Af far as Marvel is concerned, the stuff on Disney+ shouldn't be better than the movies you go to pay to see in a theater.
746691, Funny and heartfelt.

Pom Klementieff and the character of Mantis is front and center here. She's the heart of this and Pom does so much Mantis that I hope she has a bigger role in Vol. 3. Really nice little Christmas special.

Once again the Disney+ stuff continues to be better than the movies.
746693, Not bad, but not "filmic"

Love Drax and Mantis's adventure.

But Quill doesn't really seem to be Quill here, he's way less goofy and less comic.

Also it does feel like it's a TV show - like it's shot on "Growing Pains" style 1980's video cameras a little. It's makes Quill and Nebula seem much more "ordinary" in their scenes.

I did enjoy the CBS Special Presentation like intro.

So thumbs up - but not perfect.
746694, I thought this was really good and I had some good laughs

Marvel is 2 for 2 with holiday specials.
746696, did they hint at *spoiler* being a part of the mcu?

746702, Yep, that was an interesting one

I liked them as a kid, and didn't realize they were a B-list knockoff until I was an adult

That could be a fun and interesting wrinkle in the MCU.
746704, Fun and funny. It makes me want to replay the GotG game.

746713, They really need to give Mantis and Drax more screen time.

Nebula was killing it with the few things they gave her to do too.
746714, Her lil strut dance was so ugly and hilarious.
