A fun bit of Streaming to celebrate the Holidays is just what we need.
Since I don't want to pay to watch *another* Christmas Story Sequel, I chose...
Following the events of the last several Films, things aren't great in Outer Space for most people.
Specifically, they aren't great for Starlord, who gained and lost a Father and lost Gamora.
Their plan- get Kevin Bacon, who Starlord (who was a teen during Bacon's peak popularity) idolized around them for years.
Time to blend in.
Things go awry- as you'd guess- but they manage to bring Christmas to Knowhere for the first time.
Look at that face.
Speaking of faces, that one.
What went wrong?
Can it be fixed?

A fun, heartfelt adventure. For fans of the Marvel Characters, you get a nice little sampler of what is to come with the third and final (at least for Gunn) Film in the Series. For fans of Holiday Specials, you get everything you'd expect as well.
The Drax/Mantis pair really shines here. Gunn says that this is Mantis' proper debut and I can see that. She was a good part of the second Film, but did have to get squeezed in between alot of content. Drax continues his funny side, but also isn't quite as much self-parody as he was in GotG 2.
One curious little change is that Groot seems to be presented by a man in a suit, as opposed to being fully CGI. I'm honestly not opposed to it, but don't expect that necessarily to carry over to the 3rd Film.
The Story is fun and light for the most part, but does have nice emotional moments to set things up. It gets nice and happy without getting too sappy. If you're a Guardians fan, you should see it regardless of how it 'sets up Volume 3.'
While you're at it, go tell your friends.
As an unabashed Marvel Fan, I had a blast with this one. Even if you're not a fan, it is a fun, heartfelt tale with Christmas spirit.
