The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special successfully revived the Christmas spirit. Fans saw many changes in the world of the Guardians, but one in particular surprised them greatly.Bucky and Rocket Raccoon temporarily teamed up in Avengers: Infinity War against Thanos' forces. When Rocket asked how much his metallic arm costs, the Winter Soldier shrugged it off. That's when Rocket promises he will get the arm somehow.Rocket getting Bucky's arm as a gift in Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special (Image via Marvel)That was three years ago, and it appears that Rocket moved on and forgot about the arm. However, Nebula just gifted him Bucky's arm, making him emotional. Rocket revealed that he still wanted the Winter Soldier's arm all this time.While there were all sorts of theories about how Nebula acquired Bucky's arm, The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special director James Gunn explained what happened off-screen.The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special: Nebula got Bucky's arm because &quot;she was feeling Christmassy&quot;In a recent tweet, Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special director James Gunn revealed that Nebula tore Bucky's arm off because &quot;she was feeling so Christmasy.&quot;James Gunn@JamesGunn@scarletbat_ @MarkHamill @FelloWyatt She took a trip to earth and tore it off his body because she was feeling so Christmasy.1799183@scarletbat_ @MarkHamill @FelloWyatt She took a trip to earth and tore it off his body because she was feeling so Christmasy.It's very hard to process that Nebula went to the Winter Soldier, entered into a combat session with him, and simply pulled the arm off him. Many fans protested Gunn's explanation, with some even saying that this is just a forceful inclusion of a narrative just because it sounds fun.ً@K1ddo7_@JamesGunn @scarletbat_ @MarkHamill @FelloWyatt Seriously, stop nerfing Bucky and start giving him some respect.1@JamesGunn @scarletbat_ @MarkHamill @FelloWyatt Seriously, stop nerfing Bucky and start giving him some respect.piepeloe@piepeloe@JamesGunn Is that really the explanation, that she tore it off? That's kind of disappointing. Tearing an amputee's prosthetic off as a present isn't very funny. It sort of ruined the warm fuzzies of the rest of the special tbh. I hope @MarvelStudios retcons it, no offense.324@JamesGunn Is that really the explanation, that she tore it off? That's kind of disappointing.
