I also have had a feeling the next GotG wave may be more comic than movie based.

Hopefully Mantis will be done well. I have a strange love/hate feeling toward the GotG movie. I hated how they portrayed the Nova Corp and was not a big fan of the treatment of Yondu and Ronin. However as a whole the movie was still fun.

As a big fan of Nova (still eagerly awaiting his return) I was pretty easily able to get over his softer plastic problem and just enjoy the figure's presence. I'm hoping that maybe in GotG 2 they start setting up the notion of Nova one day getting a movie or at least becoming a character in the movies. I understand James Gunn still wanting Peter to be the only human out there in space but it feels evident that fans want Nova and in the comics their friendship was a nice component.

I also find it amusing that an article would say nobody cares about Nova because frankly "nobody" cares about the vast majority of characters unless they're familiar with the comics. Within the realm of comics Nova actually saw a notable increase in popularity during the mid-to-late 2000s as volume 4 sold well for a comic and received mostly positive feedback. I could just as accurately say nobody cares about Moon Knight or the Inhumans yet both are rich in content and ripe for proper live action treatment. Hell I know nobody cared about the Guardians of the Galaxy before they got a movie, even in comic reading circles they were generally on the far edge of awareness with all three previously mentioned characters/groups surpassing them.
