Holiday Special” is stuffed with funny, feel-good Christmas joy, and it’s one of the best pieces of content Marvel Studios has released in years.
It’s a tale as old as time, flipped on its head by the Guardians of the Galaxy. Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord is missing Christmas while in outer space, so his teammates Drax and Mantis try to cheer him up with the ultimate present: Peter’s beloved ’80s movie star Kevin Bacon. Being otherworldly aliens, Drax and Mantis have zero Christmas knowledge, and they can’t tell a candy cane lawn decoration from a “red-and-white curly man.
It wouldn’t be a Gunn film without some excellent songs and a few surprise cameos, and the “Guardians” special delivers within the first few minutes. Without spoiling anything, the memorable opening scene ranks as one of Marvel’s strongest, and some of the wacky original songs should go down in the Christmas pantheon. The rest of the deep-cut holiday soundtrack further underlines how off-the-wall this “Guardians” special is, and how Gunn is a master at his craft.
