I think it’s important to remember that Nebula and Rocket weren’t blipped, so they’ve been hanging out a lot for those 5 years. Plus Nebula has a 5 year head start in the grieving process on Peter.

Michael McCafferty 6 aylar önce

I think that Nebula has a relationship with Gamora right now. You learn that your father kills your sister, then you help kill your father, then past-father captures and tortures you (again), then past-sister helps you kill past-self, and then you both help kill past-father's invading army, and past-father himself dies.. yeah, that is a whole lot to deal with, but that is also a first rate bonding experience. I think Nebula would really want to continue her relationship with Gamora, and I think past-Gamora would be open to that. Now consider things from Gamora's perspective. Some guy walks up to you and says, "In the future, you and I fall in love.Then you died, about fifteen minutes ago from my perspective, now your past self is here and I am a bubbling cauldron of irreconcilable emotions." That is a whole lot of baggage to bring when starting a relationship. It makes sense that Gamora would keep her distance from a still-grieving Quill. I'll bet, though, that Gamora and Nebula chat regularly via the intergalactic version of Zoom.

I can totally see actors "pretending to be someone else" really messing with Drax's very literal mind and Mantis's empath & telepath powers, so that makes sense. As for Nebula hating actors, maybe Karen Gillan & James Gunn maybe just thought it was funny.

It's rare for me to cry at movies and television, but when Peter tells Mantis that her being his sister is the greatest Christmas gift she could give him...

I’ve experienced the long lost half-sister scenario myself. It hit home seeing Mantis tear up thinking Peter would hate being reminded of his father, only for the opposite to happen. Between GOTG & Peacemaker, James Gunn knows how to pull on the heart strings.

FrozenTundra88 6 aylar önce

This may sound weird, but I'm glad Mantis found her anger since Guardians 2. By that, I mean I'm glad that she has no problem asserting herself towards Drax whether it's through argument, protest, or even just plain yelling when he wouldn't stop talking about the zarg nuts. XD Mantis also being a child of Ego is a big reveal, albeit not surprising since he had many. And of course he'd spare the one he found useful (in a way that was completely self-serving). This was a very cute Christmas Special. The opening and closing musical numbers were great, Kevin Bacon was fun, Yondu and Peter's past Christmas was wholesome, and I've been waiting for Cosmo to be more than just a background cameo. She's based on a real Soviet space dog..minus the telekinesis. The only thing is that the wholesomeness of this Special has me dreading what Guardians 3 is gonna put our heroes through.

Nebula got five years of off-screen grieving. Pete got five minutes of grieving mixed in with Titan ass-whopping and a war when he returned (also Gamora kneed him when he saw her again and went from loving him back to being disgusted by him).

lord morklen 6 aylar önce

@SonicMegaKing dude blasted the ever living shit out of a celestial knowing it won't do shit to him cause he killed his mom all those years ago. How he reacted in IW was who he's always been, Can't blame him.

Captain Pike-a-chu 6 aylar önce

@SonicMegaKinghe didn’t fuck up in Infinity War, Strange could have easily stopped things when he was looking at all the permutations and knew what was gonna happen yet he still LET it happen, which means Peter was doing exactly what needed to happen

Luis Alberto Godines Figueroa 6 aylar önce

@Captain Pike-a-chu yes and his reaction was on point, not only a realistic reaction but accurate to Quill, and you can't blame him, and i'm so tired of people still hating him cuz of that, but i'm glad Mantis cheered him up, cause i was done with always seeing Quill full of grief, I cried with his reaction over the Christmas lights and Mantis sister reveal and ofc his heartwarming line

Jonas Quinn 5 aylar önce

@SonicMegaKing Firstly if all character behaved completely rationally and logically at all times even to the point of being out of character then not only would it be unrealistic but nothing interesting would ever happen And secondly if you’ve looked at over 14 million possible ways a situation could go, especially if you’re looking at least five years in the future in some of them, and only found one that could possibly result in victory it’s a pretty safe bet that that’s the only way to succeed especially when spending more time searching could waste time that could be spent preparing and not result in any other solutions

