Are you freakin' kidding me?! Absolutely insane. I know the Marvel universe has certainly gone to the well more than a few times on trying to "ground" the look of it's heroes. But if this isn't jumping the shark, I don't know what is. Take a long sip on your coffee before opening the link to this story below...

Not a huge fan of the character but I instantly knew what it was and it was much more comic like than I anticipated.
So I'm probably missing something here.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

The fact it's a $200 million production might be what's missing. This looks like a fan-boy costume. Simply being able to surmise who this might be (with little or no personal attachment to the character) is not a reason to give it a passing grade for me. But then again, it's one of my favorite characters, so I'm going to want a little more bang for my buck. This monstrosity looks like Stark's SWAT team in space. The concept is way off the mark. Here's some visual prompts to illustrate:
Nova from the 70's...
Nova more present day...
Movie Nova...
Looks like Judge Dredd and Iron Man had a kid...

That does look like cheap junk. They can modify it, but it at least needs form and function.
This looks like spare parts from IM3Comment

Maybe they are thinking they have to rein this one in a bit since the concept is WAY out there for the previous Marvel movies, and may be a bit for the general audiences who have loved these movies so far. Green Lantern going all out with the Corps may have influenced the more toned-down look as well, because we know how that went over.

All may not be lost, Tom. I read this is the standard issue uniform for the prison guards and that the elite Nova Corp look different.I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

I'm still trying to understand why a Guardians of the Galaxy movie is even being made...Think OUTSIDE the Box! For the BEST in Repro & Custom Packaging!Comment

Looks like standard foot soldiers to me dime a dozen officers. Nova I think would look totally different.....I wouldn't sweat it....It's not a Nova movie.....Comment

Agreed. It's a weird choice, even if you're going the space opera marketing route; especially considering the mishmosh the team is. Groot? Rocket? Weird....
>Looks like Judge Dredd and Iron Man had a kid
Haw! Yeah.... This is a tricky one 'cos the actual Nova Corps from the comic are pretty generic looking. Tights, Magneto's helmet with a different crest, Thor nipple guards.... It's difficult to fudge that into a film.
>Guardians will fail at the box office.
Doubtful. Most big budget movies make a good chunk of cash, regardless. Folks will go see it as long as something blows up.

^I honestly don't get this either. I'm not against it, but it just seems an odd choice, since all the previous Marvel Studios films have been based on the core concepts from the 60s. Before this modern team, Guardians of the Galaxy was only a marginal blip on the MU radar, with the 90s series being the only real time they had a permanent home. Seems odd to think Dr. Strange is taking a back seat to these guys, but I'm willing to give it a shot.

Yeah. It almost feels like they're trying to expand the brand with some of the lesser properties. Hell; the Kree were in the Avengers cartoon....
