Creating “save the date” and “same-day-edit” videos are serious business in the Philippines and many couples go all out when it’s their turn to walk down the aisle.
Case in point, this film-like save the date video inspired by Marvel’s superhero movies, that was posted on Facebook on Wednesday and has since gone viral.
The video has over 92,000 views as of this article’s posting.
“There’s a hero in all of us,” Wonderlast Films, the production company behind the video, wrote on its caption.
The video starts off with obvious Marvel symbols such as Thor’s hammer and a Wolverine figurine among others on a table.
“We all dream to be superheroes at least once in our life,” Maria, the bride-to-be narrates in the video.
“But me? I just want to be the girl with my own hero,” she added.
The video goes on to show Maria and her fiance Morris walking down a street when a mysterious creature suddenly appears before them.
“I’m here to ruin your fate,” the creature says. He kind of looks like Ronan the Accuser from the Marvel Cinematic Universe of Guardians of the Galaxy.
Morris, the future groom, then transforms into Iron Man, and in one scene, shows off the thunderous powers of Thor to fight the villain off.
The clip ends in a cliffhanger, like any good superhero flick does, with the villain giving Morris a WWE-style choke.
“What really makes one a great hero?” Maria asks before the video ends.
A day before the video was released, the group of wedding filmmakers posted a Marvel-esque poster on their page showing an engagement ring in some rubble.
Netizens were thrilled about the teaser, leaving comments of praise on the post:
Nash Torcuator tagged a friend and wrote: “This kind of wedding theme.”
Gray Walter wrote: “This video alone is a thousand times better than any Philippine TV series.”
Jeriel Ruzel shared: “WAHHH THIS IS SO COOL”
Rom Sayon says this is “the best wedding teaser ever.”
Che Cayabyab tagged a friend and said: “Omg look at their save the date wedding video.”
One netizen had a different comic book universe in mind. “EHEMMM i’ll be batman thanks,” Keana Janine Cruz said.
If this is just the save the date video, we wonder how their wedding will be like.
