That and the event just couldnt make up its mind on the real threat and both came off worse for it. I did like Thanos new allies though..

: Timelord picked up what i was saying about the
: Stormtroopers. Though I do admit that they
: got better after the first three movies.
:
: Out of curiosity, was i the only one
: disappointed with Thanos is the most recent
: Infinity arc? Could be I just enjoyed the
: nihilistic monologues that Starlin and DnA
: would give him to much...
:
: If you are looking for a good laugh go back
: to 2003 and read The End. I laughed for a
: good 20 minutes after reading the last issue
: recently. Thanos and Warlock determine that
: death will now be final in the Marvel
: Universe. No more resurrections, cheating,
: swindling, what have you for coming back to
: life. Heh, still makes me laugh.

: Couldn't agree with you more. It is shabby
: the way Marvel has treated the Rider
: character and fans.
:
: Basically, they thought there were so few of
: us and that we cared so little, they could
: do this and there wouldn't be any serious
: consequences. They thought we'd buy NINO,
: forget about Rider, and that they'd get
: Spiderman fans aboard for the re-packaging
: of Spidey's story. Any readers lost would
: be more than made up for with
: Spider-zombies. Bad theory. They've lost
: money on it.
:
: They underestimated the popularity of Rider
: and overestimated the interest in reading a
: re-packaged re-telling of teen Spiderman.
: Also shows they completely misunderstand the
: appeal of the Nova character. Giffen and
: DnA got it better than anyone since Wolfman.
: Everyone else is (and has been) stuck on
: making "Nova" into Spidey-lite.
:
: I primarily blame Brevoort for this. He's
: been around the longest and he's stuck on
: seeing Nova as Spidey-lite. He's even
: admitted that he thinks NINO is the ideal
: conception. I've urged him on numerous
: occasions to recuse himself from further
: involvement in the Nova-verse because of
: this bias.

: I'm a decent SW fan but nothing crazy...Ive
: read a few of the expanded books awhile back
: and some comics. I do love SW though.
:
: The bottom line should be Nova Corps in
: movies = Nova corps in comics if marvel is
: consistant?
:
: ..and I think we all hope the MCU gets on
: our side.
:
: Man , this is one of the biggest fights in
: marvel history IMO...i felt less passion for
: the John Walker Saga IMO.. (I actually dug
: Walker)
:
: I think this poorest execution of a legacy/
: replacement in comic book history on a lot
: of levels.

: lol! Got nothing against Stormtroopers,
: Clones, etc. Just pointing out that in the
: first set of films at least they did little
: except miss targets and get killed en masse
: by the good guys. I'm only a casual Star
: Wars fan - so have not kept up with
: books/comics/games/TV shows. You sound like
: an avid SW fan. I can't wait until they
: take Bendis off GotGINO and put Bendis on
: Marvel's new SW comic (you know that's going
: to happen because they're expecting that to
: be a major money maker and Bendis always
: gets put on major money makers). If they
: think we've been hard on him for GotGINO,
: just wait till he messes with SW. You SW
: fans will give him the worst flaying since
: Theon Greyjoys! I am an avid Original
: Series Star Trek fan. With obvious
: exceptions such as Scotty; the red shirts
: really existed primarily to get killed en
: masse.

:
: wait...stormtroopers are a huge part of why
: Star Wars was cool though. Even though we
: have not seen much done with them on the
: silver screen a lot has been made of them in
: other mediums..
:
: I hear what your saying but its somewhat
: "simple"..and clone troopers and
: where they took them were the only thing
: good about ep 1-3

: Yeah I thought the same thing. They're
: basically a combination of the throw-away
: good guy "red shirts" who die en
: masse and the "stormtroopers" who
: can't shoot straight and die en masse. Too
: bad the powers that be can't grasp the
: potential I outlined in the thread about our
: fantasies about how a Nova book should be
: written.

: I thought on the Nova Corps being in the
: GotG
: movie is Stormtroopers. Just there to make

: ineptitude.
:
: But I also have low opinions of John C.

