The Guardians Of The Galaxy Holiday Special - MARVEL REACTION

[@robtrinreact2825]

Christmas in August! Let's goooo! With Guardians of the Galaxy, it's totally worth it. Next week on KZbin "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania". For those who are interested on Patreon we are a bit ahead, we watched GOTG vol3. Loki season2, and we are currently watching What if…? season 2. After that we will Watch the mini-series "Echo" and then it will be the Netflix shows starting with Daredevil. We appreciate you guys, for all your support, so don't forget to hit that subscribe button, it really motivates us to keep up the content. And of course if you are interested in the full reaction, you can find us here : www.patreon.com/takeaticket (You can find the latest uploads of the shows we are watching and much more) Much love Rob and Trin

[@dharshanr3732]

U will be uploading all of those right on KZbin? Even the netflix shows can't wait for those shows and your reaction

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

@@dharshanr3732I’m pretty sure (almost positive, in fact) that they will, they’re just a couple/few weeks ahead on Patreon.

[@robtrinreact2825]

We will for sure edit all of it for youtube as usual 👍

[@valent4974]

And what about Secret Invasion? That one came out before Loki s2 and What If s2

[@HIPsteHeero]

@@valent4974 They watched that one for themselves outside of reactions. It's really been the only real exception for that, and hopefully will stay the only one as well. But there was absolutely no demand for it, and only people shitting on it.

[@Barovian20]

Nebula stealing Bucky's arm for Rocket is one of the single best moments in the MCU. We totally need a special on *how* that happened.

[@markmatson]

My understanding is James Gunn was annoyed that Infinity War killed Gamora, so he stole Bucky's arm as revenge. Now the next director of something with Bucky needs to deal with that.

[@Kr4th]

i want to thumbs-up this comment but its currently at 69 upvotes so i cant in good conscience give it a thumbs up right now. im sure you understand.

[@reallynow5357]

Mantis was actually a warrior in the comics, the creator was actually disappointed that she barely fought in any of the movies. They fixed it here and the next movie 👌

[@s.c.sanchez1610]

I love the backstory given here for Yondu's love for knick knacks and figurines that he keeps on his dash. It makes that smile when he sees the Power stone was swapped for a Troll doll even more meaningful It's so cool when a writer can add more to their past work like that.

[@path5657]

Mantis and Drax's personalities compliment eachother so well! I never knew how badly I needed to see them kidnap Kevin Bacon and call him a disgusting actor until it came out... But its so perfect!

[@pengbingyan5113]

they share one brain cell lol

[@Poooof]

And in some parallel universe Kevin Bacon killed Magneto's mother

[@eqgilethan]

Kevin Bacon heard about the reference to him in Guardians before he saw it. One of his cousins saw the film and told him about it. He thought it was funny, so I'm sure he was happy to jump into the MCU as himself, and likely had a lot of fun doing it.

[@WarpigGaming.]

They stopped filming gotg3 to film this .....that's why everyone is there, its also a setup for gotg3 and first look at new groot

[@hiccuphufflepuff176]

Kevin Bacon once described the surreal experience of going to the first Guardians movie just to watch a Marvel space-hero movie, and being surprised when the main character mentioned his own name. lol

[@iczorro]

I'm so happy Trin made the observations that she did. Bring a whole box of tissues for Guardians 3.

[@taniafontana]

Yep. A WHOLE box. Each. And prepare to get emotionally wrecked. 🤧

[@roystoyscomics1361]

Knowhere isn't a planet. It's the severed head of a Celestial that was repurposed into a Space Station which now is apparently Guardians HQ home base of operations. 😂

[@hiccuphufflepuff176]

Which means two half-Celestials are living in a dead Celestial's head, and one of them is from a planet with a dead Celestial in the ocean. What are the odds?

[@roystoyscomics1361]

I don't think I would take that bet. 😆

[@gradybridges]

You've never heard of the Bacon Brothers? Kevin has been in a band with his brother for decades

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

I’d guess they’re far more well known here in the US than in the UK & other parts of Europe. Even so, when Kevin started singing, I had to remind myself that he’s been in a band with his brother for many years, so it’s hardly surprising that they’re not aware of it.

[@gridlo]

@@gradybridges they play here in Philadelphia often

[@gradybridges]

@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 They have been active since 1995. I suppose Americans would have a better chance to know, but if you follow him on socials or have seen him in interviews it's no surprise.

[@stevenjwiles]

That look from Rob. Lol. 22:05

[@beldin2987]

Yeah, that one was really funny. The realization that Kevin Bacon is an actor also reminded me of "Galaxy Quest" for a moment.

