because I don't see it ending well. In fact, I think people will be disappointed by the end of this "Final Gauntlet" arc because it will show there was a build-up to absolutely nothing since they already figured Thanos was lying and are simply reacting to the persecution.
And yeah, Derek Landy would do a great job in Cosmic too, though I'd give him a Nova series and Sims & Bowers could finish their Darkhawk story, see where they take it. Plenty of creative writers to work with, and they give it to Cates because of sales.

>Cates wants to jerk off his new team.
This, just give him his Dark Guardians and Venom comic and send him off and give Guardians to someone who wants to write it (Not Aaron though).

>After he came back, he said he left most of the Nova Force in the
That probably won't get addressed ever again unless there's a Nova solo with Rich again or Worldmind appears in the MCU and a writer decides to bring WM back.I only trust Al Ewing to do it though.

Also didn't WM kept Rich from going crazy due to the Nova force?

I think Landy would do well with a solo book for Rich. Rich's appearance on Black Order was everything I initially wanted when he came back, minus being evil
>Also didn't WM kept Rich from going crazy due to the Nova force?
It eventually changed to Rich being the one who was actually keeping WM sane and he was able to get by fine without him.

The latest preview for GotG #5 pissed off people already because the Quill getting show was just bait and while it was obvious to me (he always ends an issue on a shitty cliffhanger that gets resolved quickly or brushed aside in the next issue) it wasn't to a lot of people.

His Guardians run isn't selling that well anyway and I don't even think he wants to be in GotG that much. He seems more excited over Venom and Symbiote shit judging from his twitter. I bet he only accepted writing Guardians as a way to keep writing CGR, Thanos, and his Dark Guardians. He also gets to mess with Silver Surfer which I also hate.

Yeah Ewing should be given Cosmic, Sims & Bowers should get another Darkhawk mini even if casuals aren't into it. Or at least have Darkhawk appear in a team comic and get the casuals to like him more.

I think he had the Emperor guy be surprised at how snarky Rich behaved and how aware he was that he was being mind controlled. Then Rich tells him it wasn't the first time he got mind controlled implying he already has developed some defenses. I really liked that at the least. I also liked how he went "WTF" when he saw Maw for the first time because he was pretty ugly.

>Quill getting show
I meant Quill getting shot.

>Then Rich tells him it wasn't the first time he got mind controlled implying he already has developed some defenses.
He was referencing and .

Well there's that, the Serpent Crown thing, that one time The Sphinx fucked with him, probably some other thing I am missing. But getting mind controlled is standard for a superhero.

>Don't joke about that because the way things are going with Cates' Guardians it looks like Peter and Gamora are going to lock lips.
I really wish they never gotten him back with Gamora or done the whole "true luv" thing because it was obvious where Gunn was going and these hack writers where going to follow as well.

He already was over Gamora by the time he was flirting with Necker and Gamora was already lusting after Adam and then lusting over Major Victory in DnA's GotG. By Thanos Imperative he was with Nita and referring to Gamora his Ex-Girlfriend.

I blame Bendis.

>He also gets to mess with Silver Surfer which I also hate.
Thing is, apparently it's not even going to be THE Silver Surfer anyway, but a dark version of him. As we all know, Cates prefers to use edgy versions of characters because it's easier for him to blatantly ignore continuity and apply the same voice to all of them, so it looks like this is where it might be heading. It also explains why he's all cagey about it and saying shit like "Oh you don't even KNOW what I'm doing in this book, wait and see!", so this would be the perfect "twist" for people who aren't familiar with this two-issue appearance.
I do not have concrete proof, but upon reading these issues, the art style already shown and the fact that he inserted that "Fallen One" Silver Surfer in Thanos completely unexplained, it's possible this is all there is to it.

Attached: RCO005.jpg (900x1386, 231K)

BTW I just read the preview. Holy shit that's so bad, Groot continues to speak in a voice unlike his, and Beta Ray Bill calls Lockjaw to further cement that Cates' asspull in "Death of the Inhumans" where he had them be "long time friends" and shit.

Also did't it end like this, with BRB and Moondragon taken by Kallark? Why are they with the rest of the GOTG as if nothing happened beyond them taking Gamora? Haha oh fuck, this is pure nonsense.

Attached: Screenshot from 2019-05-12 01-32-55.jpg (405x572, 38K)

I hate that he called him "The Fallen One" because there's a character with that name and that has history with Peter but lol no way is anyone going to bring up Star-Lord killing all those people now.

