![]() ![]() Xandar could be re-envisioned to something more like the comics, Asgard could be entirely rebuilt, and villains could become heroes while new heroes are introduced and old heroes are killed off. Much like the deaths of half of the Avengers heroes in Infinity War, get ready for a wave of retcons coming with Avengers 4 and the other upcoming films which could play with different parts of the MCU timeline and offer more context and perspectives to some of the things we've already seen. Ronan, for instance, becomes a bit of a hero in the comics and it'd be great to see him more than a crazed, brick-flying maniac who's easily distracted by dance moves. In that Nova movie, which Marvel Studios president of production Kevin Feige says is likely coming sooner rather than later, the siege of Xandar could be depicted on screen in all its glory and maybe this time they'll put up a fight.Īnd before that, Captain Marvel will introduce younger versions of Ronan the Accuser and his ally Korath (Djimon Hounsou) in March 2019 which we expect could retcon their characters to add more personality and complexity to the villains. We had a movie dedicated to saving Xandar and with a line of dialogue all of that accomplishment is wiped (the same goes for the theme of Thor: Ragnarok where Asgard is its people and not a place, half being wiped out off screen), presumably by the same forces that couldn't even defeat the less advanced heroes of Earth (until Thanos arrived of course). While 'sources' close to the project are claiming that, it is noted by reporters that the final format of Nova has not been officially confirmed. And don't tell me in the years since Guardians of the Galaxy highlighted their ineffectiveness that they still didn't beef up planet security. In the end though, it doesn't matter because Avengers: Infinity War throws all of that away. How could it have been at war with the Kree Empire without any war machines? Don't tell me those little web-making ships (called "Star Blasters") are what they fought the Kree with in an intergalactic war. Xandar is just a planet that doesn't make sense. They have no effective warships, planetary defences, or anything that can stop a giant brick from falling to the sky (Ronan literally flies a giant, non-weaponized twisty-looking brick and drops it on the surface). ![]() Xandar has virtually no military presence in GOTG 1. In that story, Ronan the Accuser's (Lee Pace) goal is to attack and destroy Xandar and its Nova Corps space police force because his people, the Kree, have been long at war with them. How did Thanos so easily take Xandar without the aid of a Power Stone and why didn't the Guardians help out since they're all about answering distress signals (and how didn't they know this happened a week earlier)? Well, the first part is easy to answer and doubles down on a problem of the first Guardians of the Galaxy film. ![]()
