It's quite rare for me to cry at movies and TV, but when Peter said to Mantis that she was the greatest Christmas gift ever, I got very close to tearing up.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

Considering she wanted something loving or caring from Drax in GOTG2 (he did in his own way) to have that pure joy from Peter is so frickin wholesome.

[@gilfista5178]

Amen sister

If gotg vol 3 ends heartwrenching like endgame, it's gonna be a little hard rewatching this

"You can't outrun me Bacon!" 🤣 Those little, throw away lines that just land perfectly.

Mantis OWNED this movie. She really blew me away and was just plain ADORABLE! Love this!

[@3Kings_Industries]

I loved learning the origin of Yondu's figurine collection. Truly heart warming.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

It didn’t even occur to me that it was the first figurine that Yondu had! I love that started with Quill!

[@rickwoodham4570]

It also explains why Yondu just smiled in the 1st movie when Peter switched the orb with the troll doll

[@funnylilgalreacts]

@@rickwoodham4570 I’m getting emotional about this

[@MikeWood]

Finally having Pom Klementieff in a lead role in the MCU was fun. And that sister angle. That was a nice touch and giving some family back to Peter. I really think the closing credits music should have been Footloose. :)

[@funnylilgalreacts]

I’m so bummed, they didn’t have footloose at the end! It would’ve been perfect!

[@philcorrigan5641]

I like the fact that Mantis is Quill’s sister too, but something I’ve often wondered about is that Quill would still have relatives on Earth (his mother’s family, who we saw at her bedside at the start of the first movie) that he doesn’t appear to care too much about

[@nucleardonkeyxxx]

@@philcorrigan5641 as someone who was estranged from my father's side of my family at 9 years old it actually makes sense for Peter to not care as much about his Earth family. He was taken from them before he could make that strong connection with them like he did Yandu and the rest of the Guardians.

[@frozenharold]

The band is the Old 97's. They are James Gunn's favorite band. (And one of mine.) He asked lead singer Rhett Miller to help him write the song, and while they were doing it, he just decided the heck with it, and asked them to be the actual band.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

James Gunn does that for all his friends! He includes them in everything and I love that about him!

[@ianwills2738]

I loved it, Drax and Mantis together were brilliant, Kevin Bacon fully committing to it and the band but my favorite line in the whole thing was Nebula :- “ you can’t outrun me Bacon”. I’m still chuckling about that now

[@funnylilgalreacts]

😂😂 same, but also love that Quill had to tell her not to kill him

[@taz-man]

I thought was funny was when she said "not all actors are pieces of sh!t"

[@adamcarlson2192]

All of the Guardians are Peter's family, of course... but only Mantis is ACTUALLY his sister. Such a heart warming moment.

[@AidantheLegend]

I wish we got a scene with Bucky waking up and wondering where his arm is lol

[@funnylilgalreacts]

ME TOO!

[@Summon256]

Would be a better post credit scene, than the one we ended up getting honestly...

[@nutluck]

Mantis was my favorite part because I feel they really added to her character, making her a lot more interesting than she was.

[@mjkjelland13]

I Love that they included "Christmas Wrapping" by the Waitresses into the soundtrack, a great underrated 80's band.

[@scottstevens7639]

Nebula is totally capable of stealing Bucky’s arm. Plus, it’s not like Bucky’s never lost it before…

[@captainjefferies9047]

Yeah. It's shocking how many people don't realize that Nebula completely outclasses Bucky.

[@salvadormendoza8535]

Gunn just made it canon on twitter, so in the next season of Falcon and Winter Soldier he'll need another arm

[@brauliob]

In the Falcon and the Winter Soldier Disney+ show it is shown that the Dora Milaje could deactivate Bucky's arm and it would fall off.

[@platinum_ink]

💀💀

[@brian6101]

The blasters yondu gave Peter are the blasters he uses throughout the movies/primary weapon and the gift Peter gives yondu is the first in his little toy collection he has on his ship dashboard seen in past movies

"I'm sorry! His cousin was killed by Go-Bots!" I died.

