Thanks to two lightning-fast production schedules, we are once again treated to an X-centric YouTube video with plenty of laugh-out-louds. Just over two years since the release of X-Men Origins: Wolverine in May 2009, 20th Century Fox put out their fifth X-Men film today, and just over a week since the posting of their Mutants of the Caribbean Parody, ItsJustSomeRandomGuy and Gal have made their timely response! Check out the video below!
Call me a sucker for running jokes, but I absolutely loved this video for that very reason. While Magneto and Xavier took stage left for their debuts in the "Hi, I'm a Marvel...and I'm a DC" series, there was a certain hint of familiarity in their appearances--especially Magneto's. The reappearance of the metal locker that once smashed Peter Parker/Harry Potter, the repeated smashing of a foe, and his declaration as an "evolutionary superior, the savior of mutantkind, the Master of Magnetism"... It was definitely the Magneto that we've gotten to know and love in the RandomVerse. As for Xavier's appearance, we need not say much more than that Alec Guinness would have made a great Professor X.
Finally, in probably the best call-back joke of the year, Mystique's very first appearance was a short, but oh-so-sweet one. The joke was so perfect--the long-recorded fact that Ryan Reynolds plays both Deadpool and Hal Jordan comes deliciously full circle in a summer where Mystique and Hal Jordan are both in the movies--the priceless concept that yes, there really are two naked, blue, superhuman characters from comic book movies--the delivery... Man! It's no wonder the Randoms have been desperately searching for a Mystique action figure all this time!
Other things to note and enjoy about this video: the *incredible* fist that Green Lantern constructs with his power ring... Hal Jordan's been quite a trooper, representing DC all by his lonesome, courageously fighting an onslaught of Marvels, and doing a fairly good job at it... Whenever you can reuse a Gregory Peck/Family Guy quote in a completely fresh and different way, you know you're a comedic genius...

Hey, remember that one website? It had like...commentaries, ringtones, t-shirts...you could even, like, buy them. What was up with that?! Anyway, rumor has it that there's something new on it? Dude, no way!
Oh, now I remember. www.itsjustsomerandomstore.com, that's the website! I think it's still up and running or something. Go go go!
I KNOW, RIGHT?!?!
It's. Finally. Here. It's May 2011, which means the summer movie season is upon us! And thanks to four Marvel and DC movies--three of which are bona fide big screen debuts--it's going to be great to see some fresh blood (and fresh material) flowing from our favorite Marvel/DC YouTube videos from ItsJustSomeRandomGuy and Gal!
Speaking of fresh blood, THOR HATH SPOKEN! Yep, while Thor made his first RandomVerse appearance in 2010's RandomVid of the Year almost a year ago, this video marks the first time we've been privileged to hear RandomGuy's vocal rendition of the Mighty Avenger! His presence and huge personality dominates this video immensely, and I love it!
Just hours ago, ItsJustSomeRandomGuy posted the first RandomVid of 2011, and boy, is it fun!
Holy crap this video wins in many, many, MANY ways. Using Lars and Lance they way they did was a masterful decision. They also continued the tradition of incorporating music into their humor, which was a great touch. And not just any type of music. Fantastic techo/euro-pop and dynamite 90s electronica-type music. Gnarly, dude. I hope C2E2 lets them sell these as ringtones.
In case people aren't aware, C2E2 is just around the corner on March 18-20, 2011. AND, the 5th ever ItsJustSomeRandomPanel is going to be held on Friday, March 18th, at 6pm! I'm not going to be at the panel (ARGH!), but will be trolling around on Saturday with my girlfriend. So, don't feel too bad for me. Anyway, if you're a RandomFan around the Midwest, you should definitely consider going! Now remember...
C2E2 is... LIFE!!!
