I hate the way the way the writers over the last two series have pissed all over Nova and his relationship with Gamora. The fact that Peter, his “best friend” would go and declare that he loved Gamora from the beginning, knowing full well what Nova’s dying words were to him as he sacrificed himself to save Peter. It’s just crap. Best friends don’t do that to each other. He took advantage of everything that Nova told him he wanted to do with Gamora about getting out of it and having a family and used it for himself to get with her. They practically ignored addressing anything about Peter’s declaration of love right in front of him and their subsequent hooking up and happy bliss. They never had Nova and Peter talk about Gamora nor did they have Nova and Gamora talk about it until nearly a series later. Why have Donny Cates mention their love for each other, only to put her with Peter Quill? It makes ZERO sense. Other than that, the whole PTSD / Therapy angle is outstanding. It was rough. Trauma is rough. The issues of whether or not one deserves to be happy or even loved is something that can resonate with a lot of people. It takes a lot just to hold oneself together under normal circumstances. The scene with Gamora was extremely powerful but did it run entirely true for me, as it seemed to follow Donny Cate’s and other writers complete dismantling of the Nova/Gamora relationship in favor of Peter/Gamora. She supposedly loved Nova with all her heart, but then Peter who has shown almost ZERO indications of loving her, all of a sudden has loved her since the beginning? And this, with both of them knowing how Nova wanted a life with her, she suddenly loves Peter with all her heart? Ugh. I don’t hate any of the characters, I just hate them being portrayed so out-of-character. Gamora’s and Peter’s treatment of Nova is so beyond the pale right now. I really hope that they somehow can fix the Nova/Gamora thing and the Nova/Peter thing. I hate that they destroyed a relationship and a friendship to fit the MCU. Other than that, Ewing knocked it out of the park for Nova( with the exception of an OOC Gamora, but even that scene was powerful) |
