Welcome back everyone this will be my brand new marvel nova video they're finally doing
a nova project they finally announced it so we'll break it all down there's a bunch of easter eggs
and a couple avengers infinity war and avengers end game deleted scenes featuring the character
that you might have heard about so if you're brand new to the channel we are doing videos for
all the moon knight episodes starting next week so we're doing a giveaway for disney plus memberships
all you have to do to enter is be a subscriber and post all your nova reactions on the video
some of you will probably have to wait till after you watch the video to find out what's going on
but some of you might know what i'm talking about recently in your feeds you probably saw
the official announcement that marvel is finally confirmed to be making a nova project with the
showrunner from the moon night series that also really bodes well for the writing on moon knight
if they brought back that dude to develop their nova project everyone remembers the russo brothers
talking about nova back when they were promoting avengers end game a couple years ago macho man
rooster brothers how do you guys not have any nova court member in a fight against thanos
loved the movie but just boggles my mind didn't even have to be richard ryder i look closely
at that scene again there and you will see there are thousands of people yeah you will see richard
ryder in the background of a shot easter egg at the time we were kind of like what the hell what
are you doing that for russo brothers but now it makes a little more sense marvel's been trying to
figure out how to do the nova character right for the last several years since long before avengers
infinity war avengers end game happened in fact like i said there are a bunch of deleted scenes
from infinity war and end game featuring the richard ryder character that clip of the russo
brothers talking about the original version of the character during the final battle of endgame
was just the tip of the iceberg i'll explain all those deleted scenes with the character
in a second but there is a lot of confusion over whether marvel is doing a nova movie like
giving him his own traditional solo movie like you would have seen before disney plus existed
or if they're doing a nova series on disney plus as is now the tradition in marvel phase 4
mostly some minor characters appear in the movies for the first time some appear on disney plus now
currently marvel is developing the project as a limited series on disney plus what that
means though is the limited series is one season like nova would debut on a disney plus series and
then he'd be in all the movies going forward like they're not showing the character and then never
bringing him back it's the same with moon knight moon knight is a limited series but he's showing
up on disney plus first and then he's going to be crossing over with all the marvel face 4 marvel
phase 5 movies and avengers 5. what that means though is you basically get a six hour nova movie
like six forty five minute episodes with him using the same budget as if we were to get a nova movie
all the disney plus shows typically have budgets around 150 million dollars each of them telling
what would have been a movie in six hours instead of two and a half hours like they would have
before when there were only movies moon knight recently is the best example we get six hours
of moon knight origin story instead of two and a half then he crosses over with werewolf by night
blade kit harrington's black knight character from the eternals movie and hopefully we
get a midnight suns in the mcu and then he'll eventually cross over with the new and existing
avengers in avengers 5. so it's basically the exact same deal with richard ryder nova
you probably saw recently in your feeds also talking about a mystery titled marvel space
based tv show they're working on well big surprise that space based tv show is for nova i'll explain
some of the differences between the comic book version and the mcu version of the character
richard ryder nova is actually a human who started out living on earth and is chosen by rhomann dey
this character here played by john c reilly in the first guardians of the galaxy movie even though
they used the character kind of comedically he was meant to be a version of rhomann dey
peter jason quill from tara raised from youth by a band of mercenaries called the ravagers what a
bunch of a-holes in the mcu in the guardians of the galaxy movie nova prime is actually meant to
be glenn close's character who's just the leader of the nova corps in the comics rhomann dey plays
the last surviving centurion of the nova corps like the last living receptacle of the nova force
and he selects richard ryder to succeed him taking all of his powers nova prime he becomes the sole
receptacle for all the power of the nova force which in the marvel universe was kind of designed
to be like the power cosmic the power cosmic is the force wielded by galactus that he gives to
all of his heralds like the silver surfer wields the power cosmic it makes it incredibly powerful
originally the nova force was designed to be similar to that but it gives richard ryder
a measure of superhuman strength durability speed stamina all of his senses it gives him a healing
factor it gives him the ability to generate energy from his body he also becomes the receptacle for
the xandarian world mind which helps him manage the power of the nova force because it's so vast
in the mcu we saw zandar quite a bit xandarians are the main race of the nova corps the thanos
destroyed on his way to take the power stone at the beginning of avengers infinity war
and here's where that deleted scene featuring nova picks up how they would have originally introduced
him starting an infinity war so in the theatrical cut at the beginning of avengers infinity war you
see the rest of the thor ragnarok post credit scene but it's meant to be the second infinity
stone that thanos has come to collect thor loki heimdall at least staying behind on their ship
with a portion of the other dead ass guardians now to stall for time so that the others can escape
