Be forewarned as some mild spoilers are ahead for The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. If you’ve already gotten a chance to watch the festive, yuletide Special Presentation from Marvel Studios, you’ll notice that the special had a four-and-a-half-year payoff to a joke that goes all the way back to 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War. The Guardians’ Rocket finally got Bucky’s bionic arm. Of course, this led to fans wondering about how this happened on social media, and writer and director James Gunn was nice enough to provide the answer.
