    If DC Studios was to produce a TV Christmas Special starring one or more of our DC characters (in the tradition of the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special), who would you want it to be?

    Okay, I take back everything I said about elementary school Christmas concerts: a class just did the Old 97s “I Don’t Know What Christmas Is” from the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, complete with lyrics about flamethrowers and dung. God bless us every one.

    I forgot that, actually, this is my voice acting debut as I'm one of the voices in a group of Sontarans shouting "Sontar, ha!" Also, this means I now have a Kevin Bacon number of 2: I was in this with Karen Gillan, who was in The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special with Kevin Bacon.

    Whilst we’re playing the Doctor Who connection game, Kevin Bacon has a Who Number of 2, as he is in the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special with Karen Gillan. I’m sure he has more connections, just the first that came to mind!

    I feel like The Guardians Of The Galaxy Holiday Special doesn't get the credit it deserves. It's a surprisingly warm tale of a misunderstanding attempt by Drax and Mantis to bring Christmas joy (by force) to a miserable Quill and even contains two new Christmas songs that are actually very good !

    Taking a breather would have been fine if it felt like they were building up to something, but instead it felt like they lost all direction. 😟 The first batch of movies built to the Avengers, the next batch built to Thanos. Even if you assume post Endgame was "The Multiverse" the number of properties that touched on it were minimal. Phase 4 movies: Black Widow - No Multiverse Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings - No Multiverse Eternals - No Multiverse Spider-Man: No Way Home…
