This Video Reimagines The Marvel Cinematic Universe As A Romantic Comedy

In case you ever wondered what a Marvel romantic comedy film might look like, you're in luck: Vulture remixed scenes from various Marvel cinematic universe properties, added in dialogue from those films and created what could become the next romcom hit, at least if it were real.

Of course, that's not to say that there isn't already romance in the Marvel cinematic universe, but this clip turns it up a notch. It focuses on the relationship between Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), as well as a very weird relationship between Captain America (Chris Evans) and Bucky, the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan).

Of course, the most romantic partnership of the Marvel universe isn't present, probably because it isn't really that funny: the romance between Captain America and Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) from Captain America: The First Avenger movie. Of course, that would be more drama than comedy as it's still a subject of sadness for many fans of the Marvel cinematic universe.

There's no Loki in this clip either, but that's probably because he got his own fake movie called "Loki's Just Not That Into You," which gets a mention here.

What makes the video work, though, is the music chosen, which puts it on par with pretty much every real romantic comedy out there.

Just remember that this is fake, so if it's romantic comedy you're looking for this holiday season, you're still stuck with reruns of Love, Actually, which featured Andrew Lincoln telling Keira Knightley that he would love her forever, even if she looked like the Cryptkeeper from Tales from the Crypt (oddly enough, on The Walking Dead, he doesn't feel the same way about zombies, which look similar).

This isn't the first time someone's imagined a Marvel property as a romantic comedy. Saturday Night Live also created a fake solo Black Widow romantic comedy film.

Next up in the Marvel cinematic universe is the second season of Agent Carter, which premieres on ABC next year on Jan. 16, followed by Captain America: Civil War, which premieres in theaters on May 6.
