Yeah the more I think about it, the more I think this change in the animated version makes sense.

This way, the Guardians seem more like a threat to a single Viltrumite. And we see much later that, if the Guardians had known and were able to work together and rally, they actually stood a chance at restraining Omni-Man, at least for a short amount of time. Though I will agree that I do not think Nolan should have been as injured as he was here.

I think Nolan might've done it intentionally l, as if he was somewhat seriously injured, his story would be more believable

I can see what you mean. But at the same time, these guys weren’t supposed to be total push overs either. I’m glad Nolan got his ass kicked a little, it actually made it feel like the Guardians were actually a team who could put a fit up even caught off guard. I think the comic version was just too quick. But it still did it’s part in shock value

[u/remmanuelv → u/Lil_Bonzer]

He was put in a coma, not injured a little. The Viltrumites are monsters power-level wise, and Nolan is supposed to be at least mid-tier at the start. A single one of them is supposed to be able to conquer pretty much any planet, and Nolan even makes a list of shit that can take them down because it's so rare, and Earth is never made a special case even with all their superheroes.

I hope it turns out he was holding back.

Loving the show anyway.

Idk how to put the spoiler thing so I’m not gonna post anything about what happens detail wise. But the Reboot literally makes the case for this scenario all together. In issue #124 and a few issues after shows that Guardians being competent even with the slight help from Invincible.
