>>106443281the sacking of xandar IS the backdoor to the nova movie, 100%
> thanos shits on xandar> nova prime knows they're fucked, in a desperate move, she uses the power stone to create the nova force/worldmind, which "sacrifices" herself> knows thanos is going to earth for more stones> entrusts it to john c reilly/rhomann dey, to give it to somebody worthy there, since "humans are special", star-lord stopped ronan, blah blah, etc> due to some space fuckery, he's either a) too late to get to earth to help stop the snap, or b) he arrives there in the chaos of the black order attacking new york, and is under the radar concurrently> finds dick rider, you'll_have_to_do.jpg, go back into space to trail black order/thanos> crash course in training along the way, maybe stop at random planet> suddenly snap happens, everybody around them gets dusted, including dey> richie is alone, marooned, doesn't know wtf to do, activates worldmind in the helmet accidentally, it is critical you pay attention at this time. it's glenn close in le tweest for audience> guides him in finishing his training, controlling the nova force, he seeks out to rebuild the nova corpsi don't know who the villain(s) can be. maybe an ex-galactus herald, or some kree fraction
also, you can swap glenn close and reilly if you want and have her travel to earth because "she's too valuable to lose" or whatever, and reilly makes the "sacrifice" but he ends up being worldmind's persona and the voice in richie's head. shit writes itself