: You know the answer here..the $ Loeb pitched
: was too inviting.
:
: The comic side knew there hands were going
: to be tied more with GOTG as the movie was
: known about...but they didnt know with Nova,
: and opportunity knocked for a reboot of the
: char via Loeb's vision..unfortunatly we
: couldnt even get something like blue beetle
: or jason rusch and instead Loeb gave us
: poochie from simpsons.
:
: Looks like the mcu does have a potential
: angle on a Nova corps. My guess is we need
: to wait and see how Gotg does. If it rakes
: marvel a billion bucks..we will see more DnA
: stuff return..maybe even the nova
: corps...which poochie is welcome to join and
: earn his stars.

: Beyond the obvious answer of the GotG movie
: using Drax/SL/Thanos and the Marvel
: Cinematic Universe using Thanos as their big
: bad in general - what I'd like to know is
: why Rich's death is so canonized; but
: Drax's, Thanos', Starlord's same event/same
: sacrifice/same death - are not so canonized.
: In other words, I just want Brevoort, Loeb,
: and Alonso to own up to their BS spin on why
: NINO was created and why Thanos, Drax, SL
: were brought back and Rich wasn't.

: This not being 616 Quill makes alot of sense
: considering just how different he is in the
: new run.
:
: I'm kind of hoping that will be his Original
: Sin revalation. I guess we will see soon.
:
: --Previous Message--
: MY thoughts
:
: -I had mentioned my original drawn out
: theory that Rich was Jesse Alexander, I
: still stick with that as how it will pan
: out.
:
: -The Rich in Cancerverse is intriguing.
: Given the time period of when things went
: bad in that reality, i dont know what would
: have become of the nova force. Machines were
: immune, so logically worldmind should have
: downloaded human minds to robot bodies and
: had an android Nova force..just a thought.
:
: -On this same token it may have been that
: RIch could have downloaded worldmind into an
: android character still alive.
:
: I hate most of the Ideas of Thanos absorbing
: RIch's powers..might well be the case. I'm
: not sure if it really resembles Nova corps
: stuff as it is just an updated look myself.
:
: Another way they could have got out is the
: same way the many angled ones got in..these
: were gaps between the realities.
:
: Shuma Gorath is solicited to appear in
: Surfer coming up.
:
: What about this "SHOCKER" QUill
: and Drax are not the 616 versions and are
: from the cancerverse in much the same way
: evil Quasar hid out?
:
: Wouldnt this explain a lot of what we've
: been missing LOL!

: Lets begin with this new message thread
: since
: the Nova board is in need of some new one.
:
: I have been scouring the different sites
: throughout the internet and one question
: that seems to been asked by different people
: is how did Thanos, Drax, Peter Quill
: (Starlord) and possibility Rider Nova
: himself escape the Cancerverse.
:
: Since the fault line was closed by the
: sacrifice of Rider/Nova and Peter Quill,
: escaping the Cancerverse would be very
: difficult.
:
: One way of escaping the Cancerverse and
: return back to 616 is through Nova's ability
: to generate a Stargate.
:
: As describe by Novaprimepage's Novapedia, a
: stargate "is a mechanical apparatus
: created by the Shi'ar Empire which links
: space, warp space and interlocking realities
: together. Xandar was given the Star Gate
: technology as a result of their alliance
: with the Shi'ar. Nova's access to the Star
: Gate is achieved by combining certain
: aspects of his Nova powers together. The
: combination of the Tesseract Release, the
: Systems-Adapt Mode, the Flight Navigation
: Sensors and Gravimetric Pulse open the Star
: Gate with the destination determined by
: Nova."
:
: The cover image for GotG #18 shows
: Thanos's uniform is growing. This might be
: due to Rider either force to give some of
: his Nova Force power to Thanos to either
: help fight Shuma-Gorath of the Cancerverse.
:
: He could also give some of his Nova Power to
: Thanos because he is processing to much Nova
: Force and needs to release some of it so
: that he will not be driven insane.
:
: It could also be Quill somehow convince
: Rider to give Thanos some of his Nova Force.
:
: There might also be a Cancerverse version of
: Rider Nova Prime that somehow aid Thanos
: and give some of his Nova Force to Thanos.
:
: Either way, using the Nova Force to create a
: stargate seems to be the most logical
: explanation as to how they escape the
: Cancerverse.
