That guardians of the globe scene was 100x harder to watch than in the comic.

My god... the setup for it... I’m legit feeling depressed

They're either massively nerfing Omniman's powers or the Guardians were a way more incredible force in this version of the story. It's going to create a weird disconnect if they continue the story to the point when other viltrumites can just completely wreck all of Earth's combined forces.

Expanding it into a full fight was an interesting choice. The comic shows it as a quick, stealth assassination. He catches them off guard to the point that they don't know what hit them until it's over. Here he has a full fight with them so it makes them look weak for not being able to take him on 6 or 7 to one. That could help further the point that he can overpower any of them, but it took him a weirdly long amount of time to take them out? I dunno. It was a choice.
