Video: The Avengers go the silent-movie route

Since seeing this and this lately (thank you, Internet), I’ve had The Avengers on the brain this week. Because, you know, apparently I have the mental age and attention span of a 12-year-old boy.

If, like me, you're finding it hard to wait until The Avengers is released this Friday (although select Metro Vancouver theatres are doing late-night screenings this Thursday), you can slake your Marvel-induced cravings with this parody video that explores how the film might have turned out had it been made in the silent-movie era.
