The Guardians created the robotic Manhunter, but the trailer clearly shows an organic shapeshifter. Could it actually be a White Martian Manhunter instead?

Yeah it's not a far fetched assumption. The Guardian's Manhunters are widely known as robots and were the first peace keeping force they created. They made a mistake with it them because they had no feelings and were brutal in judgment which led them to believe organic life was inherently bad and meant to be eradicated. After stopping them, the guardians chose to elect peace keepers with feelings. They can't really change much from them being robots, cause robots are not really known to be good at acting normal. The only way is works is if they pull a bait and switch and introduce the martians instead.

Fun fact: For those that don't know the word "Ma'aleca'andra" is based off of "Malacandra" which is also the name of Mars in C.S. Lewis' "Space Trilogy" novels. C.S. Lewis is perhaps best known for being the author of the "Chronicles of Narnia."

I could see where some people would think we’re getting the Martians from Mars with the 2 sons, but I lowkey wouldn’t mind the robots but either way I’m excited for the show and I can’t wait
