I liked the change that Omni-Man took some effort to wipe out the Guardians. I feel like in the comics it didn't emphasize how strong they really were, but man was that brutal

You could argue that was a better choice to show off how capable the Guardians are. Nolan took some damage and had to work a little bit harder. I liked how easy it was for Nolan in the comic because it showed the massive power difference between Omni-Man and everyone else. Makes him more terrifying that way.

From my non-comic perspective, how could the agency possibly not immediately figure out Omni-Man did it considering he’s literally got their blood on his hands and hundreds of punches on his chest?

Obviously he’s a suspect, but dang.

There is no fight in the comic. Nolan calls them all, kills them easily, and then makes it look like he had nothing to do with it. There are no wounds on him for them to question and he wasn’t at the scene when they find their bodies. Since he’s essentially the Superman of this universe and there is no evidence that he did it they are inclined to believe him.
