Marvel Parodies Super Bowl Commercial With Mini-Thor
One of the most popular commercials from this year's Super Bowl was the Volkswagen commercial featuring a mini-Darth Vader trying to use the force to move various items around the house. I liked it so much, in fact, that I declared it the best Super Bowl commercial days before the game even aired. In the months since the video there have been plenty of parodies going around, but now Marvel has gotten in on the action.
The comic book giant has posted a new video on its YouTube page, but instead of a mini-Vader it has a mini Thor. The video is pretty much a shot for shot parody, with the exception being the costume and the music, using Richard Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries (nice touch) instead of the Imperial March. It's a fun little video with a cool ending. Check it out below alongside the original Volkswagen commercial.
