By and large, the pop culture community at large has praised the Volkswagon Passat commercial from this year’s Super Bowl to be the best to come out of that conflagration. There were bound to be imitators, but in this new teaser for the upcoming Thor movie, Marvel takes it in a slightly different direction, especially at the end.
I love this video. It rises above being a mere rip-off by adding its own personal touches. Not only does it parody ‘Little Darth Vader’ nearly shot by shot, it has charm all its own! The costume is great How many references to the Thor franchise can you point out, the video is full of them! Using Flight of the Valkyries is also pretty inspired. The Odinson within me is mightily pleased. We can all go see Little Thor’s adult counterpart on May 6th, in theaters everywhere!
