Marvel’s Civil War as montage: the Remix.

Many fans have taken it upon themselves to create collage trailers for comics storylines as movies using pieces of existing footage from films. One person in particular had done an interesting take on Civil War that included footage from almost every Marvel Comics-based movie to date, with the notable exception of the Corman-produced Fantastic Four. It’s well-executed and portentous with a few “Oh, hey!” moments. The only problem I had was with the musical selection, which was overbearing and made the entire production seem a bit po-faced.
So I fixed that.

Inspired. Or insane. AND insane.
Wow. That remix rocks.
“Stevie and Tony were best friends . . . until they had one heck of a blow-up! Now it’s time for a wacky battle of the bands like you’ve never seen before! Can these two crazy buddies figure out their differences before Old Man Doom forecloses on their nation? Or is this going to be a permanent case of . . . CIVIL WACKINESS?”
You’ll dance to anything by Day-pesh-kuh Mode.
Now that you’ve fixed the music, I think the big remaining problem is that title font is just terrible. Perhaps if it were “Civil War,” the Astaire/Rogers musical…
