>>100343969Yeah and it was Bendis BSing it. I don't doubt Rich had feelings for Gamora but after she killed those Kree prisoners, her joining the Guardians and lusting after Major Victory while Rich moved on to Necker, it was clear that their relationship was pretty over already.
Not to mention he had gone back with Nita and was very much in love with her to the point he referred to Gamora as his ex-Girlfriend.
That said I don't mind Rich/Gamora but the way Bendis did it felt kind of fake. Loveness handled it much better IMO he addressed the fact that they had lingering feelings yet at the same time showed that they really had little in common outside of being badasses and the sexual chemistry "we were never good at talking but we were good at other things" in a way it's what made their date pretty sweet because they were getting to know each other in a different way.
Right now they are both in the same team but Duggan doesn't seem to want to touch the romance angle with those two and he said in an interview that Gamora was currently obsessed with getting the soulstone to even think of romance. Which is also fine by me because I see Rich and Gamora as an on and off thing and they can both be strictly business.
Not to mention with MCU Starmora being a thing you know it will inevitably happen in the comics (The Dream On one-shot even hinted at Peter having feelings for her) and when it does I hope Rich is far away from that or in a relationship already. DESU I care more about Peter and Rich's friendship more than their relationship with Gamora and I wouldn't want it to be broken over an idiotic love triangle that I know will screw Rich in the end.
