- The Eclector shows up in a flashback scene, placing the scene before the second Guardians film. (0:52)
- We see Peter as a young boy celebrating Christmas with Kraglin. (0:58) I place this around 1990/1991.
- “Well, it’s a celebration we have once a year on earth.” (1:13)
- “And that’s how Yondu ruined Christmas forever.” (2:18)
- “Anyways, I just saw on the multi-calendar that right now on earth it’s almost Christmastime.” (2:35)
- “Ever since buying Knowhere from the Collector, we don’t have time for trivialities like Christmas.” (2:45) The Guardians of the Galaxy now have ownership of Knowhere, which apparently occurred sometime after Thor: Love and Thunder. “This place needs a lot of fixing up before it’s livable.” This was a recent purchase.
- First good look at Groot, now in young adulthood, colloquially known as YA Groot, or Swole Groot. (5:08) Groot is wholly CGI, and not practical.
- “That you’re Quill’s sister?” (8:00)
- “He’s so sad about Gamora being gone.” (8:23)
- “Over the years, Quill has talked about one person more than any other.” (8:48)
- The trees appear to be bare of leaves. (9:06)
- First look at their new ship, the Bowie. (9:22, 9:25)
- Billboards around Hollywood Boulevard (like the Acura Type-S one) are anachronistic to a post-Blip world, but signify a filming date of around early-2022.

- The scene in Hollywood appears to be filmed in April or May 2022. A billboard reads “win Thursdays in May.” (10:37)
- Madame Tussauds is currently putting on a show called ‘Marvel Universe 4D,’ which is an IRL exhibit. (10:37)
- “STEEEEVE” (10:58)
- “Go-Bots killed his cousin.” (11:12)
- Another poster for a movie called ‘Kingo’s Xristmas.’ (12:08, 13:51)
- “Peter was a child when he left earth.” (23:41)
- Peter walks out and the Christmas lights turn on. (25:37)
- More YA Groot. (27:32, 29:06, 29:23, 29:29, 29:33, 32:00, 32:30, 34:26, 35:29, 41:36)
- “What better gift for the guy who has everything than an actual human living person.” (28:17) Because Peter now owns Knowhere, it appears he’s incredibly well off. He has everything, it seems, except Gamora.
- “Oh-ho, Groot’s just a kid.” (30:05)
- “That is a device for controlling a flying arrow, but I ain’t quite got the hang of it yet.” (30:12)
- “And once, Pete saved the whole Galaxy with dancing, for real.” (30:37)

- “Wait, so does that make you my sister?” (37:37)
- “Groot ruined Christmas, again.” (41:43) “Now we gotta have another special.”
