Some behind the scenes commentary on this vid:

For Don't Threaten Me with a Good Time, I rewatched all the MCU movies in order. While doing that I realized that Nick Fury is actually my favorite MCU character (though he might have to share that spot with Tony - I have a hard time picking absolute faves). I mean I'll watch Iron Man 2 or Age of Ultron just for him. I'll even admit when the Captain Marvel trailer first dropped, my first reaction was "OMG, we're finally getting some Nick Fury backstory!"
So the idea for a Fury vid had been rattling around in my head for a while, but it took some time to find a song, and then it also took a very long time to finish Don't Threaten Me
So when I finally started working on this vid, it was Wednesday night before the FanWorks deadline on Sunday, July 7th. I thought there was no chance in hell I could make it. I ended up being very wrong about that, because I had mostly finished the vid with a full timeline by Friday night. I'm pretty sure it's the fastest I've ever finished a full song vid, and honestly I still have no idea how I even did it. Everything just kind of fell into place and it was magical.
Far From Home came out on the 4th of July here and I saw it right away, worried that I would want to postpone the vid to be able to use it. [Spoilers: Of course then it turned out it wasn't actually him in that movie, so I felt fine about excluding it - except I had already used the one scene from the trailer. I decided to keep it, since the line "You'll see me again" is still somewhat true even if it's not really him. Also because it's funny.]
The range of emotions Sam Jackson can express with just one eye is amazing to me and I honestly feel like he doesn't get enough credit as an actor.