Luis Alberto Godines Figueroa 5 aylar önce

@Jonas Quinn also my Theory is there was no other way because that’s maybe how the TVA wanted it so if Tony and Nat lived maybe it means they might’ve got taken by the TVA and get pruned or maybe Quill if he didn’t “screw” the plan, or mainly Strange cause if he didn’t obeyed the TVA timeline we got then I’m guessing he would’ve taken responsibility for changing the timeline, so yep blame the TVA for wanting Tony and Nat gone 😤

I just find it aesthetically weird how Groot still has a round babyface atop such a jacked body. Also, we NEED a scene where Bucky awakens to find that his arm is missing. 😄

Tbh, Groot's design here really grew on me when I started imagining him as like, a college football boy who's family always goes to the games to see him play. Also, I love Drax and Mantis getting along via having zero social skills. Funnily enough that's basically how they met. For some other random thoughts, I like to imagine that Bucky has a few spare arms or something since he seems to still have it in Thunderbolts. And it’s nice to see some of the people from the collector’s collection out of cages, like that one lady at the end of Thor 2. And lastly, Yondu saying "I hate Christmas!" like an old school kid's Christmas movie villain is way funnier than it has any right to be. All in all, this special was extremely wholesome.

Kay Badberg 6 aylar önce

Groot’s new design is like when a teenager has a growth spurt and gets super jacked but the face hasn’t quite gotten the memo yet.

Logan B. 6 aylar önce

According to James Gunn on Twitter, Nebula went to Earth around the same time Mantis did & stole Bucky's vibranium arm from him. So Bucky will get a new arm going forward. Which could be useful narrative wise; that vibranium arm might be more "White Wolf" and as a Thunderbolt, he might need to look more "Winter Soldier." Especially if he's gonna purify the meaning of that codename like Natasha did with "Black Widow"

Cesar Cespedes 6 aylar önce

This was such a great addition to the MCU, Mantis finally got the spotlight she deserved! (Love seeing all the fun stuff she does in the background in Infinity War). Also this being fun and wholesome before the heart ripping Vol 3 is genius. Cosmo is best dog.

This was SUCH a fun special. Props to James Gunn for capturing that classic 70s/80s "a very special christmas episode" feeling perfectly. I loved that Mantis and Drax were more of the main characters - if they made a "Drax and Mantis show" I'd be so down for that. You can tell they all had a ton of fun making this special, and what a great sport Kevin Bacon was! Apparently, he said yes without even reading a script, what a legend. I love that he got to sing and play guitar as well (he and his brother have a band, "the Bacon Brothers" irl). It's hard to write an original catchy Christmas song but they did not one, but two of them! I agree we need a follow-up about Bucky's arm, it'd be hilarious if next time we see Bucky he has a different arm, and if his new arm breaks during a team up if Rocket is all, "oh, hold on, I have a backup", and brought out the old one, lol. That'd be epic. Cheers!

SweenyTodd98 6 aylar önce

My favorite part is Nebula giving Rocket a present! The number one thing I wanted to see from the next Guardians of the Galaxy installment was a bond between Nebula and Rocket. They spent five years bouncing around space together and that needed to be reflected. Obviously this special wasn't their story it still great to at least get that moment. Although little concerning that Nebula may have basically ripped the prosthetic arm off of a WWII vet.

@Jezzybella Also, to add to this, She's probably had a Father in Tony and even a new Sister in Nat/Morg so while she might missed her Gamora she's has (well had in Tony and Nat Case) a new family to help her through the Grieving.

I recall the Quill-Mantis sibling thing being mentioned years ago, but it’s so nice to see it officially confirmed now. But what I really want to know is how Mantis is besties with Steve. Also, I’m pretty sure the Wakandans are capable of developing space travel going by What If…?. In before the Dora Milaje come after the Guardians.

JackSimpson2077 6 aylar önce

It probably took time for Bruce to set up the time travel machine at the end of Endgame so maybe they met and talked during that time frame after the battle before the guardians took off

jawanddough 6 aylar önce

My only thought on Bucky is that maybe Nebula aquired a more realistic arm from them buying Knowhere and traded it with Bucky. Maybe he is trying to move past feeling like Winter Soldier and wants to look more normal, since he's constantly trying to hide his arm in public and can't really date or meet new people, and maybe feels bad that Wakanda can just remove it. I can't imagine Nebula would just steal it or even know how to remove it, since she knows Bucky was part of fighting to defeat Thanos.

