I think the Guardians have the potential to take it as long as Nolan isn’t blood lusted in the same sense that the Justice League could probably take a none blood lusted Superman (sense he’d be consciously or subconsciously holding back).

None of them individually stand a chance at all, and even together it’s a small chance, but there’s still a chance.

That’s how to story presents it at least, but in actuality based on feats, there’s nothing they should be able to do to take Nolan.

We saw Mark hit Nolan with a hard hit to the face and not even get a reaction out of Nolan other than “please”. Mark is presumably stronger or at the least the same strength as the Immortal, who seemed to be the strongest of the Guardians, so if Mark couldn’t hurt him, it’s unlikely they could either if he was serious.

Didn’t Nolan consider most of them his friends? Probably thought it was the most humane way to do it

It does seem like they stepped Amber’s character back a bit from the first season and she’s seem much more likable so far this season

With that said, I’m not sure if that’s a smart move since >!We know he has to end up with Eve!<
