Fanvid: Defenders - Welcome to New York

[sholio]

This was intended to be my Defenders dance-party/fandom-recruitment vid at last spring's fan con in Seattle. You know what didn't work out about that? *waves hand vaguely at world* EVERYTHING.

I stopped working on it when everything went to hell in March, then ended up slamming out a version of it for the Con-Solation vid party on Discord, but was never really happy with some of the clip choices, and I've been tinkering with it and poking at things all summer long. By this point I haven't done anything new to it in months and I figure it's about as done as it's going to get.

So I present to you: Defenders: Welcome to New York. A tribute to 5 years of the Netflix Defenders universe.

This New Yorker, coming to you live from the East Village, says: great vid, especially the use of Jessica's final scene as the ending. But it made me cry, partly the way both Jessica's and Luke's stories ended, and partly all the empty storefronts I'm passing now and all the articles about people leaving the city in droves. Maybe rents'll come down some and the creative energy that's been driven out by money will return. We've been down before. Good lord -- the bars have been closed for months, and I'm just trying to imagine how Jess would cope!

Aww that last shot! And I loved all the parallel clips.

Oh, I love this! The lyrics and energy are perfect for the story you're telling. I love the hugs, and all the Jeri and general inclusion of everyone, not just the main characters.

Oh you made me cry. This is so sos sososososso good.

I love that line that went something like: everyone here used to be somebody else.

Fantastic, fantastic.