[@TheOriginalSpooniesWorld]

I love it when an actor's ego is healthy enough to play a parody of themselves...well done Kevin Bacon!☺️ As always thank you both for another fun reaction!☺️💚 Quick thought.... I highly recommend the Amazon show called Jury Duty where James Marsden plays a version of himself along with a ton of other actors with one exception...the ONE real jury member who thinks it's a real trial!!! It's fantastic and I'm a little bias because the one real jury member is from my home state of Oregon☺️💚

[@TimSedai]

Hahaha (the Bucky's arm joke) right up there with the best of D+ Marvel stuff!

[@gridlo]

In case you're unaware, they’re paying homage to the infamous 1978 "Star Wars Holiday Special"

[@HIPsteHeero]

In what way? Both are EXTREMELY different things in pretty much every single way, lol

[@gridlo]

@@HIPsteHeero The title for one thing. And the animation in the opening is exactly the same.

[@HIPsteHeero]

@@gridlo I don't really see it honestly, and if anything, the LEGO Star Wars Holiday special I would have agreed with more than the original, lol. And especially the special itself is absolutely nothing like the holiday special, so at most if you're right about the title, then only the title is spoofing it.

[@Iam_Stu]

Yeah spoof isn't the right word here. The title and it being the "space" team getting a holiday special is definitely an homage, but that's about it.

[@HIPsteHeero]

@@Iam_Stu Yeah, exactly what I was thinking as well xD

[@ValerianBajak]

I always wanted a Drax/Mantis show or movie and this exceeded my expectations. I adore Mantis and it's good to see her grow and evolve.

[@Cerridwen7777]

Kevin is a wonderful musician and singer irl. He and his brother perform/record as The Bacon Brothers, and i was lucky enough to catch them in a small bar venue in Chicago around 1999 or so. It's a folky rock sound, and very well done.

[@Cossieuk]

Drax and Mantis are the best comedy due in the MCU

[@ulricaandrae4381]

Drax and Mantis are great together! I’d totally wanna hang out with these two for a night out. And Nebula dancing was perfect! 😅

[@antoniumsolutions1791]

It was so much fun watching this with you even in the middle of Summer. I met Pom at Terrificon a few years back..... she is so nice. Pom K. and Dave B. are so good together ......like peanut butter and jelly or Fish and Chips. I love them so much.

[@LauraCourtneyette]

The Baker Brothers are a real band - they’ve been playing for years 🎵

[@randalthor741]

This is just a fun little holiday special, nothing more, nothing less. I'd go so far as to say it's exactly what I want in a holiday special. The right amount of humour and silliness, a few actually heartwarming moments, and lots of important Kevin Bacon lore: the 3 essential components for any successful Christmas special!

[@Matisaro]

Smiles and joy. "I can't wait till part 3 if this is what it is gonna be like" Oh you sweet summer child.

[@Shritistrang]

That was the cutest and funniest alien abduction I have ever seen.

[@jonah64]

The bartender was Flula borg. He was javelin in the suicide squad. might be where you recognize him from.

[@karlbecker8775]

Flula Borg is the German you are seeking. Also, Kevin Bacon actually has a band.

[@lonestar4378]

This was so much fun! Love The Guardians! ♥️♥️♥️

[@anthonyleecollins9319]

It worked out great, for me, that you waited until now to watch this, since now I get to be reminded of how much fun this show is. 🙂

[@jackmarshall3255]

I love this special it’s one I would probably watch every Christmas.

[@Stable_Delerium]

I think this is the most you guys have laughed in a video, and I’ve seen you two laugh a lot. 😂

[@phillipuhal3647]

One of the best things to come out of this phase❤

[@antje_germany3827]

Kevin has a band with his brother

[@Airrazor0620]

been a long way… we’re finally closer for them to see gotg vol 3

[@gridlo]

I'm playing the game too! The characters are the perfect blend between the movies and the comics. (unlike The Avengers game where they look like cheap MCU knock-offs) And the story fleshes out the lore in very interesting ways. For example, Starlord was the name of his favorite band (who are on the soundtrack). I prefer that to the origin in the movies.

[@Midv1322]

Great underrated Game. I think the failure of the Avengers game kinda effected this games sales. Hope we get another one. All that said the origin of Star Lords name in the movies was so well written. He gets mocked the entire movie for his egotistical name he keeps trying to make a it a thing. Then he opens the gift from his mom finally at the end and she refer to him as her little Star Lord. Such a great little emotional twist to something that was the butt of every joke throughout the movie. With that one twist they made one of the most rediculous names in comics instantly work in live action. It being his favorite band is cool but I prefer James Gunns version.

