Finished the holiday special, overall an enjoyable time though I've never really been a big holiday special guy

Mantis was by far the best thing about it

also legitimately Flula Borg's cameo appearance makes me wonder if we'll just keep seeing him pop up in James Gunn things

also also funniest line in the movie for me was probably "there are tens of thousands of people on this planet"

Mantis danced at the bar in Suicide Squad, it's only fair.

Truth is though that Gunn really loves using actors he likes over and over again, whether they are small roles or big ones. I think he called Michael Rooker his good luck charm once, puts him in almost everything he does.

For GotG Holiday Special there was also lots of references to DC stuff and actors who were in DC projects. The quick Hollywood stars map thing I believe shows John Cena and Margot Robbie. Batman was also mentioned by Kevin Bacon

Holiday special was good, but I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow over who the hell greenlit it

Had to have been absurdly expensive for a 45 minute disney plus exclusive

yeah but now they get to sell billions of dollars of Christmas Groots or whatever.

and a Christmas thing is the kind of thing people rewatch yearly, which maybe gives it extra value compared to other MCU D+ stuff

I guess,

It still felt a little incestuous. There were a lot of things I could tell were jokes where I couldn't remember at all what it was a reference to

It was filmed with GotG3 so they saved a lot of money that way I'm sure. There's only a couple extra sets (some of which might've been built for GotG3), lots of it takes place on Earth, don't have to build anything too elaborate. Not too many special effects either, just the cgi characters and a few spaceship shots. It probably wasn't too expensive, at least in comparison to the movies.

Also it keeps MCU fans subscribed to D+ for an extra month. The last thing released was Werewolf by Night in October, Wakanda Forever should pop up sometime in January, that's a big gap where some people might decide to cancel for a few months. This will keep them subscribed.

So between the GoTG3 trailer and the Ant-Man legacy trailer I really feel like we're in for a depressing start to phase 5. The problem is that they've yet to add any really great new pieces (aside from Kate Bishop) to replace all the pieces they're (maybe) taking off the table.

I am 100% on board with the idea of Scott Lang dying and Young Avengers being about trying to revive him.

If they're still going to do Young Avengers because holy shit why is this not announced and being delivered already while they're actually young still?

It's only now starting to click with me that people who complain about identity politics "infecting" franchises actually genuinely oppose said politics as opposed to being merely concerned about the franchises in question getting carried away with them. I feel dumb.

i would not call Yelena "boring" but I am not a huge fan of her character. I guess she could be worse? she's too "MCU joke-y" for me but that's a complaint about basically every character now

I wish I could make a stronger argument as to why I think she's boring, but I dunno. I just don't think she's all that interesting. I hated Black Widow as a film, so I'm sure that's a large part of it. I really liked Hawkeye though, and sure, Yelena's a big part of that. But I also think her whole arc is kind of already wrapped up.

i am personally hoping that is not the final T-Bolts team and that they will add members as the movie goes on

absolutely insane that Abomination didn't make the cut but if we get Red Hulk (played by Harrison Ford??) I guess it's fine

I'm not going to rant again about this Thunderbolts team and how chicken shit that they are not to go with something close to the actual concept of it and make it something new and interesting, but I do doubt that there is anyone they can add to this team that will make me excited for this film, especially a watered down Abomination.

I mean, this objectively false. We could have been stuck with someone from Ms. Marvel or something. IT CAN ALWAYS BE WORSE, BISCUIT!