Although this does seem to confirm Transformers exist in the MCU! Which works since Marvel did the Transformers comics. I wonder when we're getting an MCU/Michael Bay crossover? 😂

[@carlossoto222]

You said you didn't expect a musical number. Since it's James Gunn, I was surprised he hit us that quick with it lol. And personally, I think that song could quickly become a Christmas classic! 😁🎄

[@funnylilgalreacts]

It definitely had a catchy chorus!

[@jimcollier4114]

That's the greatness of the Old 97's

[@blackpaw29]

@@funnylilgalreacts My wife is not a big Marvel fan but she snort laughed at the song :)

[@RandomPau]

If "Grandma got run over by a Reindeer" became a Christmas favorite, ( I hear it every year!) Then "I don't know what Christmas Is" can also be a favorite! Imo.

[@RhinoTheJuiceMan]

I think both the opening song and the closing song could easily turn into Christmas classics. We really enjoyed those at my home and we have already added them to the playlist for this years holiday season! I do hope they do a special each year with different characters 😊

[@futuramayeah]

i liked how Mantis helped bring the spirit of Christmas to Peter

[@HMcQ7891]

I love that this was so Mantis-centric. Quickly becoming a fave character - hilarious.

[@erod19969]

Remember in Avengers: End Game. Rocket asked Bucky "How much for the arm". I can't believe they actually paid that off.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

I know! BUT HOW? Nebula had to do something major to get that arm!

[@erod19969]

Correction: it was Avengers: Infinity war.

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

"Oh I'll get that arm." The callback we never thought we'd get.

@@funnylilgalreacts Well she is a cyborg herself, and she does her own maintenance. Also, she might not be super smart in Guardians land but on Earth she would be one of the most brilliant minds around. Her outsmarting Bucky and taking his arm doesn't seam that unlikely to me.

[@adamgrunther1367]

I love literally any project that James Gunn does now. This special was so heartwarming and just a super fun experience all around. Also, Cosmo has easily become the most adorable and wholesome MCU character to me.

[@DarkPaladin24]

While I didn't cry at this, it did bring a big smile on my face when everyone exchanged gifts and when Mantis told Peter they're related. And Yondu is too blue to be Grinch after all. Such a great Christmas tale.

[@vodengc520]

I swear you hit nearly all my favorite moments in this reaction, lol. Michael Rooker coming back as Yondu, Drax getting tickled by the bullets, Groot's gift for Kraglin (easily the best of the set), Mantis tackling "Steve", Bucky's arm (I totally expected a gun too, didn't expect THAT "gun")... The constant self-awareness about actors being pieces of shit, lol... The only thing I can remember that wasn't in your cut was Quill calling Groot out when he tried to say kidnapping Bacon was a bad idea. "I literally just saw you wheel him out in front of everybody!" So good, rofl.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

I had to make sacrifices 😂 it’s in the full length cut I promise

[@fernandodelgado4329]

While watching the Holiday special, I really did enjoyed Peter Quill aka Star Lord's moment with his sister which is Mantis because it was so emotional and it gives me the feeling that I'm not alone because I am a only child who has more friends that I never got But, Damn,This Christmas special hit me hard. Fantastic reaction to this amazing 10/10 Holiday Special with the Guardians Angela.

[@mermaidmelodies1492]

6:45 - I just noticed a VERY subtle Easter Egg at this scene while Drax is laughing, and Nebula looks at Him. Pictured in the background around Her face, the Blue with vertical lines reminds me of the TARDIS which was Her (Karen Gillan's) first foray into Space with Doctor Who. So Cool!

[@JoelMiller431]

Apparently there was deleted scene in Guardians Vol. 2 during Yondu’s funeral where Mantis did tell Drax about being related to Quill through their father, Ego. Now they made it canon coming off from this Christmas special

[@funnylilgalreacts]

I think it meant so much more in this!! I'm glad it was cut.

