The Avengers React To The ‘Justice League’ Trailer In Mash-Up Video
The newJustice Leaguetrailer declares itself to be the coming of the age of heroes, but there’s another group of superheroes who aren’t too happy to see the DC comics legends team-up on the big screen.
At least, that’s what this fan video imagines, in a mash-up of theJustice Leaguetrailer andAvengers: Age of Ultronfootage. See the video below.
Fans love pitting superheroes against superheroes. Before theJustice Leagueeven offered glimpses of our soon-to-be superhero team,there were fan trailersimagining what the biggest stand-off in superhero cinematic history would be, piecing together clips from MCU movies with slapdash footage fromBatman v. Supermanand the DC comic book TV shows.
But now that thetrailer for the much-anticipatedJustice Leaguefinally dropped this weekend, fans have all the fodder they need for a good old-fashioned YouTube mash-up. And sure enough, they were quick to step up to the challenge.
Using footage fromAvengers: Age of Ultron,Ant-ManandCaptain America: Civil War, YouTuberDrMachakilcreated the closest thing we’ll have (until the next fan video) of the Avengers meeting the Justice League in the movies.
The Avengers watch in shock as theJustice Leaguetrailer plays on Tony Stark’s flatscreen in Stark Tower, reacting with equal parts dismay and ridicule. The video even squeezes in a little eye roll from Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) after Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) declares that his superpower is that “I’m rich.”
When the trailer ends, Thor (Chris Hemsworth) angrily throws Mjolnir at the screen, to which Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) remarks, “Oh it’s definitely the end times.” The discouraged Avengers then seriously discuss their new competition, Stark laughing at the whole situation while Vision philosophizes and Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) offers to make some tea.
The video creator claims to not be taking sides, writing, “And I love both Marvel and DC so this is some really exciting period we live in right now.” While it may be a exciting time for many a comic book fan with the influx of superhero content on the silver and small screen, I hope that the presence of both theJustice Leagueand MCU movies in theaters don’t worsen the Marvel/DC enmity that rears its head every time there’s a bad Rotten Tomatoes score. We’re all just fans here, who only want to see our favorite heroes battling it out on the big screen, not each other behind our computer screens.