Well at least Cates is fucking with an alternate version of Surfer and not with the good one, but I bet he'll predictably bring him over to the 616 universe.

Yeah the only one who seemed to have taken a beaten that stuck was Rich. Also he was the only one conscious after Quill got fucked but lol I guess he didn't know how they took Gamora or he fainted? This comic is shit.

Oh and Phyla and Rich, two impulsive and hot headed characters being passive as fuck, God is Abnett's exclusivity with DC done yet? But does he want to go back to Marvel to write the same shit? I don't blame him.

Bump before sleep.

Rich is too pure.

>and then freaking Hudlin had Black Panther defeat him with a choke hold or something equally stupid.

It was Dwayne McDuffie, and the way he told it, he meant for that scene to show that Surfer was choosing not to fight back but be visibly annoyed because obviously he could wreck T'Challa but wanted to talk things out, and the art just couldn't convey it adequately.

>It eventually changed to Rich being the one who was actually keeping WM sane and he was able to get by fine without him.
When did that happened?

Around the time he was forcibly separated from the WM by Galactus

Didn't WM go insane by making sure Rich didn't? Pretty sure Rich mentions it.

So the dude's just trying to be a one man HEAT?

Yep and really sucking at it because at least HEAT made DC scared. Everyone just ignores this guy and after seeing his youtube chnanel it's clear he has some mental problems.

Nah I don't know, they probably won't have Rich pulling Annihilus' guts out of his throat since it's definitely not PG-13.

Bill going all out (which he does almost always) is enough to solo everybody there, not only Kallark come on, Glads is not fucking Sentry

Nova's story seems too damn similar to Carols superficially. Random human gets superpowers of glowing, flight, and strength from alien thingy, then goes off to join alien elite force in space. Wears a blue, red, and gold costume with a star symbol.

would have been fun if they had small cameos of other heroes in the movie. Maybe a background Nova aat the beginning of Infinity War, Wonder Man showing up and being slapped around by Black Dwarf.

Stupid fucking Dick Riders
He's too similar to Carol, they won't make a move for him. Get over it already

Rich's story is about overcoming all the doubts he had about himself and being forged into a leader while also becoming a lone ranger.
I don't even know what the fuck Carol's story was about. That movie makes her out to be flawless with nothing to overcome.

It is amazing how some people are so fucking weird and obsessed that they actually manage to damage an industry like this. And they never actually see that the only thing they do is fuck things up.

I've noticed cosmic characters fall into two categories.

>Ordinary guy with a gun, Han Solo everyman in space type.
>Overpowered space god, flies from planet to planet without a ship, top tier powers across the board Silver Surfer type

It's kind of rare to see a superpower middle weight in space stuff. They are either not powered or they are a Thor level flying brick with energy manipulating powers

It's a hard call with Carol being written very inconsistently lately. She is supposed to me a 50-60 ton mid range area hero. Regular Novas are in the same area. Nova Prime is basically Thor/Wonder Man levels of strong and durable. But Carol is also hinted at being in that same area too.

First issue already had problems with Bill and several heralds having trouble with a black hole. They could easily fly out of a black hole and have done it several times in the past.

>Rich's story is about overcoming all the doubts he had about himself and being forged into a leader while also becoming a lone ranger
This is literally the plot to Carol's movie

The plot to her movie was some dogshit refugee allegory and everyone accepting that Carol's impulsive attitude is the best thing about her instead of a character flaw.

Look, I get you were triggered by SJWs or whatever the fuck but that character arc is literally the same as Carols.

It's really not. By the time she joins the Kree, she's already moved past the guy who wanted to show her why it's called a cock pit and all the other "You can't do something cuz your a girl" shit she went through when she a kid.

Mate, go watch the movie but don't get triggered thus time. I get the arc might have been badly done but that was literally what they were trying to do

I don't have 2 hours to waste on that shit again. How bout you pick up Annihilation instead.

Nice bait sjwfag, but no that's NOT the movie at all. Carol's movie is al about showing off how much she is amazing and successful and loved by everyone and everything goes fucking swimmingly for her. Her only adversity to overcome is evil men thinking she is too weak or helpless.

He debuted in his comic and Gunn didn't use him because it would make Rocket look more fake or something. So yeah I am all for it.

