For the second time in their first two videos, the humor site takes aim at Marvel Studios, as the narrator calls out Marvel and Sony Pictures Entertainment for not making a deal to put Spider-Man and the Avengers in a shared cinematic universe.

Commenters on the YouTube video (embedded below) note that they’d rather see the X-Men in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it’s worth noting that Marvel and Sony have frequently come very close to making small crossovers in the past, whereas nobody has heard any credible report of Marvel having such a relationship with Fox.

The video is also released amid rumors that Marvel and Fox’s relationship is so toxic that some Disney stockholders would rather cancel Fantastic Four and Ultimate FF than appear to be supporting Fox’s upcoming, Josh Trank-directed movie based on the long-running Marvel Comics series.
