I enjoyed it over all because there were a lot of moments that made me laugh and made me feel holiday warm and fuzzies. But, it was a lil silly. Like I guess for a family christmas special it's hard to have any sort of dramatic serious tone to balance out the silly stuff. So Im not mad at it. The look and feel felt off to me because it was so high key lit, like a lifetime movie. When we are used to seeing the Guardians of the Galaxy lit with a much moodier, dark, outer space tone. It felt like a very intentional choice. Like they were definitely going for more of an Elf Christmas vibe than saving the galaxy from the Sovereign and all that. And while it took some adjusting to. I still think it worked for what they were trying to do. I dont think the christmas tone and singing would have worked if they were fighting off aliens attacking Nowhere. It was entertaining and it was fun, and I laughed out loud quite a bit. As far as Christmas specials go, it could have been a whole lot worse. I loved seeing the guardians all learn about christmas.

I thought Nebula was hilarious! "You can't outrun me Bacon!". The way she was dancing during the band. Just every time she was on screen, the way Karen Gillan Plays her just cracks me up. She makes Nebula so hilariously hardcore but awkward because she was raised to be a murder machine that is learning to be normal. It's just so funny in a subtle way. Whereas some of the other guardians are a lil more over the top. Still funny. But Karen GIllan's portrayal is just spot on funny to me.
