Semi off topic James Gunn will be the only director to start a Marvel movie series and see it all the way through to the end. Unless Marvel makes more Guardians movies after 3. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}On the map to the stars I recognized Queen Latifah, John Cena, and Ahnold. Does anyone know who the young woman and man were?
Edit. Woman was Margot Robbie and young man was a young pic of Mark Paul Gosselar. Which makes no sense to me as the other pics were current. Jon Watts am I a joke to you? I was thinking MCU. So I win by technicality. The best way. If we go by non MCU we also have Sam Raimi.

{Spoiler} I love that Mantis and Steve clearly spent enough time together post-Endgame battle for her to get this excited to see him. Also, Go Bots are an actual race in the MCU and killed Drax's cousin?

On a related note {Spoiler}Given the revelation about Mantis and Peter's relationship, what does that say about the theory about Quill's grandmother and Steve?

Just finished watching it with my dad. He enjoyed it even though he had no idea who these characters were. Really enjoyed Drax punching out Cy-Kill.

That was fun, fast moving, and incredibly heartwarming. It was everything it needed to be. I could absolutely see this becoming a Christmas viewing tradition for me, it’s so much fun

I’m calling it now. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}Drax is eventually gonna be Quill’s brother in law. {Spoiler}Don't be silly, Drax would never marry anything as grotesque looking as Mantis, he has standards.

It's been done a million times before, but Drax laughing while being shot really works and is hilarious.
I think because Drax isn't trying to be sarcastic or a badass, the bullets are literally tickling him.

I laughed at the super random go-bot line. I was a big Go-bots fan as a kid so I enjoy when they get some love, or a punch in the face as it were. This was fun. I may watch it again at some point.

This wasn't very good. Looks like a TV movie. The leads come across like major assholes, but not in the endearing butthole sort of way. The animated segments look cheap and rushed.
As a vibe, I like it, but the execution is a wide miss.

The animated segments look cheap and rushed. It's a homage to the animated segments in the Star Wars Holiday Special, which are similarly cheap and janky.

Did you go to this in theatres? Because as far as I’m aware this is a TV movie, I certainly didn’t have the option of watching it in theatres. I could only watch this movie on my TV

I could only watch this movie on my TV No, but bracketing the superheroics of the action sequences and the appearance of the characters themselves, this special looks no different than a Lifetime Christmas movie, which, to me, isn't a watermark of visual quality. YMMV.

James Gunn went to Hasbro to get permission to use CyKill ..
Did not ask for any of the Transformers which he could have since Hasbro own them too, he wanted a Gobot specifically. 😂

I decided to watch it and boy did I f***ing love it. Just the perfect Christmas story for kids, but enjoyable for all. Hits all the right beats.
- I need more Cosmo - That opening song SLAPPED - loved all the self-shit talking on actors. - when Rocket got his present I was like “that better not be no f***ing ar- yup” - the quill/mantis moment at the end.
I loved how Drax & Mantis were just normal in everyday earth life. Kind of reminds me of some of the comics. I really appreciated the cursing and the cops using their guns in a thing mainly aimed for kids cause kids aren’t stupid. In fact, there was quite a hit of subtle dark humor. Fricken Gunn.
Kept thinking throughout “this du runs dc now”. This is second to the first movie for me. Disney+ should try to do more things in this nature.

I liked it because I enjoy anything that gives my beloved Mantis more screentime, but from the production quality down to the Kevin Bacon thing, this kind of reminded me of The Web from Nathan For You, where they had to cobble together something out of footage that they already had on hand, along with a couple new scenes, in order to create something to win the ELAIFF.

As a horror fanatic I was initially annoyed that Bacon didn’t correct them about Jason not being the killer in his movie. But then I realized there’s a decent chance the real Kevin Bacon doesn’t even know that at this point and made peace with it.
