Some fun facts about this vid:

There was a time when I considered making this purely a Tony vid. Probably would have worked too, but I decided to let the others share in the fun.
I also briefly considered adding Deadpool, but decided that it would have been too on the nose. For example, I could have easily used that Celine Dion music video for the high heels line - but using Tony is obviously better, because it reframes the source instead of repeating the same gag. It's hard to make comedy out of comedy - actually now that I'm writing this, I feel like this could be an idea for a panel?
This is definitely one of those vids I gave up on rather than finished. I started working on it beginning of April and stopped just a week before the FanWorks deadline. There was still some stuff I wasn't quite satisfied with, but at the same time I was getting fed up and wanted to move on to other projects, so I followed the sage advice of my girlfriend who told me to abandon it instead of trying to make it perfect. And with a little distance from it now I can even sort of agree that it's good enough.
My favorite sequence is actually the Thanos snap, which is probably only funny to me. I like to call that part "Thanos says it's closing time"
