It was two years ago today that I entered the club of people who have inexplicably wasted hours and hours of their lives combing through SuperFriends footage to create a parody video.  My unique contribution to the meme was to cross SuperFriends with the Watchmen.  The ultra-cool trailer to Watchmen had just come out (in that innocent era when we still thought the movie was going to be really good), and for some reason I can't remember anymore, the thought occurred to me, "Wouldn't it be funny if all of this cool Watchmen stuff was the SuperFriends instead?   And it turned out that it was pretty funny.

But it also turned out to be a LOT of work. Way more than I had anticipated.  But I didn't realize that until about halfway through, and by then it was too late to turn back.  All told, it probably took me the better part of four days to put this together, from locating the episodes of the show, to going through every episode with an eye for potentially usable clips, to finally settling in and recreating the Watchmen trailer shot for shot.  My favorite moment from the whole process was discovering the shot of Zann from the Wonder Twins exploding in a hail of ice cubes in a way that perfectly matched Dr. Manhattan getting disintegrated.  And then later, the totally coincidental shot of Robin mouthing the word "No" at the perfect time.  That wasn't planned.  And judging from most of the comments I've received, that's the favorite moment for most viewers.  

Happy Accidents.
