First off, I can guarantee you that Kevin Feige doesn’t take his orders from Jeph Loeb.
You clearly misread Kevin’s quote–Nova was never in any draft of a script, but rather a character they were considering including at the outset, and decided against.
And while I wasn’t a part of those discussions, I think the reason for cutting out Nova is pretty obvious when you think about the movie that they made. The premise of GUARDIANS seems to be about an Earthman in space who unites a rough-and-tumble band of aliens against a cosmic threat. That doesn’t really work as well if you’ve got two Earthmen–which one is your lead?

These Nova fans are ridiculous. Loeb didn’t kill Rider, and regardless what the character’s name is, it isn’t going to be Rich Rider. That has nothing to do with Loeb or his son. Some people are so short sighted.
