Because there's no way any film, tv show, animated series, or anything will be a 'perfect' adaptation of a medium without doing some trimming here and there.

Quill in the MCU is already a lot different from Quill in the comics, even if the comics are being influenced by the films these days. Him having a different origin isn't an affront to the character, since it's a different version. Having Ego be his father rather than J'Son (oh god, that name) provides for a different story that, in the end, may be more entertaining as a movie plot than all the crap with Spartax (personally, I have yet to find anything engaging about the whole Spartax background).

As for Nova, even if Gunn doesn't have any desire (or direct mandate) to use him, that doesn't really mean anything in regards to Ryder's future in the MCU. After all, this is a massive beast of a thing that's gonna keep going for quite a few years yet.

True and its not like i wont see gotg 2.... Its just a lil sad that gunns ego ( no pun intended ) is getting in the way of quills origin unless ego turns out to have been j'sonn ( i agree man its like the whole kryptonian name thing ) all the time. At least jack burton is him so its a consolation ( kurts been one of my fave actors since the first time i saw big trouble in lil china )

I just really hope for a nova movie......especially since hes alive again ( at least until bendis ruins that too )
