I wonder if there's a reason they're changing the Guardians' storyline so much. Immortal and Mark are less hostile to each other, and now they're seemingly changing character deaths. Only thing I can think of is they plan to expan the Guardians' role in the larger story. Maybe some of the Guardians will take the place of some of Kirkman's characters they can't get the rights to?

Immortals can take Tech Jackets place if they can’t get him in the show Immortals been buffed significantly from his comic version to be low viltrumite level so he can throw hands with all the unnamed viltrumites

Is the right to tek jackets owned by someone else? I guess they could just include a new generic tech guy instead.

Tech Jacket is co-owned by the artist Kirkman collaborated with on his original comic, so Amazon would have to make a separate deal to obtain the rights to him. Same goes for Brit, Science Dog, Capes Inc. and Wolf-Man and the W.O.L.F. Corps. I think also the Actioneers.

Not only that, but Kirkman himself doesn’t want to sell the rights to everything he has to just Amazon, which makes sense. No reason to give just one distributor total leverage over him.

It’s Kirkman coming up with an alternate so he doesn’t have to sell all his characters to Amazon. He’s said that much explicitly. I respect it.