The vibe I get out of Mantis and Drax in this special is like a couple of children trying to impress their parents with the best christmas they could ever have in life. Their sweet hopeful innocence energy just radiates everywhere in pulling all sorts of mayhem in this without caring about, or even realizing, the consequences. They only want to give Quill the best christmas by all means necessary. The guardians is the best family in the MCU hands down

I think the fact Nebula isn't explored as much here is because it's a Christmas special and that is from Peter's culture, not hers.

Her grief is well worth exploring but honestly on a weird, fun Christmas jaunt it's not the time and place.

I love the wacky Christmas song at the start. Groot does look like a "man in suit" but they (Marvel/Gunn) say it's CGI. Soooo...someone in a "green screen" suit and then CGI'd over? The animation was "rotoscoped" where they draw over filmed footage (the animated Lord of the Rings from the 80s and the music video for Take On Me by a-ha also were made that way.) Gunn confirmed that Nebula stole Bucky's arm. There is an older guy quietly drinking in Knowhere and many thought that it was Mark Hamill since he's Gunn's friend, but Mark's son says no and the appearance is credited to someone else (although Mark has been known to use aliases in credits.) Thanks for this! Happy Holidays! ~Be Blessed

Yondu saying sentiment is what'll get you killed in the world of Ravagers hits so hard because he sacrificed himself to save Peter, who he thought of as a son. The ultimate sentiment right there. Also Tony agreed to the time heist to try to bring back Peter for the same reason, and we all know how that turned out, and the only reason Natasha's sacrifice worked is because of all the sentimentality between them, so while it's not in the Christmas spirit, I feel inclined to agree with him.

I had a similar reaction to the first song, that everything said was essentially true... from a certain point of view. the guy that directed this Special, as well as all 3 Guardians movies (and who is now one of the heads of DC Comics's media division), James Gunn, said that "Swole Groot" is 100% CG for this Special. I believe he also said that Nebula went and fought Bucky for the arm, and that the Guardians were only with Thor for a few weeks. I have heard some people speculate that Bucky might be getting a new arm for Thunderbolts, and that the one Rocket gets is an older arm, not sure if I'm totally on board with that, but it's better than nothing. Also, as other commenters have said, Nebula and Rocket weren't snapped, so they had 5 years to grieve the loss of Gamora while Peter didn't. Cosmo is a good dog and did meet the dog that played Lucky IRL, but yes I agree they need to meet in the MCU as well, and I'm excited to see more from Groot and Cosmo in the upcoming Guardians 3.

I'm sure that at some point during the time they spent together, that Thor told the Guardians about how Loki insisted on putting on daily plays in Asgard overly-aggrandizing his own story, and that may be where their unfavorable disdain for actors comes from🤷

Essential missing lines from Loki finale: "You killed Pete Coulson." "Yes." "Did you know you only killed him once?"

I know its unrelated, but I've just seen the Wednesday series, and I'd love to see your commentary on it.

Peter Quill was the ultimate orphan. He lost both of his parents, literally watching both of them die, actually having to kill one of them. He had the only serious love interest of his life stolen from him by her adopted father after she convinced him to kill her but said adopted father prevented him from being able to do it. He's in his late 30s or early 40s and doesn't have any kids. For him to find out that he had an actual blood relative on his own team who he could be together with on a regular basis and would actually understand what his situation is really like, that's just absolute gold. I'm a grown man, and that made my eyes leak a little bit. I'm happy for both of them.

15:50 - “You’ve got the two connecting over feeling like monsters after being cut and made into who they are now.” Okay, for the briefest, shortest moment, I thought by “the two” you somehow meant Nebula and Bucky. Obviously, it’s much more fitting if it’s Nebula and Rocket, but I feel my alternative is also valid; and I had a mental flash of a scene in which Nebula and Bucky are bonding, only for it to end with Nebula yoinking the arm somehow. Anyway, wonderful reaction. I enjoyed it immensely.

Merry Crisis! (The month at least) This special is just made of Good Vibes. I love the Guardians :) On an unrelated I think it would be neat if you watch The Sandman!
