6/27/2023 0 Comments Post officetime![]() So imagine my surprise during the end credits crawl when a scrapbook/collage image of Kevin Bacon appears alongside the rest of the cast, my internal monologue screams "Why is Kevin Bacon's face there though?", and my outer monologue quickly follows. To cheer him up, Drax and Mantis kidnap and gift "legendary hero" Bacon to Quill as part of the Holiday Special's festive themed story. ![]() Cue Quill moping about the joint at the start of the Holiday Special, then. Come Endgame's time traveling escapades, too, an alternate reality's version of Gamora is now alive and well in the MCU, but she's also younger than before and, most importantly, doesn't know who Star-Lord is. ![]() You may remember that Gamora died in Infinity War and, understandably, Peter was not happy about it. Kevin Bacon! You know, everyone's favorite Footloose star and one of Quill's beloved Earth-based heroes. Everyone's favorite cosmic supergroup has a new swanky ride called The Bowie, Groot looks totally buff (although that can be explained away owing to the passage of time, I'll grant you), and there's a new character called Cosmo the Dog (voiced by Bodies Bodies Bodies' Maria Bakalova), a cosmonaut who speaks English through a widget in her suit and who has mad telekinesis abilities. What did we (read: I) miss in the Guardians' small-screen special? Quite a bit, actually. When did Groot start working out so much though? (Image credit: Marvel) Look, I know Disney's primary streamer is home to some of the best Disney Plus shows around (hello, The Mandalorian Season 3, you and your forefathers are going to be crucial to my enjoyment of Star Wars: Ahsoka, aren't you?) and that Doctor Strange's particular outcrop in the Multiverse is all over this kind of juxtaposition – WandaVision, I'm looking at you. However, this is the first time my lack of Disney at home has felt like a gut punch, and here's why. one of the world's best streaming services. That's not a good feeling for people like me, aka fans who decided that, given the current cost of living crisis (and given that, as an audio specialist, I am already shelling out for all of the best music streaming services), something had to go. And, if you haven't seen it, there are a few MCU debutants who'll knock you sideways, especially at the very end of the movie. So, what's the problem? Take a trip down memory lane with me, reader, and you'll remember there was a 44-minute Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special that arrived on Disney Plus in November 2022. Cosmo looks almost as confused as non Disney Plus subscribers watching GotG 3 on the big screen… (Image credit: Marvel )
