The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special

[Daehawk]

What the fug.......Im laughing my ass off.

[Grifman]

Who greenlit this? This is Star Wars Christmas Special levels of bad.

[Daehawk]

Nah its gonna be great.

[El Guapo]

Who greenlit this? This is Star Wars Christmas Special levels of bad.

I believe that you have stumbled upon the joke.

[JCC]

I was indifferent to this but the trailer has me excited for it now!

[hepcat]

It looks fun. Count me in.

[TheMix]

It looks fun. Count me in.

[Smoove_B]

The idea of Kevin Bacon being chased by Drax is exactly what I need.

[EvilHomer3k]

Nothing with Drax can be anywhere near as bad as the SWCS.

It was actually the Star Wars HOLIDAY Special. It was for Life Day. You know, that holiday they made up so that they could appeal to non Christians as well and thus make a butt ton of more money by making a completely nonsensical special that featured a really creepy Harvey Korman segment that still haunts me to this day....

Life Day seems like a pretty ominous holiday anyway. Does that make the other 364 Death Days?

[hepcat]

Where I work?

Yes.

[Daehawk]

I was a kid so that show was fine when it came out..not great but fine. More Star Wars then was cool. But even as a kid I couldn't understand why Maude was in as a bartender and singing.

[hepcat]

Because Bea Arthur can do anything, buddy.

...with the sad exception of living.

[Pyperkub]

November 25th, because people who post trailers can't be bothered with actual information

[hepcat]

I mean...it's in the trailer.

[Brian]

Premiered today.

Watched it and enjoyed it. Really only a couple of laugh out loud moments but it was pretty cute and about what you would expect for a show of this nature.

Groot...well, they didn't spend much of the budget on Groot this time around. He looked terrible. Most of the time it looks like it was just a guy in a rubber suit which I'm sure was actually the case as only a few shots seemed to incorporate any kind of CGI.

Spoiler:

Maybe kind of a bigish reveal regarding Peter and Mantis' relationship as well.

[Daehawk]

I guess theres no way to watch this without Disney+? Guess Ill have to get a month of it next month just for this.

[Kurth]

Totally watching this. It seems absurd. Perfect for a Christmas Special!

[Smoove_B]

The first two episodes of Andor aired on ABC earlier this week. It wouldn't surprise me if this ends up airing on ABC next month, closer to Xmas.

[Daehawk]

I dont get cable and no air tv

[Smoove_B]

Not having any way to watch it is certainly going to make it difficult to watch it, yes.

I'm out of my depth here; I don't know what else to suggest, sorry.

[Daveman]

I thought it was cute and enjoyed it, but that's about it. I only really laughed at:

Spoiler:

The guy dressed up as a GoBot and Drax's reaction. Who dresses up as GoBots?

[msteelers]

My wife and I really enjoyed it. She laughed throughout the show, and the original Christmas songs have been stuck in my head all day.

[JCC]

I thought it was a lot of fun! Lovely.

[Daehawk]

Loved Kevin Bacon's song. He sings great. Im jealous.

Something nags me about the Guardians every now and then and just now its led to a 2nd question. So lets see.

1. Where are the humans from if not Earth? No oen seems to visit Earth except the guardians..what 3 times? And the Ravagers once. So where are all the humans from?

2. And that brought me to 2.....why does no one visit Earth? The guardians and Ravagers have been and know of it...so shouldn't everyone know of Earth? Why does no one go?

[JCC]

There are many numerous examples in the MCU of aliens visiting Earth. I am sure plenty come who aren't hellbound on invading Earth or causing a commotion. But of course, there is little point in allocating time in movies and TV on them if they aren't relevant to the plot.

That’s all explained in the Holiday Special.
