Triggers
- animals (besides dog/cat/horse) dying: We see a dead rodent-like creature, but we don't see it die.
- dead animals: Some kind of dead alien rodent, it's pretty realistic and gross, but briefly seen.
- stalking: Kevin Bacon is briefly pursued, but it's too obvious to be much like stalking.
- alcohol abuse: There's a scene with excessive drinking at a bar. It's not clear what effect it has on aliens (are they even intoxicated?), but some of the humans in that scene are definitely drinking too much.
- restraints: Kevin Bacon is briefly trapped in a box.
- choking: Mentioned by a character trapped in a package but not visible or audible.
- kidnapping: The whole plot revolves around kidnapping a person as a "present" for another person. This is eventually acknowledged to be a terrible thing to do, but it's still very obviously a kidnapping.
- claustrophobic scenes: We don't get a POV shot when the character is in a box. So, if you imagine that character's point of view it could feel claustrophobic, but the scene itself is not at all.
- flashing lights or images: There's a warning for flashing lights on Disney+.
- fourth wall: A post-credit scene references this being a holiday special.
- car crashes
- people getting hit by cars: The car is hit by Drax, technically.
- gun violence: Police open fire with conventional handguns on invulnerable characters.
- blood or gore: A dead alien rodent is a bit gross and there's some fluids showing,, but that's it.
