Nebula is a phenomenal character to spin-off from the Guardians and fill the sort of \u201canti-hero\u201d space in the current Marvel Cinematic Universe. In the first \u201cGuardians, \u201d Nebula was a villain working for the Ronan (Lee Pace) , the evil blue-skinned…<\/b>
\n(Note: This post contains spoilers for \u201cGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.\u201d)
One of the better aspects of \u201cGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2\u201d is how it brings back characters from the first \u201cGuardians of the Galaxy, \u201d fleshing them out with a deeper dive into their personalities.
Among the beneficiaries of a second look at their character is Nebula (Karen Gillan) . In the second movie, we learn a lot more about what\u2019s going on in Nebula\u2019s cyborg head. She\u2019s one of the kidnapped daughters of the super-powerful Marvel Cinematic Universe villain Thanos and, along with Gamora (Zoe Saldana) , was tortured throughout her upbringing to turn her into a living weapon.
Now that Nebula\u2019s free of Thanos\u2019 grasp, she\u2019s out for revenge. That sounds like the perfect set-up for a Nebula spin-off movie.
Nebula is a phenomenal character to spin-off from the Guardians and fill the sort of \u201canti-hero\u201d space in the current Marvel Cinematic Universe. But Nebula\u2019s a bit different from the protagonists of the \u201cGuardians\u201d movies. She skews way darker, sure, but \u201cGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2\u201d proves she still has a heart. She\u2019 d be great for a solo anti-hero movie, with plenty of room to develop her character and unlock the mix of bad guy and good guy tendencies she espouses in \u201cVol. 2\u201d
As a character, Nebula\u2019s got all kinds of tragic backstory to deal with, but for the first time in \u201cVol. 2, \u201d we see her free of the domination of Thanos and able to go her own way. Given the choice to be straight-up evil or to help others, Nebula softens a bit and could even be counted among the heroes in the movie.
There\u2019s plenty there to explore. In the first \u201cGuardians, \u201d Nebula was a villain working for the Ronan (Lee Pace) , the evil blue-skinned zealot who tried to kill an entire planet. But in that movie, Nebula is little more than a henchman. She commands troops on Ronan\u2019s ship, the Dark Aster, and she fights Gamora, but that\u2019s about it.
\u201cGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2\u201d gives Nebula a lot more opportunity to flex her character muscles. She works through some of her baggage with Gamora, who she blames for a lot of the torment she went through as a child under Thanos\u2019 domination. We get a glimpse of what\u2019s going on with Nebula \u2014 she\u2019s suffering from a lot of pain, but she\u2019s more than just a cyborg who hates everyone.
In the end, rather than kill Gamora as she seemingly planned, Nebula saves her. The pair have a grudging respect and part ways with Nebula planning to hunt down and kill Thanos.
With that mandate, Nebula\u2019s history and her character going through some major changes in \u201cGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, \u201d the stage is set to tell her story. The idea of her heading out into the galaxy hoping to find the resources, weapons and probably people she needs to fight Thanos is a great setup, especially if Nebula then finds herself getting mixed up in adventures and finding people to actually care about.
It could, basically, be the MCU\u2019s answer to \u201cMad Max: Fury Road.\u201d In space. And hilarious.
In the first two \u201cGuardians\u201d movies, Nebula is ruthless, but she comes off more as pretending to be evil than actually being evil. Putting her in some situations in which she finds herself actually liking and helping people \u2014 maybe the other girls Thanos has stolen from other planets, as Gamora mentions \u2014 would be a great way to explore Nebula\u2019s already nuanced and troubled character.
Plus, a Nebula movie is a chance to expand the \u201cGuardians\u201d side of the MCU in a different way. It gives Marvel room to build another female character and lead a movie with a woman, something that\u2019s lacking in the MCU films in general. And it diversifies even more the kinds of stories and genres MCU is capable of encompassing.
A \u201cMad Max\u201d-style space movie through director James Gunn\u2019s established \u201cGuardians\u201d lens \u2014 full of gorgeous vistas, weird locales and funny characters \u2014 would be a perfect vehicle for Marvel to expand on some of the ideas and characters that already make \u201cGuardians of the Galaxy\u201d a blast. And, in Nebula, they have a villain who\u2019s just on this side of the good guy line.
If Marvel is thinking about which characters from these first two movies, as Gunn has suggested they could be, Nebula should be at the top of the list.
