You are not helping your cause I have read Early Nova, You keep the missing point Early Richard Rider is kinda weak just solid stuff comic book nothing better than Sam stuff .It took them years to build Ryder into something awesome and not meh. I wasn't asking to prove they are good I knew you can't pull story-line worth making a movie about from the early years. I was asking what his "Lethal Protectors" Venom, Spiderman, F4 Origins, I am asking what is his "God loves man Kills","Phoenix Saga"etc. There is not some omg goodness story to be told with Richard.
If we are taking about Annihilation, Annihilation conquest, Thanos Imperative. Hell yeah use Richard Ryder it is not even close but those are big stories which need set up and will be vastly different in the MCU. There is no great Ryder Nova stories to get you the awesome stuff and starting at the awesome stuff without right set up makes less good (see Thor Ragnarok use Planet Hulk). Just because you keep saying Rider is better doesn't actually mean it is truth and comic fans always think the older stuff is better.Richard Rider in his prime solo Nova had about 36 issues, Sam Alexander the Nova "who nobody likes" had 32 issue run(they had issue 1 the next month) I will keep saying Nova isn't some sacred ground of franchise it is not even a lock to get made into a movie. Sam has good origin for a movie and great set up to build from, Richard has amazing later stories and the solution is pretty obvious. Just saying
The Last Starfighter is has right dispute so nobody can really do anything with it.
