What better way to celebrate the holidays than a full-fledged Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special? Today I will be giving my honest SPOILER review for this film.
At the start of this project we get a Star Wars Holiday special style animated intro, with Peter -assumably the first Christmas he got abducted- and Kraglin siting up a Christmas tree to be knocked over Yondu. This is Kraglin's version of how the Grinch stole Christmas, instead how Yondu ruined Christmas.
We find out that the Guardians have purchased Knowhere of a broke Collector, who assumably survived the Thanos attack, even though he was choked by him. This would probably be there base area for Guardians 3.
The opening credits follow a crazy space version of the 97's singing 'I don't know what Christmas is (But Christmastime is here)' I love the way Young Groot dances to the music.
We also find out Mantis and Peter are brother and sister due to Ego making lots of babies with many woman, and killing off loads of children. It seems that they are the only two to survive.
Mantis and Drax fly in the Bowie, probably named after David Bowie. Once they arrive in New York they find a bunch of cosplayers, including Jack Sparrow, Ant-Man, Captain America and Drax is confused to be Kratos from the God of War Game.
I see the similarities but it had me thinking, what would Drax look like with a beard?
They arrive at Kevin Bacons house, who at first is calm, but we get a fun montage of Drax and Mantis chasing Kevin Bacon, and knocking out a few police officers.
In the Bowie, kidnapping Kevin Bacon we get a couple references to his movies, including Footloose. Drax and Mantis find out Kevin is an Actor, and did not really save a town by dancing.
Almost suffocating Kevin Bacon, Peter is enraged about how they abducted a human being, probably because ow he was abducted by Yondu as a kid.
The Guardians give out presents, but my favourite one must of been Nebula giving Bucky's arm to Rocket, calling back the line from Infinity war, "I really need to get that arm."
When Kevin leaves he says that he will see you at easter, we get a post credit scene with a Groot Christmas Tree, Cosmo says "Groot ruined Christmas again." Which makes me think this is one year after the special. Rocket then says, "Now we need another special." I think Rocket can't break the fourth wall, but he's just being very meta like his winking in GotG 2. Maybe we do need an easter special?
That was my review on the Guardians Holiday Special, I would give it a Reload Rating: 89%
