The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special

The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special ★★★½

Loved the songs, loved the production design, love the generally silly and anarchic nature of the Guardians. This was a sweet and fun addition to the MCU and it made me love these characters even more than I already did.

Truly think Mantis might be one of my favorite Marvel characters, she's just such a sweet delight.

If there's anything that I'm less of a fan of, it all just feels super slight and short. Which isn't a bad thing, but it has the energy of "hey, we came up with this idea late at night while already filming Vol. 3, let's just do it." Not a bad thing, but it just doesn't feel super substantial beyond some holiday charms.

Also great little tease of Maria Bakalova as Cosmo. Can't wait to see more of hero in Vol. 3.