Not really she seems very confident throughout the whole movie.If anything she just trusted Yon-Rogg too much. Not to mention Carol said that she has nothing to prove to anyone while Rich is always trying to measure up to his own impossible standards and to be worthy of being Nova. It has partially to do with him having low self esteem problems, he never thinks he's good enough but still tries.

The fuck did you watch? Actually what the fuck did you faggots see, because I keep reading the stupidest interpretations of the movie.
Guarantee that when the web-dl drops, there will be a lot of imbeciles posting about the movie saying "whoa it wasn't as bad as I thought", proving they didn't actually see the movie during its run and were going by opinions in here... Because this shit right here is not what the movie was about.

Also forgot to quote this, but there's a Nova movie in production already, which might be announced this summer along with the rest. Not even a rumor by the way.

All I've seen is the rumor. Do you have an actual source for that?

It comes from that same site actually: mcucosmic.com/2019/05/07/rumor-development-on-nova-has-begun/
And I was wrong, it is a rumor though it seems reliable based on the amount of talks regarding Richard's involvement in Endgame and how he has been tossed around in previous script versions. Introducing him outside of a GOTG movie allows him to expand his backstory without having to share runtime with the Adam Warlock stuff in GOTG3, which is already a given.

I really hope it ends up being more than a rumor. Hopefully we'll see at Comic Con this year.

Ewing's doing something cosmic later. No Road Home's ending set up Hercules as being part of a team doing stuff in space, and Ewing's said he's got plans for him. That Nova/Quasar story in the annual might be further set-up.

I also read that interview, apparently it involves the new Olympian pantheon all Space Kirbyfied. My thoughts? nuEternals.

Well bwfore that rumor came out Director Adam Mckay, who is a Novafag himself, said that he was certain Marvel Studios was working on a Nova movie. So it might be real but we won't hear any details about it for awhile.

Ewing Eternals would be pretty great, especially after how Aaron shit on them.

Aaron has no clue about the Eternals at all, down to the part where he has them DYING even though the Eternals specifically have respawn pods, dying is not an issue for them. It's not even a factoid, it comes with the territory.
But what pissed me off the most was Ikaris telling Tony about the Uni-Mind, a technique unique to the Eternals that absolutely has NO relationship with regular humans and they shouldn't be able to perform it.

I think in Rich's case, at least, DnA did give him challenges and made him face obstacles that were on par with his power level. He also did have problems fighting Silver Surfer and didn't really take on Galactus (DnA wrote the Big G like an unbeatable cosmic God too). In that same story he fights a psychic bad guy who was hitchiking in Galactus' ship and who posesses people and feeds on their pain and fear and was doing that while Galactus fed on their planets. Rich was trying to save people by that time while dealimg with that thing while also trying to stall Galactus and Silver Surder to have enough time to save everyone. Wasn't easy for him.

Also when he's running from Phalanx infected Gamora and Drax, who are trying to kill him, while fighting the infection within himself.

The problem is that with characters like that most writers aren't creative enough to write challenging stories with them or work ways to give them limits without nerfing them. Abnett at least has experience writing actual sci-fi and 40k which is why he can pull some creative and crazy shit for someone like Nova to tackle.

Ewing said he had plans for Nova? Yes please, take him out of Cates' hands.

No, he said he had further plans for Hercules. Whatever's going on with Herc in space, Ewing's going to write it.

Oh nvm you meant Hercules, damn well that's good too.

He's writing him for this annual. AND he's writing Quasar too in this story, so as a fan of both characters, I'm ecstatic.

Kill Rocket and replace him with CGR fulltime.

Rocket's not even in the book.

He's concealed in Halfworld, and the next arc is called "The Death of Rocket" so he's gonna be soon and that's pretty much where it's heading, no joke. It's almost as if Cates wants to piss people off on purpose to get sales, expecting people to just keep buying it instead of dropping it altogether.

>It's almost as if Cates wants to piss people off on purpose to get sales, expecting people to just keep buying it instead of dropping it altogether.
Isn't that Marvel's playbook for the last decade or so?

But weirdly enough, right now I don't think any other book aside from his are following that "formula". Not that I read Venom, but I've glanced over the discussion in here and Reddit and people are disappointed as fuck with it for that same reason. He did it in DOTI, he's doing it with GOTG... Meanwhile Hulk, Doctor Strange, even Captain Marvel are giving people what they want. Hell, last issue of Captain America had him punch Von Strucker in the face.
