"The Avengers" TV trailer

OK, so the title may be a bit misleading. But I still think you should give it a watch, it brought me a lot of joy. 


"A fantastic mash up of various things gives us The Avengers of 1978. I love the fact they use Hawkeye from M.A.S.H. and Peter Wyngarde as Tony Stark is genius. The Avengers together for the first time in this 1978 made for TV movie.. They face off with their greatest foe yet… KISS, under the power of Loki, played by Paul Lynde."
