I mean, Phase 2 would have been the ideal time to ride the Avengers-expanding roster films but that was a wasted opportunity and now it looks like even Phase 3 is going to disappoint on that front. And personally I would have gone with just a Nova Corps movie than a Guardians of the Galaxy movie. I mean, in one movie you've got to introduce all 5 heroes' origins and the villains without the benefit the Avengers had of already having plenty of introductions and origin films to set all that up. Since Nova (Richard Rider) originated on Earth it would be an easier, baby-step kind of approach to stepping out into the greater Marvel universe. The Guardians could have been introduced or cameo'd and THEN get their own movie later. But I digest.
