This was definitely my favorite episode of the season. Not only because it's more than just taking an MCU movie and flipping the characters around, but because it felt like a Howard the Duck comic throughout.

[@Grass12]

Honestly, I wasn't looking forward to this episode that much but... it somehow has become one of my favorites!? It's so fun and very guardians and ragnarok vibes and i love it so MUCH. This was a lovely surprise

[@Marvelousgamer7697]

I'm a simple man. I see Howard the Duck in anything and I'm just happy Marvel continues to acknowledge his existence. Plus, this episode was surprisingly entertaining, not going to lie. When I first heard about this one I wasn't expecting to like it at all, but I was pleasantly surprised with the absolute absurdity of this out of nowhere concept. A wacky episode of Television to celebrate Christmas isn't something I'm personally going to complain about it but I would completely understand if this episode doesn't particularly click with a lot of people. As for me I just had a lot of fun with it so I'm happy.

Having the offspring of Darcy and Howard be a version of Natasha Lyone(sp) is spot on. This episode was a perfect illustration of what made the comic such a fan favorite. Juxtaposition of real world vs a cartoon real world with all the same day to day struggles that would be a part of everyone's life. Zeus put it best imo.

And when I thought last night's episode was the Christmas episode (with Red Guardian as basically Santa, and all the nods to Die Hard), here comes the ACTUAL Christmas episode, with the literal birth of the Chosen one (with the coming of the king mages, and all). That was so funny to see the MCU's Nativity ! And so many killer jokes (Voromir tourism trip most enjoyable in couples, Dormammu doesn't come to bargain, Fury shouting "Freeze, nobody moves" to frost giants...)

[@missionman1914]

This baby is has the "Star Brand" which is an Omega level power entity in the Marvel Comics. This is a BIG deal for the MCU to introduce this power. Star Brand is the symbol itself, referred to as a glyph. When an individual is imbued with this power, they become the Starbrand. The character and concept are from a largely forgotten era of Marvel comics history when Marvel wanted to ground its stories in real life. No magic, no mythology.
