Notes
Once upon a time, I had just watched Iron Man and was thinking of songs to vid it to that wouldn't be cliché. For some reason, I got this idea and it simply would not go away.
I can't say I know a single vid that has done an a capella song, but that don't mean there isn't one already out there.
Mostly, it's a rather darkly ironic critique. After finishing this vid, I felt that Tony Stark is actually not a hero and if he's honest with himself, doesn't feel like one either. The tone of the vid seems cheery and even flippant on the surface; underneath, though, are a multitude of darker, grimmer things which are not addressed directly, but still noticeably there. I could get long winded about it, but I hope the vid speaks for itself enough that I don't have to.
