Thanksgiving is over and so Christmas has begun. This we can observe from the release of The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. It must have been good because I was absorbed in it, I was never bored.
Mainly it's the story of how Drax and Mantis kidnap Kevin Bacon as a Christmas present for Peter Quill. Dave Bautista and Pom Klementieff are still sweet and funny together.
Klementieff, in particular, is adorable. The standout scene for me was her beating up a bunch of cops and telling Drax he's not allowed to kill anyone. But the funniest gag was actually Nebula's Christmas present to Rocket. I won't spoil it for you but I hope it has real repercussions for the MCU.
The music was good, of course, even if The Pogues' "Fairytale of New York" has gotten to be kind of an obvious choice. That's how traditions start, I guess. In a twenty years, it'll be a standard for childrens' choirs, minus that one politically incorrect line (which was absent from the special, of course).
It was good, but not as good as Peacemaker. The DC universe really is a better fit for Gunn. But you can be sure I'll be checking out Guardians of the Galaxy 3.
The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special is available on Disney+.

Vermilion coins deposit bronze in weight.
Respected stones revoke amounted guts.
Amorphous fish deny alluring bait.
Prodigious cherubs chart enormous butts.
Assembled kings denounce assembled bards.
Egregious writing broke the crumbling wall.
Resplendent hands accept the standard cards.
Aggressive kicks propel the soccer ball.
Accosted guys relinquish 'staches trim.
Delighted lords remove to verdant shade.
Electric lights arranged to pleasure's whim.
Successful deeds deserve their troubles paid.
Disrobing trees reveal a Christmas prank.
Beneath the snow the candy vessel sank.
