Warner Bros. finally decided to give DC fans what they’ve been waiting months for yesterday in the form of a brand new, action-packedJustice Leaguetrailer. Marvel has been running the superhero movie game for more than a decade now, but this trailer could signal that Marvel Studios may finally have some real competition on their hands. To illustrate that point, a YouTuber has brilliantly editedThe Avengersreacting to the newJustice League trailer, and they look worried.
The video was cooked up by a YouTuber namedDrMachakilwho claims to like bothMarvel and DCequally. That seems to show in the video, as he isn’t really taking sides. It is just good, clean fun. He mostly used the party sequence fromAvengers: Age of Ultronwhere the Marvel heroes are settling down after a long night of partying when Ultron busts in to give them a swift reality check. However, instead of reacting to Ultron, there is a big TV screen on Tony Stark’s wall playing the newJustice Leaguetrailer. It works perfectly.
The genius of using this particular sequence as a reaction to theJustice Leaguetrailer has to do with the fact that the Marvel heroes look concerned in the scene fromAvengers: Age of Ultronbecause they see a real, palpable treat in front of them. Assuming theJustice Leaguemovie is everything fans want and hope it will be, they will actually have some serious competition at the box office moving forward. DrMachakil also included Vision’s speech about their existence inviting competition. He also decided to throw a little bit ofPaul Ruddin there as Scott Lang just for good measure and comedic relief.
As for theJustice Leaguetrailer itself, there was certainly a ton ofexcitement leading up tothe reveal and, for the most part, people seem to be happy with what Warner Bros. revealed. However, given the reactions by many to bothBatman V Superman: Dawn of JusticeandSuicide Squad, there is some understandable hesitation by some to fully embrace what is going on in the trailer. After all, pretty much every trailer for both of those movies was fantastic and the movies, while enjoyed by many, were at best divisive andcritically panned. Still, for now, more people seem to be optimistic thatZack Snyderwas able to course correct enough to make the Justice League movie at least good, if not great.The Avengersvery well may have reason to worry.