[@mickeymouse7726]

In the original Dan Abnett Andy lanning Guardians of the Galaxy comics the Guardians home base is knowhere so nice to see that is finally happening with the MCU versions of the Guardians team

[@temper44]

I just realized what Gunn does. He takes side characters and smaller villains and brings their real humanity and silliness. Sort of like how Tarantino takes mid level crooks and makes them his focus in every movie, character that would barely get a speaking scene in a regular movie.

[@elza3256]

Today I stumbled upon your reactions and let a tear go with you, you are a very sincere person and emotional like me, and the film turned out to be sincere, especially the moment when Kevin is told that Pete saved the whole galaxy by dancing just like you!!! thanks for your response, merry christmas everyone🌲🌲🍾🍾

[@VincentAlfonso]

This was the best Marvel projects that takes place around Christmas (along with Hawkeye series)!! Perfect way to end Phase 4!! Rocket finally got Bucky’s arm!! Peter and Mantis being siblings was surprising (hoping both of them don’t get killed off in their final appearance)!!

[@ColinPoole]

I already know how this reaction is gonna go so thumbs up let's watch the show!

[@jessetorres8738]

19:10. This is an example of The Droste Effect, which is an image within an image repeatedly, or in this case he's holding a gift of himself holding a gift of himself repeatedly.

[@soylavozenoff]

The people surprises with Mantis fighting skills bug in the comics she Is one of the most skilled fighters of the guardians and we have to remember she always lived with ego but now she traveled for years protecting the Galaxy with the guardians so now she had experience and surely a lot of lessons from everybody. What a nice special, love your reaction i cried when Peter says Mantis Is his best gift ❤️😭

The Spirit of Christmas is not just about giving and receiving gifts, it's about FAMILY and those we hold dear.

That was such a good christmas special. There were so many good bits in here, but the thing that really did it for me, was the scenes with Yondu, especially the last one... I shed a tear right alongside you. Btw. you look amazing in that sweater 👍🤩

[@queenannsrevenge100]

This is a riff on the old Star Wars Holiday Special, but about 10,000 times better. I will likely be watching this every Christmas from now on 👍 Also the joke about “Despicable Actors” killed me😂

[@SunlessNick]

Mantis has become unexpectedly badass! But her being Quill's sister is wonderful.

[@FulcanMal]

Knowhere was indeed wrecked by Thanos, which probably explains how they were able to buy it in the first place, why the Collector was willing to part with it, and why it is in need of so much repair. The "What If" series are all things that occurred in alternate realities of the multiverse.

[@TheOutcast05]

The opening song, Fairytale of New York by The Pogues, is a classic Christmas song.

[@paulanderson771]

It's a genuinely cute Christmas special! Definitely going to watch it again and again for the holidays.

[@Maastrichian]

I love this entire season, from October 1 to December 31. And this show... it's weird how it brought back vibes from Christmas shows that I grew up on, while at the same time bringing something totally new. hands down, the best MCU flick since... gosh, I don't know. I Christmas biased. So... the best ever! But honestly, I loved this. Put together so well, with such wonderful character development. And honestly, as a sci fi writer, I couldn't imagine anything more terrifying than Mantis screaming at me while Alien-crawling along the walls! Loved this show. Just loved it.

You after watching this show, writes letter, “Dear Santa, please send me Amos!” … thanks always for your great reactions, Happy holidays ❤

[@nyghtmoon]

This was a sweet, beautiful special. I really loved it was Mantis and Drax being central because I don't think they get enough love. I suspected Mantis was Peter's sister and was glad to be right. Cosmo is a great addition. We are well set up for the upcoming pain in Guardians 3. Mantis in the comics is the Celestial Madonna and a fierce fighter. Knowhere is a Celestial skull. It was owned by The Collector and the city inside was pretty much destroyed in Infinity War. That is what they are rebuilding. This will be a special to watch yearly.

