The Avengers get Friendified opening theme, and it’s hilarious

Friends Intro The Avengers Edition HD

We know The Avengers are a team of superheroes, but are they really super-friends?

A recent video posted on YouTube seems to make a pretty good case for Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, and the rest of the team being pretty good pals — but that could just be because it’s set to the theme song from ’90s sitcom Friends, which makes everything seem more, well… friendly (clap, clap, clap, clap), and also pretty ridiculous.

Created by YouTube user Jeremiah Rivera, who previously created a Friends-themed opening for the Harry Potter franchise, the video is a montage of scenes from The Avengers and various Avengers: Age of Ultron trailers. Favorite moment: The one where Hulk slams around Loki to the annoyingly iconic clapping part referenced above.

Maybe it’s the editing skills of the video’s creator — or possibly that ridiculous font — but this opening theme makes a convincing argument for a new sitcom in which Captain America and Thor share an apartment across the hall from Black Widow and Hawkeye, and Bruce Banner occasionally meets them at the first-floor coffee shop owned by Tony Stark.

Be honest: We’d all watch it.

Marvel’s Avengers will finally add Spider-Man and its first raid

Avengers standing together

Crystal Dynamics recently released a 2021 road map for Marvel's Avengers. It showcases all of the new content that players can expect for the rest of the year. Most notable in the road map is that Spider-Man is finally coming as a playable character, plus players will see the game's first raid and new reworks to the gear and resources.

It has been a full year since Marvel's Avengers was released, and it has seen a plethora of updates and changes to help it rebound from its less than ideal launch. With this new road map, players will finally get content that was supposed to be in the game since the start. Before the game was released, Square Enix announced that Spider-Man would be a playable character for PlayStation players. However, it has been a full year and Spider-Man has not swung into the game as of yet. The webslinger will finally join the roster with a new Hero Event, but no other details have been announced.

Marvel's Avengers, which recently created controversy for making Spider-Man an exclusive character for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, may eventually add X-Men to its cast of characters.

The license for Marvel's Avengers extends to all of Marvel's history of more than 80 years, the game's creative director Shaun Escayg said in an interview hosted by PlayStation Trophies.
