The YouTube channel The Unusual Suspects has cut a new trailer forAvengers: Infinity War, following the movie’s Blu-Ray release, and has made it into a replica of theScott Pilgrim Vs. the Worldtrailer from 2010. The music, comedic timing, and graphics from Edgar Wright’s video game-themed movie all seem to work perfectly in this remarkably clever cut ofAvengers: Infinity War.
The trailer puts a bit of a focus on theGuardians of the GalaxyandThor, who were some of the more comedic characters inAvengers: Infinity War. In the style of Edgar Wright, the trailer cuts the humorous banter of Thor and the Guardians in a hilarious way, with the music and sound effects adding even more emphasis to the comedy of the moment. Even Peter Dinklage’s Eitri earns himself a laugh in this trailer mash-up, with his line, “that’s what killing you means,” being even funnier in this context.
About a minute into the trailer, some action starts to kick in, making the action-packed content ofAvengers: Infinity Wareven more fun with the music, comedic timing and over-the-top graphics. If you’ve ever wanted to see video game point scores showing up over dead Outriders asBucky Barnesshoots them, then this is the perfect video for you. It’s fun, and the music and graphics add to the overall experience, making us almost want to watch an entire cut ofAvengers: Infinity Warsetup just likeScott Pilgrim vs. The World.
This hilarious and fun fan-made trailer is actually a breath of fresh aircompared to the previous fan-made trailersthat have released over the past week. Making a trailer for one movie in the style of another movie has become a common trend online over the past few years, and the videos are almost always fun to watch. However, sinceAvengers: Infinity Warfirst released digitally three weeks ago, almost all of the fan-made trailers for it have been depressing. Two of the most popular fan-made trailers put the movie in the style ofLoganandX-Men: Days of Future Past, both of whom were incredibly slow and tragic in order to match the theme ofInfinity Warduring the final minutes of the movie.
Contrary to these depressing trailers, thisScott Pilgrimstyle trailer is a lot of fun. It’s upbeat, catchy, and reminds us that there is more toAvengers: Infinity Warthan a bunch of people turning to ash. There’s a reason whyAvengers: Infinity Warwas so re-watchable, despite having a two and a half hour runtime, and that was that the bulk of it was just action-packed amusement.
This clever trailer, created byThe Usual Suspects, perfectly captures the fun ofAvengers: Infinity War, and may be enough to convince people to watch the movie again. The Unusual Suspects have made a variety of other trailer mash-ups over the years, including many more Marvel-themed trailers, but thisInfinity Wartrailer may be their best creation yet.
