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.

I think the show still shows that.

The Guardians are the best of the best, but Omni-Man was still able to singlehandedly kill them all.

They were still able to put him in a coma. It’s a much different feeling compared to Omni-Man killing them all without breaking a sweat. This feels like if you throw enough supers at him then he is taxed. It’s the difference between overwhelming power that makes him more terrifying vs. tremendous power, but still potentially beatable . Hopefully, it’s a case of Guardians being upped vs. Nolan being nerfed.

I kind of got the feeling he let them do some damage to draw suspicion away from himself. With how easily he killed a couple of them, it seems like he definitely could've stopped them from hitting him if he wanted.