thanos has already been to zandar to take the power stone and in the process basically wiped the
entire planet clean with his fleet in the deleted intro scene what would have happened is they would
have shown an extended introduction version of thanos attacking xandar and the nova corps to
take the power stone he would have destroyed the planet killed nova prime glenn close's character
the rest of the nova corps seemingly but after he leaves with the power stone to go after thor
and loki it was going to be revealed that richard ryder was the last soul survivor selected by the
xandarian world mind he would have already been in training with the nova corps he would have been a
junior character but he would have been the sole survivor of the planet the xandarian world mind
would have identified him as the nearest available candidate available for the nova force and because
the world mind manages the flow of all nova energy all across the universe all their tech for all
their empire and everybody else is supposed to be dead he's the only survivor richard ryder becomes
the single living receptacle for all of that power then it would have turned into a little bit of an
mcu john wick arc with richard ryder coming for thanos with all the power of the nova force being
minted as the new nova prime because the events of avengers infinity war are meant to play out very
quickly like thanos assembling all the infinity stones as fast as possible the movie would have
been way too short of a time duration for him to figure everything out so richard ryder would
have come back during the avengers end game final battle had a much larger scene taking his revenge
on thanos and his army similar to what you saw from scarlet witch like she kind of shows up in
the final battles you took everything from me and almost winds up killing thanos richard ryder would
have done something similar so remember how the russo brothers made that joke about zooming and
enhancing on the final battle and you would see nova fighting there with all the other characters
that was originally meant to be a joke the way they presented it in that video he isn't there
in the final battle so don't bother zooming and enhancing on any of that footage you won't find
him but he was there in the original version of the scene so technically they weren't wrong like
they were kind of lying but they weren't lying at the same time he just wasn't in the theatrical cut
what they wound up doing is getting rid of nova in the infinity war intro scene because they didn't
want to spend an extra 10 minutes explaining who nova was all of a sudden and this was going to
be the first time you actually met the character they wanted to get to thanos thor and loki as fast
as possible some familiar characters then when they were figuring out how they were going to do
avengers end game even though they included every mcu character in their sister in that final battle
for the most part they didn't want to introduce nova for the first time as a backup character
for a few seconds that not that many people would notice on first glance while everybody is flying
at each other on screen and things are going crazy so they pretty much gave all of his final battle
scenes his entire story arc to captain marvel and her inclusion was kind of the same deal too
like a left field last minute kind of thing most of you probably know now watching the behind the
scenes that originally they actually shot footage of captain marvel for infinity war and end game
way before they ever shot footage for the captain marvel movie so at the time they hadn't even
figured the character out that's why she looks so different in those two movies than she does in the
captain marvel movie marvel kind of did that thing where they're like here's this brand new character
who's super important that we really want you to care about but we recognize we're just introducing
her right now at the very close of this huge story about a bunch of other characters that
you actually do care about no matter which way they went out it was going to be kind of messy in
order to make all those scenes for nova they would have had to spend way more time during infinity
war setting him up and they really should have spent a solo movie a couple years before infinity
war setting him up to do it properly so eventually they got to the point where they made the decision
to introduce him during marvel phase four later in some space-based plot where they could take
their time and do it properly like you would see during marvel phase one phase two phase three
cut to now marvel phase four in present day and that's what's happening because so much of the
nova core is tied to the guardians of the galaxy movies it is possible that they have a cameo scene
for him during guardians of the galaxy 3 which they're filming right now that movie is mostly
going to feature adam warlock paying off the post credit scene from guardians 2 and most likely
a version of the mcu high evolutionary played by the mern actor from james gunn's peacemaker series
is also possible richard ryder nova gets cut up in the captain marvel 2 plot the marvels
because aside from the fantastic four movie that they're working on right now that's the only other
space based movie that they have that they're developing currently that'll probably change
soon because as you can see in marvel phase 4 even though multiverse is the operative word right now
like we have doctor strange 2 multiverse of madness coming up in a couple months
marvel phase 4 is also getting way more cosmic and that's why nick fury is going to space while he's
been in his space station since spider-man no way home so they'll be doing more and more space-based
disney plus shows more akin to what you see from the mandalorian episodes in the star wars universe
visiting a bunch of different planets around the galaxy but mostly traveling around in outer space
let me know in the comments though what do you think of richard ryder nova finally joining the
mcu officially in which of the marvel phase 4 movies do you want to see him cross over in
i will do videos for the series when we get more details or a trailer it'll be cool to
see what they wind up doing with them but congratulations to tret advent you're the