[@gridlo]

​@@Midv1322 I guess the sequel explains it but it felt pretty arbitrary to me that his mom would nickname him Starlord of all things. BUT yeah, the sequel explains she knew his father was an alien so I suppose it works, retroactively.

[@Midv1322]

@@gridlo the sequel obviously expands upon it as it should. But she tells him his dad was an angel made of pure light from the heavens or someshit like that. Then the end right before he opens that letter from his mom. Nova prime tells him his dad is some kind of ancient alien. I don’t think it came across arbitrary.

[@maxvickrey4357]

The special presentations are both so good hope they keep making more

[@FreddyKurganNimmo]

Now I want another MCU Holiday Special, where Deadpool, She-Hulk, Rocket, Loki & Howard The Duck meet Santa Claus!

[@willjohnson8446]

8:56 That’s German actor, singer, and comedian, Flula Borg. He’s probably best known for his work in Pitch Perfect 2, as the co-lead of the German a capella group. He also worked with James Gunn on Suicide Squad 2, where he played the German superhero, Javelin. Frankly, some of his funniest stuff has been him as a guest on Conan O’Brien’s tv show. He took Conan to Germany one trip and served as his insane tour guide.

[@regent2125]

This set between the events of Thor: Love and Thunder and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

[@maximillianosaben]

Every single Guardians Of The Galaxy feature has brought me to tears, and that most definitely includes Vol. 3...

I'm probably alone in this, but I liked this much more than part 3. Great special!

I liked it but 3 was great. Honestly I love 2 more the most people. I think a lot people would call 2 the weak link but u really loved that film. First MCU movie that got a tear out of me

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

@@Midv1322The first time I watched GotG 2, I liked it, though I felt the first was better. After watching it a couple more times, I changed my mind & preferred the 2nd movie to the first.

[@infamousrob08]

That band that was in the make-up were the musicians of the band that wrote the song that Kevin sings. The Old 97 is their name and the song is Here It Is Christmas Time. Beautiful song. Sadly Kevin Bacon was teased in the trailers and some of the behind the scenes. Mantis in the books is more earth based. James making her an alien just made more sense for someone who is considered the celestial Madonna and just gelled fantastically with Drax onscreen. This special came about due to a chat James Gunn and Kevin Fiege had about the Star Wars Holiday Special and James wrote it in about 2 weeks. See y'all in Ant-man 3. Got some facts to drop there.

[@snowdenwyatt6276]

Mantis has one of the weirdest character arcs in the comics. She started off as a Vietnamese martial artist (hence the Asian actress) and then became something known as "The Celestial Madonna". Along the way she married the ghost of a mercenary sometime hero/sometime villain named Jack Duquesne AKA The Swordsman. And yes, that's the character that Jack in the Hawkeye TV show was based on...

[@pleutron]

so fun. i know you two will love GOTG 3. not my thing, but everyone seems to love it

[@agresticumbra]

You're thinking of Gemma Chan, who was in Sherlock. She's in a Marvels film, Eternals.

[@FBodStudios]

The one with the teapot in Sherlock (Gemma Chan) was in Captain Marvel and Eternals.

[@Berto2K]

When Ego is showing Peter all the women he tried mating with in his display pod thing at his home, towards the back you can see him with someone who looks like Mantis. The toy that Yondo received, matches the same one that he has on his ship in the movies. This Groot having the different build means that this is the son of the other. Its not just a regrowth or rebirth of the other.

[@jestbone89]

Have you guys watched James Gunn's The Suicide Squad (2021)? The cameos and easter eggs appearing here in GotG special are main characters in the Squad movie.

[@BHSilver]

You know... Sometimes when a movie company puts credits for actors in the start of the film........ COMPLETELY RUIN IT FOR THE REST OF THE FILM. This Christmas Special WOULD have been great if they DID NOT put in the "Oh, by the way, we know this is supposed to be 100% a secret until the person shows up in their scene, but we're going to tell you who is in this special before you have a chance to watch it. We don't actually care that you want to be surprised, ha.". I've walked out of a movie theater and requested full refunds (Even on the candy/drinks) because the movie studio thought it'd be cute and spoil it for everyone who was in the movie, without the audience finding out themselves by watching the movie.

They are literally starting that, but this is literally still part of the release order that they're finishing up with first. They are literally watching What If S2 on Patreon, then just Echo, and then it's Daredevil next. It makes no sense to just randomly pause that for A YEAR AND A HALF, just for people that can't wait and then leave the people that wanted the other MCU projects reacted to first wait for that amount of time instead. Patience please.