[@JLRules]

Did anyone else notice Nebula immediately stand up for Rocket when he was called a raccoon?

werewolf by night was really good but this was super cool, perfect amount of comedy and necessary holiday moments...that scene with mantis, drax and kevin in the ship was hilarious trashing on actors, they played it perfectly

[@kennethstevenson4817]

Since you mentioned Howard, it would have been interesting to include him because he is from a parallel Earth.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

He is definitely not from Earth, but I would’ve loved more Howard.

[@MaxLadik]

At the end there you are talking about the movie American Pop by Ralph Bakshi. A character plays Night Moves in the penultimate scene. The animation in this struck me as a call back to Ralph Bakshi's style as well. He also did Lord of the Rings and Heavy Metal. But man, American Pop has been one of my favorite movies since 6th grade, and I've loved Bob Seger ever since as well.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

My mother was obsessed with Bob Seger growing up, so I know all of his music! I knew that animation looked so familiar!

[@Melancthon7332]

The style isn't Bakshi's - it's called "rotoscoping", drawing animation cels directly over filmed footage of actors. Bakshi used it heavily (too heavily, imo), to the point that he's often associated with the technique even though many, many animators have used it, especially during the seventies and eighties - for instance, you thought Bakshi made Heavy Metal, even though he was *not* one of the half a dozen different animators of that movie.

[@Anthonylokison]

I just watched this like 3 hours ago, and loved it. I also got teary eyed when Mantis told Peter her secret, so cool, so now they will share a special bond in any up coming movies or specials. I found this special comical and very heart warming and I can't wait to see what the next Disney plus special is going to be.

[@colorblindcamo7270]

So much warmth in the heart of this movie. Random thought I had while watching, it's kind of weird how he's called Drax The Destroyer but his primary super power seems to be that he is indestructible. P.s. Knowhere was overgrown in an alternate universe, where T'challa became Starlord. If I had to guess the Collector's entire operation was probably destroyed by Thanos but the skull itself was fine so they were able to buy it up "cheap" as a fixer-uper. I'd love it if it was Nebula and Rocket's idea since they weren't snapped and would have had 5 years to plan on acquiring it. Setting goals and working towards them. They bought a house.

I've heard that James GUNN is playing in that first song in this short film. I think he was playing bass, the alien with the glasses (of course) We loved this movie. Even my one picky 19 yr old twin son with autism loved this movie and he really only relates to Groot. LOL I am loving this Special Xmas movie but not looking forward to watching Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in May 2023 as I am hearing rumors that Rocket dies. And I am already upset about this. I will just have to wait and see it stream at home. I get quite loud and emotional. Like I did when Gamora first died. Luckily I saw that at home too.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

That would be devastating to lose Rocket, but depending on the story, I would almost feel like it would have been from saving someone in his family. Rocket has learned quite a bit about being selfless over the course of the last couple movies.

[@SilentBob731]

From starting off with one of the only Christmas songs I like (The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl), to giving us a Mantis & Drax road-trip caper, to making Kevin Bacon pretty much the hero that Peter thought he was (though in a different way), this was an out-of-the-park grand-slam by James Gunn. Anything that makes me laugh, cry, and cheer gets an A+ in my book, and this definitely qualifies.

[@spiderlantern82]

Your reaction to this is just what I needed after a long rough day at work. Looking very festive, by the way.

[@paulonius42]

The holiday special has become a holiday tradition for me now, so what's in your reaction is also a tradition.😊

[@JaeMinJung.]

Regarding Mantis' fighting skills, in the comics she is an excellent hand-to-hand combat fighter we just didn't get to see it happen in all the movies she was in, Endgame would've been a good opportunity to showcase it but alas it wasn't shown, but I'm happy it was addressed in this special even if it's just a simple easy part.

[@darthparadigmsilluminatedb1461]

Possibly one of the greatest Christmas Specials of all time (other than the Eleventh Doctor's Christmas Special with Michael Gambon... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED), and your reaction to all of it was priceless! Your editing in order to avoid music copyrights must've been a lot of work, and it's quite impressive on its own. 'Nuff said.

