The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special was a cheery, albeit somewhat ridiculous, seasonal frolic with its plethora of Christmas songs, a Mantis and Drax double act, and the actual Kevin Bacon.
However, it fell short of expectations. Some people were offended by one of the gags in the Marvel show because it made fun of another well-known superhero. Spoiler alert: Rocket Racoon gets a Christmas present from Nebula at the end of the Disney Plus program. Since Bucky Barnes, alias The Winter Soldiervibranium,’s arm in 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War, he has always yearned for it.
He did “get that arm” after all. How? James Gunn, the Guardians film’s director, took to Twitter to respond to the baffling query. In response to a now-deleted tweet from another user, Gunn said, “I’m very sorry, but it already occurred.” “Bucky reminds Nebula of damp crepe paper. However, she was so overwhelmingly in the Christmas spirit that she couldn’t stop ripping off the arm! PS: I was not compelled to incorporate space alien cyborgs.”
You now have it. Just for Christmas, Nebula took Bucky’s arm by force. Gunn said that Knowhere, the planet where a portion of the episode takes place, was bought by the Guardians of the Galaxy. “The Guardians are mercenaries who occasionally play the role of heroes and earn a respectable living. So they purchased it from the Collector during Thanos’ raid on Knowhere. It was a burnt-out husk that has been being rebuilt “Gunn wrote.
The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is slated to hit theatres on May 5, 2023, but you can stream The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special on Disney Plus.
