Pom Klementieff is given more screen time in this special than in all her other MCU appearances combined, and she makes Mantis the perfect point of view character for this Christmas special. She is both hilarious and heart-warming as she struggles to give Peter Quill the perfect Christmas, and her sincerity and chaotic energy are what carries this story. As alien abduction stories go, this one was pretty funny, and surprisingly touching. It still had all the corny Christmas special elements you'd expect - absurd musical numbers, references to old movies, and everyone learning the true meaning of American Christmas - getting presents. If they made another one next year, I'd watch it.

Pom Klementieff Carries This Special
Get over the zargnuts!
So,,,
The last we saw our Gaurdians of the Galaxy pals they were leaving Thor and Korg (along with those giant goats) on some distant planet.
Since then, judging from this,, apparently things have happened.
The Guardians of the Galaxy have bought Nowhere from the Collector, and are in the process making it their own (which means a LOT of WORK for our band of space pirates).
No one knows where Gamora is, btw. She
has not been seen nor heard about since the events near the end of Endgame. This being the case, has sent Quill into a bit of a blue slump. I mean, he finally got Gamora, then lost her, faded out of existence for 5 years when the blip happened, then comes back, battles Thanos's army, and then, there is Gamora!! Back! Alive!! Then she knocks him on his butt (granted,, this version of Gamora had no clue who he was, so it was a bit justified) and runs. Ugh,, that would make anyone a bit down in the dumps.
While StarLords friends are talking about
his current state, Kraglin mentions that when he and Peter were coming up (as kids) in Yondu's crew, they once tried to celebrate Christmas, but Yondu ruined it, thus ruining Christmas forever. After hearing this, Mantis takes it upon herself to cheer Peter up. She and Drax devise a plan to travel to Earth and abduct the legendary KEVIN BACON to be a Christmas present for Quill! What could possibly go wrong?!? Lol,,,
For all the misses they've had in the last bit, the MCU scores a good home run with the special (James Gunn does good work. Looking forward to seeing what he does with DC). It's plenty funny, and just heartwarming enough.
I look forward to seeing Vol 3.
The greatest marvel holiday special ever created
The guardians of the galaxy wanted to celebrate Christmas and Kevin bacon was the perfect man for the holiday special . Draw and mantis learned some lessons on earth . Christmas is about being with the people that you love and I say that was the best Christmas special ever done . It would have been more funnier with Deadpool he have the biggest Christmas comeback ever. I hope next year they show Deadpool Christmas and more marvel characters come a join him and they make him laugh and cry and Logan arrives and Deadpool goes really crazy . Groot I hope to comes to Deadpool's Christmas party.
Merry Christmas marvel.