If "Grandma got run over by a Reindeer" became such a Christmas favorite, (I hear it every year!) then "I don't know what Christmas is..." can become one too. Imo. I hope.

[@chrisash]

I'm a gen x-er who retains a lot of cynicism around certain things (holiday entertainment in general, for one) but this one got to me. I was so happy this was a Mantis story. She's become one of my favorites and I didn't expect we'd even see her have this much screen time. She just cracks me up. I hope that the corporate changes at Disney don't mean the end of these Marvel specials, because so far they've been wonderful. They remind me of the feeling of being a kid in the late 70's/early 80's when there would be a Disney movie on broadcast tv on a Saturday night. Escape from Witch Mountain, for example. (Uh, this was before VCR's, so getting something exciting and different was a special treat.)

[@funnylilgalreacts]

I miss wholesome things like this that don’t necessarily revolve around Santa Claus or Christmas romance stories. It came at a perfect time!

[@chrisash]

@@funnylilgalreacts I agree. It had all the feel good without the saccharine stuff that is often a turn-off. I appreciate the lighter tone after recent mcu films, too. Hey, something nice happened for these heroes! I like that.

[@JaeMinJung.]

James Gunn is the bridge to both DC and Marvel fandoms liking and respecting each other. He might also be the key to making a Marvel x DC crossover event happen.

[@jkyle1018]

Mantis' mother is in Guardians 2 when they flash through the women Ego mated with to produce children. Mantis was spared because she has a mind control like power.

[@pettyofficerdan1807]

Hmm... I'd say my favorite part was Cosmo interacting with Rocket, Craglin and the others. But this was Pom's show all the way; she committed to Mantis like nothing I've ever seen, and that gave her scenes with both Drax and Peter an emotional heft they might otherwise have lacked.

[@JakeRaven1970]

Mantis was the standout for me. A wider range of emotions than we've seen before, well written and superb acting by Pom Klemintieff (There is no way I spelled her surname correctly. My apologies).

[@funnylilgalreacts]

Looks good to me 😉 We definitely got more than just a sweet Mantis or the scared Mantis. She stood up for herself several times against Drax which didn’t really happen a lot in the previous movies. Having her raise her voice, or even cheat the map lady out of money, was unlike the character that we had known. I’m glad that we got a broad-spectrum from her in this. Especially the emotions she had with Peter.

[@supremeio5930]

@@funnylilgalreacts My guess is before she spent most of her life just with Ego. Hanging out with the Guardians they have probably been a good or bad influence on her. Remember most of them are actually criminals.

[@captainjefferies9047]

It's cool to see a peripheral character like that get the lead in one of these specials. It's a cool way to feature a character than isn't really good enough to be a major player in a movie.

[@Lucieen]

I liked that they fleshed out Mantis in this. I also liked that we saw that she could be assertive and decent at fighting.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

Yes! I didn’t know anything about her character and I feel like this movie definitely helped really show who she is and what she can do. I love that we got more of a range from Pom

[@ericjette2435]

In the comics, she's more than decent at fighting, she's a martial arts expert. She's also a mystic and has mastered meditation. (And she's human: half Vietnamese and half German.) As I understand it, the writer and artist who created the character weren't very pleased with how she was depicted in the films, so to me this feels like an attempt to bring the movie character a bit more into alignment with the comics character.

[@ray24051]

I didn't know what to expect of this special but it really had its moments and it was very funny, Like Drax laughing while getting shot Lol.

[@Citizen88020120820]

Such a cool special

[@highlander31527]

28:25 I predict a sniggering Rocket complimenting Bucky on his new arm in a future movie. Nebula knew her way around Earth, she was based out of it for years between Infinity War and Endgame, and had all of the credentials needed to get close to Bucky. The instant I saw Nebula giving a gift to Rocket, I knew it was either Bucky's M249, or his arm.
